The Sealed Church Will Go Through The Future Tribulation, Divinely Protected By God!
- Gods wrath/judgement will not come upon the "Sealed Believers" during the tribulation.
Revelation 9:3-5 below shows that the plague of torment for 5 months, will only be brought upon those "Not Sealed" by God, it was "Commanded"!
All believers in Jesus Christ are "Sealed" by God the Holy Spirit, the believer is protected, Eph 1:13, 4:30
Ephesians 1:13KJV
13 in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 4:30KJV
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Revelation 9:3-5KJV
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
- Below we see God's divine protection, if the world try's to harm a believer, they in return will be harmed!
Revelation 13:9-10KJV
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 Is The "Last Day" Resurrection!
The dead in Christ are resurrected and the living caught up at the Lords return, this takes place "Immediately after the tribulation"
Let's take a look at the most "Popular" scripture used by dispensationalist to claim a Pre-Trib rapture, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17KJV
In The 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 below you see the "Resurrection" of the dead in Christ, this Takes place in the "Last Day" John 6:39-40, immediately after the tribulation Matthew 24:29-31.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17KJV
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: andthe dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The resurrection seen in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 above takes place on the "Last Day" at the return of Jesus Christ.
This is not a "Pre-Tribulation Rapture" as is falsely taught in dispensationalism.
John 6:39-40KJV
39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Below we see the return of Jesus Christ and the "Last Day Resurrection" same event as 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 above, this takes place "Immediately After The Tribulation"
Matthew 24:29-31KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
The future 3.5 year tribulation is going to be a remake of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt, the "Two Witnesses" will stand against the Antichrist for this entire 3.5 years, bringing all plagues as often as they will, the sealed believers are protected, just as the Hebrews were protected in Egypt.
"All Plagues" As Often As They Will
Revelation 11:2-6KJV
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
