The church is going to be gone before anything, it's not our fault that we were made gentiles which are unbelievers but the israel are guilty of killing the messiah so that is why they will go through the tribulation [h=3]Matthew 27:24-25[/h]King James Version (KJV)
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
after the church age and the fullness of the gentiles come in the bride will be raptured away many people believe that the church will be in the tribulation because of the seals also but look at this
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
[h=3]Revelation 6:9-11[/h]King James Version (KJV)
do you see this? a born again believer would NEVER ask for vengence of those that kill them they would ask for forgiveness BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEIR KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD and that the unsaved person will be damned for ever look at stephen look at what he did
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
[h=3]Acts 7:55-60[/h]King James Version (KJV)
but before all of this happen the bride of christ will be long gone
[h=3]1 Thessalonians 4:16-17[/h]King James Version (KJV)
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
the dead in christ, the born again believers that are sleeping will rise first, no not everyone only the TRUE born again believers with christ in them that fell asleep on this earth will rise and we will be caught up in the sky to meet them, we meaning the believers who are still alive and haven't passed away, this event will be unseen to the world
