But Noah was not removed from the flood. He had to go through it.
Why would not Jesus keep His people safe through the Tribulation.
If God found a way for Noah to get through the flood, don't you think Jesus could do the same?
LOL!! You "think" there was a flood inside the ark????

Think!! Noah and his family were safe inside the ark no swimming needed!! LOL! We born-again believers will be caught up to be with Jesus while the great tribulation is on earth and after the tribulation years we will return with Jesus when Jesus sits His foot down on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem!!!PTL
Noah was seasick the whole time. Oh was that not in the Bible. Same as pre-trib.
Feel free to pray that you be left behind but know you will need to try to live under anti-Christ rule wile billions die!!!===All your choice!
So the Rapture is a choice. Fascinating.
Yes!!! Those that reject the rapture will not be caught up!!!
Try to have fun==For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again.
Matthew 24:21
Where is THAT in the Bible????
Must I tell you everything????
Hebrews 9:28 tells us who Jesus will return for== To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time
This assertion by the deceived 'rapture to heaven' believers, is a serious indictment against them. They are judging their fellow Christians. James 4:11-12Yes!!! Those that reject the rapture will not be caught up!!!

There is no scripture which says the Lord will take His people to heaven. There are quite a few that say He won't. John 3:13, +
We born-again believers will escape(be raptured) before the years of wrath (great tribulation) 1 Thessalonians 5:9
Luke 21:36 NKJV Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass
What thinking person would think God would have His family (church) try to live through the worst judgments ever or ever will be on earth???
Sorry, this is all moving fast and I am just catching up.WRONG!!!
For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again.
Matthew 24:21
Agreed brother. We need to err on the side of caution as pre trib can and does cause Christians to sit back on their laurels believing, oh, nothing bad will happen to me cause I'm going to be pulled right out of it! So, less likely that person is building their strength and faith in The Lord to keep us from...not the tribulation so much as His wrath-which will be MUCH worse (IMO) than satan's persecution.There is enough evidence in scripture for both views to be true. Therefore I don’t take a stand on the rapture. Who knows.
But I do believe that God will protect his people through the tribulation be it through a rapture or some kind of protection, like Noah’s Arc.
Read in context and learn===We born-again believers will escape(be raptured) before the years of wrath (great tribulation) 1 Thessalonians 5:9
I don't know how many times I have to say this....in Israel, Judaism is the main religion that is followed by most Jews. Judaism does not, has not, and will not accept Jesus as the Messiah. They are still waiting for this prophesy to be fulfilled.You are looking in the wrong place to see prophecy fulfilled. Paul in Thessalonians says specifically, the temple of God. No counterfeit Jewish temple in the NT era can be of God. Paul isn't referring to a physical temple in Jerusalem when he said the man of sin would sit in it. Paul is referring to the church. To find the Antichrist, you need to look among God's professing people.
Nor should you look for just one man. One man at the head certainly... The mystery of iniquity is a system that has thus far lasted nearly 2000 years, headed by a succession of men. Babylon the Great is a modern pagan system of a union of church and state, that professes to have the truth, that professes the name of Jesus even, but it's a counterfeit deception. It's a beast ridden by a woman. The beast in that final context is the state. The woman is an apostate church. An apostate Christian church. The final battle, Armageddon, isn't between china and Russia... Russia and NATO or Israel or America.
That's not to say those things may not happen. There likely will be more wars. There may be a temple built. But they aren't what the prophecies are about. The final battle will be the same as the first. Between brothers. Like it was in heaven. Between apostate angels and faithful. Like it was between Abel and Cain. And the issues aren't over Global finance and governance and digital Currency... Those will be merely incentives. Do as you are told and we won't switch you off. The capability is there. The governments know who you are. Where you are. The church you belong to. You can't hide. Remember, Satan is the prince of this world. The beasts are in reality his babies, manifestations of his hatred for Christ, and his vehicles for destroying His people. The final issue is over worship and whose authority you surrender to. We will be hated of all nations for His name's sake. All nations. It isn't about Israel. It's about you and me and the other members here. Who's our true Lord? That question will be asked of all of us. Under duress. We need to prepare to answer that now. Tomorrow may be to late. And there's no rapture to hope in. We're here for the duration.
Therefore, according to Jewish Law and Prophesy about the Messiah they have to REBUILD THE TEMPLE!!!
What makes something holy? The temple was holy because of the presence of God. When the glory left, the building became desolate. Jesus left the temple for the last time a few days before His death, declaring to the Jews, your house (no longer God's) is left into you desolate. The church, the true church having Christ abiding within, is now the holy place. It ceases to be holy when it apostatizes, as the holy Spirit is grieved and leaves, becoming desolate. When the abomination of desolation, which in Jesus' day were the idolatrous standards of pagan Rome being planted within the confines of Jerusalem, but in our day is the presence of papal Roman standards being hoisted and welcomed without challenge in the church, then does the abomination of desolation void the church of it's sanctity. Those who continue the protest, who sigh and cry for the shininess being done in the church, spiritual Israel, are the remnant who have the testimony of Jesus and keep His commandments. They remain holy through the presence of the holy Spirit in their midst. A physical temple in the future is superfluous to requirements. It will not belong to God. It will not be holy. It will not be a fulfillment of prophecy.And yet the red heifers are coming into Israel, while elaborate preparations have been made to set up the third temple in Jerusalem. So trying to deny reality is always a mistake. According to Christ Himself, there must be a third temple in Jerusalem in order for the Abomination of Desolation to be set up in "the Holy Place".
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), Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: (Mt 24:15,16).
There is only one "holy place" mentioned in the Bible, and that is within the temple at Jerusalem. Since there is no temple there at present, it shall be built to fulfil prophecy. Not "of God" but "permitted by God".
When Jesus said "whoso readeth let him understand" he already anticipated naysayers such as yourself. Just like it was unimaginable until 1948 that there would actually be a nation-state of Israel in Palestine, it is unimaginable to many that there will actually be a temple in Jerusalem in the near future.
