Actually guardian your taking Malachi 3:1- 6 out of context.
Brother,
I agree with what you said, Christ will come for his Curch and we will see tribulation, but I tell you. Are we not already oppressed and in tribulation? Has darkness not already fallen?
Our country has made laws against prayer in school, a boy was suspended because he was reading the Bible during free reading time. Another got into trouble for passing out bible verses during lunch. People have lost, or ben threstened to lose their lively hoods, because they would not partake in the others sin and celebrate that which God has ordained an abomination. Or that they would not provide a way to kill an unborn child (day after pill). You can google about this and find their articles/stories. Though their abomination sin is between them and God and I would not talk down to them, nor judge them. for we are all sinners. I also would not celebrate in their sin, just like celebrating murder or theft. I will not partake and bow down to Baal. I want you all to read this article below about NK and really look at the words used. Pre-tribulation? Are we not already in it? What do you think our brothers and sisters think, where ISIS is or in countries like North Korea. Where they are being killed. It said you will be hated by all nations for my names sake. Especially pay attention to those words in the article about NK.

They have even started to cancel prayers before "gov" meetings. Or in contrary allow satanic churches to hold prayer. Many will be offended and fall away because of it. Haven't they already? We have hate groups who claim they are Christians but teach hate. Again, making people fall away. You have pastors condoning murder as righteous, because a man mass murdered homosexuals and lesbians? Let he who is without sin. cast the first stone. Don't you see, look at your church and ask your pastor, better yet research it for your selves. Church attendance has dropped tremendously. Look at what is being preached.
As Matthew clearly states. immediately after the tribulation He comes and gathers his elect/the snatching away. Then the wrath is poured out, Israel is protected by God and God alone. They will then see Him for what He is then, because He comes as they had previously expected Him, as a conquer. Why was the last week in Daniel held off. Till the time appointed comes.
In "context" I know what your saying,
I ask you to remember though, how there is a foreshadowing brother, if the Bible is more then a word on a page. Then how deep is it?
Why was a lamb or male goat chosen by God to be slaughtered and it's blood put upon the doors? So that death would pass over them and not harm their first born. While it came and took all the Egyptians first born, Is that the only reason? Was that the end of the meaning?
Then brothers and sisters can we not say with confadence this was a foreshadowing of the blood of the lamb to be shed, so that by his blood and our repentance and acceptance would mark the door to our heart. Where he knocks? By accepting Him, who was sent by God and his blood sacrifice, Praise Be to God!! That it opens the door, that no man can shut, and marks the door to our heart. That when the time comes death will also pass over us.
Brothers and Sisters the Bible is more then words on a page, it's lives and breathes. It is three dementional in space and time connecting and proving itself again and again. This is what I am moved to say. That is why I stressed again, it is good to look for signs, but let us open our eyes wide and search together to understand what we are looking for and at. Most of all keep watch.
There is another foreshadowing. Why was Moses commanded to sit eating Passover fully dressed, with staff in hand at the ready?
It is more important now regardless of pre/post/mid whatever. To call for repentance and return to your first love!! Be at the ready! Seek and stay in Christ! I know you guys have seen the news. What of this eclipse, where people will be getting married and being merry in that day under the eclipse, a sign that many others say was another sign of Jonah. I am in agreement with them. So then does that teaching not have two meanings? Because one could easily argue and agree that Jonah was in the belly of a Whale for thee days. As Christ was in the earth. So then, the eclipse that helped convince them to repent whom Jonah was sent to. Would that not be the second part, the sign for a shocked and adulterous world?
Revelation 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Love to you brothers and sisters, your humble brother in Christ.
