For those who put the Rapture and the Second Coming at roughly the same time, I offer this list of contrasts between the Rapture and the Second Coming. Each number in one section corresponds to the same number in the other section. This is also a list that supports the Rapture happening before the Tribulation, and the Second Coming happening at the end of the Tribulation.


At the Rapture:
1. Christ comes FOR His own in the air
2. All believers are translated into new bodies
3. Christians are taken to the Father's House
4. There is no judgment on the earth
5. The Church will be in Heaven
6. It is an imminent occurrence
7. There are no signs preceding it
8. It affects believers only
9. It is a time of joy
10. it occurs before the day of Wrath
11. No mention of Satan
12. The Judgment Seat of Christ happens next
13. There is the marriage of the Lamb
14. Only Christ's own will see him
15. The Tribulation begins

At the Second Coming:
1. Christ comes WITH his own
2. No Translation of bodies
3. resurrected saints remain on earth
4. Christ judges the inhabitants of the earth
5. Christ sets up his kingdom on earth
6. It can not occur until the seven-year Trib period
7. The are numerous signs preceding it
8. It affects all humanity
9. It is a time of mourning
10. It occurs after the Tribulation
11. Satan is bound in abyss 1,000 years
12. No judgment seat of Christ
13. His bride descends with him to earth
14. Every eye will see him
15. The millennial reign of Christ begins

There is very little agreement between these two charts, demonstrating that the Rapture does not happen at the Second Coming. Note also that the Rapture is only revealed in the NT, whereas the Second Coming is revealed in both the OT and NT. That is because the Rapture was a mystery doctrine.

II Thes 2:1-3, Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God, sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

According to God's word, Satan will come first, before Jesus, claiming to be God and will cause a very great falling away from the true Lord due to his lies and deception. Christ deoesn't return until AFTER the workings of Satan, II Thes 2:9. You can believe God's word and escape the deception and tribulation of Satan by knowing he is a fake or you can follow the traditions of men and fall away.

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

There is only 2 resurrections 1 of the saints before the millennial reign of Christ and 1 of the dead after it.

Mat 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Mat 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

There is no left behind saints for the hypocrites will not be caught up not having salvation, and after the resurrection the world does not have salvation because they rejected the truth.

Which the Gospel will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations and then comes the end.

So they knew about the Gospel so if they did not get caught up in the resurrection they cannot receive salvation for they rejected the truth.

1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Zec 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:

and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

The resurrection of the saints will happen.

Then Jesus will come back with all the saints and defeat the world and save Israel and rule for 1000 years with the saints.

You might want to read Revelation 20 again because it says that those who do not take the mark or worship the beast or his image will be in the first resurrection.

Well done, @EddieM! Just wanted to add that while Tribulation will follow the Rapture, it isn't the Rapture that begins Tribulation. There could be a gap of time of unknown amount before Tribulation begins following the Rapture.

Yes, true indeed, I think the belief now is that the Tribulation starts when the Antichrist and Israel sign the 7-year covenant.

Try reconciling the chart! Try to explain the chart from a Post-Trib position.

It would help if you would provide scripture for each assertion. For example, in #1 you say Christ comes FOR his own, and in the next #1 you say Christ comes WITH his own. What verses make that distinction?

Are you a Post-Tribber? The reason I ask is because the Post-Trib position holds to a Rapture and a Second Coming, just like the Pre-Tribber. Post-Tribbers believe that Christ comes FOR his bride at the Rapture (they meet in the air), but then Christ immediately returns WITH the bride to earth. Both positions hold this view. What is a stake is WHEN these two events happen.

There is another difference. With the Pre-Trib position, Christ comes FOR his bride AND THEN he takes his bride back to the Father's house in heaven.

If you are a Post-Trib, then I am sure you know the Scriptures well enough to read the Rapture passages and Second Coming passages. This first number in each column is the most basic, verifiable truth. You learn this is Bible 101.

Here is a hint. Read 1 Thess 4 and Revelation 19.

“There is only 2 resurrections 1 of the saints before the millennial reign of Christ and 1 of the dead after it.”

theres one resurrection for each testament and peoples

One for the saints promised in the ot

“Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

fulfilled after Jesus rose

“and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:52-53‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and there’s another resurrection promised in n the New Testament for Christian’s who aren’t saints but sinners who repented and had thier sins remitted.

remember theres the 144000 of the children of Israel marked first by the ot and then after we see numerous peoples added to the imagery in the nt

The Tribulation is a time for the Jewish people to return to the LORD (through national suffering/discipline), and then have each of the covenants fulfilled. Chapter 14 is referring to the Jewish dispensation. It has nothing to do with the Church Age. This is a clear reference to the Second Coming. Nothing like this happens at the Rapture. ! Thess 4.17 is a clear reference to the Rapture of the Church/Bride of Christ. Dispensationalists see the Rapture at GJohn 14:1-3, a prophetic event mentioned during the Jewish Dispensation. Remember, the Church has no relationship to the Jewish Dispensation. The Gospel writers were writing about a time in the OT, the NT starts at Acts 2. Failure to make this distinction will result in 'anything goes' in one's intreprtative method. You can't have two elect groups in the same dispensation.

To base a doctine on two words is naive. Notice that one says CLOUD and one says CLOUDS. One says "in" the clouds, while the other says "on" a white cloud. One uses the plural and the other is signular.

You need to read Revelation 20. All of It.
Those Saints that are beheaded, do not take the mark, nor worship the beast or his image are in the first resurrection. Verses 4-6
Verses 14-15 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not written in the book of life were cast into the lake of fire."
To escape the lake of fire one must be in the first resurrection.
All whose name is not in the book of life suffer the second death, the lake of fire.
So all those in the book of life must be in the first resurrection alone with those who are beheaded, do not take the mark, nor worship the beast or his image.
Now show me in where a pre-trib rapture fits this Scripture fact.

Does your Pre-trib rapture include a Resurrection?
 
I am pretrib rapture. I started out as a pretrib because that's what I was taught when young. When I went on my own eventually someone talked into posttrib rapture. When I got around to really studying it for myself I saw things that made me think pre trib. All scripture has to agree with all other scripture. You should see my notes on the rapture!

I am so solidly pre trib again. When one uses the Bible and a concordance and looks up almost everything in the concordance, the truth comes out and is now, glaringly obvious to me. Then I always watch some teaching videos to see if what I thought is how other people understand it too?

This guy, Allen Nolan believes about the rapture exactly how I do, and he uses scripture for everything.
His chart looks very similar to the one in the OP.

Revelation 20
There is no pre-trib rapture.
There is one resurrection of all whose name is in the book of life and it is at the second coming of Jesus after the great tribulation.
Jesus resurrects those in the grave, those who are still alive will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye ,all with be gather by the angels from around the world as we joined Jesus in the air and return with Him to the earth.
After the seven vials of God.s wrath is poured out on the evil men of this earth, the beast and the false prophet will be cast alive into the lake of fire and Satan will be changed for a 1000 years as Jesus begins His 1000 reign,
After the 1000 year reign of Jesus, Satan will be loosed to gather an army that God will destroy.
Then the second resurrection will be of all whose name are not in the book of life and they alone with Satan will be cast into the lake of fire.
There are two resurrections. The first will be of all whose name is in the book of life at the coming of Jesus.
The second will be of all whose names are are not in the book of life, and they will be cast into the lake of fire.
A pre-trib rapture of the church is a man made doctrine not supported by Scripture.
