If the Rapture happens at the end of the Tribulation as you say, the Tribulation saints meet Jesus in the air, and they then return to earth, then what happens???
>>Since I’m not Amill. I believe, per Rev. 20, they rule and reign with Christ on this earth for a thousand years.
As to those who survive the events at the end, who are not the elect (the elect are gathered at the 2nd coming, Matt. 24:29-31), and are not therefore in the first resurrection, who have not taken the mark of the beast, have to be the ones 20:8 refers to, “the nations which are in the four corners of the earth,” 20:8.
But how is this supposed to be an argument for a pretribulation rapture? I don’t get it.
There are various elect, angels, the OT righteous, NT pre-Pentecost believers, the church, tribulation saints, and those who become believers and live through and after the tribulation.
These last are the ones who have offspring who are not believers (not elect), and their offspring, ect. for the thousand years that come to comprise Satan’s army for the Rev. 20:8 revolt.
Then the GWT judgment.
