Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. - Revelation 16:15
If this was post trib it would be rather well announced!
It is well announced, even by Jesus who gave that warning of Rev.16:15 on the 6th Vial that He comes "as a thief".
Rev 16:15-17
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
KJV
If Jesus is still warning His Church on earth at the 6th Vial timing like that is showing, then the "day of the Lord" when He comes to gather His Church doesn't happen until the 7th Vial is poured out. That because Paul showed the "day of the Lord" will come "as a thief in the night" (1 Thess.5). Peter showed that timing too (2 Pet.3:10).
That's enough info Jesus gave there to let us know for sure that His return and gathering of His Church on earth is after the tribulation. Hey... didn't He show His return and gathering of the saints would be 'after the tribulation of those days'? Yes, He did, in Matthew 24.
