If The Rapture Will Happen After The Tribulation

Why would Jesus say this? Cause going through the tribulation can't be considered as an escape.

Jesus himself said that he would return when some of those that he was speaking to would still be alive.

Still. Waiting.

@walabby The rapture and the second coming is two different events.

@Thandeka So? Neither have happened. I wonder how many 2000 years old people are still wandering around Jerusalem?

@walabby He said he'll come when the gospel reaches the ends of the Earth among other things. Has it reached the ends of the Earth just yet?

@Thandeka Well there's..
“When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes” (Matt. 10:23).
...and...
In Mark 9:1 and its parallels (Matt. 16:28; Luke 9:27), Jesus promises that “there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

@walabby According to scripture Israel will be the last to accept that Jesus is Messiah. Of course they're some Israelites who are preaching the gospel right now but according to them the percentage is very small.
