Yes. I believe that Jesus must come for the Church before the antichrist can come into power and be "revealed" - the Word says "he who hinders will hinder until he be taken out of the way." The Church is a hindering force to satan's plans until the rapture of the Church (who is not appointed to wrath). When the Church leaves by way of the rapture there is no more hindrance to satans plans.

No I do not. I believe that when we see Christ the Final Judgment will be upon us. Thus the rapture and the judgment take place simulataneously.
Most of what you will read about the end times are pre-millennial views: the view that Christ's return will usher in a future millennium of Messianic rule mentioned in the book of Revelation before the final judgment. The believers of this doctrine also hold to the notion of a Rapture of the righteous beforehand.
Others hold that there will be only one second coming of Christ, at the time of the Final Judgment.
Then there are mixtures involving the views of the seven year tribulation and whether it is happening now, will happen later, etc.
These doctrines all fall under the general heading known as the study of end times, or eschatology.
For explanations of the various eschatological beliefs see: http://www.religioustolerance.org/millenni.htm

Yes, I believe that He will. A close study of events points to this. The tribulation is for Israel, as well as the rest of the world that has rejected Jesus as Messiah.

I let you know right after it... All I know is that My God is nothing like the ones the preachers and priests talk about..The Jesus I know dosen't care if your Gay, or if your a sinner, He never condemed anyone and his best buddies were some pretty bad people for their time.. My Jesus Knows about forgivness, the battels with temptaion, and love. He is with me always even when I turn my back on Him. My Jesus has His named slandered everyday in churches and on tv. My God Is your God, But you better know it and soon. He is called by many names but very few know Him truley. Not those Pat Robertsons and Bennie Hins... I think he is probably a little ticked at the pope to.. I mean look at all that money that could be feeding the world.. That is the Christ I know.. Yep, some people are gonna have alot of explaining to do. My God dos not care if I pray in my garage or in a cathedral though I thinks he likes it better when I do it in Private. Jesus even told me that in the Bible Just a few weeks ago. He told me about how to do Good without letting others know. Ya see man has really screwed up the Jesus thing real Good, so instead of worrying about if He is coming I'd be more worried about getting to know Him

No, I do not believe that Jesus will come before the tribulation. But I do believe that Jesus will eventually come!

Absolutely. Once the Bride of Christ is taken out there is nothing to hold back tribulation and the man of sin. Those who remain because they had no oil in their lamps, and decline the economic and ecumenical order, will suffer death for their faith.

No, He will come after the tribulation and then gather his elect.
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
