QUESTION: RAPTURE OF CHRIST'S HOLY BRIDE- IS IT PRE-TRIBULATION, MID-TRIBULATIONOR POST-TRIBULATION?
HOLY SCRIPTURES SAY: IT IS PRE-GOD'S WRATH!
Dear brothers and sisters,
The Lord has revealed to me that the Rapture of the Bride is pre-God's Wrath, because the Bride of Christ is NOT appointed to suffer the coming wrath of God upon this sinful world (1 Thess 5:9). Scriptures tell us that the time of God's wrath begins at the opening of the 6th Seal (Revelation 6:12-17), which also marks the start of the great and terrible Day of the LORD (Joel 2:30-31).
The classic pre-Tribulation Rapture belief teaches that we will be taken up from this world BEFORE any kind of tribulation befalls us. Unfortunately, this wrong belief has confused and misled many Christians, because the Lord has revealed through the Logos and many Rhema Words that His Bride must go through a time of increasing birth pains in the world, before the end of this church age comes with the Rapture of His beloved Bride (Matt 24:6-14). Indeed, we are already seeing signs of these prophesied birth pains all around us, and we are going to go through some more tribulation before the Rapture happens.
This doesn't mean that the Bride will leave in a mid-Tribulation Rapture, because the Lord has explained to some of us that the Rapture of the Bride will happen shortly after the 6th Seal Judgment. The Holy Scriptures record this in Revelation 7:9-17, BEFORE the 7th Seal is opened in Revelation 8:1. The birth pains mentioned in Scriptures happen over the course of the first 5 Seals, which the Lord has also confirmed to some of us as being opened already. We are now awaiting the coming 6th Seal opening. The 7th Seal and the 7 Trumpets will occur during the first 3.5 years of the Great Tribulation, while the 7 Bowls will happen during the second 3.5 years of Daniel's 70th Week.
Many believers cannot accept this Revelation timeline, because they are under the mistaken assumption that the global effects of the first 4 Seals or the 4 Horsemen must be completed before the subsequent 5th and 6th Seals can be opened. In one of my earlier Rhema Words from the Lord, He has explained that the 4 Horsemen are unique because they will ride continually until the end of the 7-year Great Tribulation (Daniel's 70th Week). Therefore, the global effects of the first 4 Seals are accumulative through the time of the Great Tribulation on earth, and will be completed only at the end of that period.
Please seek the Lord in prayer personally for confirmation, for He will reveal His truth through His Holy Spirit (John 16:13), and through His Holy Scriptures (Acts 17:11).
Shalom!
