Mt 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.
1Th 4:15-17
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:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Cor 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.
What do all these passages have in common?............the trumpet! The last trump......the 7th and last trumpet of Revelation. Post-Tribulation, all the way! Those who drag some obscure trumpet out of the OT are only lying to themselves. Don't believe it.
ALL of those who twist and pervert the scripture to show 2 comings of Christ are only lying to themselves. According to scripture, there is one 2nd coming and it occurs after the tribulation.
However, who cares? The rapture doesn't apply to anyone living during the last 1955 years. The rapture will be for Israel and those Gentiles in Acts who were part of Israel, because they were grafted into Israel. OUR "Rapture" today is the "Appearing". When Christ first "Appears" in Heaven (Heavenly places; The Heaven of Heavens; Far above all Heavens) to His creation there, we will immediately be translated to appear with Him and join Him there - Col 3:1-4. This is totally different than the rapture, which occurs at the 2nd Coming, about 800 years from now, after Israel's earthly Kingdom, where David sits on the earthly throne and Christ rules from Heaven.
The Appearing will probably happen in about 2063, when Israel once again becomes ammi, God's people, when this 2000 year Gentile period is over. It will be the 1st resurrection, which, along with everything in Paul's post-Acts books, had been a mystery, a secret, hid in God from every age and generation, until God revealed it to Paul and then Paul revealed it to us after the all-Israel Acts ended. We are all Gentiles today. Even the Jews, who must accept Christ as their Saviour to be saved, just like us. Nothing that ever pertained to Israel's future pertains to our future. Our future is found only in Paul's 7 post-Acts books
