That is total nonsense!

How can there be a tribulation of the saints if there are no saints?

Or are you conflating Satan’s tribulation of the saints with the wrath of God poured out on those that take the mark?

In you confusion, you are conflating the different epoch Saints. The Saints from the Old Testament are not the same as the Saints from the Church age, and the Saints during the Tribulation. I’m just amazed at how bold you are in your errors! I suppose it is understandable since you do not comprehend Salvation by Faith and the differing ways the accounting is done, Old Testament, Church Age, and Tribulation. None will be in Heaven from Earth except by Jesus. He told you that specifically. The way He is Deliverer differs in the three epochs described. During the Church Age, believing that Jesus is The Son of God and ‘your’ personal Savior by His work on the Cross and in Heaven, and God puts His holy Spirit of Promise int he believer. It is that indwelling Holy Spirit of Promise Who acts as Restrainer during the Church Age. He and His restraining influence will be taken out of the way for the Tribulation to begin (2 Thess 2:7). Study to show yourself approved a workman worthy.
