I do not believe in a pre-trib resurrection of the saints which the first three and one half years is not tribulation, but the last three and one half years.
And who do people think the tribulation is for but it is for the saints.
As long as repentance and salvation are offered to the world the resurrection will not happen.
And there is only 2 resurrections, one for the saints before the millennial reign of Christ, and one after the millennial reign of Christ.
Also when the resurrection happens no Gentile can be saved after that for Jesus said if they were hypocritical they cannot be caught up to be with Him, and will have their portion with the hypocrites, and once He has shut the door and you knock it is too late.
And none of the world can be caught up to be with Jesus for if they did not make it in the first resurrection then that means that they rejected the truth so they missed out, which the Gospel shall be preached in to all the world as a witness unto all nations and then comes the end, which then comes the end when the Son shall have delivered up the kingdom to the Father when He shall have put down all authority, power, and rule.
Once the resurrection happens no Gentile can be saved after that but will go to the second resurrection.
And once the resurrection happens Jesus is right on the world to put them down, but if it is pre 7 years period why do they continue for 7 more years, and especially if nobody can be saved after that so it would make no sense for them to continue on for 7 years.
Also if it is pre 7 years period then there would be no tribulation saints for no Gentile can be saved after that, and the Gentiles have salvation until the fulness of them come in which is when they take the mark of the beast which is at the mid point of the 7 years period.
Which is why Paul said let no person deceive you by any means for the gathering of the saints shall not happen until there is a falling away first which is the condition of the world in response to the Gospel which for the first three and one half years they hindered the Gospel and religion was about the new age movement and their interpretation of the Bible based on the occult, and evolution, and anything taught contrary was not tolerated and a hate crime for they say it is not truth, and they want peace.
And the man of sin claims to be God which will happen at the mid point of the 7 years period, which at the end of the first three and one half years is when the falling away shall happen, which the transgressors shall come to the full, then a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark sentences shall stand up, and his power shall be mighty but not by his own power, and by peace shall destroy many, and shall destroy the mighty and holy people physically.
So Paul said the resurrection shall not happen until after the man of sin claims to be God which happens at the mid point of the 7 years period.
But then the beast makes war against the saints and prevails against them, and they shall be given in to his hands for three and one half years, and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people all things shall be finished.
But Israel is protected for the 7 years period from physical attack for God has the plan to restore the kingdom unto them, and turn the Jews to the truth that Jesus is their Savior by 2 witnesses at the last three and one half years which the beast cannot harm them and they take down anyone that tries to hinder them preaching.
So if the beast makes war against the saints for the last three and one half years then it has to include Gentile saints, which is why it is the greatest persecution ever in the history of the truth for it is on a world wide scale.
And all the Jews are back on their land by way of the peace treaty in the Middle East which God said that He would leave none of the Jews in the nations anymore, and at the beginning of the last three and one half years the 2 witnesses only started preaching to the Jews to turn them to the truth.
So when the persecution starts it will be on a world wide scale and Gentile saints are persecuted, but if it is pre 7 years resurrection there would not be any Gentile saints.
Also some people think the wrath of God is in the 7 years period but it is not.
For the first three and one half years repentance and salvation is available to the world so the wrath of God would not be there.
And when the beast claims to be God he has power to continue for the last three and one half years, and has power over all nations, kindreds, and tongues, and can only have that power if God allows him, and God gives the kingdom to whoever He wants which this time He is allowing the world to rebel against Him, so the wrath of God would not be there if God is allowing the beast to rule.
So the wrath of God is not in the 7 years period, and the 6 trumpets is not the wrath of God but warnings to the world to turn to God as He gives them a chance to do right for that is how He operates like He gave Sodom and Gomorrah a chance to see if there was any that were righteous.
An example is WW1, did not turn to God, set up League of Nations, WW2, did not turn to God, set up United Nations, and that pattern will continue until the 6th trumpet the religion of Islam against the world which one third of the world perishes which is mostly in the Arab nations as they pluck them up by the roots, which describes nuclear weapons, and is so terrible of a war that the 10 horn kingdom failed at obtaining peace but they do not turn to God but turn to the New Age Christ as the solution to have peace on earth.
Which after the 6th trumpet God said they still will not repent of their evil deeds, and turn to Him, but keep trying to achieve peace on earth by their own power, which they believe in evolution, and they are still evolving, and do not acknowledge a personal God, but honor the God of forces, or the power of nature as their higher power the evolutionary process, so God gives them the man of sin, New Age Christ to rule over them.
Also if people use the reasoning that God would not allow the saints to go through the tribulation then He would of not allowed any saint to be persecuted by the world for the history of the Church, but we know that they are persecuted, and all that will live godly shall be persecuted.
But the tribulation is not for the world but for the saints and it is only for the last three and one half years.
Also Paul said that when they shall say Peace and safety which is when the nations governments come together and try to establish peace on earth the saints shall not be deceived by that but know it is not of God.
Which Jesus said that He will deliver all the saints from the temptation that shall come upon the whole world to try all them that dwell on earth, which there can only be one temptation that can tempt all people of the world at the same time which is when the world says Peace and safety for will they get with God, stay with God, or follow the world.
Which God said multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision, for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision for it is a deciding point for the world for which direction they will go.
Which when the nations come together and say Peace and safety it will start the 7 years period which Paul said the saints will not be deceived by that, and Jesus will deliver the saints from that temptation.
So the saints are on earth and the resurrection has not happened when the 7 years period starts.
