Weird that this video considers post trib to be pre wrath. Post trib usually means after all the wrath God pours out as well.
No. Tribulation and wrath are different. The Great Tribulation is marked by 7 Trumpets. The wrath is marked by 7 vials (or bowls) of wrath and they each describe quite different events.
Also, consider revelation 11:15, the sounding of the 7th trumpet: "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."
This is the return of Jesus. Paul also notes that Jesus returns at the last Trumpet (1 Corinthians 15:52). Jesus himself describes a time of great tribulation such as the world has never seen, and then says, when he returns, it will be with the trump of God (Matthew 24:21 and Matthew 24:29-31).
Also note in Revelation 11:18, just after the 7th Trumpet sounds and Jesus takes over, it says the nations were angry and "your wrath has come". Do you see that? Seventh Trumpet, Jesus takes over, then the wrath comes to be poured out on a spiritually desolate world (because all God's people have been taken up at the sounding of the 7th trumpet).
Then, compare this with Revelation 19 which starts with the marriage supper of the lamb. The saints are there, participating in the marriage supper. There's a lot of praise for God and celebrating, at which time the saints are given new clothing, clean linen, fine and white, which is described as the righteousness of the saints (Revelation 19:8).
Shortly after this, all these saints gather behind Jesus to prepare for war. They ride down from the place they were raptured up to (Revelation 21:2 describes this place a "New Jerusalem come down from Heaven" and then gives a lengthy description of this "city's" physical attributes). The war they're riding down to is the battle of Armageddon, the last bowl of God's wrath.
Two simultaneous events happening at concurrently; up in New Jerusalem, the marriage supper of the lamb is happening. Down on a spiritually desolate earth, the wrath is being poured out, both of which culminate in the battle of Armageddon.
