I did at first too. Then after careful study I came to the conclusion it won’t happen the way Pre-Trib’s say it will. There are arguments for Pre,Mid, and Post Trib. As well as against. I personally don’t care one way or other. There would be three comings of Yeshua. The first where He died as the Suffering Messiah, then the Second coming as the Conquering Messiah. No where does it say He comes three times i.e. for His Church in the Rapture. All the Disciples and Apostles were looking for His coming the Second time only.
I’ve gotta admit that I’ve become mostly “pan tribulationist” - It will all pan out in the end. I just think the most likely of the various ones is the “mid-trib” also called “Post-trib, pre-wrath” belief.
I used to be firmly in the pre-trib rapture camp. Now, not so much. The necessity of 3 comings for pre-trip rapture to be true is a problem. Our pastor explains it “a second coming in two parts”, I think it is a rather silly stretch.
