I've never completely settled on the notion of pre tribulation rapture, and I haven't known why until I started to put pieces together from Scripture. I'm not going to make any claims like "This is it!", but this is the way it seems to me. It seems that there would be a mid trib rapture, to me.
In 1 Cor 15:52 and in 1 Thes 4:16, Paul speaks of believers being changed at the blinking of an eye and caught up or seized up into the air at the last trumpet. Isn't this last trumpet the last of the 7 trumpets being blown in the book of Revelation, Rev 11:15? Aren't there 7 seals broken (Rev 6-8) and 7 trumpets blown (Rev 8-11) before the dead are raised for judgment, and the servants, prophets and saints are rewarded (Rev 11:18)? Doesn't this imply the 7th trumpet follows all the broken seals and previous trumpets? Part of the tribulation, right? So if part of the tribulation is before Rev 11:15 and part of it is after Rev 12 (the 7 Bowl Judgments), it must be a mid tribulation rapture.
I'm very interested in this mid tribulation theory because it makes sense to me. Any comments or suggestions?
