So I've been thinking

As the title says I've been thinking, what about you might ask, well about Revelation and all that stuff. To give some background I have been listening to Saviour Machine, really cool Christian band, and they have three albums out so far going through the book of Revelation, a friend of mine gave me the third one and I've listened to it all the way through about 3-4 times already.
Anyway, after all that I decided to go and read through Revelation again its been forever since i have. You know what I'm coming to suspect? I am coming to suspect that, if there will be a "rapture" of the church, and I'm not fully convinced at this point either way, that it would at most be mid or even late Trib at best.
The reason I say this is many times it says, at least in my translation, many times that the saints must endure and hold fast to their faith in Jesus, keep in mind this is said in the midst of all the seals and trumpets and I think even a few of the bowls. So that statement would suggest that the saints are still on Earth and what is the church but the body of all the saints. Also I am of the persuasion that much of Revelation is more literal then figurative. I won't go into that much here but part of the reason I say that is what takes more faith the fact that God actually showed John what actually was happening or just used images to get it across.
Again I can't say if I am persuaded 100% that all these are correct just what I'm thinking of right now.
