Mat 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. Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. The world has seen much tribulation in the past, but nothing compares with what is to come. The disappearance of the Church will mark the beginning of this event. 1Th 4:14-18, 1 Co 15:52, Matt.24:40-42 Lk. 21:36, Lk 17:34-36, Matt. 25:1-13.
We have heard of these things. We have been told of the multitudes that will simultaneously disappear from the face of the earth 1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
When this event happens, it will initiate the greatest evangelical movement that the world has ever seen! Rev 7:9 Millions will turn to God and trust in His salvation which is in Jesus Christ. It will not be a good time for these believers though. Rev 12:17, Rev 13:15. In fact they will all most certainly be killed. These end time martyrs will achieve a special place in the Kingdom of Heaven and in the presence of the Lord. Rev 7:14-17.
After these things have taken place, the wrath of God (the day of the Lord) will be upon the earth and all who remain. Rev 14:18-20.
It is possible to avoid all these things. We need to be counted worthy to stand before the Son of Man. (Jesus Christ) Lk 21:36. How can we be counted as worthy?
