There is a little understood clue to 2Thess and the images of Rapturing the Church. It is found in noting the groups in Heaven and when they are identified: The Bride of Christ is the Church, ‘the virgins who kept their oil trimmed’ and at the Wedding of the Lamb and His Bride there are a cloud of witnesses so great no man could number them. This event, this wedding with Bride and invited guests is a very different scene from the Great Throne of Judgment where the hallmark of some will be Christ’s statement ‘depart from me, I never knew you.’ I would find it imminently interesting if a few of our FR bible scholars would address those two separate distinct events and the groups in attendance to each.

Ive only began to study the wedding and bride, and how the Jewish wedding is tied to the rapture.
Fascinating stuff. I couldnt find an article I wanted to show you.

A couple of good unrelated quotes from Jack Kinsella:

“The Tribulation serves two main purposes; the first is the judgment of God on a Christ-rejecting world. The second is the national redemption of Israel. By definition, Church-Age believers have NOT rejected Christ, and need no further redemption.

If the Church goes through the Tribulation, then Jesus’ promise of a Comforter until He comes needs rewriting to say, “I will send you a Comforter Who will stay with you until you need Him most, and then you are on your own for seven years.”
