The Rapture: Why Pre-Trib is a Lie

Preliminary Scriptures:
1) For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. Job 19:25-26.

Throughout the books of the Bible we see people speaking of their hope of the Resurrection. Martha said she knew her brother Lazarus would rise someday:
"Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. John 11:24.

Paul also cited the hope of the Resurrection:
". .Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day. Acts 14:21

The Pharisees trying to trap Jesus in his words asked:
In thew resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? Mark 12:23

Jesus spoke often of the blessedness of those who will be counted worthy of the Resurrection:
". . .for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just." Luke 14:14

"And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; John 5:29

David also voiced his hope in the Resurrection:
..."For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Psalm 16:9-10

Isaiah joins the crowd marveling at this wonderful promise:
'Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Isaiah 26:19

Why the emphasis on Rapture rather than Resurrection? In all false teaching there is found an appeal to the flesh; some allure or benefit to the carnal nature. There's no difference here in this teaching.

A proper focus is not about the preservation of self. It's about the death of self. "For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Romans 6:5.
