And you base this statement above in red from what passage dear brother?
Let me show you something from Jesus' own mouth.
Mat 24:
[SUP]21 [/SUP]For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake (Notice the Elect are still on earth!!) those days shall be shortened.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Again notice the Elect are still on earth!!)
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Behold, I have told you before.
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
[SUP]30 [/SUP]And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
Do you see ANY reference to the Lord's wrath in any of the above events contained between the start and end of the Tribulation?
The Lord Himself tells when the start and end of the Tribulation occurs and He describes events which occur during the Great Tribulation. If you simply READ, you will see that the Tribulation period is all about Satan's deception and has NOTHING to do with God's wrath!! This is where you, Brother Chosen and a whole host of other good Christians get confused.
God's wrath comes AFTER the Great Tribulation. This is so very important to understand. If you (and others) can't grasp this simple concept you are going to be in a world of hurt. The Bible is crystal clear about this. Now please turn to
Rev 6:
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
[SUP]17 [/SUP]For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Compare Mat 24:29 to the above. The Tribulation is over at Mat 24:29. This is when the Lord returns and this is when He pours out His wrath. This passage from Rev 6 could be put chronologically in order following Mat 24:29.
Don't let the imagery in Revelation throw you. The whole book is spiritual. The events are spiritual. The seals, trumpets and bowls are largely spiritual. If you try to see everything in the physical world you may as well give up now. I'm just trying to help, not put you down.
