there is tribulation then their is great tribulation

all people goes through tribulation. But Jesus speaks of a "great" tribulation such as the world has never seen whivch immediately follows the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel in Chapter 9.

Pre-trib is a term used by those who believe God will rapture all those who are saved on earth before this tribulation

Later trib? Can you explain further? I am not sure, are you asking if this trib is yet future, or as some believe has already passed?

1 Corinthians 15:51-57 …..Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”



Revelation 11:15-18 ………….. ????Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

looks simple the raptrue is at the last trumpet at the end of tribulation

Here is the meaning of the word tribulation from dictionary.com.

grievous trouble; severe trial or suffering.
an instance of this; an affliction, trouble, etc.

We live in a world that is hostile to God so if we are faithful to God we will experience tribulation all our lives. However a different kind of tribulation is foretold. God will begin judging the world and it will experience a period of seven years called the Tribulation. The judgment will be especailly severe during the last half of that time, which is known as the Great Tribulation. Chapters 4 to 19 of Revelation describe the events of that time. The tribulation that comes from the world is something we can't avoid, but we will be taken out of the world by the Rapture before God sends tribulation to the earth. Jesus compared the time of his return to the days of Lot. As Lot was taken of Sodom before it was destroyed we will be taken out of the world before it is judged.
