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

I Believe whole heartedly the scriptures back up a pre trib rapture and believe it will happen soon! We are living in the midnight hour... and the hands of the clock are well less than 5 minutes til MN NOW!

Your posted scriptures are excellent for proof of the rapture!

Everything is lining up for that One World Government that the world is screaming for called “globalism”. There will have to be the one world leader (dictator) that the Bible clearly calls the Antichrist (beast)...whom I believe is alive and well just waiting for his moment in history to come on the scene. Also I believe we are headed for the One World Religion that is clearly in the scriptures as the Roman Catholic Church will be the head of. Also there will be the one world currency which will be the mark of the beast which is also clearly spelled out in the Bible in Revelation, that “no man might buy or sell without the mark”.

People get confused on the rapture and the second coming of Christ to this earth which are definitely two different things. When Jesus comes to earth again, he will touch his feet down on Mt. Olivet and EVERY EYE shall see him, the rapture will be like a thief in the night where some will be taken and some left! Those that are taken will meet the Lord in the air... He is coming in the clouds and calling those that are truly his and NOT lukewarm to come up hither to the marriage supper of the lamb! It will happen in a twinkling of an eye....

All hell will break loose on this earth and the wrath of God will be poured out. God will have his day while the true children of God (bride of Christ) are at the marriage supper of the lamb) safe just as Noah and his family were saved from the Flood and Lot was saved from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah!!!

I have believed and watched for this my whole life and I DO believe the end of the world as we know it is upon us. It’s time for the people of God to get right and stay right! To make their calling and election sure...and for the people of this world that don’t know him to turn to him with a repentant heart and be saved before it’s too late!

Ever how bad people think this world is now..it is a drop in the bucket to how evil will reign here once the restrainer (Holy Ghost) is removed from this world. And if people think Hitler was evil, stick around and see the Antichrist whom will be the devil incarnate.

Jesus said, this will be a time like never has been or ever will be...

Putting heads in the sand and unbelievers will not stop the hand of God. It’s in the scriptures and it will come to pass.

Jesus said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words will not”’

Another important scripture is this; Jesus said, “pray that you be found accounted worthy to escape the things coming on the face of this earth and stand before the son of man”!

“The spirit and the Bride say come”!
