Those that are born-again believers who are looking for and expecting Jesus's return "the rapture" will not be here for the great tribulation years under anti-christ beast rule.
Luke 21:36 – Jesus says “pray that you be counted worthy to escape these things” – meaning the horrors of God’s judgment.
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee,
even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice.
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words
are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Confirming the souls of the disciples,
and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
And not only
so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience.
I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Why would we even pray to be taken out of the way of that which God intends to our good and purifying and sure entrance into His kingdom?
Much less, why would God then do so, since plainly His grace is sufficient of us to help us through it in our time of need?
There are two kinds of tribulation in the world:
That of man's wrath from the devil upon the righteous: temptation, deception, persecution, which purifies the saints that remain firm unto the end. Tribulation and purification.
That of God's righteous wrath and indignation recompensed upon them that trouble His people: tribulation and anguish (Rom 2:9)
We are not appointed to the tribulation and wrath of God unto destruction (1 Thess 5:9), but we certainly are promised tribulation and grace of God to be purified thereby.
That last great tribulation on earth with begin with the beast upon the saints of the Lamb, ending in the First resurrection, and will conclude with the return of the Lord upon the inhabitors, who will be appointed by unbelief to destruction.
