It's still not about a Pre-trib Rapture though. God's Word does not contradict itself, because it was given by The Holy Spirit.
Jesus revealed that the time of His coming and gathering of His saints will be AFTER... the tribulation, as written in Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27. And those 2 Scripture evidences directly parallel what Apostle Paul taught in 1 Thessalonians 4 about the day of Christ's coming to gather His Church, on the LAST DAY of this world. Paul reveals it will happen on the LAST DAY, because he showed the "asleep" saints must be RESURRECTED FIRST per 1 Thess.4:16. The future resurrection only happens on the last day of this world, which is when Jesus comes, NOT prior to the great tribulation like man's false pre-trib rapture theory teaches (also see John 5:28-29 by Lord Jesus).
The false Pre-trib Rapture School loves to misinterpret that too. The Greek for the KJV word "mansions" there is simply a word that means 'abodes', or chambers.
What Lord Jesus was pointing to are the chambers of the priests in God's House described in Ezekiel 40 forward regarding Christ's future "thousand years" temple on earth. I'm sure many of the Pre-trib Rapture school scholars know about this, and probably hope most of their deceived believers never open up their Old Testament and study about those priest's chambers in God's House written of in the Book of Ezekiel.
I even had a friend who went to a Pre-trib Rapture Church that even taught those Ezekiel 40 thru 48 chapter line upon line, and STILL missed the John 14 link of those priest's chambers in Christ's future Millennial temple called there God's House!
FALSE. All that is MADE UP and is NOT written anywhere in God's Word.
Lord Jesus and Apostle Paul especially revealed that His Church will... go through the coming "great tribulation", and told us how to not be deceived by the coming Antichrist-false Christ.
Apostle Paul taught the faithful Church is to remain sober (spiritually) and not drunken in the night (spiritually) like the deceived will be who will be saying, "Peace and safety" when the "sudden destruction" comes upon them with the day of Christ's coming that will surprise them (see 1 Thessalonians 5). Those spiritually drunken Paul pointed to are the deceived who are in darkness, meaning per that chapter those who DO NOT KNOW the "times and the seasons" of Christ's future coming on the "day of the Lord" (LAST DAY of this world).
One of the main topics of that "times and the seasons" is to know the "day of the Lord" is when Jesus comes which is on the FINAL DAY of this present world, and NOT prior to the tribulation. The false pre-trib rapture doctors even try to change the timing of that "day of the Lord" by teaching their deceived followers that happens prior... to the tribulation! So beware.
Both Apostles Paul and Peter showed the "sudden destruction" and burning of man's works off this earth by God's consuming fire happen on the "day of the Lord" which will come "as a thief in the night". Notice that Lord Jesus showed His coming is on that day also...
Rev 16:15-17
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
KJV
So how much common sense does one need to understand that when God's consuming fire and the sudden destruction Paul taught, comes upon this earth, that all working by man and by Satan's host on earth will be OVER? And that because of all the kingdoms of this world then becoming the kingdoms of The Father and His Son, as written in Rev.11.
So it is IMPOSSIBLE for the time of great tribulation and Satan's beast kingdom of Rev.13 to still be going on when the "day of the Lord" event happens "as a thief in the night" like Apostles Paul and Peter showed. See 2 Peter 3:10 and 1 Thessalonians 5.
