When I started Sunday School a long, long, long time ago, the teacher stressed that in order to understand the scriptures one had to read them all, in order, in context, as written and then come to a conclusion as to the meaning. When studying a problematic passage gather all the scriptures that have a bearing on the question and then compare and contrast, in context, to find out the consistant meaning of the author as reconciled with the other authors. Chuck must have had the same teacher.
What happened in the days of Noah? God was ready to pour out his wrath upon the earth and he took all the righteous people in the world (all 8 of them) and put them on the ark and they were spared from the wrath of God.
Well God is going to pour out his wrath once again. However now all the people who have put their faith and trust in Christ are imputed with righteousness, and thus they will also be rescued from the wrath to come.
So one way or another every Christian will avoid the wrath of God during the tribulation. We will all either be killed by the powers of darkness before it begins or we will be rescued by Christ. I suspect the scriptures would suggest that the latter is a more plausible explanation.
