Connecting the dots = a pre-tribulation rapture.

It's hard to tell just what you have said.

Why not ask me to clarify instead of misrepresenting me?

Tribulation of Noah's day
5 The Lord saw that the wickedness (depravity) of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination or intent of the thoughts of his heart were only evil continually. 6 The Lord regretted that He had made mankind on the earth, and He was [deeply] grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy (annihilate) mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth—not only man, but the animals and the crawling things and the birds of the air—because it [deeply] grieves Me [to see mankind’s sin] and I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor and grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Only Noah and family are left to save.

If pretrib were true, why not whisk them away before this point?
God instead protects them from his wrath to come (not the tribulation that leads to total depravity) and they survived. This then is a post trib setting.

So shall it be when Jesus comes.

After the trib of those days Jesus comes in vengeance to eternally separate the wicked and glorify his own.
Jude is a good read of us being present as judgment is poured out on the wicked....,


21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life.

22 And have mercy on some, who are doubting; 23 save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy but with fear, loathing even the clothing spotted and polluted by their shameless immoral freedom.

sorry scott but only in part you had been right . TIS True that JESUS indwells The beleiver
and its true they have been ressurected from death unto life .
BUT JUST AS TRUE is the FACT that JESUS IS COMING again the second time . NOW WHEN HE DO
its to lay d own the WRATH OF GOD against any and against all that fell for aharlots love and thus denied Him .

Do you not know that evil is swallowed up in death, which the dividing of the light from the darkness, even since the beginning? Are you too to be caught up for so long in the lie of prolonging these days and allowing evil even a little more time, by the teachings of men?
