The seven years of the Great Tribulation is Jacob’s trouble. First 3 1/2 years of birth pains precedes the final 3 1/2 of years as to the anti Christ’s taking over the temple in Jerusalem. These last 3 1/2 years will be times of death and anguish, but there will be salvation for the lost of Israel with the church (body of Christ) in motion to be used, as vessels, for God’s glory. The born again believer has the promise of eternity with Christ. Therefore, to die (in this body) is gain. The wrath of God is Eternal Torment after the death in these sinful bodies. The Rapture is post-tribulation, and the dead buried in Christ will rise from their graves to rule and reign with Jesus for 1000 years. Christ returns for all of the Bride at once. There is no part of the church having coffee with him, as in pre-rapture, for 3 1/2 years waiting for the dead to join them after the tribulation. The Bride is one Body. The importance of having your lamp full is a critical must.
