What if the great tribulation happens to the earth now?

I had a dream once that I was in a concentration camp, but to be fair it was after I read the book of Corrie ten Boom and I was the only one who was there willingly. I could leave if I wanted to. They lead us outside and we had to walk with a huge amount of people in a row and I started to tell them all the Gospel and they got saved and then I saw we were walking towards a valley where we would get killed and then I saw the head lines from the next day papers: so many killed and I thought: but they don't know that we'll all be in heaven.

Ken Peters had a dream that his head was cut off in the trib and Jesus held his hand and he felt nothing.

@Renskedejonge We can have vivid dreams indeed' from the context of Matthew 24 ad Luke 21 I don't think it's the church that is going through the Great Tribulation: even though indeed day by day the Lord Jesus as per John 16.33 strengthens us through the tribulations of life.

Absolutely nothing different than I do now.

BTW what rapture, or which  rapture?

Maybe put in a concentration camp -for your own good, of course- because you are a Christian.

It is happening already in North Korea, else where they just shoot or beat one to death.

Fun to speculate but not time yet for the great tribulation. The Church which has all power all authority over the enemy. For me seems we have to be gone then the holy spirit is taken out of the way and we see the lawless one come out in the open.

Hi,

Maybe, maybe not, yet the mission commanded by God is the very same is it not?  So why will a Christian do anything different today or tomorrow as compared with all the yesterdays?

We are cautioned that there are enemies within Christianity that will say  go this way and change that way, but what is the message shared throughout the entirety of the Bible ?

Jesus is Lord and in Him by His faith alone many are saved out from destruction to be with God eternally. So stay the course, and be calm.

Having it and using it are two different things, at least so it seems to me.

And we don't seem to be using it much lately.

But I suppose that would be a different discussion.

Hey.. since I don't think Susan will be replying any time soon I didn't address "what should you do". She started this with "if" which is doubting and then speculation.

No matter your understanding of eschatology, always be looking unto Jesus, hold fast to the Head of the Body, Jesus, focus on Him and you`ll be safe. 

If on the other hand people who say they are believers but are so busy about their lives and not looking to Jesus they will go into the tribulation and will hopefully then turn to God, but they will probably end up part of the Great Multitude who die of hunger, heat &/or thirst. (Rev. 7: 9 & 16)

Their inheritance is the new earth, (palm branches / tabernacles) while the Body of Christ`s inheritance is in glory with the Lord, the third heaven. (Rev. 3: 21)
