“Like the days of Noah the chosen get whisked off to some place safe while God pours down his wrath on the unrepenting Earth.”
Right. God DESTROYS the earth with a flood. Nobody lives. He didn’t remove Noah; He sanctified by telling him to build the ship.
This is what I mean by confusion over what the word ‘wrath’ means. Many thing the tribulation period is the wrath and it is not. It’s God’s ultimate destruction.
Except God “cuts” those days short lest there be no life saved....so it doesn’t sound like he destroys the world as you describe it....at least not until the last great revolt ending in the “lamb’s book of life” final judgment that takes place after Christ’s millenial reign as described in Revelation.....or are you one of those book of Revelation skeptics?
