Ex 16:16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud;
1 Thes 4:16 (B) With the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: "
matthew 24 " Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, ( the world will be going on as normal when Jesus returns) 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."
revelation 13 " And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
revelation 14 " And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
the saints those who keep Jesus testimony and commandments, are on earth while all of this is happening, its been unfolding since jerusalem was destroyed in ad 70. and has spread to every part of the earth the world is currectly in tribulation, its just that we see our own world and neighborhood and city. when you look globally from jerusalem at the center, there is total chaos around thier borders all reletive middle eastern countries, china, russia, Iran, north korea, syria ect all of these countries foundational belief is that Israel needs wiped from existance. there are famines terrorists spreading like fire through africa and europe, already consumning the levant. even peceful nations like america there are murders and rapes and terrible abuses of children and the prisons are so full we have no room left, weve removed Gods name from nearly everything public, were fluirting with nuclear war. the world is not like it seems in our living room, or church building, were blessed to have been born in a place of less chaos, but its not that it isnt occuring.
the " rapture" is simply the day of the Lord when Jesus returns with all those who have been martyred to gather those who believed and condemn those who would not believe. the 7 year rapture stuff is just people trying to firgure out whats not really there. Jesus is the way to understand whats coming for His people. he has alot to say of His return and the gathering of His elect. he claims as revelation claims that believers will exist in a world that is of darkness and many persecutions they will face, that the world and its rule will hate those who are disciples of Jesus. the thing is it was a;lready a dark and evil world , thats Why we killed the One good man who ever was born who came to Love and save us..... paul taught the present evil and dark world we must be aware of and stand against even in His time.
ephesoians 6 " Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand"
from the beginning Gods people have been mistreated abel was killed for righteousness sake. the prophets then were stoned and killed by those they were sent to, Jesus was Killed by those He was sent to, the apostles were martyred by those they were sent to preach the gospel to, those who would not deny burned on crosses, skinned alive, boiled in vats of oil, tossed whole families into arenas with Hungry lions and tigers, bears and beasts, snake pits bonfires, linens soaked in oils crucified and set ablaze to light neros garden.......
in 2016, ( fox news. the ap, and every major news org, reported ) 90,000 christians martyred for thier faith. suicide bombings of christian churches, missionaries killed in war torn countries, caught up in civil wars, beheadings by terrorist muslims mass shootings in congo.....
the things in revelation are a slowly unfolding more of a semi perpetual thing, people wonder often why bad things happen and God doesnt step in and stop all the terrible things....the world is like it is, because God gave it to us and we brought the curses of sin and death to the earth. this world is winding down and the new things will come. if were here in the very end when Jesus comes, then well be caught up with Him, and the rest will be cast into the lake of fire. if the rapture is referring to that its true, but the pre trib rapture forces Jesus to not understand what hes talking about, its the safest thing to trust His view it will always be correct, revelation remember is His revelation His words.....it connects everywhere

That would be postrib rapture doctrine,which has no scriptural support
The GT IS Jacobs. Has nothing to do with the church.
The key is to know the purpose of the GT
