Scripture to support that please.
Again scripture to support. As it sounds like your espousing a pre trib rapture event (and of who), then a post trib resurrection of saints? Bible says that we who are alive shall not prevent those that died, and the dead will not prevent us and that we are all gathered at the, basic, same time.As the dead are raised first then we all meet Him in the air and corruption puts on incorruption.
Supporting scripture????
Well, there are plenty of scripture.
If you consider how the end of the great tribulation will be like; the world's armies marching unto Jerusalem, it can hardly be like a thief in the night. Zechariah 14:1-5 Not to mention that during the great tribulation, the beast is waging war on the saints to kill with the sword and by hunger because the saints will not take the mark of the beast to buy & sell to survive in that New World Order just to eat,
Revelation 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Then how can Jesus come as a thief in the night when all His warnings are for the saints in how they are living now like as in the days of Noah where the saints would be tempted to go back to their house to get their treasures or whatever as if they can take it with them for why Jesus reminded believers of Lot's wife.
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Then you have this carefree picture of saints for why He is warning them to be ready or else.
Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Really think Jesus is painting a picture for how saints will be living and caught unaware in a time before He comes as the King of kings at the end of the great tribulation??
Look at the excuses of the saints for preferring their lives on earth than to go to the King's Supper above.
Luke 14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
That's the reason why Jesus referred to Lot's wife in Luke 17:32 because saints can be ensnared by the cares of this life to love it more than to leave it. No saint can be ensnared by the cares of this life at the end of the great tribulation.
That is why Jesus 's warning applies to us now in the latter days we are living in when the falling away from the faith is to happen first for why He will come to judge His House first as the Bridegroom before He comes at the end of the great tribulation as the King of kings.
1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
If you can explain that picture Jesus is painting as still applying to the end of that great tribulation, be my guest, but I do not see how it can apply at His coming as the King of kings.
