Pre or Post tribulation rapture?
Matthew 24 is used to prove that Christians will be raptured after the tribulation.
However, verses 29 and 30 show that this Rapture that takes place is public because every eye sees him.
If it’s hidden or in secret, Jesus says, “Believe it not,” which is found at verse 26.
However, Paul at 1 Corinthians 15:51 mentions that it is a mystery when he mentions the Rapture.
So it’s hidden, in secret, and hasn’t been revealed before.
Is there a contradiction or are there two different raptures?
1 Corinthians 15:23 mentions that the Rapture has different orders.
Answer: There are two: they that are Christ’s at his coming. That’s the Christians. We get raptured.
In verse 24, “then cometh the end. The tribulation Rapture is after that.
So, the Christian Rapture is before the tribulation and the tribulation Rapture is after, which is not part of the
Christian church.
