The Plagues Of Egypt And The Tribulation

Q. If the plagues of Egypt are a type of Tribulation and God doesn’t spare the Isrealites until the 5th plague(in fact their lives get much worse as they begin), is this symbolic of a mid trib rapture? I believe in the pre-trib, but haven’t been able to come up with an answer to the above with any satisfaction. 

A. The plagues of Egypt do make an interesting model of Daniel’s 70th week, and the believing Jews will be protected from the last half of it  when they flee to the desert (Rev. 12:14), just as they were protected from the worst of the plagues.  There is no model of the Church in the plagues of Egypt because the Church won’t be present during Daniel’s 70th Week.
