>>How about Sodom and Gomorrah, or Pharaoh and his army chasing Moses across the Red Sea, or the deaths of the first born of the kingdom?<<

LOL You’re trying so hard here but only end up pointing to examples of how God will deal with His faithful followers. Look at my question again.

“Please show where God ever subjected His faithful followers to His wrath.”

In your examples.

When did God reign down His wrath on Sodom and Gomorrah? After His faithful followers were out of the destruction zone right? Moses and the Israelites were led safely away from the red sea before the destruction of Pharaoh and his army. The faithful Israelite firstborn were saved by the blood of the lamb and not subject to the wrath which really wasn’t the wrath of God anyway but the wrath or Harrod. I’ll give you one more. Noah and his family of faithful followers were “taken up” in the Ark out of the destruction.

The faithful followers of Christ will be “caught up” and “kept from the wrath to come” just as all faithful followers of God have been in the past. There is a distinction between persecution and wrath. Jesus told us there would be persecution by the enemy but we are to pray that we are worthy to escape the wrath to come.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

.
Right!

And Yeshua told us it would be After Satan’s wrath, at the last trump, when he removes his elect before the beginning of his ten days of wrath between Yom Teruah, and Yom Kippur.
