Many people interpret scripture from their 'intellect' though it is only the Holy Spirit indwelling that reveals scripture and no other way. The revelation that I have received from Yeshua is that the Harvest is not a rapture, but a gathering spiritually. The left behind theme is not true. This fib will cause many to become despondent when the rapture does not happen and they are not prepared to walk in fire - it will contribute greatly to people falling away from the faith - the great falling away. They will never consider that they were lied to or taught false teachings. They will believe that Yeshua was just a 'story.' They will take the mark of the beast. Sad really. He truly is alive.
Believers are not subject to Great tribulation=God's wrath, but believers surely will be entering tribulation. We will be put to death, placed in jail and persecuted greatly for His name. He was speaking of believers. This IS the Harvest. It is surely not a 'rapture ride out of tribulation.'
We are to be baptized in WATER, Holy Spirit and FIRE. The Harvest will be the walk in the FIRE. This will sanctify and purify us. We should never fear the fire. Fear the one who can kill the body and the spirit. I hear many say, "I don't care of what is happening down here because the rapture is coming and I don't have to learn or prepare spiritually for tribulation because I will be gone." Tribulation is going to be very difficult for those who believe in a 'rapture' fib. It is not scriptural. It is a 3 fold Harvest gathering; Barley, Wheat and Grape Harvest - a gathering not a rapture.
But be of good cheer! He will burn the bundles first and the true believers WILL be protected. God never took the believers off the earth during judgment - but He did protect them from it. No fear!
