the thing is that the pretrib concept doesn’t work.

It relies on twisting what the Bible says. Jesus says that we will suffer for following Him. Also very clearly, the pre-trib concept that Noahides take of Jesus then being the ruler over Jews on earth leads to the error of a double new covenant. Some posters here even insiste that there were two churches - the Gentile and the Jewish and that Jesus is the savior only for the Jews or only for the gentiles

I think the rapture is not a “timing” thing but an event that will occur at anytime around the last 7-10 years of the “end of this present age.” The references Christ makes of Noah being shut up into the ark and of righteous Lot being sent out of the City prior to God’s hammer fall and of Christ’s exhortations to watch and be ready as well as his question ,”Nevertheless, When the Son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” presage a coming time when the righteous and the dead in Christ will be taken off the Earth before the worst of the worst happens. Now it looks pretribulational but that could include the first 3.5 years that the Beast and the two witnesses have their conflicts with each other while the blessed suffer immense persecutions and martyrdoms just prior to God throwing the hammer down.
