Once can find no direct teachings by the Apostles about the "Rapture".
Christians never believed or taught about any pre-trial "rapture" before 1830. But there is nothing about a 7 year tribulation in Scripture and was never taught by the Apostles hence not in Tradition either.

Ephraim the Syrian said, in 373 AD, “For all the saints and the Elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins.”
Quite a few early Church Fathers before Origen taught and premised a pretrib rapture. Go Figure.
