The WRATH of God does not fall on God's own people...The wrath of God is reserved for those who have persecuted God's people (the Great Tribulation), those who you are speaking of...
What you are speaking of in the above paragraph can happen at any time, and it's happening now in other countries...THAT is NOT the wrath of God...
Those are the people who will face world wide cataclysmic destruction upon the earth; not God's people...God's people will be removed from the earth before God wreaks havoc upon the earth...
Ah, you are making my point for me.
The point is, the first approximately 3.5 years of the tribulation are NOT the wrath of God, they are (like we are undergoing now), the permissive will of God.
That is, God allows evil to exist in this world - we are living in the fallen world.
Now, once the Tribulation begins, he will remove the restrainer, and the rule of the evil one will get MUCH worse.
Right now, Christians are undergoing persecution. They will also do that in the first portion of the Tribulation, as God removes the restrainer, and evil is allowed to wreck havoc on the world.
Then, Jesus will come, and the Wrath of God will begin. Jesus’s second coming will be with a sword!
Even the Pre-Trib Rapture believers acknowledge that Jesus will catch them up in the air (i.e. Jesus will NOT be on the earth in their understanding of the Pre Trib rapture).
