Since there is a lot of tiresome nonsense being published about (a) no Rapture, (b) a Post-Tribulation Rapture when that would be impossible, (c) a Rapture where Christians do not go to Heaven, (d) a Rapture which coincides absurdly with the Second Coming of Christ, etc., every Christian should be aware that a plain study of the Bible is sufficient to establish the Pre-Tribulation Resurrection/Rapture as an important and critical Christian doctrine. You may ask why it is critical, and the answer from Scripture is that it is critical because it completes the salvation of the saints, which is glorification.
Right there in the above paragraph is where your vain attempt to deceive starts.
The Signs Lord Jesus Himself gave His Church for the timeline of His return to gather His Church is for AFTER... the tribulation like He said. What you say goes directly opposite of what Lord Jesus said. What you say is not to be relied on.
Matt 24:29-31
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
KJV
That IS... the day of Christ's 2nd coming on the LAST DAY of this world, which is why He said it will be "Immediately after the tribulation of those days". It is when He will appear coming in the clouds like Revelation and all the Apostles reveal, and when He will gather His Church. And He linked it to the "day of the Lord" with His coming as a thief (Rev.16:15; Matthew 24:42-44; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-4; 2 Peter 3:10).
The men behind the false pre-tribulation rapture theory are living behind a huge LIE against God's Word. They don't care if they lie either, as long as they can get their monies and fame among the deceived. God did not call nor send those men.
