The '''Posttribulation rapture''' view is an eschatological position within Christian [[Premillennial]] [[theology]] that holds the idea that a simultaneous [[rapture]] and resurrection will occur after the [[tribulation]], during the [[Second Coming]] of [[Christ]]. Therefore the rapture of the living and the resurrection of the dead happens after the tribulation, and right before Christ sets up his political kingdom for 1000 years.

Posttribulationists argue that Christians are exempt from the Day of God's Wrath during [[Armageddon]] by supernatural deliverance. According to them, The Day of God's Wrath, or the Day of the Lord, occurs after the second coming. They argue that Christians are not exempt from Satan's wrath during the tribulation, in which many Christians will be martyred for their [[faith]] by the hands of the government of the Antichrist.

Premillennial Christians who hold to a [[Pretribulation rapture]] view take the stance that the Day of God's Wrath is synonymous with the tribulation, and therefore Christians are supernaturally "raptured" out of the tribulation, or the hour of trial, before it begins- as noted in Revelation 3:10. Revelation 3:10 reads as follows:

''"Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth."''

However, Posttribulationists argue that the greek translation of Revelation 3:10 only signifies Christians being preserved ''through'' the tribulation- or out of the tribulation, ''after'' the tribulation ends. In other words, Posttribulationists argue for this idea of perseverance and preservation of Christians going through the tribulation. They also postulate that God's judgements during the tribulation, such as the bowls and trumpets, will not fully inflict Christians, because God will be supernaturally protecting his people during that time.
