Dancing and prancing around scripture will only make you go in circles.
It was made crystal clear that these Saints in Thessalonica were in
tribulation greatly being persecuted unto death.
Not only that but since the Apostle Paul understood OT Prophecy, he wrote these words to Thessolinica:
So when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left on our own in Athens.
2We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ,
to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,
3so that none of you would be
shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this.
4Indeed, when we were with you,
we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution;
and as you know, it has come to pass.
5For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for
fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and caused our labor to be in vain.
Which brings us to chapter 4 where the Apostle FIRMLY & FOREVER gives the exact ORDER of the Coming of the LORD.
Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
we also believe that
God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep/died in Him.
By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain
until the coming of the Lord
will by no means precede those who have died/fallen asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God,
and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
After that, we
who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
No pre-trib rapture for anyone = PERIOD
Resurrection FIRST at His Coming = exactly what our LORD says in the Gospels and in Revelation
SEE here: Revelation 6:9-11
And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld.
10And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You avenge our blood and judge those who dwell upon the earth?”
11Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer,
until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.
No one will understand Revelation if you
"add to and take away" from God's words with pre-trib or any other falsehood.
