Yeah, again these mid-tribbers haven’t read Revelation or Thessalonians very closely.
Before you’re done with Act One, Scene Four, 1/4 of the world is killed (Rev 6:8). Before you’re done with Act Two, Scene Six, another 1/3 of the earth is wiped out (Rev 9:15). That’s half the world dead during the first 3 1/2 years.
The mid-tribbers fail to grasp that our current trials and tribulations are for our redemptive benefit to build and perfect our faith (James 1:3-4; Peter 1:7). These horrific things are not for redemption, they are judgment on a world that has rejected God’s free gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Daniel 9:24).
I too was confused and puzzled about all of this in my early Christian life, through wrong teaching, etc., until I finally gave up one day and said to God, “I’m going to completely erase the blackboard and let You through the Holy Spirit, teach me what You wrote here”. It is now as plain as day to me but only because I let the Lord through the Holy Spirit teach me. That is really the way we should read the whole Bible. We’ll never get it using our carnal minds because carnal man will never discern the things of God’s spirit.
God bless.

Yes I personally believe pre trib is the answer- the whole ‘wrath of the Lamb’ being the reason why
