‘You will have tribulation’ – This is one of many scriptures that have convinced me that the pre-trib rapture is an error in the teaching in many evangelical churches. God doesn’t save us from adversity, but in adversity.
God gives us a glimpse of The Great Tribulation in the story of the Hebrews escape from Egypt. They remained in Goshen while all ten plagues affected the whole country. They were surely affected by the plagues but not nearly as much as the Egyptians. God didn’t remove the Hebrews until after all the plagues were sent and just before the final judgment on Pharoah – the destruction of his army in the Red Sea.
This, I believe, is how The Great Tribulation will play out except that the number of Christians who will die in this period will make the Holocaust seem like child’s play. But fear not, God will be with us even then.
