Hi RickyZ,
God never removes His people from the world's judgment, but He clues them in to what they must do to survive it.
The above is not true of the coming judgment. This coming judgment will be unprecedented and will come upon the entire earth. There will be no place to escape from the plagues that will be coming upon the earth, which is why the Lord will be removing his church prior to the on-set of his wrath.
There will be no way to escape when a fourth of the earths population via war, famine and plagues as a result of the first four seals.
There will be no way to escape a third of the earth and trees being burned up, causing many fatalities.
There will be no escape from those who live on the coast of that body of water when that asteroid/meteorite hits, which destroys all of the ships in that body of water and kills all of the creatures in the sea, equaling a third over all the earth.
There will be no escape from the results of the water being contaminated by that star like a torch called wormwood, which falls on a third of the rivers and springs of water, of which many die from drinking.
There will be no escape from the torment of those demonic beings that come up out of the Abyss who will torment the inhabitants for five months with tails and stings like that of scorpions.
There will be no escape from those four angels and their demonic army of 200 million who kill a third of what is left of mankind.
There will be no escaping the results of Satan and his angels being cast to the earth at the 7th trumpet/3rd woe.
There will be no escaping the 4th bowl judgment when the sun is given power to scorch the inhabitants with intense heat. Nor will there be any escaping any of the other bowl judgments.
God is going to remove his church before all of the above begins. Do you really believe that God is going to send his church through the plagues above? Does the wrath that Jesus suffered on our behalf satisfy God's wrath?
I continue to proclaim it: People do not understand the severity and magnitude of God's coming wrath. Nor do they truly understand what Jesus did for us if they believe that God is going to send his church, who have been reconciled and credited with righteousness, through his wrath.
No one is exempt from God's wrath during those days. Only the 144,000 are exempt from the 5th trumpet.
