The Bible is written in what I call a spiritual fashion. One of the stories is Noah's Flood. The earth was about to be destroyed by God's wrath. God called Noah and his family into the Ark 7 days before the rain started and shut the door. This represents taking God's elect out of the world 7 days before God's wrath fell. Noah didn't get one drop of God's judgement on his head.

Now all that's well and good except what you need to realize is people died and were killed even up to the first drop of water came forth from God. We will most likely see some of the Antichrists murder, but God proclaimed that we aren't children of His wrath. Christians are dying today for their faith and have died for thousands of years just because they were believers. When God begins to pour out His wrath, believers will be gone and put away in their chambers until God's indignation is over.

A Christian will not experience the wrath of God but are now and continue to experience man's wrath. When you became a Christian, you need to realize that you signed up to die for Christ. You can die in the Baptismal or you can die at the hands of evil men. John was the only Apostle to live to his natural end, all the rest were murdered. Your life is not in this world. If you are a believer you are a resident of an alien Kingdom. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Being whisked away still alive from the earth is so rare compared to millions of people that have died over the years is a false worry.

The Tribulation and God’s wrath are not the same. The tribulation comes during the reign of the anti-christ. The rapture will happen before the day of wrath. This is how I see it.
