Pre - Before the Tribulation from Heaven …
Sent Because of WRATH…

The Wrath of The Lamb…
Toward those who Rejected Him.

The Wrath of the Devil …
Toward those who will Reject him.

The Wrath of God…
Toward those who Rejected Him.

All happens During the Great Tribulation sent from Heaven upon the whole Earth.

That Tribulation…its Effects…
Those Wraths……
Have Zero Application to THEY who ARE Saved Before The Tribulation BEGINS.

Nothing new under the Sun.
Just AS Faithful Noah, his Family Were NOT required to be:
Subject to …Gods Wrath
Subject to….Gods First Great Tribulations
“THEY” were LIFTED UP, above the face of the Earth….
While they ON Earth Suffered Destruction.

Greek…. Harpazo…means a Quick Removal.

Latin….. Rapio / Rapere’…means a Quick Removal.

English… Rapture…means a Quick Removal

1 Thes 4: 15-17,
describes the Quick Removal..
tells Who is Removing…
tells Who is Being Removed…
tells WHERE they are being Removed TO.

Matt 24:
Informs men, to be Prepared…
Because…there will be “A Removal of Some and Some will Remain ON Earth”

Matt 24:
[38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
[39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

The Rapture IS the Lord Quickly Taking AWAY from the Face of the Earth…
Those that HE ALREADY Saved… and are not required to suffer Wrath or Tribulations Sent from Heaven.

Wrath is appointed to the Unsaved.
Wrath is Not appointed to the Saved.

1 Thes 5:
[9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Post/Trib “Rapture”…. No.
There is NO Rapture, Quickly carrying away / or up Anyone After the Tribulation.

There is a GATHERING of the Body’s of the Saved ON Earth, who Remain ON Earth.
They “GO” nowhere.
Called First Resurrection.
Their Saved soul and Quickened spirit in Heaven, shall be returned to their new body on Earth.

The Third Return?
No Such Thing.

Glory to God,
Taken
Excellent post.

The christians who are alive at the time of the pre-trib rapture will not suffer the wrath....as Jesus paid for our wrath on the cross.

Yet...
What many fail to realize?
The Rapture?
And, the Resurrection of the Church?
Are one and the same.
The same event is what I would say.
Those that have died in the past 2,000 years will be resurrected and those still alive at the rapture will receive new glorified bodies.

Noah Truth destroys pre-trib = as in the days of Noah....I Come for PRE-Wrath Deliverance as PROMISED = 1 Thess 1:10 & 5:9

Lot destroys pre-trib = "remember Lot's wife"....I Come for PRE-Wrath Deliverance as PROMISED = 1 Thess 1:10 & 5:9
I can understand you moving the date up from the end of the tribulation....as it doesn't represent the "economy" of the days of Noah and Lot....but, I also understand at the removal of the restrainer....the bride of Christ is also removed....then the anti-Chist is revealed and given full reign.

You should learn all the Titles that Apply to The Lord God, and What He is doing while on behalf of that Title…

Men as well have Titles, and perform tasks, deeds, under the authority of whichever Title…

For Example…Donald Trump has numerous Titles…
Husband, father, dad, father-in-law, business owner, CEO, Neighbor, Acquaintance, Uncle, Chief, Commander, Employer, Boss, Grandfather, Executive Head, Diplomat, Mr. Trump, Associate, etc.

Yet in ALL likelihood…there is ONLY one Title the Majority of People should properly Address him…. Precisely established by a one To Relationship with him…
American?
Mr. President

The same applies to the Lord God Almighty.
Jesus may be “one man’s”, Rabbi, Teacher, Savior, Christ, Truth, Friend, God, Brother, Brethren, Seed, King, OR Lord, etc.
But not another’s man.

Glory to God,
Taken
I don't disagree with your post....I simply don't understand how it speaks to the economy that is present at the time of the rapture.

You have motivated me.
I have been looking in the Greek text to see if there are any warnings against people who love to gaslight Christians.
You sound like a Pretribber. Lol.

JESUS is also referencing the IMPORTANCE of believing His every word with child-like faith.

Without such, JESUS says we cannot enter His Kingdom

It also can mean that when we are Resurrected all of us will be transformed into a childlike state of happiness in our minds.
That no can enter the Kingdom unless they are transformed into that childlike state!

For there are quite a few believers who live wrong and God disciplines them in deep unhappiness as punishment.
When resurrected? They can not remain that way to enter into His Kingdom!

That is why it says.... There will be no more tears and no more sorrow!

When entered into His Kingdom all will have been given the capacity for immense joy and happiness for ever more.

Jesus said that only the greatest become in this lifetime already living in the happiness of a child before they die!
Those ones can know within themselves that they have been given that state of mind to let them know that they
will be one of the greatest ones to be in the Kingdom with great rewards and blessings beyond the normal
happiness all must receive when resurrected.

For, look here~ Some will lose all rewards!
BUT! These ones will not lose their salvation!

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 tells us...​
For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be
revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work
which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned,
he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Understand that?

If anyone’s dead works are burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

That means we can't lose our salvation no matter how poorly we walked after believing in Christ.
Meaning?
No matter how poorly it turns out for a believer when he is evaluated by the Lord?
He can only lose his rewards the Lord wanted so much to give him.
But will remain being saved from Hell!

Here it is!

All should read this and stop trying to frighten believers into believing they can lose their salvation.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me,
but raise them up at the last day. John 6:39​

Grace and peace .....!

The issue is not the catching away. That is beyond dispute. It is a biblical fact. It is rather the extra-biblical idea of a trib period following it and then a 3rd coming. That is a the point of contention.
Third coming?

Who concocted that one?

You mean at the end of the Millennium?

Why would Jesus want to come back to all unbelievers if all believers would be removed at the end of the Millennium?

My post was not addressing the economy. Rather I was speaking about Roles revealed by a Title.

Do you believe the catching away of the Church when Jesus comes is the end? Do you believe anyone survives that? If so, on what grounds?

When Jesus catches us away (just before the great tribulation) we will be with the Lord in heaven for the seven years of the Tribulation.
Seven years for our preparation for us to return with Him to reign over the earth for the Millennium.
For He is called Lord of lords, and King of kings.

Once we are given our resurrection bodies?
Our abilities will have become far beyond what our present ability to comprehend and to grasp.
What we will be able to do, think, and accomplish will be remarkable.

But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined,
are the things God has prepared for those who love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9​

grace and peace ............

The Bride of Christ is NOT the Restrainer.

SEE here: 2 Thess 2:6
And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work;
only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

The Restrainer is either a or b
a.) The Holy Spirit
b.) Michael the Arch Angel


Neither the Holy Spirit nor Michael are removed from the earth when the Antichrist is revealed.

SEE here:
a.) Matthew12:28
If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

b.) Daniel 12:1 AND Revelation 12:7
“At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;

And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.

And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

AGREE 100%

So then it is BOTH A + B
A.)
We enter into the Kingdom now, when we are Born Again = John 3:1-10
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

4Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

5Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

When we are Born-Again there is GREAT JOY in our Salvation = Fully knowing God's Love, Mercy and Forgiveness upon our spirit & soul through the Precious Blood of CHRIST

B.) Revelation 7:17
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Upon leaving this earth to be with the LORD, our JOY is now COMPLETE as we no longer are under the persecution of Satan and this world.

IMPORTANT = A MUST come before B or we will not experience B

Who is the Holy Spirit now indwelling?
The Church.

The Body of Christ is his Church.
We will be removed.

As salt of the earth we have been a restrainer.
God uses the Church by means of the indwelling Holy Spirit as a restrainer over the ways of fallen men in a nation.

Gene this is ULTRA IMPORTANT and it will HELP you to understand even MORE

The HOLY SPIRIT will never leave a Blood Washed Saint walking with Christ

Here is the EVIDENCE = Revelation 12:11 and Rev 14:9-13

And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying:
“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of His Christ.
For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down—
he who accuses them day and night before our God.
11They have conquered him/Satan by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony.

And they did not love their lives
so as to shy away from death.

And a third angel followed them, calling out in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand, he too will drink the wine of God’s anger, poured undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented in fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Day and night there is no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”

Here is a call for the perseverance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.”

The Bride of Christ is NOT the Restrainer.

But, collectively? The Bride of Christ is the Temple of The Restrainer!

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you,
whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with
a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20​

The Temple and the Restrainer shall be removed in the Rapture!
