The Tribulation

We discussed the Tribulation and visited the ongoing debate about Pre-Tribulation (wherein the faithful are taken up to heaven before the Tribulation), the Mid-Tribulation (wherein the faithful are taken up to heaven after three and a half years of the seven years of Tribulation), and Post-Tribulation (wherein the faith are taken up at the end of the Tribulations when Christ returns.) Evidence for the Post-Tribulation exists, for example, in Matthew 24:13 "But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved." The argument for Pre-Tribulation exists in 1 Thessalonians 5:9 "For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath..." and Revelations 3:10 "Because you have kept My command to preserver, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world..." Perhaps the verses could be combined to suggest that the faithful won't be called up until the end but they will be protected during the Tribulation. The discussion continues...
