Why I believe in pre-trib rapture

I know who the lost 10 tribes are but many later scattered all abroad all over the world which is why Abraham's seed can be counted as the sand of the sea. And as I said, many are Christians today and probably don't even realize their own heritage in this day and age. But that still doesn't mean that Revelation isn't meant for everyone. The Lord's return and everything leading up to it and afterwards pertains to everyone regardless if the word Christian is mentioned. We know today anyone that counts the blood of Jesus Christ and has the word of testimony is a Christian.

Paul's teaching is that one must have the gospel armour on to be able to stand in that "evil" day. He's talking about that future day when Satan will be here defacto on earth deceiving the world. We only have one Word and it's all relevelant and will happen to one generation.

Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound the mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the prophets.

Revelation 11:3-7 [3] And I will give unto My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. ...[7] And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in Heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye Heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the Earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

(This armour is worn by the Lord: Isaiah 59:15-21.LXX)
Revelation never mentions armour. Therefore, Revelation 22:18-19 applies.

However, it IS true that kings will come from Abraham because his genetic-seed was scattered into every nation, and nobody really knows all of their own genealogy.

Jeremiah 50:6 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds thrust them out, they caused them to wander on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place.LXX

But the Gospel of the Kingdom came to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel,
because Ιησους was sent only unto the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.
And His sheep hear only His voice, John 10:5, John 10:16,
because they know the voice of the Father:

John 6:44-45 No man can come to Me except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.[45] It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught by God. Every man therefore that hath heard and hath learned from the Father, cometh unto Me.
helkuo = probably akin to haireomai; to drag (literally or figuratively):--draw.
haireomai = to take for oneself, to prefer:--choose.

The Father chose _____? ... ... ... Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
This is not a metaphysical-designation. This is literally, physical, genetic Jacob.
Messiah was sent by the Father
only unto the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. Matthew 15:24
The Messiah sent His Lost Sheep of the House of Israel
only to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. Matthew 10:5-7
The Risen Messiah sent them to find the Other Sheep. Matthew 28:18-20, John 10:16
This Gospel of the Kingdom is the Father's Gospel, John 17:6-8.
This Gospel finds the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel scattered among the nations.
________________
And this Kingdom is announced in the Revelation.
John kept the patient endurance taught by Messiah to his 12 Disciples,
and he kept the word of God given to the Son, Deuteronomy 18:18-19.
And the Revelation was given to John by the Risen Messiah. Revelation 1:9.
