I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful answer and of course all believers would love nothing more than to escape the time tribulation but I really don’t believe we will leave the earth until Christ’s return.
The Church has been persecuted throughout History. That is the wrath the persecution by man inspire by Satan’s hatred. But the Tribulation will be the Wrath of God. We are not appointed unto Wrath. I These 4 was given to comfort one another, not to warn one another.
Not to worry, so long as you believe He is The Savior, your Savior, He will will and do of His good pleasure. And it pleases God to Rapture away those in Christ as a Glory to Him, not the one being snatched away. Just be sure to keep oil in your lamp and a reserve for we know not the hour our Lord cometh.
It's not just "tribulation". The last days are God's wrath and those in Christ have been promised they will never be subjected to the wrath of God.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
