Pre-Trib Rapture Arguments

I read the following this morning and it goes along with what we were discussing:

Nahum 1:2. God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies.

7.The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.

The "Day of Trouble" is either the Lord's Day, the millennium and/or the day He returns, at the 7th trump. Either way the key words are that "He reserveth wrath for His enemies" and "He knoweth them that trust in Him".

I love knowing that........Ping

"...and He reserveth wrath for His enemies."

Puts a whole new light on the term, "You're either with us or your with our enemy", doesn't it?

I’m disturbed that pretrib rapture promoters like to chop contexts in half. For example, they read pretrib into I Thess. 4:17 and ignore that it’s tied to the posttrib “destruction” of the wicked in I Thess. 5:3. And they read pretrib into I Cor. 15:52 and ignore that it’s tied to vs. 54 (a quote of Isa. 25:8 which all agree is Israel’s posttrib resurrection).

I've stated before that I honestly don't know THE way the end is going to happen. I do know the outcome for me. The problem is when you make a statement as you did, it sounds to me that you think that it's your way or the highway. Is that inference correct? Do you KNOW how the end is going to be? Or are you like the rest of us who do the best we can and read the Scriptures the way they are written and not put into them things that aren't really there?

How do you tie in post tribulation destruction into, 1Thessolonians 5:3; "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."?

I just don't see how you get that from that verse. I'm not saying that it doesn't I just don't see it. Please explain.
