I used to believe in a Pre-Trib Rapture, as many coming out of Dallas Theological Seminary and BIOLA College teach.

HERE IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT FIRST SHOWED ME THAT THE RAPTURE WOULD TAKE PLACE MID-TRIB

Rev 13:5-11 says, "And there was given unto him (i.e., THE FIRST BEAST, ANTICHRIST) a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months (i.e., during the first half of the Tribulation). 6  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and THEM THAT DWELL IN HEAVEN (i.e., the wise-virgin saints caught up Mid-Trib). 7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints (i.e., the foolish-virgin saints left behind), and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9  If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 11  And I beheld ANOTHER BEAST (i.e., the Satan-possessed False Prophet) coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

POPE FRANCIS BLASPHEMY: HE SAID, "GOD IS NOT A DIVINE BEING"

"When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything — but that is not so. ... God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life."

THE FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURE IS MID-TRIB, BECAUSE MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL APPEARS MID-TRIB

1Th 4:16,17 says, "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

MID-TRIB: "NOW IS COME SALVATION" (SOTERIA, RESCUE, DELIVERANCE, I.E., THE RAPTURE), AND STRENGTH, AND THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD, AND THE POWER OF HIS CHRIST"

Rev 12:6-12 says, "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place 9(i.e., Petra) prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days (i.e., during the Great Tribulation). 7  And there was war in heaven: MICHAEL and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, NOW (arti, just now, this day) IS COME SALVATION (soteria, rescue, deliverance, i.e., THE RAPTURE), and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12  THEREFORE REJOICE, YE HEAVENS, AND YE THAT DWELL IN THEM. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time" (i.e., the shortened Great Tribulation).

Dan 12:1 says, "And AT THAT TIME (i.e., Mid-Trib, when Antichrist 'shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain', Dan 11:45) shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and AT THAT TIME THY PEOPLE SHALL BE DELIVERED  (malat, ESCAPE, LEAP OUT), every one that shall be found written in the book."
