GOD’s wrath is not the same as the Great Tribulation...
Rapture:
1 Thess. 4:13-18 -
Meeting he church in the air.
1 Corinthians 15:52 -
No signs to herald Christ’s coming for his Church. This will come in the twinkling of an eye.
1 Thessalonians 1:10 -
“and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.”
Christians will be delivered from the “coming wrath.”
Revelation 6:8 -
Describes the coming wrath where 1/4 of the population is destroyed.
Second Coming:
Zechariah 14:4 - No meeting in the air, Jesus returns to earth on the Mount of Olives
Revelation 1:7
“every eye shall see him”
Unlike the rapture, Jesus will be seen by all.
2 Thessalonians 2: 6-7 indicates that the man of sin can’t be revealed until there’s a removal of a restraining power “Church/body of Christ”
