Those verses do not prove a rapture at all. You falsely insert a rapture, where nothing like that is intended in scripture.
The only correct part of this guesswork is; the GT martyrs will serve Jesus in the MK.
The Great Multitude are living people, it is them who come through the terrible Sixth Seal event, by their faith and trust in the Lords protection. Rev 7:14
Deaths by the sword, famine plagues and wild beasts are not natural. They have all happened over the last 2000 years. It could hardly have been worse! It is the way, it can be estimated; that about a quarter of the people born since AD 1, have deid.
1 Th 1:10 is proven to be about the pre-Trib rapture, in the following:
1 Th 1:10 (NIV): and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who
delivers us from the wrath to come.
The applicable definition of “Delivers us"
“snatched away” (raptured): "The second usage of deliverance refers to the Acts of God whereby he rescues his people from danger. The key words nasal [l;v"n] ("draw out,
snatched away")," --- Source: Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology.
We are forcefully
“taken” in John 14:3, which is about the same rapture:
John 14:3 (NIV): And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and
take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
We are
“gathered to Him:”
2 Th 2:1 (NIV): Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being
gathered to him, …
We are
“caught up:”
1 Th 4:17 (NIV): After that, we who are still alive and are left will be
caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
We next have to answer: What is God’s wrath?
Ezekiel 14:21 (NLT): “Now this is what the Sovereign Lord says: How terrible it will be when all four of these dreadful punishments fall upon Jerusalem—war, famine, wild animals, and disease—destroying all her people and animals.
Therefore, God’s wrath can be wars, famine, wild animals (who brutally kill humans), and disease.
This is the 2nd seal:
Rev 6:4 (NLT): Then another horse appeared, a red one. Its rider was given a mighty sword and the authority to take peace from the earth.
And there was war and slaughter everywhere.
God’s wrath in the Trib starts in the 2nd seal.
1 Th 1:10 proves the timing of the rapture is pre-Trib. That’s the Bible saying it; not me

1 Th 1:10, Ezekiel 14:21 and Rev 6:4 prove the pre-Trib rapture. You can’t disprove that. Your opinion is not proof.
As of Rev 9:4, the only folks living on the earth are the 144k (sealed servants of God) and unbelievers. This is even more proof of the pre-Trib rapture.
Rev 9:4,(NIV):,They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
The 144k are God’s servants in creating the greatest revival in the Trib. The unbelievers who are converted become martyrs. Those martyrs are in Rev 6:9 and Rev 20:4. They are resurrected in the last sentence of Rev 20:4. They are then seen in Heaven in Rev 7:9-17. They will serve Jesus in the MK (last sentence in Rev 20:4). It is they who are the GM.
Your citation of AD1 means you don’t accept the fact that Daniel’s 70th week is only seven years long. AD1 has no part in a future “week” of seven years. All of Rev 4 and beyond (the only exception is Rev 3:10) are in the future.
