Paul says believers will not suffer wrath. 1 Thessalonians 2:19 “For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?” Titus 2:13 while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,ĩ.

We are waiting for Christ not the anti-Christ and God’s wrath.Ĩ. If this is a message of comfort as we wait for Christ then why would we go through the tribulation? Think about it. Scripture tells us we have hope in Christ. If the church is to go through the tribulation there should be instructions and warnings of some sort, but there isn’t.

There is no instruction to the church about the tribulation. Before the tribulation believers will be raptured. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.ĭoes the rapture happen near the end of the tribulation or at the end of the tribulation? I believe the pretribulation rapture. Revelation 3:3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard hold it fast, and repent. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.ħ. Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.Ħ. 1 John 3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. Only believers will see Christ and we shall be transformed. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits then, when he comes, those who belong to him. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. My Father’s house has many rooms if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.Ĥ. John 14:1-3 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.Ĭhrist will come for His bride and take His saints to Heaven.ģ. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. 1 Corinthians 15:50-52 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Therefore encourage one another with these words.Ģ. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. Jesus will meet His saints in the air and unbelievers will be left behind.ġ. The world will not know that He has been here, and will have no knowledge of Him until He comes with the members of His Body, at the close of the Tribulation.” Billy Sunday So it will be at the time of the Rapture. Pilate and the High Priest, and those who crucified Him, did not know that He was risen. At the time of his resurrection He was only seen by those who believed on Him.

There is no judgment, no punishment, and it will be a glorious day for all believers. The rapture describes the snatching away of the church (Christians). You will not find the word, but you will find the teaching. Many ask is the rapture biblical and the answer is yes.
