Many Christians believe that they will be caught away to God before the Tribulation. 

This is very troublesome.  Its troublesome because - with this kind of thinking - many wont be ready and will take the Mark of the Beast or the number of this name because they have not prepared themselves for the inevitable.  They wont be able to stand because they will be thinking that God would never allow such horrors of horrors to come upon believers in Christ.

They are taught a doctrine that will get them caught unawares.

 

Listen, the bible tells us that the devil will be given authority to overcome the saints.

Where does this authority come from?  ---> from God Himself.

But the good news is He dont allow anything to happen to His saints without warning and preparing His people first.

Take note, during the Tribulation the church will look every bit as physically defeated at the end of the battle as Jesus did hanging on the cross.

When Jesus was here on earth He was in His body - but when Jesus left the earth - He is in the Body of the Church.

Even though He was beaten abused and killed in the Body ->- He rose

Do you see that?

What happened to Jesus - is what will happen to us.  But we will rise!!!!

Thats nothing to fear - its something to rejoice about saints. :)

 

Yes Satan will over come the saints but this overcoming is in the natural. But in allowing themselves to be overcome in the natural, the saints will gain the victory by overcoming in the spiritual sense. This is the wisdom of the cross. And Jesus will demonstrate it again at the end of the age through His corporate body. He will raise us/His Body/the saints/the martyrs at the end times. 

Some of us will die and some will live to see Him come back. But when He does return - those that are dead in Christ will be raised first - then those that remain will be caught up to meet Him in the air.

 

Saints prepare yourselves to be worn out and abused by this hateful world.  Satan will be putting his thing down.  And only because God will allow him.  But God will allow him to only show that you can kill the flesh but the Power and Spirit of God is forever.

Can you give some scriptural evidence to support your position? Thanks.

IIThess2:3

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (Return of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

**See – Jesus is not coming back until the man of sin (AntiChrist) is revealed

 

Matt 24:27

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

**There will be NO SECRET rapture because the scriptures say when He comes back EVERYBODY will be able to see it.

 

Matt 24:29-31

 “Immediately AFTER the distress of those days

   “‘the sun will be darkened,
   and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
   and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

   “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

**There will be NO SECRET rapture because the scriptures say when He comes back EVERYBODY will be able to see it.

 

Matt 24:42-44

 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

 

And lastly, to think that the saints in America feel that God would not allow them to suffer persecution – they need to read about the different persecutions that saints are going through right now in other parts of the world – right now, right now, right now!

There are little children loosing their heads in south-east Asia for being followers of Christ.

There are women having their faces burned off for being followers of Christ.

There are pastors and their families in Africa that have died and are dying the most horrible deaths.  For instance there was a young pastor who had his church destroyed and had his arms chopped off and then was beat with his own arms.  As he lay dying – he told his wife to not hate his tortures but to pray for them.

And this stuff is happening before Tribulation so one can imagine what it will be like once Satan is allowed to do his thing with no restraints.

 

Yes, the saints will be caught away to meet Him in the air but only AFTER the tribulation.
