I didn't say it wouldn't happen. I am saying it doesn't happen to remove people to keep them from the evil one which means the Church will be persecuted and killed by the evil one (the antichrist backed by satan). The rapture happens when the trib has ended.
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him (the antichrist) to make war with the saints (not the Church since the gates of Hell cannot prevail against the since it is no longer on the earth), and to overcome them (the saints, not the Church): and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations (Not the Church since the Church will not be on this earth).
