The book of Revelation does not describe Jesus’ return before chapter 19, and first mentions a resurrection of the righteous believers in chapter 20, where it is called the “first resurrection.” (The meaning is debated, but by definition all premillennialists, which include all pre-Tribulationalists, see that as a bodily resurrection.) Some argue for an implied pre-Tribulational Rapture of all believers earlier in the book, although it is not clear in the context of the passages cited. Can you find any explicit reference in Revelation to a coming before the Tribulation?
