Conclusion:
So you see, there are valid arguments to several interpretations, each one claiming to take the Bible literally, and each one having some validity, but the only truth is that God will work on God's time, and anyone claiming to be absolutely privy to that information or claims to have solved the riddle and speaks as it is a matter of fact, may be gravely mistaken and it may cause the stumbling of many other souls. This is a fun and entertaining debate, but don't make it a point of argument, and I think some denominations are wrong to have any points of rapture as being a part of their by-laws or requirements to joining their church. If you close membership to someone who believes a little differently on a non Salvational point of view, you may be closing the door to someone's salvation.

My suggestion to every Christian out there is: Don't plan on a Pre-Trib Rapture, instead set your heart and mind in preperation for the upcoming greatest time of persecution the world has ever seen. 1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Exercise your heart, mind, and soul in the Word of God, in Love toward one another, in Faith of Salvation through His Son Jesus Christ, be ready and be prepared. Don't be caught off guard because you thought you wouldn't be here, and if the Pre-Trib Rapture does occur... You've lost nothing, you were ready. If it doesn't occur, you will have prepared yourself for battle, you won't be taken by surprise or shock
