People have argued for a long time that the tribulation is for the punishment of the ungodly and the righteous will be raptured out of here beforehand. Hell is prepared for the ungodly and if we had only an inkling of its severity we as Christians would spend all of our time on our knees interceding for our lost loved ones AND our enemies. The tribulation is for the church! Ask yourself, can God possibly come for the church in its apostate backslidden state? He would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah if HE did. I do a lot of traveling and have visited many churches. The bride is not clothed in white. We are as the Laodician church today. If we were where we are supposed to be there would never have been the advent of abortion or homosexual marriage or many other atrocities. I lay the blame for these charges firmly at the feet of the church. If we were loving one another and united as God desires our voting voice would have been strong enough to thwart all evil decisions! The tribulation is for the church because GOD loves us and is not willing that any should perish. He loves even our present-day church and when HE is done with us we will be getting it right. HE LOVES US !
The rapture doctrine was invented primarily because it wasn't "popular" to speak of a time when the church would endure such troubles. We are in the last days, nobody disputes that and scripture bares it out. The church today is described as in Revelation, the Laodician church. I have opportunity to visit many churches and we are "clothed in filthy rags" My indictment includes abortion, homosexual marriage and many other atrocities. We as the church body could have prevented all wickedness if we had stood as one voice and voted for right each time these came up. We have not loved one another and walked holy but rather have let wickedness slip in and divide us. The tribulation is for our good. It is because God loves us and is not willing that any should perish. Before HE brings this world to an end HE is going to give us a clear-cut choice. A time of tribulation will purge us as in fire and bring us ALL to a place of repentance and unity. IT IS BECAUSE HE LOVES US! He is most interested in us all making it home. His bride right now is clothed in filthy rags and unable or unwilling to change. God's very nature is described throughout the whole bible and if studied you can see it.
