If people read their bibles without preconceived notions they got from movies (always boggles my mind when people use movies in explaining spiritual things) they'll see clearly that the tribulation is BEFORE the rapture.

Yes o, abdul.

Micheal, I understand your delusion quite well. I was once like you to be honest. But see ehn, rapture won’t happen. Angel Micheal will not blow any damn trumpet and God won’t use billions of people to do suya. God is not a monster that derives pleasure in inhaling burnt human flesh. Once you die, that’s the end of your life. Know this truth and know peace.

The Rapture: Before Or After The Great Tribulation?

This is a topic that appears to be generating a lot of hot debates among Christians presently. I don't think there's much doubt about the rapture taking place, because that's generally agreed upon by Christians to be a certainty. But the bone of contention was when exactly it would take place, if before or after the great tribulation.

I must admit though that this topic is one that I'm not well informed about, because It's not been an area of interest to me. Anyone of them was good enough for me because I was made by Jesus to be prepared at all times for all kinds of situation just as the apostles.

Luke 12:35-40 (KJV)

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Hence i'm not really concerned if the rapture takes place before or after the great tribulation, because I'm always ready as my loins are girded about and my light is always burning as the Master had instructed. And I believe that ought to be the same for every one of His followers.

However last year I got a rapture dream for the first time in my life. That was sometime in June. Since then I have had two more and one great tribulation dream. The most recent being the rapture dream I just had a few days ago.

It gave me the impression gave that the end was very near, hence people needed to be warned about this so that they can repent and be ready for the rapture.

So although such information may not be of much significance to me, there were yet those who need to aware of such. therefore being God's servant, i was meant to warn them about what was imminent, which explains the rapture dreams I've been receiving.

And that's what I've been doing since. Although repentance has always been a key part of my message, now it's become even more urgent because it seems there's not much time left going by the timing and frequency of the endtime dreams.

For more details on those rapture and great tribulation dreams, you can go to this thread:

I must also admit though, that because of the rapture and tribulation dreams I was now more informed about the rapture than I used to be beforehand, that I intended to share my view about it. However when I realized that i was still not informed enough to give a definite position on that subject, I had to suspend my initial plans, so as not to mislead others.

Therefore it's only when i'm ready for that, i would do so, although as things stand now, I'm more inclined to the position of tribulation before rapture, and that I believe is a safer position to be in the meantime, that may yet change along the way.

But for those who are completely sure of when the rapture would take place, this is an opportunity to convince those of us who aren't if the rapture would take place before or after the great tribulation.

As I said earlier though, regardless, the most important thing is for us to be ready at all times for all possible scenarios as Jesus instructed us to be.

God bless.

Exactly Bros, I don't understand the tribulations before rapture.

The truth is, eschatology, the study of the last days or the final destination of humanity has to be handled with a lot of caution, it could confuse young believers scripturally, I think it is better we leave this topic and concentrate on our preparedness for heaven.

Hello bro.

I thought we've always concluded from biblical passages and references that the great tribulation is before rapture of the saints.... Jesus Christ himself specified this in Matthew 24 from vs 31.

Also in the parable of the ten virgins, after the bridegroom came, and the five wise virgins entered, the door was shut... The parable never recorded any second chance for the foolish virgins rather, let's see the bridegroom's reply in
Matthew 25:10-12 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

From these chapters and verses, a wise child of God should be able to deduce the truth, and shun the left behind movie series and John Darby's erroneous teachings

I will add more scriptures later from St Paul and John the Beloved.

No sir
There are lots of events yet to happen

Arab israeli war..

Building of third temple

Wormwood(planet x) hasn't come yet...this will bring world wide earthquake and roll clouds( appearance of starts falling from heaven)

The man of sin comes to bring peace to the earth, you call him antichrist

He .makes covenant for 7years and stops the sacrifice in the third temple after 3 n half, sets up abomination of desolation and ask all men to worship him as god

Great tribulation begins but God makes way for people who trust him to escape, most likely to hinterlands..

If those days are not shortened the elect would not make it, so God shortens it and then rapture takes place

They go with Christ for the marriage supper- will last 10 earthly days
During his period there is pouring of God's wrath on earth by the angels with the vials

Marriage feast is over and Jesus comes back(2nd coming, rapture is not) for armageddon and onward millennial reign

Shalom

However what matters most is whenever the rapture comes, we should make it....

Ziel20:
On the rapture, I strongly believe its gonna be before the great tribulation.

Some people get confused though because the bible mentioned saints whose blood cried for justice.

Let me point something out. At the time of the rapture, there will be believers who did not ready themselves. Who will be left behind.

Now when the tribulation starts, people will be forced to receive a mark. Some of these believers who are left behind will strongly oppose that in such a way that many will pay for their redemption with their own blood.


They will rather die than take the mark. Taking the mark means that their is no more redemption for you but everlasting damnation.
