Rapture or Martyrdom?
If the rapture comes after the Great Tribulation, then it will not be the Blessed Hope anymore. More like damned hope. I know post tribbers will say that even the early church was severely persecuted & suffered martyrdom without escape. But i want to say that the Great Trib is unlike any other persecution in times past. It is a terrible time to live in. There is no escape whatsoever. It is unprecendented in history.
Let me ask you a question. If u cannot even endure the persecution that u are going thru now, how can anyone possibly endure the Great Tribulation? Anyway, Jesus will not beat up His bride before the marriage supper! He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able to bear but will provide a way of escape so that we can bear the temptation. 1 Cor. 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. " Is the Great Trib common to man? It isn't! So God will provide an escape for the faithful Christians! & God is faithful to us even when we are unfaithful at times. God understands what we are going thru in our daily lives. He knows our struggles. Dont give up!
Jesus taught us to pray in the Lord's prayer this: Matt. 6:13 "And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen." Yes, lead us NOT INTO TEMPTATION. I believe He is referring to the Great Trib also. So it's possible that one can be led into the Great Trib. So let's pray this prayer everytime so we wont be led into it or any temptation for that matter.
Some Christians around the world are already being martyred for their faith. I salute their faiths. May God also help us as we proceed towards the time of the end to endure for our faith & stay faithful to Him, even in the face of martyrdom.
