Pre-tribulation Rapture – The Great Tribulation Is Not The Wrath Of God
In This World You Shall Experience Tribulation
Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
The sufferings during the Great Tribulation, that we are to endure, do not compare to the end result if we faithfully endure with faith. The rewards promised to the Elect in Christ is the confirmation of our salvation and the redemption of our bodies.

Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
We wait for the adoption, transformation and salvation promised to those who are sealed (or sanctified), unto the day of redemption; this is also refereed to as our deliverance.
1 Pet 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
We in no way can lose our salvation, because upon Christ’s return one is either saved or dammed. He that endures until the end shall be saved.
1 Pet 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
The Great Tribulation will try our faith, but through his spirit we can endure. We take part in Christ’s suffering, as the world also hates the light that we shine, illuminating deception and exposing evil. But at his revealing we will rejoice greatly with him, for us to live is to be in Christ.
1 Pet 4:16-18 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
In order for the rapture deception to be a sellable teaching a lot of scripture needs to be re written to sell the story. The claim is that Christians are gone and the ungodly will accept Christ, even though they have rejected him beforehand, and are given unto a strong spirit of delusion. If the righteous (or elect) be scarcely saved what chance do those who are supposedly left behind have?
Rev 13:12-14 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
This second beast also referred to as the false prophet, will do amazing things and will deceive the world with real miracles and wonders, during the Great Tribulation. People (that are spiritually blind) will see and believe in this grand illusion (Rev 19:20).
Mat 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
It is easy to say you are a Christian, but it is an entirely different matter to live for Christ daily, submit to his plan and make him Lord of your life. To suffer for Christ requires not only his grace but one has to be grounded in his Word and have a real unshakeable faith. Otherwise one will fall away when the going gets tough, which it will during the Great Tribulation, and the understanding just is not there, due to deceptions lies and illusions.
Mat 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Many who say they are believers will fall away once the antichrist comes onto the scene, with his intense persecution of those who hold fast to the truth. The fearful worldly person who puts all his emphasis on trying to save his life on this earth will loose it. However the spiritual man who sacrifices his life for Christ and the gospel will receive salvation.
2 Tim 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Over time gross distortions are accepted as truth. We live in this time right now!!
Christ told us that in this world many would experience fist hand the Great Tribulation, but we are to be of good cheer, as He has overcome the world. How is this even possible, to have joy in times of trouble? Without the indwelling of His Holy Spirit we can do nothing, but through His Spirit we can do all things through Christ Jesus. Having our eyes fixed on the Kingdom of Christ and our true Eternal and Spiritual Treasures, as opposed to the illusions of treasures in this present evil world, enable us to endure all things. We are more than conquerors through Christ that Loves us (Rom 8:37; John 16:33; Acts 14:22; Phl 4:13).
The Great Tribulation Is Not The Wrath Of God
The Great Tribulation is not the wrath of God. In the teachings within Christianity today few understand just what the wrath of God is.
2 Tim 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us
All day long true believers are accounted as sheep for the slaughter,during the Great Tribulation period which is 3 1/2 years in duration, this will only intensify. Salvation is received by those who were sealed with the promise, from Christ. Hell and finally the Lake of Fire are reserved for the unbeliever. This is His wrath, eternal separation from Him.
Rev 6:10-11 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
Those that are killed for living for Christ do participate in the Great Tribulation, so this is not His wrath. For the believer to die for Christ is gain.
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come (or coming soon); and who shall be able to stand?
After the sixth seal mankind knows that the wrath is about to come very soon. This is towards the end of the Great Tribulation period. The two witnesses are present on earth for the three and a half years of the Great Tribulation, and their testimony undoubtedly in part, will be a warning of the wrath that is soon to come.
******* For a better understanding on what verse the seven year tribulation theory is based on click this link- http://destinedtoberevealed.com/christ-will-confirm-the-covenant-with-many/
Rom 2:5-8 But after thy hardness and unrepentant heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
The Great TribulationThe day of wrath and the day of Christ’s revelation are one and the same. Unfortunately multitudes today do not obey the Truth, but follow self-righteousness instead of submitting to the will of the Father. They allow self proclaimed leaders with numerous doctrines of damnation to lead them into a state of delusion. Both teacher and student alike have eyes but yet they do not see. They have been blinded by the cares and lusts of this world, and never truly come to the Light in Christ Jesus. Jesus has to reside in your heart as well as your mind. For where your treasure is likewise this is where your heart will also be. No one can serve two masters, you will both trust in and serve God, storing up spiritual riches, or you will put your trust in the things of this world that perish.
The verses below represent God’s wrath, to die for Christ is a privilege, to die apart from Him is unimaginable.
Jer 7:29 Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
Jer 7:33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
Zeph 1:15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
Zeph 1:17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

From The Rapture Series
The so called “great tribulation” already happened. It was called the Dark ages, when the apostate RCC tortured and killed millions of true Christians. This happened during the 1260 years of papal supremacy .
Jacob’s Time of Trouble in the last days is not the great tribulation.
