There is no 7 year tribulation, and no secret rapture.
You must prepare to face the tribulation, the only way to survive is purify your heart from sin and allow the indwelling of Christ.
Satan will appear as an angel of light, he will claim to be Jesus. He will enforce his false worship and people will follow. The real Jesus comes in the clouds, and doesn't touch the earth at his second advent. He raises all his people from the dead, and takes those which are alive with him. If every wicked person is destroyed by the brightness of the Lords coming (2 Thes 2:8), and when he comes he takes the saints with him (1 Thes 4:17), then who will be left alive to feel the 7 plagues? No. God's people will be sheltered from the plagues, but will be alive to see it. Then, will Jesus come.
Before the plagues fall will be a time of trouble which the world has never experienced. Christians won't be martyred this time, Satans attacks will be all mental. You must maintain such a close relationship with Jesus to not be tempted.
I hope this study interests you to ask more about the Lords Advent. Try this sermon on it, and if it is not according to the law and the testimony, then reject it.
God bless!!

A catholic priest came up with the idea of rearranging the 2300 year prophecy, and taking the week ( a day in prophecy is a year, so a week would be 7 years) that the Messiah would be cut off in and putting it at the end of days. Does wonders for confusing the Protestants. The Bible does not tell us how long the time of trouble will be, because all time prophecies ended in 1844, that is when the 2300 year prophecy ended. That is why we are truly living in the time when Jesus could come at any time. But, to the crux of your question. Once the national Sunday law, (prohibiting the worship of God on any day except Sunday), is enforced, no Saint will be killed, because the time for repentance will have ended, and their martyrdom would accomplish nothing.

There will be a great many people die during the tribulation! Jesus himself said that if those days were allowed to go on any longer even the elect would be in danger Read Matthew Ch. 24 V22 (the elect are the 144,000 who will be left behind to preach the Gospel to a lost and dieing world)
The natural disasters which will occur will wipe out a very large % of the human race.

The "Left Behind" theology is not Biblical and is fantasy. A genuine and thorough study of Scripture will show you this. It really isn't in there. It was invented by a man named Darby in the early 1800s. Before that it was never taught or believed. Go research it, please.

YES. What do you think the whole "666" thing is about? If you don't take the mark, you die. Tell your friend he is wrong.

Friend, unfortunately you're NOT going to die, even that's the first thing in your mind...

The seven years trip period does not exclude death. You are right.

I don't know much about nothing. What I do know is my spirit is strong and I believe I can survive almost anything. I'm just very very strong spirited. My spirit is way stronger than my physical body. I know you probably don't believe me. It's o.k. I know what I know.
