Zephaniah Chapters 1-3 describes what is currently happening and what will in prophecy happen to Evil and Complacent and what will happen with God’s remnant. Yes, this was during Old Testament times and Zephaniah was a minor prophet, but this s about end times and we are in the beginning of them.

Pre tribulation rapture is a false docterine.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Holy Spirit sent unto the world. To gather the church. And to restrain the antiChrist
2 Thessalonians 2:7 KJV For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Taken out of the way, with the church He has gathered
1 Thessalonians 4:17 KJV 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.
Meeting in the air, not on Earth. Our Lord does not return until after the tribulation.
Revelation 6:2 KJV And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
First seal opened, antiChrist goes forth to conquer
1 Thessalonians 5:9 KJV For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ
2nd, 3rd and 4th seals release death, famine and hell. God's Wrath.
Revelation 1:10 KJV I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
John, taken out of his body and placed into the Day of the Lord, heard behind Him (in the past) a great voice
1 Thessalonians 4:16 KJV 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
Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Come up hither. Before any seals are broken.
We would need to sit dow so I can show you how all of those scriptures are taken out of context and out of order. The rapture happens after the antichrist has declaimed himself Christ and has declared war on the saints. He cannot declare war on the elect if they are already raptured. Then once we are gathered with Christ we come with him to the earth in the span of one hour to destroy every wicked thing upon the face of the earth. Then it’s a 1000years of christens reign then gig and Magog and then the new jaruselem. There is no third coming of Christ. C.I. Scofeild was a heretic!

These are tribulation saints, those who took not the mark and were beheaded for the Word of God. Church age saints leave before all this.

Christ takes the Church, before the tribulation, to the Marriage of the Lamb. Tribulation saints are invited to the supper but are not of the bride. After this we return with Christ, at Armageddon.

After all these years of being confused, this is the year that I finally accepted dispensationalism. Now it all makes perfect sense. I haven't gotten into Scofield yet but I did read all of Clarence Larkin's book. It's not heresy, it's the truth. Adam was made innocent, from the time of breathing in life through his nostrils to the eating of the forbidden fruit, age of innocence, no one convicted of sin, life eternal built in. After the forbidden fruit, a total different dispensation, the age of Consciousness.
One of my biggest previous issues was not realizing that the sole purpose of the tribulation/wrath is to restore the nation of Israel. The Old Testament is full of references to this, but you miss them if you don't separate dispensations. Unbelieving gentiles will suffer the tribs but the purpose, at Armageddon, is Christ leading Israel back into their Earthly Kingdom.
Knowing this has harmonized the Bible.
How can they be tribulation saints without being persecuted or another word for persecution, tribulated without going through the tribulation? It does not make sense. Darby was wrong bro.
Unbelievers that repent during the tribulation. If you notice, it is a faith and works based salvation during this dispensation. Don't take the mark, which does not apply to church age saints, we are sealed unto the day of redemption and cannot lose our salvation.
I never studied darby.
And we’re beheaded. Context bro. They will be killed only a few will be spared that are still alive and remain!
Many will hide. The days will be shortened also, for the elect's sake.
It is a post tribulation ( falling away, persecution of the saints by the antichrist) pre Gods wrath rapture that happens in the twinkling of the eye. Then in one hour we along with Christ destroy the enemy with a sword and with fire! Then Satan is bound in hell for a thousand years!
