Mickey, I am not Mid-Trib, but some folk use the 11th chapter of Rev. as a proof text.

If you are referring to the Mid-Tribulation Rapture of the Church, I have
not been able to find any Scripture anywhere that teaches a Mid-Trib rapture.
You can take isolated verses and build one I suppose but you also can take
isolated verses and build any teaching you desire. This is why we have so many
different beliefs about the same thing. When we take the Scripture in the
context that it is given and compare Scripture with Scripture from all 66 Books of
the Bible, we will find that there is only one interpretation to any teaching
and that is God's. Men make appliction uses verses and try to prove that it
is the interpretation. When we learn how to "rightly divide" the Word of God,
then we can understand what God has given to us. If everyone would study as
2 Tim. 2: 15 says, then there would be no difference in our beliefs. These
differences come because of our lack of how to study the Bible and compare
Scripture with Scripture. Regardless of the different beliefs about the coming of
Christ, there is only one that the Scripture teaches and that is the
Pre-Tribulation coming of Christ that we refer to as the "Rapture." We must learn the
difference as taught in the Bible between the Jew, the Gentile, and the Church
of God. They are all three different and not to be confused as one replacing
the other. All have a place in the "Plan and Purpose" of God (since Acts 4 &
10) for man.
InChrist,
Charles
