    'These are they who have come out of the great tribulation.' (To "come out of something a person must go into it or be in it. So, this great tribulation must be persons who actually experience the great tribulation and come out of it as survivors.) ----Revelation 7:14.

      True, but not to be confused as "persons" who rejected the gospel, pre-tribulation. It would be best to separate the two so as not to cause any confusion. As he said, there is NO SCRIPTURE that supports those who heard and rejected the Gospel or experienced God's salvation (in other words got saved or walked with Christ but then returned to a life of sin) will be saved during the tribulation. To miss the rapture, an event describes as happening in a "twinkle of an eye". Is frightening. "And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" -1 Pet. 4:18

      If you truly believe the rapture will happen in August, you need to prepare.
      What about your pets?
      If you dont feed or water them they will be locked in your homes and DiE a horrible death!
      Who will care for them?
      How horrible it would be for whoever finds that terrible mess of droppings everywhere across your house, and then the poor dead animal lying there rotting on the carpet!!!
      And think of the tremendous suffering that he or she would go through in such a scenario!
      What will you do to make sure that does not happen?
      You could give your pets away!
      But what if your rapture date is wrong, again?
      Oh what stress this whole rapture thing has become!!!
      What will you do to protect your precious fluffy?
      How can you live without him?
      Mindlessness. The whole thing is mindlessness.

      Agreed. Anyone left after the rapture can redeem themselves.
      And on the topic of the mark of of the beast…some will say it will be a spiritual mark, others say a physical one. It will be both.
      We live in a world where we humans need some form of a physical item like an ID, birth certificate, passport to prove who we are. We need a debit card, credit card, smart phone or watch to make transactions. Which is where the physical aspect comes into play…because in those last day, people will need to prove their loyalty to the beast in order to eat, buy and sell, rent and so on. That’s where a physical mark comes in.
      In the spiritual realm…Satan and God already knows who on their side, they don’t need anything physical to prove it. In this world, You either have the spiritual mark of God (meaning not the physical mark of the beast) or the physical mark of the Beast…where you can prove your part of the system.

      Jesus taught that the Rapture follows the Great Tribulation
      The Chronology of Jesus' Prophecy Lesson in Matthew 24:15-31
      1. THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION
      (In the Middle of the Seven Years called "Daniel's Seventieth Week).
      [15] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) [16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
      2. THE GREAT TRIBULATION
      [21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
      3. THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH
      [29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
      [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
      [31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

    Why do so many people keep saying things like God won't let His bride be abused before He comes? Apparently the apostles and the early church aren't part of the bride. Beaten, martyred. Oh, and if I remember correctly Jesus was the Lamb for sinners slain, but I guess that's not a detail of importance.

      So true: one may scoff at their other teachings, but endurance to the end of the time of the end, when Jesus shall come again on the clouds of heaven to take us straight back to heaven, is also a key teaching of 7th day Adventism.
      On the up side, it is understood that at a certain time when witnessing for the kingdom shall be completing its task in God's eyes, martyrdom shall longer benefit anyone as a witnessing tool and God himself will restrain the hand of violence.
      In the book Great Controversy it also says that while swords raised to kill will fall like straws when facing outheld hands declaring faith in Jesus, other moments will be holy angels appearing as 'human' men of war to repel the aggression of that final attempt at lethal persecution.
      Rev 13:15b 'raises' the threat, but God has promised to protect those who take refuge in Jesus.

      People are going to be so deceived, and many already are! If you don't believe you'll be here when the mark is put into place, then you won't be on guard against taking anything that comes along. I have heard many people scoffing "I can't believe people actually have a problem with taking a chip, they carry one around all the time anyway (talking about phones)" that was an actual conversation I overheard.
      Professing Christians are malleable to taking the mark because they have been taught that we won't be here for it.

      People aren't serving Jesus because they *aren't* being persecuted. For the person who isn't a believer, his or her unbelief is the reason for not serving Jesus. So if that person suddenly has a 'road to Damascus' moment/a light bulb goes off *after* the Rapture, then, like Paul, they very well may be willing to die for Jesus' sake.

    As a young saved Christian in the early 90s, I was taught of pre tribulation rapture but in early 2000, the Lord began to open my eyes more to the end time.
    According to Matthew chapter 25,, the 5 virgins that do not have enough oil in their lamps who went to get more oil and when they came back, the Bridegroom had come and entered with the other 5 virgins whose lamps were still on light and the door shut. It was not said that the door was opened for the 5 virgins that went to get more oil. The coming of the Bridegroom is the Rapture and it showed by Jesus Himself through the parable that once Rapture has occurred, no more salvation again. This nullify the pre tribulation view that people will be saved after the rapture which occurs before the Great Tribulation.
    I always ask people, if the view of pre tribulation is correct, will there now be second class people in heaven because we two sets of people getting to heaven through two batches.
    By my understanding of the scripture, the 7 years contain two events: the Great Tribulation and the dreadful day of the LORD. It is the rapture that end the Great Tribulation and as soon as the rapture occurs, the dreadful day of the LORD will begin to complete the 7 years during which God will judge the people that have taken the mark of the beast upon the Earth. The sun will become darkened, the stars will fall from heaven. Therefore, the rapture will occur at the end of the Great Tribulation which is less than 7 years. Then the rapture saints will go to Heaven for the Marriage of the Lamb.

      The great tribulation is simultaneous with the day of the Lord. Satan is pouring out his wrath and so is God in the tribulation. Be prepared to go THROUGH the tribulation. Not escape it. The pre trib rapture is false teaching. EDURE like a good solider. Be faithful unto death and you will receive the crown of life. You know those verses? The resurrection/rapture is in Rev 20:4 which is obviously post trib. Wake up church. 2Tim 2:15

      @@willpower6720 I agree with most of your points but only that the great tribulation and the dreadful day of the LORD are same. They are different. Jesus said in Matthew 24 29 that:
      "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken".
      The event mentioned by Jesus above is the launch of the dreadful day of the LORD which Jesus said will occur after the Great Tribulation.
      During the Great Tribulation, the devil will persecute the church greatly and at the end of the Great Tribulation of less than 7 years as reveals in Daniel 12:12, that blessed are they that wait till 1335 days from the time the daily sacrifice is taken away and daily sacrifice shall be taken away in the middle of the first year, then the rapture shall occur. The same word blessed are used in Revelation 19:9 as those that made it to the marriage of the Lamb are called blessed and the marriage of the Lamb occurs after the rapture saints are taken to heaven. Also Revelation 20:6 called those that shall have part in the first resurrection blessed and the first resurrection is the rapture. Since it is scripture that can be used to interpret scripture, then those saints referred to in Daniel 12:12 are the rapture saints.
      According to Daniel 8:13-14, the timing between when the daily sacrifice shall be taken away till the sanctuary is cleansed shall be 2300 days. The sanctuary shall be cleansed at the second coming of Jesus. The bible uses lunar calendar which is 29 and half days per month. Dividing 2300 by 30 days shall give about 6 years and 5 month. The antichrist will end the daily sacrifice in the midst of the first year which Daniel 9:27 refers to in the midst of the one (first) week, mind you at the beginning in verse 2, 70 years was being referred to, so the weeks later used in the last part of the chapter is prophetically years. Middle of a year is 5 to 7 months when the daily sacrifice shall be taken away from the start of the Great Tribulation. Then adding 7 months to 6 years and 5 months makes it 7 years from the start of the Great Tribulation to the second coming of Jesus but the rapture will occur about 1335 days from the time the daily sacrifice is taken away. Then the remaining days to complete the 7 years shall be the dreadful day of the LORD when God shall release His judgement upon the Earth since the saints have been taken away from the Earth during the rapture, so those left ate evil people as it was with Sodom and Gomorrah after Lot with his family left the city and Noah with his families and chosen animals entered into the ark.

      @@stehaniemul9288 whenever God delivers His people, judgement always follow. When the children of Israel were liberated from Egypt, the pharaoh and his hosts were as well judged. Fire goes before the glory of God.
      The old testament is a shadow of the new testament. The rapture is symbolically represented in the old testament. Let me illustrate it with two examples only:
      1. When Lot and his family were taken out of Sodom and Gomorrah, instantly the judgment of God was released upon Sodom and Gomorrah because the people left there are evil. The judgment could not come upon Sodom and Gomorrah because of Lot with his family still there but when they were taken out, the judgment instantly came upon Sodom and Gomorrah. The judgment of God could not come upon the people on the Earth now because of the children of God still upon the Earth but when the saints are rapture, then the judgment of God will immediately begin upon the Earth which is called the dreadful day of the LORD. The coming out of Lot with his family is symbolism of the rapture of the saints.
      2. As soon as Noah, his family and the chosen animals entered into the ark, the judgment of God began upon the people on the Earth. The going in of Noah with his family into the ark is symbolism of the rapture and the judgment through the flood that destroyed the wicked is the symbolism of the dreadful day of the LORD.
      The rapture of the saints is God glorifying Himself upon the Earth and whenever He glorify Himself, judgement also follows. As the rapture of saints occurs, the people left upon the Earth are evil people who has taken the mark of the beast, so the judgment of God shall be released upon them which is the dreadful day of the LORD when the star and the moon shall fall and the sun withhold its shinning. The dreadful day of the LORD was revealed in Revelation chapters 8,9, 16, 17, 18.
      "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD" Malachi 4:5 KJV
      The first coming of Jesus was preceded by John the Baptist who came in the spirit of Elijah to prepare the way for the Lord. So, also, the second coming of Jesus shall be prepared by a great revival to prepare the way of the Lord. This is reveled in Revelation chapter 11, the two witnesses who shall come in the spirit of Elijah and Moses or maybe a servant of God under the anointing on Moses and Elijah, the double portion of anointing. The whole world is waiting for a great revival, called the last revival, the outpouring of the latter rain upon the church. The whole world is waiting for the Ernest manifestations of the sons of God. This last revival will perfect and unite the church because Jesus is coming for a perfect church (Ephesians 4:11-13), a united Church (John 17:20-21), a church without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). It is not the rapture that the church awaits now but the release of the latter rain.
      Joel 2:23 mentioned two rains: the former rain and the latter rain. The former rain came on the day of Pentecost. The latter rain shall come upon the Church this end time to perfect the church. Let us wait in the spiritual upper room for the release of the latter rain upon us, the end time church.

Then after 1000 years, the devil who was held in a bottomless pit during the Millennium reign shall be released and he will gather the wicked people who live outside the Millennium city for war against Jesus and the saints, in the war of Armageddon.

      Indeed, Jesus will come and fetch his people away from here.
      Any idea of time continuing afterwards is in Dan 9:27. That 7 years or last week of the 70 given to the Jews applies better to Jesus' ministry, from his baptism till the stoning of Stephen 7 years later. Thus the gospel formally went to the gentiles. No prophetic time from those 70 weeks available today, let alone for time to continue after the bridegroom has come and gone in to the wedding with those who were ready for him.
      No one ought to miss the day of salvation, today. That book The Great Controversy illustrates Jesus' Return and why he thus ends earth's sinful history. Enduring to the end for the sake of Jesus is the theme of that book.

    The prophesied events of the First Resurrection and the Rapture are said to take place at the sound of the Last/7th Trumpet. This signifies that once this event occurs, there will be no additional opportunities for redemption, as there is no mention of an 8th Trumpet in the Book of Revelation.
    In the story of Noah, those who obeyed God's command entered the ark, and the Lord closed the door behind them (Genesis 7:16). Similarly, in the parable of the ten virgins, when the bridegroom arrived, those who were prepared entered the wedding celebration, and the door was shut (Matthew 25:10).
    Revelation 7:9, 14 does not provide a second chance, it actually tell us that the timing of the First Resurrection and the Rapture will take place after the Great Tribulation, specifically when the Last/7th Trumpet sounds. By the way, Revelation 7:9, 14 talks about the Jews and Gentile people who come out of the Great Tribulation.

There can't be two competing gospels on earth at the same time. The Gospel of salvation today is found in 1Cor.15:1-4, and we are sealed with the HS the moment we believe, Eph1:13. The tribulation is the time of Jacob's trouble (Jer.30:7), not the time of the church's trouble. The tribulation gospel is not the same as today. Dispensations.

    Honest question. So any advice to someone who missed the rapture? Would you still encourage him to seek God and try and live a Godly life. Reading the Bible and praying? And do everything they can do. I’m sure there are many people who think they are rapture ready but they are not. This is scary situation and of course the best thing is to live right, have a wonderful relationship with God and be raptured when the time comes. But if you miss it. What is your advice? I know I would not want to live a sinful life at that time. But would you tell someone who misses rapture, or someone in reading this if this is still up at that time? I know there is there will be a huge delusion at that time but if you thought you were rapture ready then don’t make it? What now? Just curious. I know there is always room to get better in our walks with God. So just have to ask.

Then how can one be Born Again if the Church and the Spirit are taken in a Rapture in order for Satan to have his way during the Great Tribulation? Is there another way to be saved?

However who the Bible talks about in revelation when John saw a great multitude of all nations, languages, tongue,...... and the answer was given these are they who have come out of great tribulation and have not taken the mark of the beast nor worship his image (I am quoting from my head) but it is found in revelation 20 v4.

      You’re mixing a couple of verses that are quite far apart.
      “And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
      ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭7‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      This happens before any mention of a mark and they seem to have already been there prior to what John saw in the previous verses. This seems to fit with the promise to Philadelphia in Revelation 3 that they would be kept from the hour of temptation which would come upon all the world (raptured).
      “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”
      ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      The ones who refused the mark were beheaded not raptured.

    Oh but my pastor quotes Eph 2 relentlessly which confirms my free gift (or does it?) So what is Paul actually discussing in Ephesians 2:8-9. It is INITIAL SALVATION by God's grace, the kind which we received when we first came to God and were justified, not the kind of salvation we are now receiving (cf. 1 Peter 1:8-9, Phil. 2:12) or the kind we will one day receive (cf. Rom. 13:11, 1 Cor. 3:15
    And no, the Catholic Church does not teach that we receive initial justification by good works. You do not have to do good works in order to come to God and be justified.
    The Council of Trent states: “We are said to be justified by grace because nothing that precedes justification, whether faith or works, merits the grace of justification. For ‘if it is by grace, it is no longer by works; otherwise,’ as the apostle says, ‘grace is no more grace’ [Rom. 11:6]” (Decree on justification)
    Paul most often speaks of “works” to mean Mosaic law. His point is to stress that we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the Mosaic Law. Jews have no ability to boast in front of Gentiles of having a privileged relationship with God because they keep the Mosaic Law and its requirement of circumcision (cf. Romans 2:6-11, 17-21, 25-29, 3:21-22, 27-30).
    READ ON Vs 10 The apostle then turns our attention away from works of the Mosaic Law and toward the kind of works a Christian MUST be interested in- GOOD WORKS: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:10). cf. 1Cor 3: 9 "co-labourers with Christ"
    Protestants are known their slogan stating that we are justified by “faith alone,” but the expression “faith alone” only appears once in the Bible-in James 2:24-where it is REJECTED, just like Luther wanted to do with the epistles of James and Hebrews. Remember?

      Where does it say that?
      The Bible says as it was in the days of Noah… As well as, as it was in the days of Lot…
      In both cases there was not great tribulation and judgment prior to deliverance.
      Luke 17:26-29 (KJV) 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
      27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
      28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
      29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all.
      This does not sound like people going through great tribulation, eating, drinking, marrying, etc.
      Do you have a world war, famine and plagues, massive depopulation, wormwood, 1/3 of the trees and plants destroyed, Waters turned bitter, They beg the rocks to fall on them. This seems to bear no resemblance to how it was in the days of Noah or in the days of Sodom, where in judgment took them by surprise and there was no tribulation.

      Yes! Clearly @ when I started reading these texts on my own, not knowing anything about this doctrine. I initially understood it as wow believers (non jews)in a future are going to live these. It seems that if you simply read without a presumptions you would understand it as post-trib

    How long will the one left behind survive without money needed to pay rent, find food etc. Those who take the mark can't be saved.

    By reading the whole Bible, #ApostolicLifeInThe21stCentury, per Isaiah 28:9-13 we see the book isn't in lineal order but scattered in bits and pieces from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 that requires Spirit to direct our application of the various precepts and lines. So first we must know the Rapture is "a snatching away" and Jesus gave 2 examples. One in Matthew 25:1-16 another where he said "2 will be working, one will be taken and the other left," I understand they're the same but said differently. So how do the Virgins enter the Bridechamber and where shall it be. Per Daniel 1st-5th chapters I say in the USA as follows.
    Dan 2:45 describes a multi-ethnics nation, ch 4 say it has (military) branches earth around, has been in space, has zoos in many cities, has been cut down but a bands of Iron and Brass, Biden/Harris, replaces self exalting DJ Trump (who Nebuchadnezzar types) and will be replaced under the cover of night by Num 20:1-11s twice smitten Rock that Dan 2:45 implies will bring the USA down to be followed by the rest of the world. So when the Branch enters the White House he'll began harvesting Mat 25s Virgins as he destroys the unconstitutional Political Parties (feet) that leads to the world's end after the USA burns herself (Rev 18) as the "Abomination that makes Desolate" by her own weapons per Dan ch 3. So the Rapture is the gathering of the Virgins in Armageddon which leaves half of them to become "the Dead in Christ" of Rev 20:4, so I don't believe more will be saved after the Rapture but the half of Virgins who didn't have oil enough to enter Armageddon will be killed after half of the Virgins are snatched into the Bridechamber. They become Rev 6:9-11s souls who replaces Rev 20:4s "dead in Christ" who replace "the dead in Christ" to assist reseeding earth per Rev 20:5.
