Intro

The post millenial rapture is the rapture that occurs at the white throne judgement.

Explaination

(I Thessalonians 4:15-17 [KJV])
 [15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
 [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
 [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

We see when it is that you would meet the Lord in the air. The reason you will meet the Lord in the air is because the earth and the heaven has fled away (Rev 20:11). It is at the white throne judgement that the rapture is as I discuss in this article.

(Revelation of John 20:11 [KJV]) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

But what about the first resurrection aren't they raptured up to heaven in the pretrib midtrib och posttrib rapture and then we can see them in heaven in the first resurrection (Rev 20:4)?

(Revelation of John 20:4 [KJV]) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

The people and or souls that we see in heaven in Rev 20:4 might be people who have died and gone to heaven and are resurrected in the first resurrection.

There is scripture that indicate a rapture before the millenium and after the great tribulation.
