@Ziggy your initial scripture quotes revealed an interesting direction of thought that perhaps went unappreciated. The current popular view of the future entails a time of intense tribulation followed by plagues that decimate areas of the planet with tremendous destruction. You quoted passages depicting that, and correctly saying that God's people will live through that, protected, but witnesses to God's judgement. Then, the second coming of Jesus, and Him taking God's people back to heaven with Him. Yet in the confusion of hermeneutics we have a variety of scenarios whereby some are raptured prior to the destruction, and return with Jesus 3 and a half years or 7 years later, at which time all the remaining wicked are destroyed. In the midst of all this confusion are nuclear wars and numerous other conflicts and strife whereby cities are levelled and most of the planet made uninhabitable. The scriptures mention great earthquakes whereby mountains are thrown into the sea. Where the earth itself, the entire planet, is tossed backward and forward like a yo yo.
Yet God's people are given this broken, poisoned, unsafe, wasteland as an inheritance? This is the earth the meek are to inherit?
