IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

[rebuilder 454]

Reader,.

The reason that the "catching away" happens where the ""Bride" meets the "Lord in the Air", in the "twinkling of an eye", ...and shall "all be changed"......happens before the Trib, .......is becaust the Rapture of the Body of Christ is specific to the end of the "Time of the Gentiles" that ENDS before the Trib starts.

Yes the pretrib rapture is CONFIRMED in God's word.
Only pretrib rapture fits.

The wrath is towards the end of the Great Tribulation that lasts approximately 3.5 years. (1278 days, 8 hours, 42 minutes would be close to exact - but the phrase "time, times and half a time" is not intended to mean precisely). We have several other scriptures mentioning the approximate time period of 42 months, 1260 days, 1290 days and 1335 days.
You identified when the the wrath comes in Rev. 11:15-19. It happens at the 7th Trumpet ( also referred to as the last trumpet). So the Mid-Trib/ Pre-Wrath view is correct.

"After the tribulation of those days", does not support Post-Trib and certainly not Pre-Trib views. It means after the days previously mentioned ( which are many, 1260). But notice it is not over yet.
At the 7th Trumpet, many events happen:
1. The kingdom of the world becomes the Kingdom of the Lord. He begins His reign as He takes control from Satan as defeats Him in battle.
2. Worship and Thanksgiving in heaven.
WRATH COMES (in the 7 Bowls released at that time)
3. Judgement of the dead
4. Rewards for servants are given ( a clear indication that we have just been raptured)
5. Dead in Christ are judged.
6. Temple in Heaven is opened
7. More devastation comes from the wrath that just begins.
So Jesus returns towards the end of the GT, but not after and not before. There are events between 1260 days and 1290 days and beyond up to 1335 days, after which the Millennial Kingdom begins.
Blessed are those who patiently make it through the 1,335 days. DAN. 12:12

Nope nope nope.
"One taken one left" is pretrib
Acts 1 " like manner" is pretrib
5 wise virgins are taken pretrib.
Not only that, but in 1st thes it says "the Ac is revealed at the rapture."
He comes on a white horse PRETRIB.
We do see a mid trib gathering in Rev 14:14
However, that gathering is MAIN HARVEST JEWS , as the firstfruit ethnic Jews are already harvested in Rev 14:1-4.

Your model leaves out a ton of dynamics.
