Most of his body has died. Are you under the belief that only a small part of his body will suffer through the tribulation? Will his whole body be resurrected to suffer through it, lol?
In this era, it is to the church that God the Father gave the divine calling to present, as living representatives, the manifold wisdom of God.
To put it another way: the saints specifically called to show the wisdom of God to the enemy and to anyone who opposes God.
"..and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory."
The pre-tribbers, at the culmination of the age, would have God turn tail and run and evacuate the saints from certain destruction. As if to say, "There is no way I can protect you from the Enemy in this time."
From where do you suppose the doctrine of a weak church, so unable to stand against an enemy that it needs rescuing, originated?
