Many professing Christians believe and teach that we will be spared the tribulation before Jesus comes back. They call it a rapture.
Does the Bible teach a rapture?
No.
1 Thess. 4:17 says they that are alive and remain shall be taken up.
Remain from what?
Remain alive from when the Lord comes to destroy all the wicked and bring us home. Please follow along.
2 Thess. 1 :7-9 Tell us When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them whom know not God. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord in the day the Lord is glorified in His saints. They as the wicked one shall be destroyed by the brightness of His coming. But prior to this day that the Lord shall be glorified in His saints, taken up. The day we shall be caught up together with them and be with the Lord forevermore. There shall be days like there never has been before. But immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light. The very powers of heaven shall shake and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn. Then as lighting cometh from the East and flashes unto the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man be. And in that day He shall send His angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven unto the other. And so shall we be with the Lord forevermore amen.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 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:
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Thessalonians 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
2 Thessalonians 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
Matthew 24:29 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:
Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
