Bible Question: Will the saved Christians leave this world before the tribulation starts or will we go thru it |
Bible Answer: Greetings Shell! Revelation 3:10 indicates that believers will be kept from the actual hour of testing that is coming on the whole world.. Now, this question and how anyone answers your question will ultimately depend on a person's individual interpretation of eschatology. I believe that: Yes, Christians will go through the Tribulation (Matt. 24:29-35, Rev. 7:14), but will be raptured in the middle of it (1 Thess. 4:17). But the worst part of the Tribulation (God's wrath) will be saved for those who do not believe (Matthew 24:21). In result, my view (that I believe is thoroughly supported by Scripture), can be described as a "mid-tribulation" view or even a "pre-wrath" point of view. Blessings to you, Nolan |
