It's all about timing isn't? These passages don't tell us if this is before the Tribulation or after.

Christ returns for His Church before the tribulation since the Tribulation is not for the church, it is for Israel, (Jacobs trouble-Jer.30:7), the final week of Daniel's 70th 'week'.

The Church (Christ's Bride) will not go through the Tribulation, but will be in heaven at the time (Rev.19:7)

I agree that the Rapture occurs before the Tribulation. I believe non Jews will be saved during the Tribulation as well.
