Give me chapter and verse (without commentary) for what that says.
Remember. No commentary! Just chapter and verse.

This is a mishmash...

"AFTER the Tribulation is Christ Coming/Resurrection FOLLOWED by the Rapture is for those who believe and receive His words."

After what tribulation?

So God is going to rapture us after the tribulation?

Who, then, will be left on earth at that point to be saved from the ended tribulation? Unbelievers????
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

That plainly speaks of when the Tribulation ends.




The Church will have been Raptured before the Tribulation took place.
While in Heaven with the Lord for the seven years of the Tribulation we are to be preparing to reign with Christ for 1000 years.

Matthew 4:29 is pointing to the return of Christ after the Tribulation ended, returning to earth to reign while seated on David's throne.
Matthew 4:29 described when the Tribulation just ended and the Millennium begins!

The Rapture is not Jesus Christ returning to earth.

For we shall meet in the clouds and be taken to Heaven.
No coming earth for the Rapture!

Matthew 24:29​
​

That says the Tribulation days are over.
That is when Jesus will return to earth with power and great glory.

I agree. It also plainly speaks of Jesus returning at that time... yes?

Same chapter, but a few verses later:

Mathew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

So then isn't this describing the same event from 10 verses earlier?

The Millennium will begin with only believers on the earth.
Just like after Noah's flood.

Matthew 24:39 is about God removing all unbelievers from earth to beckon in the Millennium with only believers on earth.

The verses, though. "One shall be taken, and the other left" doesn't describe a rapture?

So then, let me see if I have this right... Matthew 24 doesn't say anything about a rapture, then?
