When I was a new believer in Jesus I was taught that we, the church, would be raptured before the great tribulation.Jesus is telling us in verses 24-27 that He returns after the tribulation. After the Sun is darkened and the Moon gives no light and the Stars are falling from the sky then you shall you see the Son of man coming. verse 26 . We need to realise that we the church according to Jesus Christ will be on Earth during the tribulation. Matthew 24:29-31 confirms this also. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. There is a lot of deception around regarding the tribulation but Jesus has clearly told us when He is to return and yes it shall be Immediately after the tribulation.
