I Am Christian
With these unprecedented times I was wondering if we had entered the Great Tribulation as spoken about in Matthew Ch 24 V21. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
As it speaks of Pestilence in Luke 21:11
There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
The question I am asking is? Does the Rapture of the Church come before the tribulation? Some people believe that is the case, others believe in a mid tribulation Rapture and some believe in a post tribulation Rapture.
Personally I believe in the Pre Tribulation Rapture 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 New International Version (NIV)
16 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. 17 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. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Secondly as it states in Revelation 3:10
Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.
I think that we who are born again will be taken from this world before the day of Gods Wrath
however I am wanting to hear other peoples views on the subject I am not here for a fight and would appreciate intelligent conversation on this
