First let me say this, I am not taught by a "church." What I have gathered is biblical. Please directly confront the specific texts I have posted, especially the ones stating Jesus' return with all His saints. Also how it is described in the text as all the bowls being the wrath of God.
Once you have satisfied these texts for me then maybe I may be more swayed to your point of view, until then I am forced to believe as it is written.
I've tried to make it easy for you. But if you won't heed God's Holy Writ about it, and want to believe something else, what can anyone do to help you?
1Thes 5:1-9
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3
For when they shall say, "Peace and safety"; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
(KJV)
Rev 6:14-17
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us, and
hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For
the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
(KJV)
Isa 13:6-11
6 Howl ye; for
the day of the LORD is at hand;
it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
(KJV)
Zeph 1:14-18
14 The great
day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even
the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16
A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17
And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy: for He shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
(KJV)
Rom 2:5-8
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against
the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
(KJV)
Rev 11:18
18 And the nations were angry, and
Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged
, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Thy name, small and great;
and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
(KJV)
Rev 16:15-21
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
(KJV)
All of those above Scripture examples agree perfectly with each other. God's wrath upon the wicked occurs AT THE SAME TIME WHEN CHRIST RETURNS TO GATHER US, on "the day of the Lord". That "day of the Lord" timing is when Paul said Christ's coming "as a thief" happens!
Apostle Paul well knew those he was speaking to in 1 Thess.5 had already learned all that from the Old Testament Books! That's why... he said he had no need to tell them of the times and the seasons, which is what Christ's coming "as a thief" on the "day of the Lord" event is about!!!
All that is direct Bible proof that God's wrath will only occur with Christ's second coming as a thief in the night, and, that wrath ENDS... the tribulation time our Lord Jesus mentioned in Matt.24. Thus, tribulation timing DOES NOT EQUAL God's wrath time.
