PROPHECY BOOTCAMP: "The Rapture Before the Tribulation?" (Part 9) from Dr. Tim LaHaye 

The sixth reason why I believe the rapture will occur before the Tribulation is because Only a Pre-Tribulation Position Assures a Population for the Millennium.

If the rapture were to occur at the middle or end of the Tribulation, as some well-intentioned people suggest, there would not be anyone left in their natural bodies to populate the millennial kingdom. All believers would be raptured and given resurrected bodies while all unbelievers, according to Jesus' own teachings in Matthew 25:31-46, would be cast into "everlasting punishment." During the 1000-year millennial kingdom, there will be an enormous population, most of whom will become believers. But only those people who missed the rapture because of their unbelief who accept Christ during the Tribulation and managed to survive the Antichrist's holocaust through God's acts of mercy will be able to propagate during the millennium.
