And I can show you this in the Prophetic Book of Zechariah that Describes Jesus coming on the Day of the Lord He comes with His Saints and Angels to destroy this earth ---
so if the Rapture happens at the second Coming ---
How are the Saints coming with Him to due battle here on this earth -----there would be no saints in Heaven for Him to bring with him ---------and verse 5 says ------All The Holy Ones --it doesn't say Some of the Holy Ones -----It States ALL -----
all the holy ones [saints and angels] with Him.
5 And you shall flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal, and you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and the Lord my [Zechariah’s] [a]God shall come, and
all the holy ones [saints and angels] with Him.

Zechariah 14
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 Behold, a day of the Lord is coming when the spoil [taken from you] shall be divided [among the victors] in the midst of you.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle.
4 And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from the east to the west by a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south.
5 And you shall flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal, and you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and the Lord my [Zechariah’s] [a]God shall come, and
all the holy ones [saints and angels] with Him.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day that there shall not be light; the glorious
and bright ones [the heavenly bodies] shall be darkened.
7 But it shall be one continuous day, known to the Lord—not day and not night, but at evening time there shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern [Dead] Sea and half of them to the western [Mediterranean] Sea; in summer and in winter shall it be.
9
And the Lord shall be King over all the earth; in that day the Lord shall be one [in the recognition and worship of men] and His name one.
I say
This is ---- Timothy is visiting and giving encouragement here =====
verse 13 ---says Jesus brings
ALL HIS SAINTS with Him ---------it doesn't say SOME Saints
1 Thessalonians 3:6-13
Amplified Bible
6 But now that Timothy has come back to us from [his visit with] you, and has brought us good news of your [steadfast] faith and [the warmth of your] love, and [reported] that you always think kindly of us
and treasure your memories of us, longing to see us just as we long to see you,
7 for this reason, brothers and sisters, during all our distress and suffering we have been comforted
and greatly encouraged about you because of your faith [your unwavering trust in God—placing yourselves completely in His loving hands];
8 because now we
really live [in spite of everything], if you stand firm in the Lord.
9 For what [adequate] thanks can we offer to God for you in return for all the joy
and delight we have before our God on your account?
10 We continue to pray night and day most earnestly that we may see you face to face, and may complete whatever may be imperfect
and lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father Himself, and Jesus our Lord guide our steps to you [by removing the obstacles that stand in our way].
12 And may the Lord cause you to increase and excel
and overflow in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you;
13
so that He may strengthen and establish your hearts without blame in holiness in the sight of our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His [a]saints (God’s people).
I say ---Again If all believers are here during the tribulation how can Jesus Bring ALL SAINTS with Him ---
You think you have it all figured out but you really don't --------
You can dispute this all you want to ------you are free to believe what you want to believe ----as I am and there is much evidence that the Rapture happens First -----the Second Coming is another event -----

Diagram 5 "Rapture and Second Coming Comparison"
The nature of events at Christ's posttribulational coming (
Mat 24:31)
radically differs from that of the rapture (1Th 4:16-17).
RAPTURE 1. Christ gathers His own (
1Th 4:16-17)
Second Coming -Angels gather the elect (
Mat 24:31)
2. Resurrection is prominent (
1Th 4:15-16) ---------
Second Coming ---No mention of resurrection
3. Christ comes to reward (
1Co 3:11-17;
2Co 5:10)---
Second Coming -Christ comes to judge (
Mat 25:31-46)
4. Believers depart the earth (
1Th 4:15-17) --
Second Coming-Unbelievers are taken away (
Mat 24:37-41)
5. No talk of setting up the kingdom -
Second Coming -
Clear talk of Christ coming to set up a kingdom (Mat 25:31,34)
6. Believers receive glorified bodies (1Co 15:51-57)--Second Coming ------No one receives glorified bodies
7. Christ comes in the air (1Th 4:17) ---Second Coming-----Christ comes on the earth (Mat 25:31-32)
Additionally, parables in Matthew 13 confirm differences between the rapture and the final event of Christ's second coming
Rapture -----8. Believers are removed from among unbelievers (1Th 4:15-17)
Second Coming ------Tares (unblievers) taken out from among the wheat (believers) (Mat 13:30, 40)
Rapture -----9. Believers are removed from among unbelievers (1Th 4:17)
Second coming ------The bad fish (unbelievers) removed from among the good fish (Mat 25:31-32
18 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
