Doctrine in Christian theology

The post tribulation rapture doctrine is the belief in a combined resurrection and rapture, or gathering of the saints, after the Great Tribulation. This differs from the pre tribulation rapture theory which claims the rapture will happen before the Great Tribulation; the mid tribulation rapture theory which claims the rapture will happen during the middle of the Great Tribulation, usually during the Abomination of Desolation mentioned in the Olivet Discourse; the pre wrath rapture theory which claims the rapture will happen during the seventh trumpet of Revelation, but before the bowl judgments; and the partial rapture theory, which, although unpopular, claims there will be multiple raptures during the Great Tribulation.

The post tribulation gathering of the saints position believes that there is a resurrection of both dead and living believers in Jesus Christ at the end of the age (or the "end time"). Post tribulationists believe that Christians will remain on the Earth throughout the 7 year tribulation period which includes the last three and a half years, which some call the "Great Tribulation". The distinguishing feature of the post tribulation view is that it believes the gathering of the saints will occur after a 7 year tribulation period and not before as in the pre tribulation view. However, there are some post tribulation proponents who do not hold to a 7 year tribulation period, but believe there are only 3 1/2 years left of the 70th week which Jesus calls the "great tribulation" in Matthew 24. The "great tribulation" period starts with the appearing of the abomination of desolation (Matthew ) and ends at the Battle of Armageddon (Revelation ). Believers in Jesus Christ will be taken up (or raptured) to meet Christ in the air at the Second Coming of Christ immediately after the Great Tribulation, just before the Battle of Armageddon and then return with him as Christ descends to the Earth, to usher in the Millennium—the 1,000 year reign of Christ on Earth. This is usually understood as being in line with historic premillennialism. Evidence for a post tribulation rapture includes Revelation , which calls the resurrection of tribulation martyrs after the Second Advent in the previous chapter "the first resurrection" in verse 5. The resurrection of believers at the gathering of the saints is "the first resurrection" and therefore the gathering of the saints must be after the Great Tribulation. Additional evidence for this view lies in Matthew 24, when Christ gives what appears to be a chronological sequencing of events.
