"THIS SCRIPTURE WOULD READ 'EIGHTY-FOUR MONTHS' INSTEAD OF "FORTY-TWO MONTHS" IF......."

Dear Doves,
 
The following Scripture would read 'eighty-four months' instead of "forty-two months" IF the pre-tribbers were right - which this Scripture proves THEY ARE WRONG.
 
Revelation 11:2
"But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to THE GENTILES. And THEY WILL TREAD the holy city underfoot FOR FORTY-TWO MONTHS." 
 
If the Church really were raptured seven-years before the Second Coming of the Lord this Scripture would state that the Gentiles will tread the holy city for EIGHTY-FOUR MONTHS which it does not. This Scripture closes the case on the seven-year tribulation theory and the pre-trib rapture theory.
 
The rapture is 'PRE=TRIB' ONLY IN THE SENSE that it occurs JUST BEFORE 'THE WRATH OF GOD' TRIBULATION which begins FORTY-TWO MONTHS BEFORE the Second Coming of the
 
Lord AT THE MID-POINT of the 70th Week of Daniel. Therefore, THE RAPTURE IS CORRECTLY DESCRIBED AS THE 'PRE-WRATH' OF GOD rapture. Case closed!
 
 
According to Your Word, come Lord Jesus!
