Scripture clearly tells us through Paul's letters that God has not appointed us unto wrath, but to obtain Salvation. 1Thess4:13-18 is a clear picture of a super natural event. You won't want to be an earthling a minute after it happens. And it happens BEFORE the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy, to end the Church Age and usher in the last week of sabbatical years in God's dealing with the Jews.
The rapture (harpazo in Greek, rapturo in Latin) will be a world-wide phenomenon. And those who proclaim as Peter did in Matthew 16:16 are the ones who will be whisked away. And then the Tribulation begins.
Paul’s letters totally demolish your bizzare theory.
Writing to the Thessalonians, he declares that the man of sin must come first, then we are resurrected at the END of the trib.
Then the wrath comes for 10 days, then after that the ultimate Yom Kippur war begins. That is when we return to Earth with Yeshua and his angels to crush the beast’s armies, and end the governments of men.
