the Bible is totally, the inspired word of God. we know that by 2nd Timothy 3:16,17 & 2nd Peter 1:20,21. also, John 3:33 says, "he that hath received HIS testimony hath set to his seal that God is true". Christians that have received the testimony of God proves the Bible is the inspired word of God. Romans 8:16, "for the Spirit beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God".

Days of Noah and Lot
we won't even know we are in Tribulation for first couple years because life won't change from how it was before Tribulation began.
Noah preached every day until the Ark was completed and filled
we will be preaching about Pre-Trib Rapture in year 2 of the actual 7 year Tribulation.
look at the examples of Noah and Lot:
Life was normal every day until the Day of WRATH took place.
we will be here until BEFORE Wrath will be unleashed.
there is NO doctrine based off Tribulation.
there's only life is ONE WAY same ole same ole every day in life for the world and humanity and then SUDDENLY TRAGEDY STRIKES!!
LOOK at Covid:
just hit out of blue and IMMEDIATELY we were locked down.
normal day to day life and then Covid hits and it all changes.
we will be here for almost 2 years of the first 7 years of Tribulation.
why?
God is Pre-WRATH!!

God told Ezekiel to write, and He wrote "set thy face against the daughters of my people". I am not the one who put gender into this God did.
False Women Prophets
17Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, 18And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you? 19And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
20Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. 21Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 22Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: 23Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Watchman I am not trying to be smart mouthed or anything like that but God says in
Revelation 9
1And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4And 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. 5And 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. 6And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
This army of locusts could not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing neither any tree. Stop and thank what do the locust devour things with green leaves. Not these locust so are they really locust or something else? These locust go after men with the sting of a scorpion but not just any man but only those that have not “ do not have” the seal of God in there forehead. Stop and thank tap yourself on the forehead, what is back or behind it. Your brain so this locust can not hurt those with the seal of God in there brain only those without it. This is at the 5th trump if we were going to raptured away why would those of us with the seal of God in our forehead still be here?

Luke 21:34-36 KJV
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
[35] For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
[36] Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
worthy
to escape
all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The portion of 2Tim 3:16 below is deliberately misquoted. Watch for the
revision.
"All scripture is given by dictation"
Critics are quick to point out discrepancies in the four Gospels as rock-solid
irrefutable proof that they were not inspired because in their minds,
inspiration is all the same as dictation.
While true that portions of the Bible were dictated, the majority of it wasn't;
and when you have two or more witnesses telling the same story-- for
example the authors of Kings and Chronicles --it is rare indeed when they
perfectly match. In point of fact, when they are just a bit too verbatim;
experienced detectives suspect collusion.
Also: translations cannot be claimed to be by inspiration of God because it is
nigh unto impossible to move thoughts from one language into another
without having to make adjustments to the language and grammar of the
transfer. This is a crucial difficulty in some third world countries and
primitive societies where their vocabularies lack sufficient equivalent words.
And let's face it: the original manuscripts are long gone; lost in time. Even
the oldest among the manuscripts we have today-- a.k.a. the so-called
"better" manuscripts --cannot be guaranteed 100% true reproductions of the
originals. Caveat Lector.

he Return of the Son of Man
(Matthew 24:26-31; Mark 13:24-27)
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
All the things in verse 25&26 must happen before verse 27 AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING INA CLOUD WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY. 28 AND WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS, THEN LOOK UP, AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.
2 Thessalonians 2
1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Dear Saints,
I have found that Scripture answers Scripture; the word of God answers all questions related to itself! The bible is clear on the 2nd advent of Jesus Christ and how when He comes He will take the saints to heaven to be with Him (John 14:3; I Thes 4:15-18; Rev 22:12).
However, I believe the question being raised is when the tribulation will occur. The bible offers many examples to draw from besides scriptures that provide answers if we would accept them.
For example,
Noah and his family were saved from the flood, but they had to go through it.
Daniel was saved from being devoured in the Lion's den, but he went through it.
The three Hebrew boys (Shadraq, Meshak and Abendigo) were saved from the fiery furnace, but they went through it.
Israel and his twelve sons were preserved from the famine through Joseph, but they went through it.
The children of God in the last-days will also go through persecution and trials and see the devastation of the last seven plagues (Rev 15-16) on humanity; however, God will protect us as He did the Children of Israel when the ten plagues devastated the Egyptians, their enslavers. Keep in mind these plagues precedes Israel's deliverance from Egypt (Exodus 7:19-12:30), and Babylon falls just before Israel return from captivity.
I believe if we follow the examples, patterns and scripture provided in scripture, we must conclude their is no secret rapture, but a promised second coming of Jesus where all eyes will see Him and His reward is with Him to give to every man according to his work (Rev 1:7, 22:12).

1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Jesus one day shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and then the wrath of God shall be poured upon the Earth as Jesus puts down all rule, authority, and power, that people exercise on Earth exalting themselves.
Which the beast kingdom in Revelation is the kingdom of man in its entirety which they believe in no God, and the antichrist, New Age Christ, exalts himself above all by causing them to believe he evolved to be spiritual and godlike who is Lucifer controlling a human being.
Which the new age movement believes Lucifer is a god, and an alien, that wants to help mankind have peace on Earth, and eons ago brought the principle of mind to the then animal-man, and will cause them to evolve along with the New Age Christ to be spiritual and godlike.
The new age movement(1 Timothy 4:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:2-4), which will come out at the latter times, and the time will come people will only want to hear their interpretation of the Bible.
And it is here now.
Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Zec 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zec 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:
and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
The battle of Armageddon is when the nations attack Jerusalem, and Jews in general, and God comes back with the saints and defeats the world which all the saints come with Him so all of the saints must of been resurrected from the Earth to come back with Him.
Which when Jesus comes back the saints are with Him.
When the wrath of God is poured upon the Earth there is no saints on Earth but the Jews who Jesus will save at the battle of Armageddon.

When the wrath of God is poured upon the Earth there is no saints on Earth but the Jews who Jesus will save at the battle of Armageddon.
I believe that the rapture will occur, but the question is when it will happen. I believe that the Bible, God's inspired Word, teaches one second coming of Jesus, when he will descend to meet all believers in the air. He will come with the souls of believers who have died. The resurrection of all people will occur with the Final Judgment. He will create the new universe, in which we will live with God forever in our resurrected bodies. If it doesn't happen that way, I will still be praising God whatever way it happens.
From my perspective, (pre-trib) the Church is removed from the earth, then there will Tribulation, from my view once the church is removed, there will be two witnesses to the entire world preaching the Gospel, also there will be 144,000 witnesses there will be a great amount of people still being saved, the pictures you have like
to me are a brilliant picture of this, and notice how you pointed out they are three Hebrew boys, I totally agree with examples like this its a picture of Jewish believers that are preserved in the upcoming fiery period.
Yet I also believe the verses that say the Church is not appointed to wrath, also it seems illogical to me for God, to supernaturally endow two witnesses with power, and to seal another 144,000 as witnesses when we already have a witness on earth, the Church!
Wait, if the Church has been caught up to the Lord pre tribulation then it makes perfect sense.
Waiting till the end of tribulation, then catching all believers up into the air, transformed into their glorified eternal bodies and turning around to come back to earth seconds later makes zero sense to me.
Believers that survive till the end of the tribulation can enter into the land of Israel and repopulate, along with the nations from a pre-trib perspective.

And, that is one of the 'assumption' mistakes that pre-trib folks make - thinking that it will [only] be "seconds later"...
It will be at least some-number-of-hours later - while the 'Wrath of God' is "poured out upon the earth" (7 vials) - not to mention that Armageddon must also transpire during that time (could possibly add days to the total - maybe, maybe not) - before Jesus Himself "touches down" on the earth.

I believe in the rapture, that is meeting Christ in the air. But after that I cannot for the life of me understand the sequence of events. The only thing I am sure about is the Wheat Harvest which occurs at Pentecost/Shavuot. Those who understand the Feasts of the LORD will know when this event is to occur and will be ready, even though they fall asleep while waiting. Those who have no clue about the Feasts of the LORD, will not be ready and speaking of the five foolish virgins, will go to buy for themselves when the Bridegroom arrives, only to return and be told "I know you not".
One theory I have is this - May 25, 2020 - is the 1) Anniversary of the Mt. Sinai covenant on Pentecost/Shavuot/Feast of Weeks. 2) The day George Floyd died at the hands of an abusive officer. Riots broke out around the world, about 60 nations protested. 3) The Jews call this day "Day of Distinction".
Add 2300 days to May 25, 2020 and it falls on September 11, 2026. This is the date the two witnesses would begin.
Add 1260 days or 3 1/2 years for the two witnesses and 1256 days to 1260 days (3 1/2 days lay dead) it falls on February 18-21, 2030. February 18, 2030 is Adar 15/Purim. Those who observe this Purim holiday traditionally give gifts. Revelation 11:10 - And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. Rev_11:6 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.
Add 1335 days to February 21, 2030 and it falls on October 18, 2033/Tishrei 23, which is the day after the Last Great Eighth day/Tishrei 22, the last feast after Feast of Sukkot/Tabernacles.
Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Great!
We heard from a so-called "prophecy expert" on another forum that
"he was one of the two witnesses, sold out, bought sackcloth," and
was "to be doing God's powerful work" - his "date" supposedly was:
March 05, 2023? We haven't heard from him since...
Our question is Why do these people continue to speculate, calculate,
And guess (embarassingly) about the end times when there is over a
1900-year "track record" which shows us a 100% Failure rate?
("bad works"?)
How is that getting anyone "prepared for judgment"? We're not
against studying end times and learning, but:
Isn't it more Important to get out the Gospel Of Grace, And to teach
and equip new-born babes (who would "choke," getting Confused
{on theories?} of the [end times] meat Of The Word) with how to be:
"Approved Unto God" so they also can have "good works" for
judgment, at the rapture?:
Amen! More study is here:
Please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged And Edified In
The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And His Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided (+ I and II).
Grace, Peace, And JOY!… + RICH Blessings
