End Times – Great Tribulation
aka: Rapture, End of Days
I find in my studies three largely three Christian philosophical thoughts on the study of what is called “The Rapture”.
However, all three thoughts agree that there will be a Great Tribulation.
Pre-Tribulation (pre-trib):
There are those who believe Christians will be raptured prior to the seven-year tribulation.
- In other words, Jesus’ followers will be spared from the suffering that will take place.
Mid-Tribulation ( mid-trib ):
There are those who believe we’ll be here on earth for the first half of the tribulation
- the first three and a half years—of a seven-year tribulation.
Tribulation ( no rapture / post-trib ):
There are those who believe that, while God’s hand of protection will be upon the church, we will be here to endure the tribulation until the end, until the great and “Final Day”, of the Lord’s Return.
Jesus returns to gather His disciples/followers.
Whichever view you hold or even if you do not know or are not sure of what to think
— it does not affect your salvation.
Your salvation in Christ is what matters the most.
