Tribulation: Post Rapture

There is a lot of speculation about the tribulation. Some claim it takes place before the rapture, others say it takes place during the rapture, and still others say it is after the rapture. Others claim the tribulation period is taking place right now. So, who is right?

The Bible teaches that the Church is Raptured up prior to(before) the tribulation.

So the reality is that the Tribulation is future -still to come. It is mentioned in Daniel, Revelation, and various other places throughout the Bible. The Tribulation is something that Satan wants people to think will never happen. That is why even some so called "bible scholars" today say that the tribulation is something Christians made up to scare people. That is not true.

The Tribulation is a real event in the history of all people, and though terrible is a necessary thing to show that evil looses in the end, so that the 144,000 Jews and some Gentiles can be saved during it,that it can be proven again that "man is basically good anyway" is still a lie like it always has been ( truth: that people are indeed sinners), and that God is still in charge.
