Christians Live During Tribulation
Will we go through the great tribulation?
Moderator - Going against the popular teachings of today, I believe Christians will go through some part of the Great Tribulation, but not during God's judgement period.

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, ---EVEN NOW--- are there many ---ANTICHRISTS---, whereby we know that it is the ---THE LAST TIME---.
1 John 2:19 ---THEY WENT OUT FROM US---, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
John ---6:66--- From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

You people who base your whole religion on revelation, I wonder if you have ever read in revelation that it was to the seven churches in Asia. And would come to pass quickly. There were more churches in the world than just the seven churches in Asia. So why do you apply their prophecies to your age that you live in because the prophecy was to them not you and had to be fulfilled in their Age or it would not have been true. What Good is a prophecy to someone that they do not see come to pass.
A prophecy to someone is to prove that God is right and you are not. Or to prove Gods judgment. The prophecy proves nothing if it was to them and it comes to pass for you. |

I am a mid-trib person also. After about the 5th or 6th chapter of REV. the church is no longer mentioned and I believe that is during the middle of trib. I used to be pre-trib until I really studied it. |

doesnt everybody go through some sort of tribulation to get to GOD or if they were lucky enough to be raised by there parents with GOD dont they go through some sort of self made tribulation in there walk with GOD, isnt that what shapes you into the person you are your own failed attempts, to altimatly realize you must just follow GOD, listen to GOD, be obident to GOD to be fully happy, joyful, wise, see your perpose as human being being unvailed to you as you walk in his will and not yours. |

People today are all frogs they believe the frog doctrine. The frog doctrine affects them like putting a bullfrog in a pan of water. If the water is hot the frog will jump out. but if you put him in cold water and gradually turn up the heat, he being cold blooded, his body temperature regulates with the water and he will set in the water till he boils to death. You are in tribulation and are sitting like boiling frogs.
Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. |

thank you i have been baptized in the spirit and am now working on forgiveness, selflessness, and obidenence to GOD'S voice inside me, sometime i confuse my own voice with his. thank you for your words of wisdom |

(second part) the bible says you must forgive to gain forgiveness therefore i am begining to seek the face of the lord to give me the strenght and curage to forgive. in a perfect world if someone does you wrong and you trully forgive them and ask GOD to lift there judgement for there sin against you they are nolonger in the wrong and you yourself can be forgiven by GOD, that also means thats one less slach or beating jesus had to get before he was crusified (continued) |

(third part) now i know that had nothing to do with this blog just felt some needed to hear it. As far as your blog subject if all will go to youtube and CAREFULLY watch all parts of "daniel's timeline" your blog would change from what you believe to what you should do to prepare GOD is comming and i believe the tribulation has allready begun. please know the first couple parts of daniel's time line is alittle boring but it is showing hebrew definitions and scripture to back up the message when you get to the message your jaw will be dropping. all parts will take about a hour and a half to watch. (continued) |

---jason on 1/1/10 Yes Jason you need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit You receive power as you get more of God's Spirit to help you over come your flesh and receive divine revelation in the scripture to know the truth.
You will receive gifts of the Spirit as God sees fit to empower you but you must realize that you already have the Holy Spirit inside of you The baptism of the Holy Spirit is you being immersed in the Holy spirit and having him on the outside. |

Learn the definition of metaphor. Metaphors are the language of the Spirit. If you take metaphors and interpret them literally you will have false doctrine. Jesus said go into your closet to pray. He was using a metaphor to give you the correct method of prayer. Saying to not pray just to be heard of men. But be real in your prayer life. He did not mean to literally go into your closet.
Stop believing manipulated scriptures that men have used to create fairytale doctrines. There is no doctrine of the great tribulation. There is only tribulation and it will always be upon the earth.
Acts 14:22 and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. |

Some Christians will also go thru the "great tribulation" of Israel. Specifically, 144,000 Jewish believers. They endure the time of wrath because of the special seal of God upon them. Hence, Christians will be on the earth before the pre-trib rapture, after the rapture (during the trib.) and also during the time of wrath right up until Jesus returns to Olivet. Will WE go through the tribulation?? Not if we're ready to face what's coming upon the whole world. Otherwise, yes. It's good to remember that Daniel did not waver when the test came. He refused the king's edict and for 30 days he worshipped as he always had. How many Christians today would gladly give up their daily devotions for just 30 days? Foolish?? |

There is a "great tribulation" for the church, and a "great tribulation" for Israel. The saints who go through the great tribulation of the church are made up of those Christians who were not ready to occupy heaven at the time of the (pre-trib) rapture. The tribulation will purify them and make them ready. Other "tribulation saints" will be those who are saved during this time. Therefore, like the five foolish virgins, many Christians who are not ready will go through the "great tribulation |

Stop looking for the Antichrist, the tribulation and the Rapture. Jesus sent two Angels to the 500 that stood waiting for his return after he ascended and asked them Why stand ye here gazing up?, get about the business that Jesus left you to do. Jesus will return just as he left, but it is possible he will return for some of you today, Will he find faith in you to believe his word, or you walking in the Spirit, Are you the temple of God and have you come out to be separate not joining yourself to sinners and ideas of the world. Have you taken up your cross or do your lips praise him but your heart is far from him.
There are more important matters than doctrines you cannot prove. Hold to what you can prove. |

I would like to point out that Christians can live on earth and not suffer the wrath of GOD. Remeber that the wrath of GOD fell on Egypt while Israel did not suffer the wrath of GOD.
The point about many interpretations is true. My main concern is that many will fall for the Antichrist's lies because they believe they do not have to worry about him. |

Mark_Eaton
>>>>I would love to hear how you link your Scriptures together to prove that Rev. 6:17 is not the start of God's wrath when it so clearly says that it is<<<
I never said it isn't!
But WHEN this occurs is open to debate. (I think we've been over this before).
Some take the point of view of a church undergoing persecution in the future from the antichrist... but the timing of the wrath of God varies from one prophesy "expert" to another.
Some see the book of Revelation as a history of the church. Some see it as the history of Israel.The preterist sees how Revelation explains the persecution under the Roman empire.
We don't know for sure. it's a matter of interpretation. |

Donna,
I would love to hear how you link your Scriptures together to prove that Rev. 6:17 is not the start of God's wrath when it so clearly says that it is. |
|
---Mark_Eaton on 8/20/09 |
Mark Eaton--
I respectfully submit that what you say is your interpretation (just as my post was mine) End-time prophesy scriptures can be linked in a variety of ways. No one can know for sure because the Bible does not make it clear. |

Donna:
I think you have the sequence of the events in the Tribulation a little askew.
You said and I agree that we (believers) are not destined for the wrath of God but you said the first part of the Trbulation using the Mark of the Beast as an example.
The wrath of God starts much earlier than that.
Rev 6:17 "for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?".
Everything that follows the Seals is the wrath of God. |
|
---Mark_Eaton on 8/19/09 |
Giselle and others ---I agree with the moderator. The tribulation (at least the first part) is NOT the wrath of God poured out upon Christians (whom Scripture says are not destined for wrath.) It cannot be, because the ones who suffer are those who refuse the mark of the beast, remaining faithful to God. Satan is the one who is
furious! |
|
---Donna66 on 8/18/09 |
The tribulation spoken of is unlike anything that Christiandom has ever witnessed.It concerns the elected people,and God's wrath upon them.God tells us that the NT churches have fallen and are idolatrous.The elect have participated in this lewdness when we should have known better.We must now pay recompense.God has given the NT churches over to Satan,where he now sits and is worshipped as God.The elect have been commanded by God to leave these NT churches,never to return.The people of God now wait in the wilderness,chastised of God.God has removed His Spirit from the NT churches and has stripped the elected people of the power of the Gospel.Salvation has been closed forevermore.The churches have twisted the Word of God to suit their needs. |
|
---Giselle on 8/18/09 |
Please look at MATTHEW 24 again in chronological order-the elect is us-going through much suffering-After the suffering is 6th sign-JESUS apearing to get us. it's called post tribulation rapture from His word.
In Revelations-the dragon goes after the womans children-Christians.
Another "inset" refers-to them coming out of great tribulation
"Fleeing" Israel goes to Bozrah. Maybe we might have to go to Israel if persecution..
Put in chronological order -Bible. |

#5 If we do not listen to His voice today in smaller matters, how shall we ever hear that particular "shout of command" to be raised or translated? The second order or rank will be called out before the middle of the tribulation. There will still be those that will be saved during this period and they may go through more of the tribulation. The seven churches of Revelation 2,3 reveal the ranks in the body of Christ. |
|
---Debbie_Jo on 3/21/08 |
#6 The Philadelphia Church are those that are alive at the time of His return in I Thes. The Smyrna church are those that have passed on in this glorious group, which meet up with those that are alive and together, they make up the first group, or the Sun glory group. The Pergamos and the Sardis Churches make up the 2nd group or rank which is the moon glory group, the 3rd rank or order will be the 144,000 and the 4th will come out of the Laodicean Church, they will go through much of the tribulation. |
|
---Debbie_Jo on 3/21/08 |
#1 There are some believers that will go through some of the tribulation and there is a small group that will be taken out prior to the tribulation. " I Cor. 15:22, 23 - The word "order" is from the Greek word, "tasso," meaning, "to arrange, put in order, draw up in line," and is translated "corps, division, band, rank, cohort." "All made alive," but not made alive in only one group, but each in his own band, or rank." |
|
---Debbie_Jo on 3/21/08 |
#2 This has to mean different, distinct companies, or it is meaningless. Distinction is made IN the resurrection, not afterwards. Saints will be raised in different grades, because they are in different companies before they die. The majority of believers are carnal, few are really spiritual. It has truly been said, "Saints are finding their ranks now." People determine their respective orders by the way they live here. |
|
---Debbie_Jo on 3/21/08 |
#3 "As all die in Adam" (but they do not all die at the same moment), "so all in Christ shall be made alive" (but not necessarily all in the same moment). "Christ the first-fruit," over 2000 years ago, "afterward they that are Christ's at His coming." The phrase, "at His coming," literally means, "in the presence of Him," which covers a period of time extending from the moment He takes His throne in the air until the end of the Millennium. |
|
---Debbie_Jo on 3/21/08 |
#4 During the early part of that "presence", the saints will be raised in different companies, and the dead and living saints in the same order or rank will be changed and caught up to meet Christ in the air when He shall call with a "shout of command" at the sound of the 1st trump. The first order or rank will be called out 30 days prior to the beginning of the tribulation period. |

---Debbie_Jo on 3/21/08 |
The pathetic, apathetic Laodicean church will be caught off guard.
I recommend Marv Rosenthal's "Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church" book.
Many believers ARE preparing spiritually, financially, and physically. Food, supplies, small home groups, QUIETLY preparing.
Pray about what the Lord would have you do to prepare, not that we should survive it but that God will be able to USE US through it.
On April 2008, the world population, "the number of man" will be 6,666,666,666. |

---Mary_Kay on 3/21/08 |
I believe we will definitely go through the great tribulation.I Thessalonians 4:13-17 tells us "the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice if the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first."
17, "Then 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." |

Jesus stated that when you see rumours of wars and earthquakes in various places these are the begining of sorrows but the end has not come yet. We will go through the birth pains or the contractions of the tribulation but we will not go through the birth of it because the Holy Spriit or the church will be taken up. |
|
---Marcia on 7/6/07 |
The terms 7th trumpet and last trump make it pretty clear that the Lord shall return after the tribulation. During it all who have been deceiving and deceived shall fall away because they weren't prepared by the false prophets they trusted. The worst form of deceit is when they find they deceived themselves to think they were saved only to find out they didn't have faith to diligently seek the truth which could have sanctified them as Jesus said. Many need to repent and be led of the Spirit.

At this time this is what I will add: When God takes all His people out of this world, the Holy Spirit will go, and you do not want to be here. This is for certain. |
|
---catherine on 7/5/07 |
I agree with Moderator. Here's why. If God removes all of the TRUE Christians, then the Holy Spirit goes with us, right? Because HE abides in us, and if we go, HE goes, amen? So who will be here to witness to the ones left behind? |
|
---Donna9759 on 7/5/07 |
If I am here when the Rapture takes place, I think that it will be so much fun. Just think, The Power of God, That I am learning to respect in all it's magnificency. We will see it. Oh WOW. |
|
---catherine on 2/18/07 |
people don't forget that scripture is not always literal,a lot of scripture is spiritual and symbolic.hence Jesus'teaching thru parables.these parables are both literal and spiritual so see what the rapture says spiritually,what spiritual symbol are the 2witnesses and the 144thousand and so on.Pray and study for yourself,don't always take someone elses interpretation as truth,check it out for yourself |
|
---chestnut_burr on 2/18/07 |
I think that the argument about the "when we are raptured" is fruitless. We as christians should be trying to reach as many unsaved people with the Good News as we can! We should be trying to set up or leave a support network for those who accept Christ during the tribulation. Of course the Lord will guide them, there will be the two witnessess and the 144000 jewish converts that will reach millions yet they will still need whatever aid we can leave them. |

My understanding is that those who have accepted Christ before the trib will be raptured. Those who then get saved will suffer. The 7 years only refers to the length of the treaty, NOT the time from the rapture until His return. |
|
---Anna on 6/8/06 |
the word states that all christians go through some kind of tribulation by which we enter the kingdom of God,Knowing that my fellow christians have suffered death and torture in the centuries before me and they were not delivered from such tribulation, I will not preach some wimpy escapism doctrine, that is believed by those who have no backbone to stand as a witness for Christ in that day that he said would come when our Father would speak through us to our accusers. |
|
---exzucuh on 6/7/06 |
I would appreciate if any of you can compel me to believe that we are going to Heaven to be with JESUS. I am of the belief that JESUS will come down thru the clouds,we will be taken up to meet HIM, HE will bring the NEW Jerusalum down and HE will establish HIS Kingdom where we will reign with HIM right here for eternity. Unless we are whisked away to a safe place we will go thru the Tribulation period,pray that you have what it takes to be strong in your faith and your SAVIOR when that time comes. |
|
---Jan on 6/7/06 |
My belief is no, if you are truly born again you will not.paul states without a doubt that we will be caught up in the air with him and will forever be with the lord. |
|
---tom2 on 6/7/06 |
To all, Jesus said no one knows the time of his return. If you believe in pre-trib rapture and if it is correct that christians leave this world 7 years prior to Jesus's return then is it not 7 years notice to all left behind of his return. I say again, only God knows when Jesus will return. |
|
---Thomas_D. on 5/31/06 |
Donna,
While the Holy Spirit is resident in the believer this verse makes it clear that He is active in the world at large.
2 Thessalonians 2:7, "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."
NOTE: The word letteth is a translation of the Greek "katecho" - to hold back. This is one of those words that had a different meaning in King James language compared to to day. |
|
---Bruce5656 on 5/17/06 |
Though not popular here, I believe a period of grace was given the Jews, then Jesus taught for 3 1/2 years died, resurected, and raptured after which was tribulation of the remaining believers. I see a repeat in the same order for the world. Our grace will end with our Rapture, Moses/Elijah will preach 3 1/2 years to the Jews those converted will rapture then comes the great tribulation. |
|
---mikefl on 5/13/06 |
Tommy, there is no scriptural evidence that the Church will be removed during the Tribulation.
Moderator - At some point during the Great Tribulation, the Body of Christ is Raptured or they will be beheaded. |
|
---Jack on 5/13/06 |
We, as christians will be delivered out of the Great Tribulation, and taken to Heaven to be in the presence of the Lord. The Holy Spirit will then return to the type of ministry He performed in the Old Testament times, visiting individual people as needed, but, not being a direct influence on the world at large. When we get to heaven, the promise of the Lord will be fulfilled in that we will be with Him continually, and the Spirit will be free to do other things. IMO |
|
---tommy3007 on 5/13/06 |
Donna9759 we always go to the written Word of God to establish if man is telling the Truth or not. We search the Scriptures. It is the Scriptures that are true. We are allowed by God to proclaim the message He has written.
Gospel tracts are placed where people can read them. Some do and get Saved. No Christian is around to lead them.
It is God's Truth that leads to Salvation even if it is spoken by a donkey. |
|
---Elder on 5/13/06 |
I believe Elder is correct, just because the Spirit is in us, you have to remember the Holy Spirit is Spirit and is not restricted by space or time, He is everywhere and could work upon the people, as in the Old Testement. His nature is Omnipresent, all places at the same time. God's grace always abounds. From the first to the last for He is Sovereign. |
|
---Lupe2618 on 5/12/06 |
Elder, while I have deeply respected your posts, I have to disagree with you. The Holy Spirit dwells in Temples and WE are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, not books, not CD's, not notes, etc., Where is the scripture reference that 2 will evangelize the 144,000? |
|
---Donna9759 on 5/12/06 |
We will have to go through the great tribulation. Take courage not one hair on the head of us who know and embrace the truth and share this truth falls to the ground, (luke 21:18). For in our patience we provide for our souls verse 19. Watch and pray always, that you may be counted worthy to escape (shun the origin of the cares of this life, the deceiver) and all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (Lk 21:36). The Lord does not return until the seventh trump sounds. |

The Church will be on earth during the tribulation. |
|
---Jack on 5/11/06 |
I believe there are ranks in the resurrection. The Bride, full-overcomers, Smyrna and Phildelphia Churches of Revelation, will go out before the tribulation begins. The second rank, the Pergamos and Sardis Churches will go during the first 3 1/2 years. The third rank will also be out by the middle of the week. There are those in the Thyatira & Laocicean Churches that will either be martyred or preserved during the tribulation. |
|
---Debbie on 5/11/06 |
Moderator/Donna,
Please remember when Christians are removed there will still be books, tapes, CDs and Bibles left that the Believers wrote notes in. A person Saved before the Tribulation would be a member of the Church. So either God would have to leave some behind, which would be a falsehood, or have a witness some other way. Also don't forget the two witness that come back in the middle of the Great Tribulation that evangelizes the 144,000.
God will always have His witness. |
