I disagree. The Bible locates the rapture at the final coming of Jesus in judgment (2 Th 1:6-10, 2:1-8), and there is teaching that there will be no appearance of Jesus until that coming in judgment (Ac 3:21, Heb 9:28).
2Th 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
2Th 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
How can the wicked survive this? It is impossible! What unsaved person is exempt from this description “them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ”?
Amillennialists take these literally! Premillennialists are forced to spiritualize these away. This is complete, wholesale, and total destruction - for those left behind. There are no survivors! There are no goats left to enter into the supposed Premil future millennium!!!
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 says:
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [Gr. apōleia or destruction];
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth [katechō or restrains] that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity [Gr. anomia lawlessness] doth already work: only he who now letteth [katechō or restrains] will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked [Gr. anomos – or that lawless one] be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming [Gr. parousia]:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
So, sometime prior to the second coming, antichrist under the control of Satan will be allowed to perform his activities unimpeded – with all power and with all deception. Before the coming of the Lord there is a great falling away. None of this happens after the coming of the Lord as you have been taught. It precedes it. That is you twisting Scripture again. That is what you do! It seems like Scripture is there to be played with in your estimation instead of read, embraced and applied. If you did then you would be Posttrib.
Antichrist is shown here to be destroyed by the coming of the Lord. Hello! He is gone then. This is the end. There is no space for your imaginary tribulation after the coming of Jesus.
