You ignored Mat 24 and you just took a word (Harpazo) and poured all your theology into it. It says nothing about a pretrib seven year previous to the Christ's coming snatching awaySounds like you've so completely compartmentalized the Bible that you have become blinded by your pride.
As you wish.
1Th 4:17 Vulgate deinde nos qui vivimus qui relinquimur simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera et sic semper cum Domino erimus
granted, my question becomes...
can you actually read latin.
perhaps you can read Greek? If not, the word you're looking for is harpadzo.
1Th 4:17 OGNTa ἔπειτα ἡμεῖς οἱ ζῶντες οἱ περιλειπόμενοι ἅμα σὺν αὐτοῖς ἁρπαγησόμεθα ἐν νεφέλαις εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ Κυρίου εἰς ἀέρα· καὶ οὕτως πάντοτε σὺν Κυρίῳ ἐσόμεθα.

Why, are you afraid to focus on the truth?
The elect are Israel.
Zec 13:8 WEB It shall happen that in all the land,” says Yahweh, “two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
The third is the elect.
In fact, Paul discusses this in Romans 9-11.
Nothing you posted speaks of it
you failed
If you think so then demonstrate Mat 24 and Luke 21 teaches a rapture of the church and is not dealing with Israel
This was not done
Show where the term rapture is mentioned and it takes men to be with christ while they are in a living state previous to some future great tribulation
nothing you posted shows a future to us pretrib rapture
BTW show why the elect are spoken of at Mat 24:18-22 and not removed from the earth and have to run to the hills
Matthew 24:18–22 (KJV 1900) — 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
you failed to address that
