I believe we are in the part of Revelation where the Apostle John writes: 9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under(A) the altar(B) the souls of those who had been slain(C) because of the word of God(D) and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long,(E) Sovereign Lord,(F) holy and true,(G) until you judge the inhabitants of the earth(H) and avenge our blood?”(I) 11 Then each of them was given a white robe,(J) and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,[a] were killed just as they had been.(K)
This is the 5th seal. Do not confuse this with the vial. That is reserved for Gods wrath and those who take the mark of the beast. We must be patient and know that the antichrist will make war with the saints. We will be beheaded. There is no pretrib rapture. It is a false teaching. We must endure until the end. We shall soon see a new Jewish temple and the emergence of an antichrist that claims to be true f God. Mega warning to be prayed up and studied up. Do not take another man’s word for anything. Study the word of God for yourself and let the power of the Holy Spirit reveal the truth to you. Too much tv time and not enough God time. Learn the word. You will soon need it!
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 22:20
During the "tribulation," salvation is based on faith and works. You can lose it. The sole purpose of that dispensation is the restoration of the nation of Israel and the bringing in of the Kingdom of Heaven. The Bride of Christ, the body of believers in the age of Grace, is gone by then.
Revelation 6 KJV 2 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.
This is the seal that sends the antiChrist into the world to CONQUER. His allies, death and hell, follow him. This cannot take place until "He Who letteth is taken out of the way."
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.
What restrains the antiChrist now is the Holy Spirit. And He gets taken out with the church He gathered.
There is no works. Works based salvation is herecy.
Yeah I'm not convinced there's a rapture pretribulation either; if there is one, then why would the angels need to mark the foreheads of the Christians before the vial gets poured...there might be a rapture, but not too convinced it will happen pretribulation.
Revelation 7 KJV 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
It doesn't call them "Christians," it calls them "servants." And servants do works. No Christian has to work for salvation.
Exactly. Why would Christ say all these things need be fulfilled before that great day? Mid trib pre wrath is what the Bible teaches. The pre trib has only been taught about 250 years. Mid 1800,s is the oldest account of any writing that has been found to speak of this gnostic teaching.
I agree with study the Word! The Holy Spirit will guide you into truth 100%
Pre tribulation rapture (or Harpazo) absolutely has the weight of Scripture to back it up, 100%. You are teaching lies to people.
“On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not. Malachi 3:17-18 NIV

He will spare them from his wrath not tribulation.
His wrath is the 70th week of Daniel. The Church is promised to be free from His wrath. We are told to "encourage one another with these words." The marriage of the Church to Jesus makes no sense according to Jewish wedding tradition of Jesus day if we are first put through 7 years of trumpets and bowls and WRATH before we are joined in marriage for the promised feast.
The vials are not poured out until the trumpets are blown. The trumpets represent the 7 years. The vials represent what God pours out on those left behind after Christ gathers the dead. I can prove it 100% in scripture. Once the abomination of desolation takes place there is a time span of about 75 days where the saints will be persecuted. Christ says if not for the shortening of those days would no flesh be saved. This is when Christ comes to raise the dead and gather all of those who remain. We will in our new spiritual bodies to witness Christ pour out the rath that has been saved for the ones with the mark. C.I. Scofeild wrote a study Bible that he got all of his ideas for from John Darby. Darby got the idea from a little 14 year old girl who was hallucinating during a bad fever. If the church escapes before the anti christ takes his place then nothing in scripture about the last day makes sense. And therefore we need theological doctors to tell us what to believe. Wrath and tribulation are two different things that come at two different times. The church will be persecuted. Another word for this is tribulation. But Christ will get us before the vials are poured out. Pre trib is the biggest false teaching that has caused this pretend Christianity to run a muck. The majority who say they are Christian are too proud to admit they are not born again but couldn’t hold a 5minute conversation about scripture.
