Ice,

If you miss the pre-trib rapture because you did not understand that God did not intend His bride to endure His judgement (tribulation) what will you do?

Do you not understand that the RAPTURE message is one of hope? How is there hope if you are to go into the tribulation where the bible says that if Jesus hadn't shortened those days, no one would be left to survive it?

How is this a message of hope knowing that most people will die for us Christians?

Do NOT hold to the words of men and search you heart for what the Holy Spirit says, remind yourself of who God is and remind yourself of His promise and Love for those that have accepted Him and believed in Him.

Early Christians who died by persecution were not under God's WRATH but died by the hand of unbelieving men who tried to quiet them.

This is DIFFERENT than death under God's JUDGEMENT (which is the TRIBULATION).

Do you not understand that when Jesus Christ forgives you of your sins that you are in a clean slate? That you are no longer under the judgement of God? This is what happens when you become BORN-AGAIN Jesus Christ follower, who have accepted the blood of His sacrifice and what He did to save us from our sins.

Do you think after Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price, He would subject US again to His WRATH after just forgiving us of our sins?

Where is your faith? Why would you believe that Jesus Christ would put His accepted and forgiven TO HIS WRATH (which is what the TRIBULATION) is?

Do you not understand that the TRIBULATION is for those that have NOT accepted God?

As God said, it is to try those that dwell on the earth (that have not accepted His Son Jesus Christ and His offer of FORGIVENESS).

How do you answer this?
