There is no such thing as a Pre-Trib rapture.
That's soul candy invented by failed Anglican priest
Nelson Darby in the 1800s.
The Rapture cult has screwed up a lot of
fundamentalists. They are expecting a free ticket
out of here before the fireworks happen. It's not
going to go their way. And their faith is going to be
extremely tested when their special ticket outta' here
doesn't happen.

No one knows the hour or the day. We can know the season.
It's coming and I hope all are ready.
This could be it in fact, re: drones heading to Israel.
Live each moment as if it we are going at any second.
I am a pre-trib believer. God doesn't allow abuse of his bride (we believers). He saved Noah, etc. Turn to Him.

First will rise the dead in Christ. Christians believe we are "going to the spirit in the sky. It's where I'm going when I die. When they lay me to rest, I'm going to go to the place that's the best"! Seriously, I believe it won't matter if you are covered by the blood of the Lamb of God.
If we read it closely, we see the 144,000 come from the 12 Tribes of Israel. Goyim are already in if they believe Jesus is the Son of the Living God and his sacrifice cleanses all sinners who seek forgiveness of sin.

I absolutely agree with what you had to say here. There are a couple of concepts in Scripture that really have my mind very curious. One is the notion of the Great Deception. Scripture refers to this as a deception so cunning that, if it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived. The second fascinating part of the story which is the Bible is the rise of the anti-Christ. Well, in Matthew, Jesus is asked when that day will come, the last day. Jesus answers his friends and tells them that no one knows, not even the Son, but only our Father in Heaven knows that day. But! He does give us some clues into when we should see this day approach, and He says something fascinating here, He says that the day will not come until first there come a great falling away and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
The reason why I mention the above two things as it relates to what you have said is because of this great falling away. I believe it will be the pre-trib rapture folks who will fall away in great numbers, because, as you said, when the deception is in place in order to justify the modification of their beliefs coupled with the fact that the rapture didn't happen (or didn't happen on their time-line), they will abandon their faith (the falling away) and embrace that new belief supplied so conveniently for them by the very enemy that seeks their destruction. None-the-less, with fantastic itching ears, they will run towards new and convenient doctrine as espoused by the anti-Christ himself and those false teachers that he will send before him.
