Question: 1 Cor 15:51-53 is for starters.... You have to have a deeper meaning of scripture that tells us we are NOT appointed to God’s wrath... Revelation 3:10.... So, if we are not appointed to God’s wrath like Lot and Noah, as well as Enoch as he was translated.... Why would Jesus want His Bride ( Believers) to be beaten up and battered before the consummation.... (i.e.) Marriage Supper of the Lamb.... of which the church will be having in heaven, while the tribulation period is taking place below... So, just like Noah was lifted UP by the water as the judgement was taking place below... Just as Lot was taken out of Sodom by Angels before God’s judgement fell on Sodom and destroyed it...so will be the Church taken up before the 7 years Tribulation? What is your take on it?
Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!
1 Cor 15:51-53, is not just for starters, but for spiritual adults, who can spot both the resurrection of Rapture and also the second coming in it, as the principle of rising again to immortality is described by Paul unlike in 1 Thess 4:14-18 where Rapture is only exclusively described by Paul to the Church.
Revelation 3:10, describes "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth." (NKJV), which again points to the worldwide Great Tribulation and not the normal Tribulation that Christian's have faced for the past two thousand years time (Rev 2:10: Matt 13:21; 24:9, 29; John 16:33).
The unprecedented tribulation is Great Tribulation only, all other tribulations have continued for the last two thousand years time. Why should God save the Church of his Bride from the usual tribulation which is used by God in His will as a preparation and training grounds of sanctification, and thereafter be qualified for various positional rewards in heaven.
I believe that the first three and half years of Daniel 70th week will be a time of great deception of prosperity and safety, a test to overcome the temptation of lukewarm life, the other obedient good choice towards God is instead to watch and pray to be counted worthy in the Lord to escape the Great Unprecedented Worldwide Tribulation that Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour foretold us in his Word. God's WRATH starts with Trumpet and ends with Armageddon. Bowls of wrath happen just before Armageddon to give the world a last chance to repent and be saved. The seals are the outline of what will happen during the entire seven years. These seals are not the wrath of God, but rather a prelude and a clue Jesus Christ has personally given to the worshiping Church to identify the events of Daniel 70th week, that takes place under his control and command in the spiritual realm. It is given so that we as Saints might understand, that the Book of Revelation. 6:17: "For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?" (NKJV), reveals contextually, both the ongoing judgment through the establishment of the throne of the lamb on earth for a thousand years time and also the separation of the believers and unbelievers, and the wrath of the lamb revealed to the whole world through the judgment of nations (Matt 25:1-46). In it, all the unbelievers will be sent directly to hell fire for having received the 666 seal of Antichrist (Rev 6:16).
THE MILLENNIUM OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND GLORIOUS RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS IN THIS PRESENT EARTH BY JESUS CHRIST AND THE CHURCH, WILL BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND GLORIOUS THING TO BEHOLD BY HUMANITY AT THAT POINT OF TIME!
Glory to God!
