Will Christians go through the tribulation?

February 5, 2019 Reading Time: 2 minutes

Rapture in the Bible - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

No person knows when the rapture will happen.

Jesus responded to the disciples who wanted to know when the kingdom of God would be established: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.” (Jesus in Acts 1:7; NIV)

The date of the rapture shouldn’t concern you (the devil likes to use this to distract us from God and Jesus). Instead, you should build your understanding of God’s nature every day (by reading the Bible) and strengthen your personal relationship with God.

The Holy Spirit is holding back the Antichrist

As long as the Holy Spirit is still on the Earth, the Antichrist will not appear. As Jesus’ lamb you have received the Holy Spirit; you are sealed with Him in your true self, your spirit (Ephesians 1:13) and will never lose Him for all eternity (John 14:16).

That means: you must be away from the Earth. The Antichrist cannot appear before that because you have the Holy Spirit.

  • Inhabitants of the Earth will worship the Antichrist as God

“For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.” (2 Thessalonians 2:7; NIV)

No tribulation for those who are sanctified by Jesus

God-hostile forces are spreading the lie that we have to suffer the 7-year tribulation (or half). This is not biblical truth. This lie intends to make God seem evil. Wouldn’t you, as a loving father or mother to your child, do everything to save your child from the burning house? Of course.

For what purpose would God allow us (who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and have thus become holy) go through the 7-year tribulation? This completely contradicts God’s nature and character. Don’t let people make God seem evil. God loves you.

God will lift everyone who is saved through the shed blood of Jesus into the safe heaven before the worst time that mankind has ever experienced starts down here (“For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again.” – Jesus in Matthew chapter 24, verse 21; NLT).

Focus on God

Instead of worrying about the date of the rapture, focus on your personal relationship with God. Where do you find empowerment for your faith? In daily Bible reading (“Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment” – 1 Peter 2:2; NLT).

  • Will we have physical bodies in heaven after the rapture
  • Where is Jesus during the rapture?

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; NIV
