there's no understanding on how some Christians believe they will be here during the tribulation because that is impossible. if someone is a born again Christian & you are alive at rapture time, you will be raptured up BEFORE the tribulation. ( 1st Thessalonians 4: 13-18, 5:9, Romans 5:8,9 ) what's the sense in being born again if you are on earth during the tribulation? what are you saved from? the answer is nothing. also, what sense does it make for atheists & believers to both be here during the tribulation? there's no difference. might as well follow the devil & do what you want. ( by no means, a suggestion ). you're not saved from anything.
“there's no understanding on how some Christians believe they will be here during the tribulation because that is impossible”
“For
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first: 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.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
“you're not saved from anything”
“Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we
shall be saved from wrath through him.”
Romans 5:9
You’re confusing tribulation with Gods wrath yet to come
“I John, who also am
your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 1:9 KJV
“These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them.
And these things
I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 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.”
John 16:1-4, 33 KJV
“And not only so, but
we glory in tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;”
Romans 5:3 KJV
“Be sober, be vigilant; because
your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that
the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
1 Peter 5:8-9
There’s no promise that we’re going to avoid tribulation but Gods enduring wrath that comes in the end in a lake of fire
He taught then they would definately face the tribulations he explained tbey would face and then promised to deliver thier everlasting souls if they stood strong in faith
“And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And
ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.”
Matthew 10:21-22 KJV
“But
he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”
Matthew 24:13 KJV
there’s a ton about these subjects but it all lines up perfectly with a post tribulation “ rapture “ which isn’t even a biblical term but a reference to Jesus return from heaven and raising the dead and then gathering his people to himself before he destroys everything else with fire and brimstone
“and to you who are troubled rest with us, when
the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
when he shall come to be glorified in his saints,
and to be admired in all them that believe in that day.”
2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 KJV
That day jesus and his apostles warned is coming when the desd will be raised and everyone still alive and believing will be caught up together with the dead who were raised up to be with Jesus as he returns
“the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:”
believers will still be alive in the last generation many will rise up from the dead also believers of all generations since Christ came
