The end of the Age is the Church..Once the church is removed then the *Wrath of GOD* comes upon the earth...

Did Noah fall into the water?

Did Abraham escape the fire of Sodom?

They were not part of GOD’s wrath, the Lord has not changed his ways since the beginning....

Here's the thing. There are three schools of thought on the so-called "Rapture". There's pre, mid, and post. All have their arguments to their positions. My answer to those that believe in the pre-Tribulation Rapture is:

All through the centuries of Christian persecution, the torture, the horrible deaths by burning and killing, can you honestly look into their faces and tell them the persecution you've gone through? The material things, no starvation, no depredation of any sort. The access to medicine, hospitals the outright enjoyment of life. You can look those people in the face and tell them how bad you had it? I would rather suffer through the anti-Christ and all it entails and be able to hold my head high and say "Yes, I've suffered as you have" - not enjoy what I have now on earth and say that I've suffered as you have.

On the other hand, the biblical teaching of the first resurrection is more straightforward. On the day Christ returns to earth to establish His Kingdom, the dead in Christ will rise first, and those who are alive and converted will follow. They will meet Him in the air and immediately return to earth as a vast army of spirit beings to defeat the Beast and False Prophet in the Valley of Jehoshaphat (Revelation 19:14; Joel 3:1-2; Zechariah 14:1-5).

PS. God’s wrath has always been on the non-believers. Never his children.

The last days started on or around the advent of Jesus.
