You were saying ...

Have you considered the verses in the NT that indicate the rapture happens after the tribulation at Christ’s 2nd coming?

The only groups that want to say that are the ones who negate Israel's position in the coming one-world government of the Messiah of Israel on this earth.

That's the "position" of those who say that Israel is of no prophetic significance any longer, in the plan of God (any more than any other country in the world).

That's one good reason for staying as far away from that as possible... :-) ... besides the fact that it's not true... LOL ...

You can get some good information at the Rapture Caucus thread ...

“The only groups that want to say that are the ones who negate Israel’s position in the coming one-world government of the Messiah of Israel on this earth.”

I have to say that whatever group holds this or that theological opinion does not bear upon my thinking. What is of supreme importance is what the Scriptures say regarding the matter.

I would never agree that Israel is of no prophetic significance - Romans makes it abundantly clear that they are.

What I would say is that I have found an abundance of Scriptural support in the NT for the idea that the Church passes through the great tribulation.

Rev 7:

“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;... And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. “
