a great end time tribulation is to come . And as we read in revelation , IT COMETH AGAINST the saints .
Tribulation in the form of Gods Wrath, is that which comes down from Heaven is AGAINST “unrighteousness’.
Non-believers are easy to identify....
But the SAINTS? What have they Done or NOT Done according to the WILL of the Father, that they are suffering any portion of Gods Wrath?
The First portion of Gods Wrath is the Wrath of the Lamb...ie the Opening of the Seals 1-7, by the Lamb of God.
WHY, is that wrath Upon the SAINTS?
Because a Saint, BELIEVES, however the WILL of the Father, is that individuals ....COMMIT and BECOME Converted.
A man who Believes, but has not CONVERTED, is simply a Believer...
A Converted man HAS ALREADY given his life (crucified with Jesus) for God...and why he is not subject to Wrath...and Raptured.
A believer, not having become Converted, must also lay down his life for God...that is one who is martyred...then is saved.
What about a believer IN God, but Not Jesus is the Christ? Primarily Jews?
A bit different. They are sent Teachers...Two witnesses, 144,000, teaching them the Gospel of Jesus’ Christ, they believe, confess their belief, killed for their belief....martyred...then saved.
Body’s of those killed, martyred, during the Tribulation, Become SAVED, souls rise to heaven. Body’s shall be raised up...after 1,000 yr reign of Christ Jesus, with His Converted, on Earth.
After the 1,000 yr reign, Satan is loosed, (nations of mortal being established for 1,000 yrs outside of Christ’s kingdom), over the centuries have been falling away from belief, and quickly follow Satan’s lead via such nations coming again Christ’s Kingdom to make war...
They fail...and there after is celestial war between demonic angels and holy angels....demonic angels are overcome, cast forever into the pit.
Then Judgements for the righteous and unrighteous.
