"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you."
- Matthew 26:4

Many do not understand the difference (biblically) between tribulation and wrath. The Wrath of God is what the Elect of God are spared from. "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ," -1 Thessalonians 5:9.
However, the saints of God will go through tribulation all the way up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the harpazo (Greek) catching away (rapture) will take place at the sound of the Trumpet and the Elect of God will meet Christ in the air AT HIS RETURN.
"Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God." Acts 14:22
