So the opening of the seals began before 9/11/afghanistand seal 1, Seal 2 Iraq, Seal 3 financial meltdown, Seal 4 1/4th earth Seal 5 saints
We have bee in tribulation the great (Rev. 7.14) for the past 20 centuries. Dan. 9.27 does not refer to the past 20 centuries, so the Tribulation of Dan. 9.27 is not the same as the tribulation of 7.14. The first seal occurred when Jesus died on the cross. Jesus is the rider on the white horse with a bow and arrow that looks like a cross giving Satan a deadly wound. The plagues having been going on these past 20 centuries not just as of late. Would Jesus who handles the little book in Rev. 5 who died for our sins wait nearly 2000 years to open the first half of the book and its seals?

Seal 6 is the rapture. We come out of the tribulation because we are in it we arein it now! But before Gods wrath can be poured out we who are holding it back now must be removed via the rapture, this event coincides with Ezekiel 38 earthquake and Jesus saves Isreal in ww3. Daniel 11 makes it clear that the ww3 which begins at the before the final seven years the results are not repeated in ww4 3 and 1/2 years into the final seven.
There is no mention of a rapture in the 6th seal. There are people hiding in caves though. Satan is holding himself back as the Restrainer waiting for that opportune time to unleash the Antichrist.

There is a pre-war with Muslims, and American and the EU entering Iran possibly. WW III takes place in the 2nd woe of 13 months and 24 months of the 3rd woe. In the 2nd woe, 1/3 of the people of the earth die (Rev. 9.18), and the 200 million combined armies fight the ground war in 3rd woe (v.16).

First rapture takes place at the 7th seal in Rev. 7.9 "before the throne" just before the first trumpet is blown (8.7ff) that commences the 7 year Tribulation. The condition for first rapture is according to readiness for keeping the word of His patience to escape the hour of trial that is to come upon the whole world (3.10). About 1/7th of those alive at the first rapture will taken up.

As far as a partial rapture goes you are either righteous or not reighteous in Gods eyes. The partial seems to me to be semantics. Either your right with God or not. Genesis 18:25 Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
All believers are right with God in the sense they have eternal life, but not all believers overcometh as some of those do in Rev. 2 & 3.

There really is going to be just a fraction of the Church alive at the first rapture who shall be raptured alive, not the whole Church. It's better to accept this now and be realistic about it.

Just as all believers have endured the wrath of Satan throughout the centuries, so shall believers who were unwilling to be taken up like an Enoch or Elijah. So we have a first rapture before the Tribulation of overcomers then at the start of the last trumpet (11.15) the general rapture and resurrection takes place before the last 24 months of the Tribulation. Carnal Christians will not be taken out of the world during the time when the Vatican is nuked in the first half of the Tribulation (Rev. 8) nor during the nuclear holocaust of the 2nd woe, but those who in Christ who were not "taken" (Matt. 24.40-41), but "alive" and "left" (4.15-17) at the start of the 3rd woe will be raptured with those who are asleep. Amen. Though God's wrath comes upon the earth as well, His wrath is not directed at believers. The only reason the bulk of the Church is not raptured alive at the first rapture is because they were not willing and ready to be received. Most of them will end up losing the reward as well of returning with Christ to reign during the 1000 years.

When you enter the Tribulation you will be deceived, because you won't recognize it or acknowledge it. Just like in that movie Skyline that just came out, the rapture at the start was considered evil, so too will you accuse the 3 million or so brethren raptured alive at the first rapture who were watchful and prayerful (Luke 21.36). Your jealousy accuses, accusing the brethren day and night (Rev. 12.10). I hope at that point in the Tribulation you turn your life to Christ and stop accusing. Many are now looking for what they call a "fake rapture" at the start to accuse the overcome believers.

The bible does not indicate that believers will be raptured before the tribulation Rev 7:14 is the only reference to word tribulation in the bible. Rev 7:14 These are they who have come out of the great tribulation. We will be raptured. Then many will repent and be marytered.

Rev 6:12, matt 24:29, ezekiel 38:19 Ezekiel 39:9, Daniel 9:27, Rev 13:5, Rev 11:2, Daniel 11:31
There are many references to the word tribulation in the Bible in different senses,

Revelation 7.14 refers to the past 20 centuries, not those who are saved after the first rapture as the numbers would not add up,

Just know that when you see several million have vanished you not accuse them but realize I told you the truth that first rapture was according to readiness and you were just not ready to be received. Accept the fact that you were tied down to the world like a balloon unwilling to be released, so repent and give your life to Christ instead of accusing the brethren. Amen.
