The Seventh Trumpet Rapture

Most Evangelical Christians are taught that Jesus will return secretly and invisibly to gather the Church in the Rapture before the Tribulation. The problem with this theory is that a secret return and invisible rapture cannot be found anywhere in the Bible. In fact neither can a Pre-Tribulation rapture and return be found at all. There is not a single verse of Scripture which states that this will happen. None.

What any student of the Scriptures can find, clearly stated, and confirmed throughout the Bible is a Rapture, as the Apostle Paul said, at the last trumpet, the Seventh Trumpet of Revelation. Examine the Scriptures for yourself, without any convoluted “explanation” of how they do not really mean what they obviously state.

Behold, I tell you a mystery, we will not all sleep but we will all be changed, in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. I Corinthians 15:51-52

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. I Thessalonians 4:16-17

In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished as He preached to His servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7

But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. Matthew 24: 31

Summary of the Seventh Trumpet Rapture doctrine

First of all, to avoid being mischaracterized from the start, the Seventh Trumpet Rapture presented here is pre-millennial, as well as pre-wrath and pre-permanent return of Christ. The Scriptures teach a distinct difference between the appearing of Christ on the clouds to gather the Church and His return to earth to redeem Israel, but unlike pre-tribulation doctrine, these two events are not separated by the seven year Tribulation period, and His cloud appearance will certainly be seen by everyone on the planet. There is no secret coming of Christ taught anywhere in the Scriptures, in fact we are warned against that. The Seven Bowls of God’s wrath should not be considered part of the Tribulation, but are the time of God’s wrath and judgment, while the wedding of the Lamb takes place in heaven. This will be followed by the coming of the Lord Jesus on a white horse with His saints to judge the nations, rescue Israel, and set up His Kingdom in Jerusalem.

Another distinct Rapture/Second Coming teaching is mid-tribulation, which this is not. This assumes that the Rapture will occur sometime around the middle of the seven-year Tribulation period. The Seventh Trumpet Rapture is completely post-tribulation.

The Seventh Trumpet Rapture is similar to the pre-wrath rapture position recently championed by a few evangelicals, but with at least one major difference:
