Pre trib rapture teaching is heresy

Yet there is another side of the story. During this time it will be all out war between the army of God and the armies of the devil. If we look at what happens when the 7 trumpets are blowing we can see all throughout that the great and glorious Jesus Christ is at work killing multitudes of sinners!

One third of all men are killed just when the 6th angel sounds. That would be BILLIONS OF SINNERS killed by our God and Savior at one shot of his judgment!

Not to even mention the sinners that will be killed through the prophetic ministry of the two witnesses.

It will be all out war with God probably killing more of the wicked than what the man of sin kills of us.

The idea that God cannot inflict tribulation and wrath on the wicked until Christians are removed from the Earth is very deceptive.

Noah's world was destroyed without him ever leaving it. That is the best and only example we have of what happens when the world as we know it is being destroyed.

When Paul says he delivers us from the wrath to come he is thinking of the wrath of Hell fire. That will be far more fearsome wrath than the plagues during the trib.

Obviously wrath comes in degree. The wrath one experiences on Earth will truly be wrath. But it will not be the degree of being cast into the fires of Gehenna.

If the Trib is a 7 year period of cataclysmic wrath that begins in Chapter 6, then how could there even be a functioning society? There would be nothing for the Anti-Christ to reign over. One major,yet localized catastrophe in the present time, like a city being destroyed by nuclear terrorism, would bring the world economy to its knees. Imagine dozens of them happening at the same time for 7 years. But the fools who insist that Revelation is written in chronological order don't seem to grasp this.

It is. Chapter 6 of Revelation is an overview, just as Genesis 1 is an overview of creation with more details coming in later chapters of Genesis. If you insist that the events in Revelation 6 are at the beginning of the Trib, then there would not be anything left for the Anti-Christ to rule.

Nah, more events after chapter 6. Your calculations are incorrect.
