THE RAPTURE IS PRE-TRIBULATION OF THE WORLD, BUT NOT PRE-TRIBULATION OF ISRAEL......

The following Scriptures show us that God's Great Tribulation judgment upon Israel occurs BEFORE the resurrection /rapture happens.  AFTER the resurrection/rapture of the Body of Christ Church, God's Great Tribulation  judgment THEN  BEGINS upon the whole world. Therefore, when God's Great Tribulation judgment BEGINS upon Israel, which is the Gog-Magog War, it is our VISUAL SIGN that our resurrection/rapture is about to happen,  BEFORE His Great Tribulation judgment THEN BEGINS upon the whole world :

The chronological order of events given in the prophecy of  Daniel 12:1-2 tell us that the  Great Tribulation upon THE NATION OF ISRAEL is followed  by the resurrection/rapture according to :

Daniel 12:1-2

"......and there shall be A TIME OF TROUBLE ( great tribulation ) , such as never was since there was A NATION ( the nation of Israel ) even to that same time, and AT THAT TIME thy people shall BE DELIVERED ( resurrected/raptured ), every one that shall  be found WRITTEN IN THE BOOK ( The Book of Life ).  And MANY OF THEM that sleep in the dust of the earth SHALL AWAKE ( shall resurrect ), some TO EVERLASTING LIFE..."

In His Olivet Discourse Jesus also confirms the chronological order of events in Israel to be EXACTLY THE SAME as revealed in Daniel 12:1-2 according to Matthew 24:21-22.

JESUS DESCRIBES THE GOG-MAGOG WAR UPON ISRAEL WHICH IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECY OF EZEKIEL 38:16:

Matthew 24:21-22 

"For then shall  be GREAT TRIBULATION such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  And except THOSE DAYS , ( ie. the days of the Gog-Magog War) should BE SHORTENED there should be no ( Hebrew ) flesh saved ."( the 'woman in the wilderness' is saved in the flesh for the next 1,260 days )

JESUS THEN DESCRIBES THE RESURRECTION /RAPTURE WHICH HAPPENS "IMMEDIATELY AFTER" THE GOG-MAGOG WAR:

Matthew 24:29-31 

"Immediately 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; And THEN SHALL APPEAR the sign of the Son of Man in heaven ( in  the sky )....And they SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN  coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet ( the trumpet of God ) , and THEY SHALL GATHER TOGETHER (  resurrect/rapture ) HIS ELECT (  His Body of Christ Church ) from the four winds, and from one end of  heaven  to the other."

SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT :

"IMMEDIATELY AFTER" the Gog-Magog War which is God's SHORTENED Great Tribulation judgment upon the Nation of Israel BEFORE THE RAPTURE and is also  the VISUAL SIGN BEFORE OUR EYES that our resurrection/rapture will NOW HAPPEN ,  Jesus will descend from heaven with the trumpet of God to resurrect/rapture " HIS ELECT " Body of Christ Church BEFORE His Great Tribulation judgment BEGINS upon the whole world.  

According to Your Holy Word, come Lord Jesus !
