I strongly disagree of course. Paul does not say “eternal” wrath. This is an addition you have added to the text based upon old Catholic eschatology, which is rooted in Greek philosophy and mysticism that emphasized a generalized judgment theology that stands in great contrast to the historical-prophetic emphasis of the Scriptures that extends from cover to cover. The “wrath to come” is called the “Day of the Lord” in 1 Thessalonians 5, and then “wrath” again in 5:9, These are like bookends to the book - and the rapture falls right in between them. I am surprised and saddened by so many Christian’s opposition and embarrassment of so many clear prophecy passages.
