Best evidence for a Pre-tribulation rapture: Revelation 4and 5. The 24 elders are the 24 Representatives of the Church. How do we know this? Because Of the 3 times the Throne of God is talked about, Only once are the elders ever mentioned. And that is in Revelation. which means they were add and That they are Christians. Which means a Pre-trib Rapture because Chapter 6 is the seals and Chapters 4 and 5 are before seal 1.
Also, Mid-trib, Post-trib, Pre-wrath, and Partail trib all have problems with them. Mid-trib and Post-trib all give us an exact date for the rapture. Pre-wrath would mean that the blessed hope Jesus promised us would be a Blasted hope, Not a Blessed hope. We have to sit through war, Meteors, Fire, Demonic armies and Locusts and We can pass that off as Blessed Hope? That seems kinda wrong. And Partial Trib is based on Good works.
