Pre-Tribulation Rapture:Supported By the Bible!

There are different teachings out there about the rapture and how it fits in with the tribulation period.
These different teachings have to do with the timing of the rapture.
There are three of them to be exact.

1. Pre-tribulation Rapture
2. Mid-tribulation Rapture
3. Post tribulation Rapture

• While the Bible does not support the last two teachings, the mid-tribulation rapture and the post tribulation rapture, it does indeed support the pre-tribulation rapture teachings.
• The mid -tribulation rapture is the teaching that the rapture takes in the middle of the tribulation period.
  
• The problems with this are the following:
• 1. This puts the Church on the earth at the beginning of the tribulation period.
  
• 2. This means that Christians would have to go through the first half of the tribulation.
• 3. This goes against Jesus Christ teachings about the tribulation period in Matthew Chapters 24-25, Mark Chapter 13, Luke Chapter 21, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about there being no condemnation for the believer in Romans, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about the rapture in I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
• 4. There is no warning in the Bible for the Church on what to do during the tribulation period to avoid being killed, or any other warning for the Church at all.
• 5. No sufficient support for this teaching at all in the Old or New Testaments.
  
• The post-tribulation rapture is the teaching that the rapture takes place after the tribulation period.
• Problems with this are the following:
• 1. This puts the Church on the earth at the time of the tribulation period for the entire event.
• 2. This means that Christians would have to go through the tribulation.
• 3. This goes against Jesus Christ teachings about the tribulation period in Matthew Chapters 24-25, Mark Chapter 13, Luke Chapter 21, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about there being no condemnation for the believer in Romans, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about the rapture in I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
• 4.There is no warning in the Bible for the Church on what to do during the tribulation period to avoid being killed, or any other warning for the Church at all.
• 5. It makes no sense because the second coming of Christ takes place after the tribulation period sometime,so the Church would be raptured up only to be brought back to the earth immediately afterwords.
  
• 6. Defeats the purpose in the rapture to keep the Christians from the judgment upon those on the earth during the tribulation period.
• 7. No support for this teaching at all in the Old or New Testament.
  

Conclusion: Part A. The Pre-tribulation Rapture is the only one supported by the Bible,so it is the real deal!
Part B. If you know, you will be here for the tribulation period,you are a fraud-non believer who needs to be saved.
Part C. If you think you might be here for part or all of it,but are a believer/Christian (person who has accepted Jesus,gotten saved) already,you have not studied about the end time prophecies portrayed in the Bible enough.
Part D. If you still have doubts about the end times study the Bible prophecies about it in Revelation 11, Daniel Chapters 9,11-12,Matthew 24-25, Mark Chapter 13, I Thessalonians Chapter 4, II Peter Chapter 3, and various other Bible passages.
If you are not sure where you will be during the end times you are either a. lost,b.backslidden,or c. not into the Bible enough as a Christian.
