Hi,
 
Not much time to read thru postings these days, but have enjoyed selecting some of yours.  There is a lot of peace that comes from searching something out and seeing all the pieces line up.  Takes a certain type of personality to enjoy that I realize, but I certainly enjoy the fullness of your postings.
 
One quick thought for you.  I was made aware of a type in the OT that follows through the 1000 year reign of Christ. 
 
In the garden it was Adam AND Eve that was given the right to rulership over the earth. God established that pattern and it follows through with His rule on earth and it will follow through with Christ future reign on Earth.   God establishes the nation Israel, calls" her" His wife and then comes among them on earth to help them rule.  Christ too will rule the earth, but in keeping with the type ,He too must have a wife prior to his taking the rule.
 
In Rev. 5, Christ is seen to be the only one qualified to take the title deed for the earth and open it "the book".  Part of that qualification is having a wife.  I know the wedding doesn't take place until mid trib., but the contract is settled during the selection process that occurs in the judgments of the 7 churches in Rev. 2 and 3.  The bride is revealed, the contract made and now Christ is qualified to take the book and break open the seals. 
 
There has to be a pretrib. rapture for these things to take place in this order.
