None of those scriptures has anything to do with the supposedly Christian rapture either before, during, or after the great tribulation.
The strongest case we have for a rapture in the Bible is found in Matthew 24:29-32 where it says: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." Note this about that scripture, the rapture comes AFTER the great tribulation, why? Why do we have to go through the crap? Because God is threshing his wheat, those who still believe and cling to Him will be saved. Going through the Great Tribulation will not be fun or pleasant, it will be absolutely the worst thing we could possibly endure! Pain, war, misery, hunger, thirst, disease, the list goes on and on, and through it all we have to somehow stand strong and keep the faith, all I can do is pray that I can endure it should it happen in my lifetime. Christians today think this is not going to be all that big of a deal, we in America and the Western world live very sheltered lives, and when the crap hits the ceiling there will be a huge falling away, that falling away is discussed in the Bible, yet God makes sure there is always a remnant, those that stayed the faith so they can witness to others in severe need, those people don't want to see crying fearful fallen Christians, they will seek out those who have managed to stay strong and wonder why.
