The rapture takes place after the First Resurrection which occurs on the Last Day. By the time we are raptured, it will be too late to watch a movie. :o)
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lordwill by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
1 Corinthians 15: 51-53
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
So the rapture comes after the First Resurrection which occurs on the last day:
Daniel 12:13
“But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
John 6:40
“And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Whatever tribulation there is going to be must obviously happen before the last day. Therefore:
The First Resurrection is
at the last trumpet,
on the last day.
before the Rapture,
and hence
after the Tribulation
