Jokerman:
As Christians, we look to a day when our master and saviour will return to the earth, and Rapture his people (both Dead and Living) , and these people will reign with Christ a thousand years on earth (Millennial reign).

However, the Bible explicitly stated that no one knows the day or the hour Jesus is returning back except God Almighty, but did the Bible drop clues as to the period or time frame all these will begin to take place?

Some Christians believe the Church will be raptured away before the Antichrist (Son of Perdition) comes to the earth, but is this exactly what the Bible teaches or says?

Let's see some scriptures that does not agree with the pre-tribulation school of thought.

Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Daniel 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
24:25 Behold, I have told you before.

My Question

If the church won't be here during the Antichrist, why is the scripture giving us warning and hints?

Why it is the blood of Jesus Matyrs that will bring the Rapture

As believers, we know that the blood of God's people shed on the earth cries out everyday for judgment on the world, but the blood of Jesus speaketh better things than the blood of these righteous men, to draw many people to salvation.

In Revelation 6, we see how the events of end timr starts, the Antichrist, rider on white horse enters the scene first, and many calamities follow, then verse 9.....

Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Then see the reply 👇

Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Then the sixth seal is opened

Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

AntiChristian:
Finally Jesus is coming to fight wars!

Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever!

Prince of peace!

Will Jesus join Christians or the Israelites when he comes back?
