In fact if you want to read more about that verse read Rev 20. It will plainly show you when this happens. At the second coming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they do not say it will be pre-trib.. The only timing given in the Bible about the rapture is that it will happen at the last trump.. 1 Corinthians 15: KJV 50 "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. {51} Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." The book of Revelations reveal that there will be 7 trumpets and the last one is below.. Revelation 10: 7 "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Adstar what people believe about the pre-rapture is not really a matter of salvation but it's still good to discuss but I do respect people who believe different, Revelation 3:10 10 ‘Because you have kept the word of My 1perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 1 Thessalonians 1:10 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 5:9 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. Ephesians 5:6 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Colossians 3:4 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this verse was given to the church of Philadelphia in the first century.. So indeed Jesus kept them from the hour of testing.. Also it is not clear what the hour of testing signifies.. Quote 1 Thessalonians 1:10 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. I agree with this verse Angels4U.. God will keep all of us from suffering any of His wrath .. But we are called upon to endure tribulation which comes from satan and his servants on earth as Jesus told us.. John 16: KJV 33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." God is well able to protect His people when He carries out His wrath upon the servants of satan:: Psalms 91: KJV 7 "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. {8} Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. {9} Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; {10} There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. {11} For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. {12} They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone." Quote Colossians 3:4 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. Yes indeed, and I believe He shall be Revealed on the Day of His second coming.. On that day Christians who are alive and remain will be caught up into the clouds to meet him in the air and they shall be transformed in a twinkling of an eye into our glorious eternal form nd we shall be coming right back down to earth to rule the nations of the earth with Jesus for 1000 years.. 1 Corinthians 15: KJV {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed Edited June 3, 2018 by Adstar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colossians 3:4 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. Amen. Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Lets look at each of these verses which you mistakenly believe provide support for a pre-trib rapture of the church. Revelation 3:10 If you identify who is being tested in the hour of temptation you will see that it must be the period of God's wrath focused upon the earth dwellers. This is the day of the Lord not the great tribulation. 1 Thessalonians 1:10 We are waiting for our gathering unto Him which comes between the great tribulation (wrath of Satan) and the day of the Lord (the wrath of God). 1 Thessalonians 5:9 The wrath that we are not appointed unto is that which comes suddenly on the day of the Lord. This is seen in context in verses 2 and 3. Romans 5:9 The wrath here is that which is experienced by those who reject Christ, it involves eternal conscious torment. Ephesians 5:6 The wrath of God upon unbelievers. Colossians 3:4 At Christ's appearing we will appear with Him. We sure will, that's when we are gathered to Him by the angels. Have you ever considered that pretribulationism is the only eschatological model that has believers experiencing the wrath of God. (Even the post-tribbers believe that God keeps the believer through or in His wrath). Yes I know that you consider these believers "tribulation saints" and since you don't consider yourself part of them therefore it's OK with you that those saints suffer the wrath of God. That is so inconsistent with how God has dealt with His own. Noah was safe in the ark before God's judgement fell upon the earth dwellers in his day. Even Lot was taken out of Sodom before the fire and brimstone destroyed the cities of the plane. On the other hand the Lord did nothing to intervene when Nero was feeding our brethren to the lions and using them to light his gardens. The Lord also did not intervene to prevent the martyrdom of millions of believers over the past hundred years. The Scriptures are very clear, He removes His own before His wrath is poured out, but He allows us the honor of suffering persecution for His name sake so that we may be glorified with Him.

But that said, we are promised in Scripture to not be made to suffer God's wrath; that is exactly what the tribulation is Not really. Two different greek words. Two different meanings. Might be worth a word study. If you're seeking understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
