The Dead in Christ Shall Rise First, At the Last Day

"Are you pre-trib or post-trib?" That is a common topic amongst Christians. Bible believers know that the event is on the horizon, but what does the Bible teach about the timing?  Jesus said that He will raise the dead in Christ on the last day, and we know the dead in Christ are raised first, then the rapture occurs. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 also warns that "man of sin" antichrist shall be revealed before this event.  This all points to a post tribulation rapture. God can protect His children no matter what is happening on earth. We need to trust in Christ alone, not a series of events, to save us from any earthly suffering.
