I have to agree with SubMareener, e-s. You cite Matthew 24 for one of the scriptures to support that Christians will still be here during the Great Tribulation.

I see two or three things in that chapter that tell me we won’t. For instance, v37, “But as the days of Noe were...”, talking about people not suspecting the end was coming. God didn’t let Noah go through the flood. This tells me that God’s people will be saved from destruction - that we will be taken away.

Now, I understand that Noah’s family rode out the flood, and that could be interpreted as riding out the tribulation for us, but being insulated from the destruction as Noah was seems to tell me that I won’t be in it.

Those Christians who are mentioned in the chapter that are going through all the problems can be seen as those saved after the Rapture without doing any damage to the scripture.

Whether we are left, or we are taken out - I will accept what God gives, and know the end result will be wonderful.

You see Yeshua as a liar, by your post.

And Paul to boot.

At the last trump is the stated time for the rapture, both by Yeshua and by Paul. The Revelation also places the resurrection at the 7th trump. There is not one word anywhere in the scriptures that indicates anything else.

And yes Noah did go through the flood, in the ark.

Everything about the trib in scripture points out that it is the tribulation of the saints. That is the whole point of it. “Immediately after the tribulation of those days” is also quite specific.

There is no mention in any scripture of any salvation happening after the first resurrection. The damage done by such a belief is to destroy your belief in Yeshua. God’s wrath is what happens after the end of the trib. (the 7 bowls)

There will be nothing wonderful about the trib; Satan will be wroth, and the saints are who will pay for it. It says that they will kill us.
