It is my earnest desire to teach and educate believers in Jesus Christ the Holy Scriptures and the methods to do such as instructed by the prophets and apostles.
Isa 28:9 Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine? Those weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts.
Isa 28:10 For precept must be on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little;
No commentary of man can be fully trusted to explain the Word of God.
Jer 17:5 So says Jehovah, Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart departs from Jehovah.
Only the rest of the Bible and the Holy Spirit are needed to understand doctrine and gain knowledge of the Word of God.
The topic of this study is the very first doctrine that I studied on my own, assisted by the Holy Spirit of God of course. I read through a whole physical Holy Bible made from paper and used a Strong’s Concordance looking through every verse to find a pretribulation rapture and I never found it, only these scriptures I am going to show you today which would be categorized as post tribulation. The pretribulation rapture theory has done more to sway Christians away from learning the whole Bible than any other false doctrine. Any other doctrine, mystery or topic may be understood as well through this technique I’m going to teach you which connects scripture to other scriptures in a precise manner like putting together a puzzle which demand every piece be put in it’s precise location; even a similar piece will not fit.
The first step for studying the scriptures is to acquire a Holy Bible and complete concordance which lists every word, every time and every location it is used in the scriptures; Hebrew for the Old Testament and Greek for the New Testament. Strong’s concordance for the Old King James Bible is the most common available to my knowledge. The best, fastest and easiest way to research the scriptures is with a complete Bible program software which has multiple Bibles and dictionaries for pc’s, laptops, phone, etc. I prefer the King James with the concordance number corresponding to the Hebrew or Greek word adjacent to the English word which makes things a lot quicker which you will appreciate in these last days.
The computer Bible program software I prefer to use for my extensive studies is Esword which is free to all with a great number of resources. There are other free Bible Software programs such as The Word which does not require Windows Media Player and Bible Hub is another which is viewable only online. Windows Media Player must be activated to download and use Esword. An internet connection is required to download the program and its multiple resources unless you know someone who has already downloaded it to a usb drive or such to transfer to your computer. Esword may have its own tutorial but I am going to show you how I use this software program. I arrange the Esword screen with the scriptures on top and the dictionaries on the bottom with commentaries on a side pullout tab. Commentaries should never be used to form a doctrine but only to point to other scriptures so be careful as you will read incorrect opinions and theories from men who wrote them. One of the most important features of Esword is the search or lookup application which is on the top toolbar just under options. It is a small binocular icon to click on and it will list every word or a combination of words when you again click on the binocular icon or enter. If you enter the word rapture you will get 0 results. Enter caught up and you will get nine results but only five for the Greek word harpazo G726 which is the one interpreted for rapture in the New Testament of the King James Bible.
Act_8:39 AndG1161 whenG3753 they were come upG305 out ofG1537 theG3588 water,G5204 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 caught awayG726 Philip,G5376 thatG2532 theG3588 eunuchG2135 (G3756) sawG1492 himG846 no more:G3765 and(G1063) he wentG4198 on hisG848 wayG3598 rejoicing.G5463
2Co_12:2 I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 ago, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the body,G4983 I cannot tell;G1492 G3756 or whetherG1535 outG1622 of theG3588 body,G4983 I cannot tell:G1492 G3756 GodG2316 knoweth;)G1492 such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heaven.G3772
2Co_12:4 How thatG3754 he was caught upG726 intoG1519 paradise,G3857 andG2532 heardG191 unspeakableG731 words,G4487 whichG3739 it is not lawfulG1832 G3756 for a manG444 to utter.G2980

In the Dictionaries section of the Esword program you may need to click on Strong, Thayer or Mounce if you already downloaded them. If you have not already downloaded these dictionaries and other Bibles you may do so by clicking the Download box in the top toolbar of Esword. Once you have the dictionaries and after you click on Strong, you may need to click on the small book icon in the bottom row, next to last, all the way to the right of the Dictionaries toolbar of Esword and it will list the Greek word harpazo and its definition with the corresponding number to the right.
G726
ἁρπάζω
harpazō
har-pad'-zo
From a derivative of G138; to seize (in various applications): - catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).
Total KJV occurrences: 13
Left click on the number G726 next to caught up and harpazo with its definition will be listed. Copy G726 and click on the binocular icon to search or just enter g726 into the search box and you will get 13 matches in 13 verses. Now you can examine how the word harpazo is used in every instance of the Bible. One of the first things I noticed is that in Revelation 12:5 the child caught up to God who is to rule all nations is none other than Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who was caught up to the throne of God after dying in the flesh. I had always associated the word rapture with being alive in the flesh which is obviously not true. The verse most commonly referred to by proponents of the pretribulation rapture does describe being caught up alive but only after the dead rise first.
1Th 4:16 ForG3754 theG3588 LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shout,G2752 withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangel,G743 andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of God:G2316 andG2532 theG3588 deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 first:G4412
1Th 4:17 ThenG1899 weG2249 which are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the clouds,G3507 to meetG1519 G529 theG3588 LordG2962 inG1519 the air:G109 andG2532 soG3779 shall we everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the Lord.G2962
The first question we might ask is when are the dead resurrected and risen up into the clouds with the Lord? At the harvest at the end of the age. With careful study one can research and find that God sometimes speaks of his people as living plants or produce such as wheat, trees or wine, etc. which need to be harvested when ripened. Just search harvest and you will get several verses to describe it. Jesus clearly tells the disciples that the harvest of wheat which is his good seed shall be at the end of the world as we know it ruled by Satan currently. Later we will see that the end of the current world will occur at the seventh and last trumpet judgment.
Mat 13:29 ButG1161 heG3588 said,G5346 Nay;G3756 lestG3379 while ye gather upG4816 theG3588 tares,G2215 ye root upG1610 also theG3588 wheatG4621 withG260 them.G846
Mat 13:30 LetG863 bothG297 grow togetherG4885 untilG3360 theG3588 harvest:G2326 andG2532 inG1722 theG3588 timeG2540 of harvestG2326 I will sayG2046 to theG3588 reapers,G2327 Gather ye togetherG4816 firstG4412 theG3588 tares,G2215 andG2532 bindG1210 themG846 inG1519 bundlesG1197 to burnG2618 them:G846 butG1161 gatherG4863 theG3588 wheatG4621 intoG1519 myG3450 barn.G596

Mat 13:39 (G1161) TheG3588 enemyG2190 that sowedG4687 themG846 isG2076 theG3588 devil;G1228 theG3588 harvestG2326 isG2076 the endG4930 of theG3588 world;G165 andG2532 theG3588 reapersG2327 areG1526 the angels.G32
Rev 14:14 AndG2532 I looked,G1492 andG2532 beholdG2400 a whiteG3022 cloud,G3507 andG2532 uponG1909 theG3588 cloudG3507 one satG2521 like untoG3664 the SonG5207 of man,G444 havingG2192 onG1909 hisG848 headG2776 a goldenG5552 crown,G4735 andG2532 inG1722 hisG848 handG5495 a sharpG3691 sickle.G1407
The archangel comes out of the temple in heaven with the shout of a loud voice to reap the harvest of the earth.
Rev 14:15 AndG2532 anotherG243 angelG32 cameG1831 out ofG1537 theG3588 temple,G3485 cryingG2896 withG1722 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 to him that satG2521 onG1909 theG3588 cloud,G3507 Thrust inG3992 thyG4675 sickle,G1407 andG2532 reap:G2325 forG3754 theG3588 timeG5610 is comeG2064 for theeG4671 to reap;G2325 forG3754 theG3588 harvestG2326 of theG3588 earthG1093 is ripe.G3583
Rev 14:16 AndG2532 he that satG2521 onG1909 theG3588 cloudG3507 thrust inG906 hisG848 sickleG1407 onG1909 theG3588 earth;G1093 andG2532 theG3588 earthG1093 was reaped.G2325
As written above in Thessalonians Jesus comes back in the clouds to harvest the dead buried in the earth, both soul and body.
The three preceding verses in the book of Revelation indicate that it is near the end of the time of great tribulation as the time when those who take the mark of the beast occurs in the last hour of trial which is near the end of great tribulation and saints of the church on earth are still dying for their faith in Jesus Christ. The Church consists of all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, whether Jew, gentile or Israel. Only the 144000 virgins are spared from this hour of trial upon the whole earth of those elect saints who are still alive at this point in time because they are standing on Mount Zion with the Lamb of God.
Rev 14:11 AndG2532 theG3588 smokeG2586 of theirG848 tormentG929 ascendeth upG305 for ever and ever:G1519 G165 G165 andG2532 they haveG2192 noG3756 restG372 dayG2250 norG2532 night,G3571 who worshipG4352 theG3588 beastG2342 andG2532 hisG848 image,G1504 andG2532 whosoeverG1536 receivethG2983 theG3588 markG5480 of hisG848 name.G3686
Rev 14:12 HereG5602 isG2076 the patienceG5281 of theG3588 saints:G40 hereG5602 are they that keepG5083 theG3588 commandmentsG1785 of God,G2316 andG2532 theG3588 faithG4102 of Jesus.G2424
Rev 14:13 AndG2532 I heardG191 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772 sayingG3004 unto me,G3427 Write,G1125 BlessedG3107 are theG3588 deadG3498 which dieG599 inG1722 the LordG2962 from henceforth:G534 Yea,G3483 saithG3004 theG3588 Spirit,G4151 thatG2443 they may restG373 fromG1537 theirG848 labours;G2873 andG1161 theirG848 worksG2041 do followG190 (G3326) them.G846
After the great harvest of the earth the wicked are gathered and cast into the winepress of God so it obvious even to a child that the harpazo rapture is at the end of the time of great tribulation which is termed by others as post tribulation.
Another question you may ask is who is alive and remaining when Jesus returns? The key words are alive and remaining in its various forms.
The Holy Bible answers this question in the Old Testament, a book that Paul often referenced and studied daily, even before he was saved because he was previously a Pharisee and the New Testament was not yet fully written.

More evidence of when the harpazo rapture occurs at the end of the time of great tribulation and Satan’s wrath for the saints as we see written that they shall flee and the Lord will come to get them with saints who had already risen from the dead of the earth. The great earthquake is the mount of Olives separating to the north and south.

Rev 11:12 AndG2532 they heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772 sayingG3004 unto them,G846 Come upG305 hither.G5602 AndG2532 they ascended upG305 toG1519 heavenG3772 inG1722 a cloud;G3507 andG2532 theirG848 enemiesG2190 beheldG2334 them.G846
After the last two witnesses of Jesus Christ are raptured and caught up to heaven in a cloud the believing remnant of Jerusalem are saved at the end of the time of great tribulation.

The time of great tribulation and great wrath of Satan is over for the elect saints but the Day of the Lord’s Wrath upon the wicked continues. Because the earth is now the kingdom of Jesus Christ he can now gather up the dead saints into the air.
Rev 11:15 AndG2532 theG3588 seventhG1442 angelG32 sounded;G4537 andG2532 there wereG1096 greatG3173 voicesG5456 inG1722 heaven,G3772 saying,G3004 TheG3588 kingdomsG932 of this worldG2889 are becomeG1096 the kingdoms of ourG2257 Lord,G2962 andG2532 of hisG848 Christ;G5547 andG2532 he shall reignG936 for ever and ever.G1519 G165 G165
The next question one must ask is what trump?
There are seven trumpet judgments of God listed in the book of Revelation. The answer lies in the scriptures that the pretribulation rapture proponents twist and use for their agenda. At the last trumpet judgment the dead are raised and the earth becomes the kingdom of our Lord and King Jesus Christ.

The scriptures in Revelation list several verses with several groups of believers who are killed for their faith after the supposed pretribulation rapture in chapter four.
The remnant of Jerusalem give glory to God during the second woe which is just before the seventh trumpet is sounded. As you can see and read everything happens in a timely fashion and no scriptures need to be twisted to see the obvious Truth that the remnant of Jerusalem is raptured at the last trump after the dead are resurrected in the harvest of the earth. The three woes correspond with the fifth, sixth and seventh trumpets.
Rev 11:13 AndG2532 the sameG1565 hourG5610 wasG1096 there a greatG3173 earthquake,G4578 andG2532 theG3588 tenth partG1182 of theG3588 cityG4172 fell,G4098 andG2532 inG1722 theG3588 earthquakeG4578 were slainG615 of(G3686) menG444 sevenG2033 thousand:G5505 andG2532 theG3588 remnantG3062 wereG1096 affrighted,G1719 andG2532 gaveG1325 gloryG1391 to theG3588 GodG2316 of heaven.G3772

Now you see how every question was answered with other scriptures and the pretribulation rapture is easily disproved and the teachers of this false doctrine are found liars as they fall backward, are broken, snared and taken; just as Isaiah prophesied:
Isa 28:13 But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 wasH1961 unto them preceptH6673 upon precept,H6673 preceptH6673 upon precept;H6673 lineH6957 upon line,H6957 lineH6957 upon line;H6957 hereH8033 a little,H2191 and thereH8033 a little;H2191 thatH4616 they might go,H1980 and fallH3782 backward,H268 and be broken,H7665 and snared,H3369 and taken.H3920
Don’t be surprised when men who have pastored for forty or fifty years teach you something different in a different way from a scripted commentary. Be forewarned, God does not take this lightly.
Rev 22:18 For I testify together to everyone who hears the Words of the prophecy of this Book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add on him the plagues that have been written in this Book.
Rev 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which have been written in this Book.
The scriptures have answered these questions:
What trump of God? The seventh trumpet judgment
When are the dead in Christ risen? At the seventh trumpet judgment
Who rises first, the dead or the living in the rapture? The dead rise first
Who are those who are alive and remain being caught up in the clouds meeting Jesus in the air in the harpazo rapture? The living and surviving remnant of Jerusalem, Israel.
Please be as a Berean and continue to study the Holy Scriptures the way God has instructed you in the book of Isiaih.
Isa 28:9 Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine? Those weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts.
Isa 28:10 For precept must be on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little;
