There is no scripture that teaches Pre- Trib rapture I have studied this in depth for yearsthere is only men who twist scripture to try to see what is not said. Their main scripture they use is1 Thess. 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.If you take this verse at face value which is not nessairily the only way to understandit Then the question is whenAnd we are told exactly when in 2 Thess. it is After the Antichrist (the son of perdition)1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,2That 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.3Let 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;4Who 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.Verse four is the Abomination of Desolation of Daniel which we are told is the mid- week of the Tribulation.So 2 Thess not only tells us that the gathering together is not before the tribulation but verse 4 is speaking of the middle of the tribultionChrist will not return until the the 7th trump it is the only time we are ever told Christ will return after the Tribulation
Read it in its right context the Greek word "Apostesi" "Falling away" is a combination of two Greek words, "Apo" Departing, and "Histemi" To a set place. Nowhere in 2 Thess 2: 3, does it say, A Falling away from the faith, That is what 1st Imaginations say, Then and then only can the anti-Christ come. read v7-8, The Church is holding back, [Stopping him coming]When Jesus comes back we will come with him, read my post, "Why christians won't go throughthe tribulation"Pre in its prefix means before, mid in its prefix means during... And Pre-Tribulation and Mid-Tribulation are both completely unscriptural. All you doing is leading souls away from Him, away from the True Christ.JagLovest thou in Christ Yahshua, Lord and Saviour of the world.
