God can deliver His people in any trial and in numerous ways, nothing is impossible for God. Jesus will be with His people in the hard times and they will have faith in Him. i don't see any reason in history or in scripture for God to magically cause His people to vanish just before his wrath comes. God is able to keep His people safe.
Dan 3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us.
Dan 6:20..... and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
Yes in Daniels day and Yes in our day.
Luk_17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
It takes more faith to lay down your life for Jesus then it does to run and hide.
1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 (GW)
9
It was not God's intention that we experience his anger but that we obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake in this life or asleep in death,
we will live together with him.
Revelation 3:10-11 (GW)
10 Because you have obeyed my command to endure,
I will keep you safe during the time of testing which is coming to the whole world to test those living on earth.
11 I am coming soon! Hold on to what you have so that no one takes your crown.
Revelation 4:4 (GW)
4
Around that throne were 24 other thrones, and on these thrones sat 24 leaders wearing white clothes. They had gold crowns on their heads. {The Church has been Raptured to Heaven for the Wedding of the Lamb, and to KEEP THEM SAFE, as HE pours out WRATH, on the WHOLE EARTH.}
Revelation 5:9-12 (GW)
9 Then they sang a new song, “You deserve to take the scroll and open the seals on it, because you were slaughtered.
You bought people with your blood to be God's own. They are from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10
You made them a kingdom and priests for our God. They will rule as kings on the earth.”
11 Then I heard the voices of many angels, the four living creatures, and the leaders surrounding the throne.
They numbered ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands times thousands.
12
In a loud voice they were singing, “The lamb who was slain deserves to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise.”
Revelation 6:9-11 (GW)
9 When the lamb opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of God's word and the testimony they had given about him.
10
They cried out in a loud voice, “Holy and true Master, how long before you judge and take revenge on those living on earth who shed our blood?”
11
Each of the souls was given a white robe. They were told to rest a little longer until all their coworkers, the other Christians, would be killed as they had been killed. {Those are the BEHEADED Tribulation Saints, it appears all of them were beheaded before verse 12, then they go after the JEWS.}
Revelation 6:12-17 (GW)
12
I watched as the lamb opened the sixth seal. A powerful earthquake struck. The sun turned as black as sackcloth made of hair. The full moon turned as red as blood.
13 The stars fell from the sky to the earth like figs dropping from a fig tree when it is shaken by a strong wind.
14 The sky vanished like a scroll being rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15
Then the kings of the earth, the important people, the generals, the rich, the powerful, and all the slaves and free people hid themselves in caves and among the rocks in the mountains.
16
They said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the anger of the lamb,
17
because the frightening day of their anger has come, and who is able to endure it?”
Notice it says all people! That means the Church-age is all finished, and then GOD Finishes HIS First Covenant, the 70th Week of Daniel. The Last shall be FIRST, and the First shall be LAST.
I already have my invite to the Wedding of the Lamb in my heart. Perhaps you did not get the invite.
Revelation 19:9 (NIV)
9
Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'" And he added,
"These are the true words of God."
