Subject: Pre Tribulation rapture? |
Bible Note: The ones that will suffer the wrath of God are going to be those that are left after the rapture takes place, with the exception of the 144,000 that have the seal of God in their forehead. 2 Thes. 1:4-10 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; Don’t confuse the tribulation that Paul speaks of here with the tribulation that we will face. The tribulation that is referred to here is explained in the following verse and it’s a vengeance of fire from God. 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. The grafiting back in, that will take place, of the Jews is from the 144,000 that are protected in the Rev.7. The times of the gentile will be over, just as Paul talked of in Romans. Rev. 7:2-4 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
