The church’s Absence from the Tribulation…

1- exemption from God’s wrath- 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1:9

2- focus on Israel- Daniel 9:24

3- absence in the text- 

Revelation 1-3 Ekklesia

Revelation 4-20- no mention of the church

Rapture could occur at any time!

Application…

Rapture, Tribulation, millennium, eternity.

Are you prepared?
