The dividing line is not when we are pulled out of the tribulation, for it is at the begining of the Great Tribulation, Day of the Lords Wrath etc.

Pre trib is based on how God would not put his children through his wrath, Mid trib is based on that it is not going to be a cake walk we will experience Tribulation and pre Wrath is that God will remove us just before the period of His Wrath.

So, pre trib is correct and is actually Pre Wrath once you know the difference between Tribulation and “The Great Tribulation” and the Mid Tribbers are also right as we will obviously see Tribulation, just not “The Great Tribulation”.

All three are correct, once you stop blending Tribulation and The Great Tribulation into one time line. They are two distinct events that are sequential. That is the begining of the change of viewpoint that will open the book much wider.

You must understand this to understand the seals/trumpets/bowls relationship.

Were you ever pre-trib rapture (7year) in your understanding? My personal progression went from amil to pre-trib to pre-wrath back to pre-trib.

Thanks for writing this up. I think I have to study on this a little more to understand the difference between tribulation and the Greate Tribulation. It certainly is an interesting perspective. I will have to reread your post on the seals and trumpets to get a better understanding of this point.

Thanks
