I think you can answer this question. How do Post-Tribbers reconcile these two events that happen at the same time. I am saying here to look at the chart (found in most apologetic style Pre Trib books), and assume they both occur at the same time, which is what the Post-Trib position holds, and explain why they seem to be overly dissimilar. The first point under the Rapture column is contrasted with the first point under the 2nd Coming column, and so on.After the 1000 year Reign of Christ on Earth, (which occurs after the first Resurrection, which is the Resurrection of believers) a new heaven and new earth comes down out of the Father and the old passes away. Thus, Christ's Word will be fulfilled.
A return question. We know the Resurrection occurs at the Second Coming. Where is Scripture is it ever stated that there are TWO Returns of the Lord to earth? For that is what the "rapture doctrine" is stating.
Jesus returns, then leaves, then returns again. That would be a "third coming".
Before you reconcile these columns that happen at the same time, remember that you have to have believers in their natural bodies at the end of the 70th week of Daniel in order to populate the Millennium.
And, If you say that Christ comes for believers at the Rapture and then continues down to come for those believers at the 2nd Coming, that is two comings, or one coming with two phases. Good luck
