Taken, you are arguing an argument that is not in line with the OP at all. You are arguing that the Wrath of God, which doesn't come until the very end of the Tribulation period, has not begun yet. Many of you are doing this to deflect from the point of the OP.
.
I include, what Scripture includes...
You say...."the Great Tribulation HAS BEGUN".
Regardless of WHICH version you favor...
1) Tribulations that come down from Heaven, BY Gods Authority...ARE expressly Because of Gods ANGER, which He reveals TO this world, BY HIS WRATH, THROUGH Acts of Tribulation. (Suffering, devastation, destroying, ON A HUGH SCALE ... "not small scale, here and there".)
THE foretold Prophecy of what MUST OCCUR, BEFORE .... the GRAND WRATH of God....
IS...Birth pangs.
Followed BY...the Lambs Wrath
....Saving of SOME.
Followed By...the Devils Wrath
....Saving of SOME.
Followed BY....
....
THE ENTIRE REMAINDER OF THE EARTHS OCCUPANTS HEARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, effect BY A holy Angel of God and "THEY" being SAVED THEN...or NOT.
Followed BY...
....Saving of NONE corrupt.
You are preaching....the "GREAT TRIBULATION HAS BEGUN"......
WHEN....the BIRTH PANGS...have not yet passed.
WHEN....the 7 Seals, 7 Trumps have not yet manifested or passed.
The very verses you cite describe the beginning of the Tribulation period, and all that it entails. The verses you purposely left out, 9-14, are part of that description.
Your OP is bogus and some of your comments stray from the Scriptural facts.
"Immediately after THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS ..."
Matthew 24:29
He is referencing the events that He has just laid out in the verses leading up to that point and states that when they are done, the Wrath of God will commence with the gathering of the elect and so forth. This thread is about the events PRIOR to that.
The Great Tribulation consists of all the world calamities and miseries of people all over the world PRIOR to the end which will THEN be the Ultimate Wrath of God. It is not, by any means, premature to claim that we are likely in the very beginnings of the Tribulation period at this time. Consider ALL THINGS taking place in every country all over the world right now.
Tribulations and Trials BY men UPON the Earth and UPON men on the Earth, is nothing new.
Tribulations and Trials BY God UPON the Earth and UPON men on the Earth, is nothing new.
Noah's "personal"
LONG TIME, hearing, learning, believing, trials, tribulations, preparing, preaching Foreknowledge given Noah (approx 120 years)....
Foreknowledge FOR Gods Anger, TO BE Manifested BY and THROUGH Gods Wrath, UPON the Face of the Earth, and UPON all Terrestrial things, ON the Face of the Earth...Great Tribulation UPON the Face of the Earth....
^^^ REFLECTION....ON NOAH'S DAYS....AFTER THE FACT....is referenced as A PAST, a FIRST, Great Tribulation.
Matt 24:
[
21] For then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
* Reflecting....on Noah's days...Foreknowledge;
The step by step knowledge that would effect the earth's corrupt inhabitants...
* Reflecting....Noah a preacher of Gods righteousness.
* Reflecting...the whole world was corrupt.
* Reflecting...through history;
the corrupt routinely; agitate, mock, ignore, deny, reject, instigate against, etc. those IN Faith IN God...
* Reflecting...Specific "Corrupt", of the world in Noah's Day, "NOT identified", by name, or specific Acts.
*
DID Noah suffer being mocked? his works sabotaged? his preaching rejected? Etc. ? "LIKELY".... (as historical human nature reveals repetative acts)... WHICH ARE Tribulations men suffer, at the hands of men.
* Reflecting....
The WAY and Direction of Gods PLAN...for NOAH to ESCAPE...Gods Anger, Gods Wrath, Gods Tribulation sent down from Heaven, to destroy the Face of the Earth and it's corrupt Inhabitants.
* Reflecting...
Nothing new under the sun. What was shall be.
* FOREKNOWLEDGE...
* ANOTHER GREAT TRIBULATION IS COMING..
* Years of Tribulations ... (of men) LEAD UP to the Tribulations ... (SORROWS) that will COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
* TRIBULATION(S) WILL AGAIN COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN (of, by, through Gods Authority & Power)....BECAUSE of Gods Anger, Gods Wrath.
* EVERY INHABITANT "OF" and "ON" the EARTH...ARE "OFFERED" Foreknowledge:
OF.... HOW TO ESCAPE ALL or PAORTIONS of Gods Tribulations that shall AGAIN come down from Heaven.
* EVERY INHABITANT "OF" and "ON" the Earth .... "SHALL BE GIVEN"... Foreknowledge OF Gods "TRIBULATION(S)" and "ULTIMATE INCREASED" "TRIBULATION(S)
* BEFORE...
God DESTROYS the corrupt Earth and it's corrupt inhabitants.
IF....
IF a person reads, studies, understands THE "FIRST" Tribulation(S) by men...and GREAT TRIBULATION sent down from Heaven...AND RESULT.
AND
* The ORDER and WAY OF Noah's ESCAPE...
AND
Reads, studies, understands THE "LAST" Tribulation(S) by men...and LAST GREAT TRIBULATION sent down from Heaven...AND RESULT to be manifested...
* ANY man could FREELY "choose", TO BE secure TO ESCAPE GREAT TRIBULATIONS foretold to come down from Heaven.
Learn the differences...between:
* Man on man tribulations.
* Gods "intermittent" tribulations; small scale "here and there" ie divers places.
* Gods "increased" tribulations; 1/3 world destructions.
* God "ultimate" tribulations; total world destructions.
* Scriptural WARNINGS...TO ESCAPE.
* Scripture KNOWLEDGE..HOW TO ESCAPE.
* Scriptural UNDERSTANDING...WHEN ESCAPE is no longer an option.
YOUR OP "implies"...the world HAS ENTERED the POINT, ESCAPE is no longer an option...
THAT ^ is not true.
