Post-Tribulation Rapture
In Christian eschatology, the post-tribulation rapture doctrine is the belief in a combined resurrection and rapture of all believers coming after the great tribulation.
This doctrine holds that there is a resurrection of dead believers and rapture or translation (or a taking-up/catching-away) of living believers in Jesus Christ at the end of the age (or the "End time"). Post-tribulationists believe that Christians will remain on the Earth throughout a whole 7-year Tribulation period which includes the last three and a half years, which some differentiate by calling the last three and a half years the Great Tribulation period. The main and distinguishing feature of Post-Tribulationalism is that it holds that the Rapture will occur after a 7-year Tribulation period and not before it as in Pre-tribulationism or after 3 1⁄2 years as in Mid-Tribulationalism. This period starts at the Abomination of Desolation and ends at the Battle of Armageddon. They will be taken up (or raptured) to meet Christ in the air (raptured) at the Christ's second coming immediately after the great tribulation just before the battle of Armageddon and then return with Him as Christ descends to the Earth, to usher in the Millennium—the 1000-year reign of Christ on Earth]. This is usually understood as being in line with Historic Premillennialism.
For additional references, see also the parallel passages from Mark 13:24-27 and Luke 21:20-28. While the passages in Luke 21 parallels Matthew and Mark, it offers a couple of interesting clarifications. This passage in Luke offers interesting references to some of the major events which are greatly elaborated on in the Book of Revelation. Reading all three Books of the Bible in parallel, it would appear that Luke elaborates on the "abomination of desolation" describing Jerusalem being surrounded by the armies of the world and of Jerusalem's imminent destruction (Luke 21:20).
