The Tribulation is called specifically “the time of Jacob’s Trouble,” (Israel) and it is important that we have this clearly in mind. IT IS NOT THE TIME OF THE CHURCH’S TROUBLE.
....If Christians, wile they study the scriptures, would always ‘distinguish carefully’ what prophecy has to say concerning the Jew, the gentile, and the church of God, it would not be difficult to clear up this entire subject. ...It is by confusing these three distinct classes that many unscriptural theories are foisted on the people of God.
There are in fact two distinct stages of our Lord’s return presented in the New Testament... He is coming ‘FOR’ His saints; this is the rapture that precedes the great tribulation... And He is going to be manifested ‘WITH’ all His saints when he descends to exercise judgement on those who have persisted in rejecting His grace;.. this is when He will establish His glorious kingdom to reign in righteousness over this world.
In other words the rapture is always ‘distinguished’ from the coming of the Son of man....It is the Lord’s coming ‘for’ His saints whereas the other is His coming ‘with’ them.
“There is no Jew, there is no gentile” - or do you disagree with that?
The book of the Apocalypse is written to the christ-believing Jewish sect.
The “leave behind” rapture is not even written about in scripture.
