The Rapture & Second Coming of Jesus The Christ

the post tribulation view which I believe teaches that The Rapture and Second Coming of Jesus are simultaneous events. They are different but happen at the same time Although it is not directly stated, but in the pre- and mid-tribulation rapture views, Christ must return a third time, at the end of the Tribulation period. To the best of my knowledge a third coming of Jesus is nowhere taught or referenced to in scripture. The following scriptures will establish strong support for this view. The belief is that God's Elect from all ages dead and alive will be translated from mortal bodies into immortal glorified bodies at the Second Coming of The Christ as stated in (I Cor. 15:51-54) and that this will be at the end of the age. As stated in (I Thess. 4:16-17)

These events, I believe, will come at the conclusion of what is referred to as the 70th Week of Daniel, the final seven years of this present age which will be in two 3.5 year periods referred to as the Tribulation and The Great Tribulation. This view was held by some of the early Church Fathers and has been held by some Christians since that time. The doctrine of the Post-Tribulation Rapture is today being embraced by a growing number of evangelical Christians.

This teaching stresses the importance of Christians to be prepared to be  faithful witnesses under great persecution as warned by Jesus in
(Matt. 24:21 and prophesied by John in (Rev. 13:10-17). It is important to understand that this Tribulation period is from The Anti Christ and is Not The Wrath of God upon the world that believers will escape as promised in (Rom. 5:8-9) God’s Wrath is for the children of dis-obedient. (Col. 3:6).Those that go through Tribulation will stand before the Throne of God and will serve Him in His Temple (Rev. 7:9-15).Post tribulation Note: n Matt. 24:29-31 Jesus is quoted as saying that the Rapture would occur after the Great Tribulation of the church
