How do Pre-Trib Rapture believers answer to these two scripture verses?
What is it, "the Rapture"?
Or the End?

What consolation have either one of you have brought to Christianity in the false belief in the Rapture?
TPeterY said in post 2:
Also for those wondering why Jesus spoke of the Tribulation period from Matthew 24:15-28, it's because some people will repent and finally turn to God by accepting Jesus during the Tribulation. He's giving guidance to them of what to look for and avoid.
Just because it's there does not mean it's for us.

It's for those left behind.
The saints who will be in the tribulation will be us, the church, for they will be believers in Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:9-13, Revelation 7:9,14, Revelation 13:7-10, Revelation 14:12-13, Revelation 20:4-6)

Revelation 7:9-14
New King James Version (NKJV)
A Multitude from the Great Tribulation
9) After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10) and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11) All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12) saying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”
14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.”
So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Do you not see that they are in Heaven?

Bible2, there will be unbelievers and Christians that got left behind who will repent and accept Jesus (or return) and come to God during The Great
Tribulation.
TPeterY said in post 7:
Just because of [Rev. 13] verse 7, it do NOT mean there is a post-trib rapture.
Note that nothing in the Bible says or requires that any believer will be left behind at the rapture.
Is such a mistaken idea usually based on Luke 17:26-37 and Matthew 24:37-41? If so, see the last section of post 6.

To really understand Matthew 24, you'll have to know that Jesus was talking to different audiences throughout the chapter. And you'll also have to look at Matthew 25 to get the big picture.
TPeterY said in post 9:
Jesus always told us to keep watching for His return and starts off with the most important sign given to the saints of His return for the end times that being the revival of Israel in 1948

The Parable of the Fig Tree
32 Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it[d] is nearat the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, My master is delaying his coming,[g] 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25:31-46
31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy[a] angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

Always remember: there will be an END to the church age.
After that, there will be an END to the 70th week.
If one confuses the scriptures about these different ends, their end times doctrine will be confused: just what we see in this forum.

Wait a minute, outside of Dispensationalism, where does it state scripturely, that there is a church age and that it will end?

There will be an END to the Law.
Did you ever read about the five virgins locked out when a door closed? Once closed, that door will never open again. Jesus referred to this same door in a parable.
Luke 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Please note, there was a beginning of LAW. There will be an END to the Law. There was a beginning of the church, and there will be an END to the church. There was a time BEFORE the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came down, and there will be a time when He is withdrawn.
There isn't one single verse that says "The law was a dispensation" or "the church is a dispensation." However, we can read verses that show us these things. Take, for example, the time from Adam to Moses - there was NO LAW. Then, after Moses, it was a time of LAW. God acted differently towards man in these two time periods.

Really it doesn't...because Jesus spoke this to the Church of Philadelphia...it says so right in the passage. The 7 churches were actual churches that were about to feel the persecution of Christian in their day.you must hate this verse.. Really throws a wrench in your whole theory.
From the mouth of Jesus Christ, God himself.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
