Apostle Paul made it EASY... to know that Lord Jesus' future coming and gathering of His Church is when the future RESURRECTION happens...

1 Thess 4:16
16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
KJV

When is that RESURRECTION in the future per God's Word?

John 6:40
40 And this is the will of Him That sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
KJV

That "last day" means the very END of this present world on the day of Jesus' future return. And that means AFTER THE TRIBULATION, just as Jesus said in Matthew 29-31 and Mark 13:24-27.


Thus those STUCK on man's FALSE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE THEORY are either agreeing to believe a LIE, or they are PART OF THE LIARS WHO ARE PUSHING THE LIE, ON PURPOSE, AND ARE OUT TO DECEIVE many of Christ's Church.

How many preachers today push that FALSE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE LIE today, and REJECT what The Bible Scriptures actually teach?? Why do they do that? Don't they realize the danger to their soul they are putting it into? Is MONEY really that much more important to those instead of Christ's Salvation?

And what about those DECEIVED that follow those preachers on that FALSE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE LIE? Don't they realize that preacher cannot get them into Heaven, but only The Father through His Son Jesus Christ can? Don't they realize that what God says in HIS Word is The MEASURE, and not what those FALSE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE preachers claim with their pushing men's doctrine? Just HOW MANY Rolls Royce cars and swimming pools do those like Joel Osteen really need?

It's difficult for me to believe a Christian brother would heed the FALSE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE theory while not seeing what those FALSE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE preachers are doing with their play-acting, just like what the unbelieving Pharisees tried to do with attempting to appear pious and holy to the people, while exalting themselves over the people and their wealth.

2 Thessalonians 2 is another... Bible reference from Apostle Paul showing that Christ's future 2nd coming will be to END the future "great tribulation".

2 Thess 2:1
2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
KJV


Paul's subject is the future coming of Christ Jesus, and the gathering of His Church.

2 Thess 2:3-4
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;
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.
KJV


Two events MUST happen FIRST prior to Christ's coming. That "falling away" (away from Christ) and that "man of sin" must come FIRST. Both of those events are TIED TOGETHER. The "falling away" will be caused by that "man of sin" coming to sit in the Jew's stone temple in Jerusalem with exalting himself in place of Christ. That is the actual meaning of the word "antichrist" per the Greek (instead of Christ, or in place of Christ).

That emphatically means the Antichrist MUST come first playing God and deceive the whole world with that falling away happening within those deceived in the Church.

2 Thess 2:8
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming:
KJV

That "man of sin" will only be revealed to the deceived when Jesus comes AFTERWARDS to destroy that false one with the "brightness of His coming". That means Jesus comes to END that time of tribulation and reign of that "man of sin", and only then gathers His saints. It means a POST-TRIBULATION COMING BY LORD JESUS.
