The tribulation is God's wrath! If Jesus Himself came to save us by shedding His blood and dying on the cross, why would God then unleash His wrath on those whom He saved? Yes, there have been martyrs in the Church, but those were men/Satan's attacks on the Church - never God's! It's very clear when Paul says:
"For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:9)
The tribulation is God's judgment on this world, it's God's wrath poured out on the Antichrist and his godless kingdom, and God will protect His people from that punishment!
The history of the Church is marked by countless accounts of martyrdom. From the early days of Christianity until this day, the Church has faced persecution and death. All these attacks have always emerged from Satan himself, just like in the story of Job!
God allowed it to happen! But the tribulation is whole different wrath, it's God's wrath and judgment on this world! We are not part of this world! This is a big distinction that we have to make!
If it's true that God doesn't change, let's look at the instances where He poured His wrath in this world. The Flood! What did He do then? He saved His people, Noah, and his family! Sodom and Gomorrah! What did God do then? He saved Lot and his family! If God is unchangeable wouldn't He save His Church from the next time that He will pour His wrath, which it is in 7-year tribulation? YES, HE WILL!
People who say that we have to endure to the end in the tribulation are confusing God's wrath with Satan's attack on the Church! There is a big difference! God has allowed Satan's attacks on the Church, just as He allowed Satan to touch Job. But He has always saved His people from His wrath! He will save His Church, whom He saved, justified, and redeemed on the cross at the price of blood, from the 7-year Tribulation!
Satan relentlessly has tried to annihilate the Church and will continue to do so, but God has delivered His children from His own wrath and will continue to do so! Keep looking up because He's coming to save His Church!!!
The 7-year tribulation is around the corner, please get saved now!
Believe Jesus is the Son of God, who died on the cross for our sins, He was buried and resurrected during the third day, so we can have eternal life with Him.
The moment you believe in Him and that He died for your sins - you're saved, justified, sealed until the day of redemption, and rapture ready!
The Holy Spirit will come to live inside of you - He will help you, guide you, change you, and be with you FOREVER!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
