If man's false Pre-trib Rapture theory were true, then they would have ample DIRECT statements written in God's Word to prove it.
Yet all they do is mouse around with man's words with chopping up the CONTEXT of Bible Scripture to FORCE it to mean what they want instead.
They rely on taking short phrases out of the Biblical context, like...
"blessed hope"
"For God hath not appointed us to wrath..."
etc....
... when none of those phrases are direct statements as to the timing of Christ's future coming.
And when you show them 'direct statements' that gives the proper timing of Christ's coming, even by Lord Jesus Himself, they REJECT IT, i.e., Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27, which Jesus gave to part of the FOUNDATION of His Church, His Apostles that were with Him upon the Mount of Olives.
Nor do they even understand... Apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4 about the timing Paul showed there, but they just pass over it as quickly as possible!
1 Thess 4:14-16
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
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
The dead being raised on the day of Christ's future coming is about the resurrection that Apostle Paul taught also in 1 Corinthians 15.
It also is the "last day" that Jesus said when He will raise up all that which The Father had given Him...
John 6:39
39 And this is the Father's will Which hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
KJV
1 Cor 15:51-52
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
KJV
When Apostle Paul spoke of the dead being raised in 1 Cor.15, he associated it directly with the sounding of the "last trump", or trumpet. That means the 7th Trumpet. And Revelation 11 shows when that 7th Trumpet sounds, ALL the kingdoms of this world become those of The Father and His Christ.
That means it is impossible... for the tribulation to still be going on.
It also means it is impossible for the resurrection of the dead to happen PRIOR to the "great tribulation", for no such idea is written anywhere in all of God's Word.
Yet the deceived Pre-trib Rapture creators just say about all those direct time pointers when the resurrection will happen with Christ's coming, "Ah... we'll just leave those parts of Scripture out, so we can cover just the rapture prior to the tribulation."
