I believe in the post tribulation rapture but maybe there is a pre trib rapture also

The 2 witnesses are kept back to be witnesses and judges.

For those of you who would like to know more about the Rapture here are some interesting and well written Chick illustrated tracts on this important subject.

Many have found 3 raptures....pretrib.; 144,0000 of Israel, and any living post pretrib Christians still alive right before the bowl wrath of God.... No living Christians will go through the actual wrath of God which are the bowl judgements as clearly defined in scripture.

There is a rapture for the Church, the Bride of Christ, that is imminent. It can and will happen at any time. It will involve first a resurrection of the dead (into their immortal bodies), then the living will be 'translated' into their immortal bodies, and then a rapture to heaven of the newly resurrected and the translated living believers. Then when they are clear of the earth, the Tribulation comes, just like Lot from Sodom.

Then the Two Witnesses in the Tribulation will come and eventually will be murdered, lie dead for 3-1/2 days, and then they too will be resurrected and raptured to heaven.

And then at the Battle of Armageddon, Yahshua(Jesus) will return to earth with His saints (Church) and His angels, and I think also with the souls of the dead believers in Christ from the Tribulation time, most of whom will be martyrs (who were under the throne in heaven). I believe that then or soon after, those souls who returned with Yahshua will be resurrected into their immortal bodies as well.

Then the 1000 year Millennial reign of Christ happens. Those who survived the Tribulation get to 'inherit the earth' in their mortal bodies, which will last a long time, like it was before the Great Flood. And some (or most) of them will live to see the end of that age, the end of Christ's Millennium, which will then have another Satanic rebellion and another war at the end. Those who survive Christ's Millennium to the end will I believe also get translated into immortal bodies. And those who die during the Millennium and are believers will be resurrected and raptured then as well.

Why? Because the heavens and the earth will be burnt up at that time, and no mortals would be able to survive it. But no mortals are allowed in heaven in their mortal bodies, so I think at that time all surviving believers will be given immortal bodies.

Then the 2nd Resurrection happens, the resurrection of the damned. Those will be brought to the Great White Throne of Judgement. I think this will happen before the earth and heavens are burnt up. And they will be judged for all the evil deeds they did in life, and will be thrown into the Lake of Fire forever as justice for their unbelief and wicked ways.

Then the heavens and the earth will be burnt up, because they are tainted with sin and rebellion, so must be burnt away by fire. All those who are believers now already have immortal bodies, so they go to hang out in New Jerusalem (sorry Russ, your calendar will not be there) which comes out of heaven. And a new earth and a new heavens will be created. And New Jerusalem will be it's capital. Amen.

There are many stages to the 1st Resurrection, all of which pertain only to believers, to be taken up when their time is right.

And the 2nd Resurrection pertains only to unbelievers, who will be taken to judgment.

Those are the only two real distinctions between the two resurrections.
