The Bride of Christ is not appointed to God's wrath.
1 Thessalonians 1:10
...and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath
1 Thessalonians 5:9-10: "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him".
Romans 5:9: "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him".
Romans 8:1: "Therefore there is no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus."
The words used to describe it in The Bible "ek, raptura and harpazo. They mean to be snatched out of, or caught up
, carried away
. If it doesn't happen, then the verses describing it make no sense whatsoever.
It explains the mystery in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 In this scripture, Paul refers to this event as a "mystery," saying that believers will not all "sleep" (die), but all will be "changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

I Absolutely Disagree!:
Signs of the End of the Age
Mat 24:3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?”
Mat 24:4 Jesus answered them,
“Be careful that no one leads you astray.
Mat 24:5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
Mat 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen,
but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
Mat 24:8
But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Mat 24:9
Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.
Mat 24:10
Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
Mat 24:11 Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
Mat 24:12 Because iniquity will be multiplied,
the love of many will grow cold.
Mat 24:13 But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
Mat 24:14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations,
and then the end will come.
The Abomination of Desolation
Mat 24:15 “
When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
Mat 24:16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Mat 24:17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
Mat 24:18 Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
Mat 24:19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
Mat 24:20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,
Mat 24:21
for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
Mat 24:22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved.
But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
Mat 24:23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or, ‘There,’
don’t believe it.
Mat 24:24 For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders,
so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
Mat 24:25 “Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Mat 24:26 If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’
don’t go out; ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.
Mat 24:27
For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:28 For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
The Coming of the Son of Man
Mat 24:29
But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
Mat 24:30
and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 He will send out his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Rev 6:9 When he opened the fifth seal,
I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.
Rev 6:10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
Rev 6:11 A long white robe was given to each of them.
They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
Rev 13:6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7
It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
Rev 13:8
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.
Rev 13:14 He deceives
my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.
Rev 13:15 It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak,
and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed.
Rev 13:16
He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave,
to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads;
Rev 13:17
and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
Rev 14:9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice,
“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand,
Rev 14:10
he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.
Rev 14:11
The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
Rev 14:12
Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
Rev 20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them.
I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished.
This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but
they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.
