>> “Well, duh, the Rapture IS what God designed as the escape” <<

.
But he didn’t call it a ‘rapture,’ he called it a resurrection, and said that we would meet him “in the spirit” in a cloud, and that it would be the event that ended Satan’s tribulation of the saints.

He promised persecution, torture, and death from Satan’s people to us, and promised that we would not experience the Father’s wrath that would begin as we were resurrected in the spirit.

No escape is required, only belief of what he told us, and obedience. He will protect us in the place he will prepare in the desert, if we follow his commandments. That was what he stated to the Philadelphians in Revelation 3.

Or not! We can be like the rest of the churches, not watching, and he will come as a thief.

It appears that you have conflated the Spiritual Church members with those being persecuted during the Tribulation. If you cling to that Roodism we have no grounds for discussion. Michael Rood is not a source for clear Biblical teaching, by his own admission of opposing 'modern Christianity.'

Have a nice day
