Matthew 24:29-31 is very clear.

It leaves no room for any secret rapture. The event therein described will be clearly observed in terror by those not gathered.

Praying that God would open the eyes and ears of His children in this regard (no secret rapture), would indeed bring about a great revival, yes?

Having my ears tickled would drive me batty. So the rest of this post is for pre-tribbers...

Personally I look at it logically, and recently realized with Occam’s Razor (after trying to figure out the bogus theories of the rapture). The dead in Christ rise first. Which is what unnerved the Thessalonians when someone said the resurrection had already occurred. So I always quote 2 Thessalonians 2:3&4 and Rev 20:4-6.

The beast declares himself God to the world before the resurrection and in Revelation, there are two resurrections. One for those who die for their faith during the tribulation, “This is the first resurrection,” and one at the end of the universe, “The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed.” The rest of the dead include all others who died before and after the tribulation.

Sweet, simple, and the Truth which cuts like a two-edged sword. Maranatha!
