There are numerous mentions of the "saints" after Rev. 4. I do not believe in any pre-trib rapture. There is nothing in Chap 4 that even resembles any rapture. Here's something I wrote last year in another post.

"I had been thinking persecution would separate the wheat from the chaff because the anti-christ is going to force all to take his mark, the mark of the beast. The church going unsaved will take the mark, but not the true believer's. So maybe that goes hand in hand, the faked return of the Lord and the forcing of the mark of the beast. The antichrist will wage war against the church and prevail (temporarily) and many true believer's will be martyred. There is a lot to know about the mark of the beast and God's use of it to finally separate the believer's from the rest of the world. Until the end there has been the process of man having one life and then comes the judgement, for them. But the last generation will have to be judged before they actually meet death, judged while still alive. That is a new situation for God to deal with. There has to be a new way to judge billions of people at one time while they still live, and God's judgement must be just. So through the mark of the beast the whole world judges themselves, chooses for themselves their master. Is that just? I think so. I think that's God's perfect plan. Once that process of the mark of the beast is complete then the earth is reaped of Jesus's true subjects and then comes the wrath of God on the rest of the world. After the mark of the beast process is complete there is no further reason to delay, and God won't delay any longer."
