The pre-tribulation rapture teaching has been propagated for almost 2 centuries in mainstream Christiandom. It simply says: Before antichrist emerges on the world scene the blessed hope, the rapture of God's people would have taken place. Backsilden Christians will be left behind to face the antichrist in the Great Tribulation. But this is contrary to the Bible for the following reasons:

1) Antichrist is automatically anti- CHRISTIAN. He can't touch / hit at Christ DIRECTLY except through His own.
2) Our gathering will be 'after the tribulations of those days' - Matthew 24:29-31.
3) See also 2Thessalonians 2:1-3.
4) The Bible generally reserves the word 'tribulation' to describe the suffering of God's people in Satan's hands at least 22 out of 24 times that the word appears in KJV. While 'wrath' is generally used to describe God's punishment of sinners.
5) The tribulation is not the wrath of God but the suffering of God's people under antichrist.
6) The 666 mark targets believers to make them unrapturable, his last joker. Non-believers already belong to Satan - mark or no mark. At death they go to hell - mark or no mark.

The Church must get ready for the worst. The antichrist will appear before the Christ does to deceive, even the very elect if care is not taken.

Arise and be like the Berean Christians who went back to search the scripture though Paul was the one who taught them.

I believe the suffering of Christians has been happening for quite some time now.
It is however very subtle. The battle is in the mind (our souls)
