Please see my post 18. Christians around the world are already going through major tribulations. Biblical level tribulations. I am confused as to what makes some Christians think they will be exempt.

The tribulation (mainly the 7 bowls or vials) is God’s wrath on mankind. Why would God appoint his Church to wrath? Noah was spared Gods wrath, as was Lot, Moses and the Israelis in Egypt etc. This is the reason why the pre-trib rapture theory has merit.

Jesus warned us that we would be taken by men, and slaughtered, not by God. There are Christians being slaughtered and driven out in the Middle East and around the world today, but we are not in The Tribulation yet. God never promised us we'd never suffer persecution, Jesus almost promised us to expect it, but God promised us to deliver us from His wrath, which is The Tribulation.

True. Many Americans’ entire world is what is happening in America. The tribulation has started and many severed heads of Christians in the middle east show that.

Obama in his Islamic faith, has done and is doing, his best to see Christians beheaded here so Christians will deny their Christianity and choose Islam in order to survive so his dream of an Islamic State United States will come true.

When the world is at war, perhaps he will go to Iran and look down the well hoping the 12th Imam will come out and embrace him. Iran's Supreme Leader and the Mullahs believe if Iran creates world havoc, the Imam will come out of the well. The best way to create major destruction is to drop nuclear bombs on Israel and America and the Imam will surely come out of the well.

Because God says so...

No one said we think we will be exempt...We don't know what kind of terror those in the Tribulation will go thru since God says it will be worse than anything that has ever happened before...We are just beginning to see what they are going thru in other countries...We imagine what we see now in those countries is the worse that can happen...

The O.T. speaks of a time when mothers will eat their babies to stay alive...But the point is the Tribulation is the time of God's wrath on the unbelieving world...Upon those governments that have turned against Israel...

1Th_5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

You're confusing persecution with God's wrath.
