Post or Pre tribulation rapture..

[thesunisout]

Although I believe the scripture supports a post tribulation view because of certain verses which put the rapture at the end of the tribulation, I will say that I am not 100 percent certain about that or how it is supposed to work. I am 100 percent certain that Jesus is the Son of God, but I am not totally certain about the different end times positions, I just favor the post tribulation view because it seems to be the best supported. It also seems to go along with what the Lord has said in a few different ways, which is that we must endure to the end. When He says "end" I am convinced He is not just talking about the end of our lives, but also the end of time. He speaks in Revelation in a few places about these very points.

post-trib.
grew up pre-rib most of my life in southern Baptist and non-denominational churches, and when i first started to really study for the Bible for myself, and with the guidance of the Lord, He led me to post-trib.
there are many problems with pre-trib... 2 Thessalonians 2 tells us that certain things must happen before the Day of the Lord, and Matthew 24 tells us "after the tribulation of those days"... not before.
plus, this teaching has some serious deception behind it... while pre-trib teaches Christ comes first, the Bible teaches Antichrist comes first... when that day comes, and Antichrist is revealed to the world, those who hold to pre-trib will believe the strong delusion, the miracles, and the wonders that Antichrist will be performing. they will eat it up, because Antichrist will do everything in his power to appear as Jesus coming back.
that's why 2 Thessalonians 2 says "let no one deceive you by any means. for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition..."
and no, i dont view Revelation all literally. i see a lot of symbolism in the book, but i do see some stuff that should be taken literally
