[Genoa]

Post-tribs say that pre-tribs are looking for a painless way out, and they correctly indicate that believers in other countries are experiencing lots of tribulation right now (although sadly it is happening more in the US now as well). But the word of God clearly directs us to be ready for an imminent advent. That means nothing else has to happen first. If the Lord tarries we need to be ready for bad times. Imminent does not have to mean tomorrow. (But it could!)

Those believers are suffering because other sinful humans are persecuting them. We're all suffering because of being in a fallen, sinful world. But the suffering that will occur during the Tribulation is different. That will be God's wrath. Some say God will not subject His children to HIS wrath. I hope they're right!
