The church will be raptured before the tribulation. Although there are arguments for all three, the best evidence is for a pre-tribulational rapture. Most ministers and theologians are in agreement on this based on Biblical evidence and not preference. Obviously, no person in their right mind wants to go through the great tribulation, what with all the horrible stuff that is mention.

The Bible doesn't teach about a rapture or a tribulation. Many people do, but they do so by taking various verses out of context. When Jesus returns, the world will be destroyed (2 Peter 3:10) and all people will be judged (2 Corinthians 5:10). That's it.

The rapture is not a myth and those who think so will be grieving if they are still alive when it happens. Yes the Bible does talk about the rapture and tribulation. The first website has many verses from the bible to back it up.

It explains your question much better than what any of us might be able to do.

We are going to be raptured before the tribulations. If we are here for the tribulations, now that doesn't make sense

I believe the rapture will happen before the tribulation.

If you are a follower of Christ then you will be raptured before the tribulation then those who are left behind get another chance to repent

I believe that most Christians will not be raptured. The way I interpret Revelation, the rapture applies to 144000 Jewish Christians.
The rest of us will be stuck around for the tribulation.

There is no scriptural basis for believing in any type of rapture prior to the second coming of Christ, which will not be until after the tribulation.
