what scriptures tell us exactly, that we will be raptured up before tribulation?
if the last trump happens before tribulation then how can there be 7 more in tribulation?
How can there be great multitude of people taken out of the tribulation if they weren't in it to start with?
My favorite of all, if it states clearly in Matthew 24:29 after the days of tribulation Jesus comes in the clouds to gather His people, then how can it be before tribulation

There is no scripture that claims that the rapture will take place as many people believe. It is a very common belief based on non-Biblical traditions.

There is no scriptural evidence for the rapture. Matthew 24 is usually cited ("there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left") but in the context of parable/teaching, this should be read as a metaphoric rather than a literal passage.
Likewise, several passages in John's Revelation describe the people of God being "taken" or "caught up," but here again the scripture writer is using symbolic language.

there are other verses but this is one of the main ones hope this helps and I hope it is soon that we go.
1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Co 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Found some more......
Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Rev 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
and yet some more.... Only the saved believe in the rapture to all others its just a fairy tale because only the Holy Spirit can give evidence of it through faith. There are different opinions on exactly when it will happen I think these verses put it in proper order.
Mat 24:29 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:
Mat 24:30 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.
Mat 24:31 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.
Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Ok my last edit lol please read the before and after parts of all my examples so that you can put them into the full meaning of the scriptures
Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Luk 17:31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Luk 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
Luk 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Rather than spout off a whole litany of scriptures that will take me forever to explain, I will offer the two links below that should explain it very well.

The word "rapture" is not used in the Bible at all.
The site below summarizes different beliefs.
