When does Christ return in relation to the Tribulation?
Christ returns at the end of the tribulation, after the seven-year period. The church age ends when the church is called out, then the seven-year tribulation begins, and after Christ returns at its end, the thousand-year kingdom begins. This sequence places His return after the tribulation, not before it.
Les teaches that the church age ends when the church is called out, then begins the seven years of the tribulation, and after Christ returns at the end of the tribulation, we come into the thousand years of the kingdom. He also explains that an escaping remnant of Jews leaves Jerusalem at the midpoint of the tribulation, as recorded in Matthew 24 beginning at verse 15. That remnant is a mixed group, including workers in the field, young mothers, and pregnant ladies.
