The rapture is the translation of all the saved sinners caught up in the air by Christ before the 7 year tribulation
False...impossible. read Matt 24 (I posted it in post # 45).
Verse 29 “Immediately after the tribulation....verse 31 will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Immediately AFTER the tribulation (not before tribulation ).

Worth a repost. Matthew 24:29-31 is a clear, unanswerable refutation of the pre-trib rapture teaching from our Lord Himself.
Full disclosure: I spent many years mindlessly adhering to the pre-trib theory largely because it was an Article of Faith for my church (Baptist), respected theologians (Walvoord, Dallas Theological Seminary), and prophecy teachers (Hal Lindsey, etc.) When I finally decided to follow the instruction of my church to "let Scripture speak for itself", I realized that the pre-trib theory was not taught in the Bible.
NOTE: this is not to deny that a rapture will occur, but Scripture indicates that it will be part of the sequence of events known as the Second Coming of Christ, the "last day," the Day of the Lord, etc.
Who are the “elect”?
Hint; They are not the body of Christ.
The elect are Jews just as they were in Numbers 10:7 and Deut 30:4 and Isaiah 27:13, 45:4, 65:9,22.
