Outline

Rev 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen(the Patmos vision of the Lord Jesus), and the things which are(the Church age found in Rev 2,3), and the things which shall be hereafter(events after the Church age: Rev 4-22) - indicates the Church will be caught up before the tribulation period begins.

Rev 3:10 ‘…I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.’

The Great Tribulation is a time when the divine wrath is to be visited upon earth-dwellers, particularly upon Israel. But the promise to the Church is that it has been delivered from the wrath to come.

1 Thess 1:9,10

1 Thess 5:8,9

Rom 5:8,9

The biblical attitude of the believer is one of waiting for the glorification of His body - Rom 8:23

And of looking for the Saviour - Phil 3:20,21

1 Thess 1:9,10 - we are to expect Him at any moment

Paul - Phil 4:5

Peter - 2 Peter 3:10

John - 1 John 3:2,3

All these apostles make the imminent coming of the Lord for the Church a ground of appeal for holy living and diligent service

There are four days in Scripture:

1. The day of man - man’s judgement - 1 Cor 4:3,4

2. The day of Christ - the Rapture - Phil 1:6

3. The day of the Lord - the Lord has His day of judgement, the tribulation period and the millennium - 2 Thess 2:2,3

4. The day of God - 2 Peter 3:12,13 - the millennium merging into eternity

2 Thess 2:1-12 states that the day of the Lord(the Great Tribulation) cannot come unless the departure of the Church from the earth comes first.

To the unsaved and the saved. A question.
