Clearly the church will not escape the tribulation and the faithful will have to endure till the end when Jesus returns and catches His people up into the air on His way down to bring His judgment and peace.
The Church might not escape worldly wrath, but the great Tribulation serves a different purpose.
The very definition of the Church is why the Church shall not remain throughout the Great Tribulation, but believers will exist in the Great Tribulation.
It sure helps to begin with basic Bible doctrines then advance to deeper doctrines when studying Prophecy, but it is also knowable through faith in Christ by the work of God, the Holy Spirit.
What leads you to believe that the Church must suffer the wrath of God which has been reserved for those who do evil in the last 3.5 years of the Tribulation? Are we to suffer His wrath for doing good?
I had a repeat dream last night.
Was ill with bad sinus pain and following a rare horrific Thunder and Lightning storm.
In this dream the sky literally opens up and all different men from all times come out and they including Jesus who is on his knees looing up to the heavens are huge like a big as the sky huge.
All are warriors from all biblical times and a few creepy faces to.
It is like a battle and earth is just a pewey seating/viewing point
I remember yelling at others Look Its Jesus! But what is most overwhelming is all the men in this last and in my heart I know it is a great last battle and like this is It the End of Earth.
All the warriors coming out of the sky are bigger that the earth so everyone in the world can veiw this coming.
Wild, suppose the sinus/migraine and thunder gave me this dream again.
