What If There Is No Pre-trib Rapture?

Yes, brethren who believe in pre-trib rapture, what if there isnt any rapture before the Great Tribulation? What if we all have to go thru the Tribulation & be persecuted by the Antichrist? Will we be able to take it - to endure the hunger, thirst, pain, martyrdom etc? I believe in the pre-trib rapture but there are many verses in the bible that doesnt support pre-trib. Altho i must be fair in saying that there are many that supports a pre-trib view.

When i was a teenager as a Christian, we were praying & this leader was saying let us look forward to a post-trib rapture so that we can prepare for the worst if it happens to be post-tribulational. Let us pray that we can endure if it happens to be post-tribulational. Jesus told us in Rev 2:10-11 " 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death." Yes, we have to be faithful until death. Bcos physical death isnt the end of everything for us. We have eternal life thru Jesus Christ our Saviour & one day when He comes again a second time we will be resurrected with a new eternal body. The satanists & unbelievers will have to fear greatly bcos their judgement has come & eternal hell awaits.

But God is faithful. He wont allow us to be tempted beyond our means. He will provide a way of escape. Could this escape come in the form of a pre-trib rapture? Who can possibly endure the coming wrath? The Lord's prayer says to lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. The Great Trib is the hour of testing, trial & temptation for the people of the earth. Jesus doesnt wants us to be led into temptation but delivered from evil but could it be that Christians can still be led into temptation? So WE HAVE TO PRAY & WATCH EARNESTLY. Dont let Him catch u sleeping. Even if u sleep, u must prepare more oil just in case He comes on your watch. Remember the five wise virgins vs the five foolish virgins?

But the trial is for the people of the earth. We are citizens of heaven. We are not of the earth. We dont dwell on the earth. So we have to be careful to keep our minds focused on heaven & our treasures in heaven. Look up guys & gals! Jesus is coming again very very soon. Dont be left behind. But even if it's post-trib rapture, do not fear cos Jesus has overcome the world! Amen.

John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will F91 have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
