Pre-trib, mid-trib, post trib. I have heard compelling teaching on all three of these concepts dealing with the rapture and when the church will be "caught up" with Jesus. Honestly, I tend to think we will be expected to endure to the end, becoming a sweet sacrifice to the Lord as we give our lives to share salvation with those last ones on the earth. I know, there are many of you who beg to differ; this is just what is in my heart when I ponder it.
What I personally believe is important in these "tribulation chapters" is the great wrath brought on the earth by The Almighty and the call of the voice in 18:4 to, "Come out of her, My people..." before the fall of Babylon. They are being called out before judgement comes and that's how it ties to what I believe about the tribulation. I can see myself compelling others to "come out!" of Babylon. What becomes obvious then, at least to me, is that this is what I need to be doing today.
Rise up, End Time People! Set a standard! Lead the others out of Babylon!
And prayerfully, with great reverence, I ask You Lord, to show me what this means.
