I certainly believe we will be saved from the coming wrath. Doesn't the bible say, He has not appointed us to wrath? And you must also ask yourself, what is the purpose of the great tribulation? The purpose is for Israel to turn back to God, not the church. If you had two children and one of them rebelled against what you taught them both but the other didn't would you punish them both? God has a purpose in the tribulation, but it is not for those who have already accepted His Son as their Savior. Just my thoughts.

For ray-clrk, there will be massive amounts of people coming to Christ after the rapture. These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation. Jesus will still be saving people after we are raptured. That fact wont change.

*raising hand* I do, sweet girl. I am a Bible-believing Christian and the description of a rapture-type incident is very clearly prophesied!
God bless you!

When I see a clear scripture.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 is not it.
P.S. What part of endure to the End don't people get.
and God saved Noah from the because he will not save him during it,but the second coming is a way out of the tribulation, NO RAPTURE.

I have always had a problem with I Cor 15:52 which stated that "...at the last trump….dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
From my own personal studies it looks to me like this last trump is sounded in Rev 11:15. It is true that Revelation says nothing about a "rapture," but I Thes 4:17 says that we "...shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air…" This looks like quite a different event from that of Rev 19:11ff where The Lord comes down to Earth, in which event in verse 14 it looks like we are coming down with him to do battle, which would indicate that we had already been raised.
I was looking for the Scripture where Mount Zion was split in two, but could not find it. It seems to me that it was in Zechariah.
What bothers me is, what if we are wrong in what we adamantly believe? We might not be ready for what does happen, because we will expect it to be otherwise; I. E. if the antichrist raises up to power before we are "raptured" out of here, we might fail to recognize him as antichrist if we are refusing to consider that this event is a possibility. We might even take the mark of the beast, not believing that it is what it is. Would we also be ready to live in a world where we cannot buy food? I think that we need to be ready for either event.

Are you sure about that because Revalation 7:14 say's that "these are the ones that come out of the great tribulation,
to come out of something therefore you must be IN it. So just as Moses survived the great flood there will be survivors in the Great tribulation.

I don't believe in the rapture at all--but then again, I don't believe in a seven-year tribulation period either.

No flesh will be saved. You must also be killed as your brethren were before you. They wait under the alter for you.
The tribulation took place between 0 and 280 AD.
The great tribulation took place between 1680 and 1960 AD.

The bible doesn't teach this false doctrine, which has made
the men who spew it rich. Read Ezekiel 13:18-23:
18) "WILL YE hunt the souls OF MY PEOPLE, and WILL YE SAVE THE SOULS alive that come unto you?"
19) "And WILL YE POLLUTE ME among my people for" (gain) "handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay
the souls that should not die, and TO SAVE THE SOULS
alive that should not live, BY YOUR LYING TO MY PEOPLE
that hear your lies?"
20) "BEHOLD, I am AGAINST your pillows, wherewith ye
there HUNT THE SOULS TO MAKE THEM FLY, and I will
tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even
THE SOULS THAT YE HUNT TO MAKE THEM FLY".
22) "Because WITH LIES ye have made the heart of the
righteous sad, whom I have not made sad". His gospel
is good news but they have changed it into very sad news.

I do. If God saved Noah and his family before the flood, then He could certainly do that for the people that have repented of their sin.
