Barley can be freed from the husks by just waving the sheafs in the air, but wheat is a tougher act which requires crushing the grain from the husks. The Barley harvest came before the wheat harvest.
It appears to this old man that after many run-ins with preterists and post trib folks, they do not believe 1 John 3:9, that it is GOD abiding in the spirit of the born again, and if His Life is in you that part of you is not sinning and cannot sin for His Life abides therein. There is zero reason to drag such a spirit through the crushing and every reason to believe He is coming for THAT to which He will give a new body and behavior mechanism as He takes HIS out from the wrath to come.
Folks read the Revelation and see a white horse traveler coming with a bow in his hand with no arrows and don't know what to make of this arrival of the first horse when perhaps billions will die in his arrival. That many deaths accompanying his arrival sounds like the beginning of tribulation to me. Deny the pre-trib Rapturing away of the Body of Christ results in these waiting for the revealing of the antichrist not waiting for the coming to be gathered up and taken to the Father's House where the Bema Seat of Christ will happen while tribulation is growing worse upon the Earth.

It appears to me that if a person wants a pre-trib rapture; verses can be found to prove it.
Likewise...
...if a person wants a mid-trib rapture; verses can be found to prove it.
Or......if a person wants a post-trib rapture; verses can be found to prove it.
Or......if a person wants no rapture at all; verses can be found to prove it as well.
