Posttribulation rapture

Jan Luyken's illustration of the rapture described in Matthew 24:40, as found in the Bowyer Bible.

The posttribulation rapture doctrine is the belief in a combined resurrection and rapture, or gathering of the saints, that occurs after the Great Tribulation but before the millennial reign of Christ.[1] It differs from other rapture views such as pretribulation, midtribulation, and prewrath.

There are four variants of this view: classic, semiclassic, futurist, and dispensational. It may be a premillennial,[2] postmillennial, or amillennial view.[3]
