Those who enter the seven year tribulation? Yes. But for those unbelievers who die before the seven year tribulation there will not be a second chance. They died without Jesus Christ. Question: "Will there be a second chance for salvation after the Rapture?" Answer: Some Bible interpreters believe that there will be absolutely no chance for salvation after the Rapture. However, there is no place in the Bible which says this or even hints to it. There will be many people who come to Christ during the Tribulation. The 144,000 Jewish witnesses (Revelation 7:4) are Jewish believers. If no one can come to Christ during the Tribulation, then why are people being beheaded for their faith (Revelation 20:4)? No passage of Scripture argues against people having a chance to be saved after the Rapture. Many passages indicate the opposite. Another view is that those who hear the gospel and reject it before the Rapture cannot be saved. Those saved during the Tribulation, then, are those who had never heard the gospel before the Rapture. The “proof text” for this view is 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11, which says the Antichrist will work miracles to deceive “those who are perishing” and that God Himself will “send them a powerful delusion” to confirm them in their unbelief. The reason given is that “they refused to love the truth and so be saved” (verse 10). Granted, those who are hard-hearted toward the gospel before the Rapture are likely to remain so. And the Antichrist will deceive many (Matthew 24:5). But “those who refused to love the truth” does not necessarily refer to people who heard the gospel before the Rapture. It could be anyone who wholly rejects God’s salvation, at any time. So, there is no clear scriptural evidence to support this view. Revelation 6:9-11 speaks of those martyred during the Tribulation “because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained.” These martyrs will correctly interpret what they see during the Tribulation and will believe the gospel themselves and call on others to repent and believe as well. The Antichrist and his followers will not tolerate their evangelism and will kill them. All of these martyrs are people who were alive before the Rapture, but who were not believers until afterward. Therefore, there must be opportunity to come to Christ in faith after the Rapture. https://www.gotquestions.org/second-chance-rapture.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the born again Christians today were once lukewarm believers. It is grace and mercy. But most of those believers during the seven year tribulation or tribulation saints will die because of their belief. They will die for Christ.

Those believers who do make it to the end,and there will be very few, will have to go underground which would be extremely dangerous. At the end of the tribulation the goats(the unbelievers) and the sheep (the believers) will be separated Matthew 25:31-46. The goats will be sent to Hades and the sheep will be allowed to go into the 1000 year millennium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I believe it is Revelation 16:9 ? where those in the tribulation hearts are hardened. But the first 31/2 years many will come to Christ.

The ones who go under Gods wrath will only keep hardening the heart . I got some serious advice God has said, He abandons the generation of his wrath . Many true lambs will die in the tribulation under anti Christ , its written he has power to overcome and kill them. But , which is worse , the wrath of man or the wrath of GOD. WHEN JESUS RETURNS if we aint caught up with him CRY , cause it will be TOO LATE . ONLY the WRATH OF GOD will remain . Its a one time event. the early church knew it . IF when JESUS Returns you were not ready, ITS TOO LATE FOREVER . and they KNEW THAT . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
