Cute way you lumped “resurrection/rapture” together. To those who insist on injecting meaning into a text I suppose it works. To those of us who “search the scriptures daily to see if these things be true” not so much. Paul was pretty clear in his writings that we will “at rest” with him through the tribulation and the Lord’s return to destroy the nations.
I wasn’t being “cute” or devious when I said resurrection/rapture. One immediately precedes the other. There can be no rapture of the redeemed without there first being a resurrection of the same. I thought all pretribs believed this - I was once a a very studious pretribber myself, when I believed this.
Wheresoever the resurrection is, there will the rapture be also.
If tying the rapture to the resurrection upsets you, it must upset you more to see Paul in 1 Cor. 15:54b (quoting Isa. 25:7-9, in context) tying said resurrection/rapture to the revelation (unveiling) - so often in the NT referring to the post-trib event.
