I agree, my friend. I struggled with this for a long time, but feel posttrib is what Jesus preach, however, I judge not my fellow Christians, lest I be judged. All I can do is present this evidence, and let the Holy Spirit take over.
Jesus did not preach a post trib rapture. What we call the tribulation, is the 70th week of Daniels prophesy.
And the 70 weeks are for The Jewish nation to receive Christ.
Daniel 9:
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
MAtt. 24:
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
While revelation is highly symbolic in so many places, one notices the church is not mentioned after Chapter 4 until Chapter 19 When we are in heaven celebrating our marriage to Jesus! this happens before the trib ends so we have to be in heaven prior to the end of teh 70th week. There are many more. One important one (when I have time I will gather all the verses) is that the 70th week is called the wrath of God, the wrath of the Lamb, day of His wrath. So wrath when not specifically called for another thing is always used of the trib and in Thessalonians we are told the church is not ordained to wrath buyt to obtain deliverance!
