Christians been dying all over the world for centuries. The Bible is clear that in the days prior to Jesus' coming many, maybe even most Christians will be killed:
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
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:
alive and remain because MANY have already died by this point.
The book of Revelation talks about the number of martyrs becoming full.
No way out. Even if the pre-trib rapture is true, the so called "left behind" people which the Bible never talks about will become Christians and will be martyred. Same result, but the americans get to keep their stir fry and someone else has to take the hit. Convenient.
Thats something that should strike people as odd, there are ZERO verses in the Bible about a rapture happening and people being "left behind", zero advice is given to these people on what to do, zero mentions of this type of scene occuring. Its all dispensationalist science fiction
