Yesterday, while having fellowship with a few guys from other schools, the subject of Tribulation and Rapture came up. I didn't know what either one of these things meant, and I became very interested in learning as much as I could about these two things.
I learned that tribulation is a time of literal hell on earth for lack of a better way to say it. It is said that tribulation will be when the Anti-Christ comes and tries to basically kill us all. Another thing I read though, says that it is God's wrath, going down on all non-believers. I'm not sure which one of these is actually right, but I think that they are both good ideas. Tribulation can be seen as 2 different things if you're a non-believer. It could be a last chance to realize you need Christ. It could also just be being sent down to the fire. If you're a true believer in Christ, you will be saved by your faith.
The Rapture is basically the second coming of Jesus. It says in the Bible somewhere that all the believers will meet Jesus in the air, and be taken out of the Earth while tribulation happens. The Rapture also has different theories on it. One theory is that Jesus will take us out before tribulation or basically pretribulation Rapture. The second theory is that it will happen in the middle, or around the 4.5 year mark. Midtribulation. The last major theory is that all believers will go through tribulation along with all of the people who don't believe, and afterwards will they be brought up by Jesus, or post-tribulation.
I've been thinking about this subject all day, and I can't seem to get it off of my mind. It probably isn't the best subject to get my mind caught on, but I just get so interested in things like this, because it's still very, very important. It may be in Revelation, but Revelation is just as much part of the Bible as the other 65 books are.
I don't have a lot to say about this, I want to know what your thoughts on it are. If anything I said isn't correct, or accurate, please tell me
Love you guys.
