Greetings Cmfrantz, You ask: "How would the church be able to be refined, to become that perfect bride for Jesus if we don't go through the tribulation?" Perhaps the single most dividing issue in regards to the differing main viewpoints of eschatology center around the possibility of Christians going through persection: will we? Pretribulationism is the view that Christ will rapture the entire church before any part of the Tribulation begins (see "Left Behind" Series). Posttribulationism is the view that Christ will rapture the church after the Tribulation. Midtribulationism is the view that Christ will rapture the church in the middle of the Tribulation period. I don't believe that Christians really should spend any time arguing about when the rapture occurs, but I do believe that Christians would be well served in examining the Biblical evidence to come to a conviction on their own on this issue. Scripture does say that the church is not appointed to wrath (Romans 5:9; 1 Thess. 1:9-10, 5:9; 2 Peter 2:5-9), but I believe that this 'great day of wrath' spoken of in Rev. 6:17 is God's wrath, which takes place on the seventieth week. The Bible is clear that those who confess Christ can expect to be persecuted for their faith (Psalm 119:157,161; Matt. 5:10-12,44, 10:23, 13:21, 23:34; Mark 10:30; Luke 11:49, 21:12; John 15:20; Acts 8:1, 11:19, 13:50, 22:4; Romans 8:35, 12:14; 1 Cor. 4:12; 2 Cor. 4:9, 12:10; 2 Thess. 1:4; 2 Tim. 3:12. Therefore, since the Bible says that "all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted," we are by no means exempt from being persecuted for our faith at any time, and we could very well go through the Tribulation period. Blessings to you, Makarios |

In regards to Romans 5:9--The wrath would be the Bowls, wouldnt it? If the last trumpet is the 7th trumpet then we would be raptured before the bowls start. The bowls being Gods wrath. The seals, trumpets, and the bowls are all taking place in the sevenieth week. This week being the tribulation. I am only stating with how I am understanding it thus far. I am open to listen to other theorys. | ||||||

Hi cmfrantz When dealing with the book of The Revelation, it is best to keep in mind, what Jesus said. Because people have been trying to figure it all out for 2000 yrs. Were not meant to know until it happens. Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Anyway back to your question, where does this vers fit with all of the calculations of the trumpets and the seventieth week. Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Wasn't Daniel's prophesy fulfilled in Christ? If so then couldn't it be possible "we" are in the last week? What I mean is the entire church period, from the Ascension to His glorious return, could be TRIBULATION:-) Vintage68 |
