THE RAPTURE, GREAT TRIBULATIONS AND THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.
I am sharing this little piece to give some clearer Pictures.
Matthew 24:29-31 NKJV
[29] "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
[30] Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[31] And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
The Coming of Christ in Matthew 24 is after the Great Tribulation. It is called the Second Coming of Christ.
The Second Coming of Christ is completely different from The Rapture of the Saints as in
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
[16] For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
[17] Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
The RAPTURE shall be in the twinkling of an eye, disappearing of the Saints (Believers) to meet Jesus in the Sky.
NO EYES will see Him in the World. Only the Raptured Saints will see Him when they meet Him in the Clouds.
The Rapture involves "The Voice of an Archangel and the trumpet of God"
But the Second Coming involves "His Angels gathering together His elect a from the corners of the World."
And ALL EYES WILL SEE HIM at the Second Coming.
THE RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS COMMENCES THE GREAT TRIBULATIONS.
That is the Cue.
But during the Great Tribulation, some people will turn to God, the would choose to suffer and shed their own blood and be tortured for Chrsit.
They will die for their faith. Some will not take the Mark of the Beast and still escape death.
All these shall be Tribulation Saints that Jesus will still Harvest at the end of the Great Tribulation.
These Set of Tribulation Saints will be the lukewarm Christians now who miss the Rapture but determine after the Rapture to endure all suffering and die for their faith.
They shall be saved also but through terrible persecutions.
At the End of the Great Tribulation, Then Jesus Chrsit will come in the Cloud, riding upon the White Horse, coming with thousands and thousands of His Saints who had been Raptured earlier before the Tribulation. The Tribulation Saints also who had died would be called up at THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST.
That is the Matthew 24:29-31.
The Tribulation, Persecutions and tortures and calamities of the upon the world would be too intense.
At End of The Great Tribulation: - will be the Gathering together of the Armies of the nations of the World to confront Israel in the Valley of Meggido, and that is where Jesus Christ will confront them in the Battle of ARMAGEDDON, and destroyed them all.
Revelation 16:12-14,16 NKJV
[12] Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.
[13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
[14] For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
[16] And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
And the Armies of the Nations of the World will be utterly defeated by the Lord Jesus Christ at His Second Coming:
Revelation 19:11-14,19-21 NKJV
[11] Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
[12] His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
[13] He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
[14] And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
[19] And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.
[20] Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[21] And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.
