1 | Tribulation before rapture? | Matthew | CDBJ | 35446 | ||
zach, the coming of the Lord in the Greek isn't a verb but a noun, it isn't an action but an event. Just emphasizing the words (the last trump in this event) and how the trump plays out, in other Scriptures and you will see it is what we commonly call the rapture. Check out the trump!! Matthew 24:31 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. 1 Cor. 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In 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. 1 Thes. 4:15-17 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. 16For 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: 17Then 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. This sure sounds like the rapture to me no matter which way you slice it. CDBJ |

CDBJ; I agree completely. But the question I initially asked was .... Does the tribulation precede the rapture. or does the rapture precede the tribulation. Please look at Matthew 24:29-31 before answering. Grace and peace zach† |

3 | Tribulation before rapture? | Matthew | CDBJ | 35452 | ||
The tribulation is actually cut short by the rapture according to everything that I see. The moment after the Lord takes us up from the Earth he is going to pour out his wrath on those left behind. Just like in the days of Noah and Lot, the believers were removed then WHAM. 2 Thes. 1:6-10 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power 10on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. The (when) at the beginning of verse 10 gives the timing of the rapture and the beginning of God's wrath on the earth. |

CDBJ The question I would ask is: Why does Matthew 24:29 say: Immediately after the tribulation, if what is meant is immediately after the mid-point of the tribulation? Grace and peace zach† |

It isn't the mid point it is the end. The object of the great tribulation is being removed. The world is thrown into panic by great disturbance in the heavens. Every one on the earth is looking up because of all the trouble. Believers are told to look up, the unbelievers will look up and see the Lord coming the they will be scrambling into the rocks and caves to hide from him. Joel 2:10 Before them the earth quakes, The heavens tremble, The sun and the moon grow dark, And the stars lose their brightness. Acts 2:20 'THE SUN SHALL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS, AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME. Rev. 1:7 BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. Even so. Amen. Joel 2:31 "The sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. The key is in the word BEFORE. Rev. 6:12-17 And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14And the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15And the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17for the great day of their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?" All the great tribulation up to this point has been focused on the believer by the adversary. Rev. 12:12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." The short time is his last days to torment believers. |
