Jesus in his mercy
takes his remnant in the Rapture
to escape the global distress
that is the result of
the rest of this generation
as represented by those placed
trampling on his real Biblical Gospel
for 3 and 1/2 years
after its articulation
on global forum.
Most people ignored the real Gospel,
a few opposed it,
and some professed it to be
the same as their counterfeits,
though it was not.
In his acceptable time,
Jesus opens the door
to the presenting of the Gospel,
until he shuts the door
to the trampling by the world.
The world cast aside his Gospel,
both after apostles and Reformation,
and for 3 and 1/2 years after
its articulation on global forum.
Because of that trampling
comes 3 and 1/2 years
of great tribulation
at the end of
the tribulation generation
that comes after the Rapture
and before his visible coming
for his tribulation saints:
Because thou hast kept
the word of my patience,
I also will keep thee
from the hour of temptation,
which shall come upon
all the world,
to try them that dwell upon the earth.
(Revelation 3:10 KJV)
For as a snare shall it come
on all them that dwell on
the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always,
that ye may be accounted worthy
to escape all these things
that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man.
(Luke 21:35-36)
For the wrath of God
is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
(Romans 1:18)
