[ChevyZ28]

I believe the Bible is clear, there will still be Christians on earth during the tribulation. The Book of Revelation describes the execution of Christians who refuse to take the mark of the beast. However, I don't think anyone can conclusively say that some Christians would not be raptured prior to the tribulation.

All of the bible verses rightly fit together.

One thing is clear. His second coming is imminent. (Imminent, not necessarily immediate). There is no other prophetic stipulation which must occur prior to His return. Interpretations, perhaps, but IMHO, His grace will continue even during the wrath of the Lord. Perhaps a gift of letting those who suffer during the Tribulation understand why they are suffering so that the issues are indubitable and one final opportunity for salvation whether seized or not by those perishing.

That is correct,ChevyZ28, there is a "Secret" taking away of the "Second", of the Three "Firstfruit orders" of the first resurrection, and it is around this firstfruit order, that the "Erroneous" Rapture "Fraud" has been developed.If you care to e-mail me,(my personal e-mail address is in my profile) I shall give you my study URL.
