I can’t fathom why anyone would believe in the “pretrib rapture”. Paul clearly states: the last trump shall sound...
“ According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
“After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
“ Therefore encourage one another with these words.
I Thess
When the last trumpet sounds Jesus sets foot on Earth, but
when the rapture happens Jesus does not set foot on Earth rather he meets those dead and alive in Him in the clouds.
But I also don’t think the rapture will happen anytime soon.
