You think the Rapture of the Saints MUST happen before the “Great Tribulation” Right?

I agree with the opinion that God’s Wrath can not hit us (the body of Christ), and I’ll show what’s wrong about the Pre-Tribulation rapture.

God’s wrath was to hit Jesus once in order to provide us salvation through the spilled blood of the lamb.

This act fulfilled and made the Old Testament laws null and void ushering in the age of Grace where we confess (speak) ourselves unto salvation.

The Apostle Paul puts it this way:

Romans 10:8-13 “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

(Sidebar: For those wondering what brings you to the point of uttering the words Paul describes click here Faithing.com)

We read in 1 Thessalonians 5:9 (KJV) “For God hath not appointed us to (His) wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ”

What keeps us (Christians), from God’s wrath? The act of salvation does. Why? Because it deposits the spirit of Jesus Christ into our bodies (not figuratively, but physiologically). Ergo, God must remove us (the body of Christ), from the playing field before He can unleash His wrath on earth.

No doubt about it. God will have to rapture us BEFORE He pours out His wrath.

I 100% agree with you on that point. 

BUT

The “Great Tribulation” described in Revelation 7:14

IS NOT GOD’S WRATH!

PROVE ME WRONG

Send ANY Biblical scripture that defines
“The Great Tribulation” as “God’s Wrath”

If you’re right, I will publicly apologize and remove this article.

That’s right folks, the “Great Tribulation” is not God’s wrath. We see God’s wrath come later in Revelation 15 &16, when the seven angels pour the seven vials of God’s wrath out onto the earth. Go read it for yourselves, then ask yourself, does God pour His wrath out on earth just after He poured His wrath on earth in the “Great Tribulation”? Sounds silly now doesn’t it.

Sidebar: Where did the Daniel’s 70th Week Pre-tribulation doctrine originate? Had to start somewhere right? Click here to find out.

Now let’s fast forward to our present day and look at some Pre-Great Trib rapture logic.

The same people teaching and believing the Pre-Tribulation rapture has to occur before God spills His wrath in “The Great Tribulation”, are the same people you’ll see quote Matthew 24:37-39 to describe how “as the days of Noah” people are living after the rapture and before the return of Christ.

“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be”

These verses describe the mood of the people just blindly living the good life, eating, drinking, marrying, completely unawares that Jesus is about to return. Let me ask you, does that sound like people being persecuted by the Antichrist Beast or in any kind of GREAT TRIBULATION like this verse describes? Matthew 24:21 “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

So the question is:

“If the Great Tribulation isn’t

God’s wrath, what is it?”

Answer:

It’s Hell’s wrath

Here’s the key factor in understanding the Book of Revelation:

The Bible was not written TO US.

It was written FOR US.

We read in Revelation Chapter One the entire Book of Revelation was dictated to John by Jesus Christ to be delivered to the seven Jewish/Christian churches in Asia (ancient name for what is now the region of Turkey).

The entire book was written and delivered to them.

It’s about what will happen to them.

NOT TO THE WHOLE WORLD

Jesus is warning them of Satan’s wrath brought on by His resurrection and return to heaven where he kicked Satan out.

We read about this in Revelation 12:9-13

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, (Upon the arrival of Jesus) Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser (Satan) of our brethren is cast down (to the earth), which accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) which brought forth the man child (Jesus).”

Satan would now seek to annihilate Israel / Jews (and then the Christians) from existence as revenge.

Did that happen?  ABSOLUTELY. By who? The 6th, 7th and 8th Beast of Revelation.

The Great Tribulation is set up by the Roman Empire (the 6th Beast), in the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, causing the dispersion of the Jews beyond Israel fulfilling this prophecy about the beginning of “The Times of the Gentiles.”

Luke 21:24 “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

At the death of the 6th Beast Roman Empire we see this prophecy fulfilled:

2 Thessalonians 2:7 “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way”

Now with the 6th beast taken out of the way, the 7th Beast can rise up by the spirit of antichrist possessing the False Prophet and the release of the the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse*.” This 7th Beast suffered a deadly head wound (at the Battle of Tours), fulfilling this prophecy: Rev 13:3 “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” and was later revived into the 8th beast (by the wealth of oil), fulfilling this prophecy: Revelation 17:11 “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.”

Together (the 7th beast becoming the 8th beast) they slaughtered the Jews and Christians by the tens and tens of millions over the centuries.

*The use of the word “apocalypse” connected to the horsemen is a misnomer, it’s a label not found in scripture. It mistakenly attaches the meaning of “the end of the world”, which has the Pre-tribbers thinking it’s a future event, when in fact, it began about 1400 years ago with the breaking of the first seal bringing the white horse, and its rider on to the world stage.

His name was Muhammad,

The man of sin.

The son of perdition.

The Lawless one

Thee False Prophet.

It’s no coincidence

Arabic Islamic countries flags all use the same
four colors as the Four Horses of the Apocalypse.

White (horse) Red (horse) Black (horse) and Pale Green (horse)

It’s no coincidence

Matthew 24:21
tells us what to look for when
The Great Tribulation starts
against the Jew & Christian.

Matthew 24:15-21 King James Version (KJV)

“15 WHEN ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For THEN shall be great tribulation,

such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

It’s no coincidence

The Arabic term “Bismillah”
(the Arabic mark that means “in the name of Allah“)
LOOKS LIKE 666 written in Greek.

This is what the Apostle John was
describing in the book of Revelation.

The Bismillah “In the name of Allah” compared to the Greek spelling of 666

Betcha Didn’t See That Coming Eh?

Once you acknowledge the Book of Revelation was written to and for the Jews in Israel you can begin to see through the foolishness of modern day end times teachings, starting with Daniel’s magical end times last seven years 70th week Pre-Tribulation rapture nonsense.

In this video you will learn the precise dates when the Great Tribulation started and ended.

Join Joseph A. Cortes of Faith Cometh By Hearing ministries in this study of the 42 months. It isn’t a future event. It’s history. It was “Jacob’s trouble”. It was the GREAT TRIBULATION.

WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

There’s so much more you’ve been taught your entire Christian life that is just flat out false doctrine designed by Satan to distract not just generations of Christians, but more importantly, the Last Generation of Christians. Satan has nearly the entire body of Christ thinking most all the events prophesied between Daniel and the Book of Revelation are yet to come, when in fact, most of them have already occurred.

Satan’s final act against Christianity will be to have millions of people professing to be Christians only to discover they were fooled and caught unawares after the door has closed. You really want to know how the last days will be like Noah’s? Only 8 people made into the Ark. Comparatively speaking ( between the global population in Noah’s time to present day), don’t expect much difference.
