The Pretribulation Rapture will not include a Resurrection

Just as when a Resurrection happened on the weekend our Lord was crucified, there was no rapture. If a rapture event of the righteous would have happened then, there would have been no one to teach the understanding of the scriptures.

This event of the rapture will take place as the scriptures reveal it at the end of the church age.

Jesus said:

26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. Luke 17

The scriptures point to the living righteous.

Rev.3:10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

The rapture is after the resurrection of the dead..

I say they are two separate events with the next Ressurection/Rapture event at Rev. 14:14 at the reaping of the earth.

14I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
 
There are not two second comings, only one. The writer to the Hebrews spoke of Christ coming a 'second time', not also a third.

I would say you see you see the events I posted happening at the end of the Tribulation.

Now this scripture foretells it just cant be!

John 14: 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

And the place Jesus went was heaven above!

Now, how can we go to where he is if you say it doesnt happen till the end of the Tribulation and he reigns on earth??

Impossible

John 14:3 doesn't mention going to heaven, but that we will be where Christ is, on earth. Mt 24:30,31.
