Those saved but not looking for the return of Jesus will be left behind and must try to live under anti-christ rule and the years of he great tribulation.
Can't agree with this perspective.
Everything hinges on Heartfelt Belief, IN Thee God Almighty and Christ Thee Lord Jesus, and Confession of that Belief. <--- THAT triggers the Lords response to prepare that Individuals for that Individuals. The Lord is not Lax in preparing those who heartfully call on Him.
Looking for the Lord is about an Individuals anticipation of a happy and joyful day...
Whereas Individuals who have heard and rejected the Lord God, shall suffer consequences being without Him.
Such ^ Individuals shall be Whaling when they SEE the Lord. Whaling is cries and weeping of anger and pain. <--- A complete Opposite of Individuals who shall SEE the Lord in Joy and Gladness.
Why choose to go to heaven the hard way??? Jesus says pray you be counted worthy to escape!
To this point, I would say two things...
1) A Sav-ED and Born Again Individual already has established TRUST in Thee Lord God, that His word IS TRUE, and He Shall gather them Unto Himself.
(Souls gathered unto Him, should they BE IN CHRIST, Before the Son of Man returns...
As Well the Rapture (Claiming, uplifting), of Christ's Church, When the Son of Man descends From Heaven to the Clouds.)
2) A Jew who "has" Kept His Faith IN God, "continued" Under the Law, HAS heard Jesus IS the Christ Messiah, BUT, HAS NOT, Accepted Jesus AS their Christ Messiah, BECOME the "worthy" to be Taught BY "Children of Israel" God has prepared to SEND to Such Individuals, that THEY, can Receive and Believe the TRUTH (from "THEIR OWN") of Christ the Lord Jesus; Accept Him, and "THEY Become Saved BY, THROUGH, and UNTO Him.".
(Ie...Two witnesses.
(ie...144,000 from the 12 tribes of Israel.
(Ie..The Individuals fleeing Jerusalem
(Ie..,Killing of the Bodies of Israelites who
.......reject submission of the World "leader".
(Ie...Saving of the Souls "under the alter"
......during the "Wrath of Lamb" ( the Lambs Wrath, ie SEALS Opening tribulation...
Rev 6:11
Rev 6
[
11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
(Ie...the gathering "together" of "their" souls "IN HEAVEN" (not the clouds), during the Nearing the ending of the SEALS Tribulation.
Rev 7
[
13] And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
[
14] And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
[
15] Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Glory to God,
