Will the righteous pass through the tribulation?

[Rascus]

NCNewman, every one here has his own opinion of the tribulation and the rapture, but since you are of

the persuasion of an end times rapture, you might enjoy reading from these two sites;

At one time I was a pre-trib believer, then a post-trib believer, now I am just resting in the knowledge

that I am the Lord's and He shall return to claim me in His own good time. That is a comfort to me.

Matthew 24:36 tells us that no man knows when He will return. Only God our Father knows that piece of

information, this being the case I have concluded that either way I am as Psalm 91 says.

joi....Thats the best and only way to take it joi.....and I am in total agreement with you on that. I was just as you one time believed in pre-trib....then went to post trib....and now I just rest in the knowledge that one day soon He will be here to claim His own......and that brings me the comfort I need......Jesus come quickly!

All His love and blessings be with you........Rascus

Will the righteous pass through the tribulation?

Eze 14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.

God says yes.

In Jesus Name,

Shalom, NCNewman.

It is more believed that the rapture will take place before the tribulation therefore excludin the believer but i recently found it not to be so. From 2thess 2:3we can discover that the day will not come until the antichrist be reveale. Rev 13:10 talking about the beast says that time will test the patience and faith of the saints. And finally the words of our Lord in matt 24:29downward says immediately after the tribulation...the rapture of the saints will take place. Many not thinking of this may not be prepared to endure the day. If this day was not shortened...but for the elects sake it will be shortened. Your brother . Newman

In answer to the topic's question, "Will the righteous pass through the tribulation?" the answer is simple: Yes. The righteous WILL pass through the tribulation because WE ALREADY ARE!

The "tribulation" that Yeshua` (Jesus) talked about in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 was a persecution, a pressure, a distress, placed upon the Isra'elites, whether they were believers or not. It began in the first century and will continue until Yeshua` returns. It is NOT a mere 7 years long. It has been about 1,946 years so far! The "7 years" is about the seventy Sevens of Dani'el 9:24-27, and the two are not the same thing!

For this pressure to be "shortened" does not mean that the total length of time is in any way reduced. It simply means that God would lessen the amount of time for each individual persecution within that total time. Instead, there would be breaks in the persecution so as not to overwhelm the Isra'elites and wipe them out. Therefore, we can look at history and see these individual persecutions with gaps of time in between them throughout the Roman persecutions, the Inquisitions, the Crusades, the Pogroms, and even the Holocaust in Europe. It's still going on with all the suicide bombings and terrorist activities happening against Isra'el by those who radically espouse Islam and have sworn to do their part to drive Isra'el into the sea!
