Brother, let me say that I do NOT believe in any 'pre trib' rapture doctrine.
However, I do not believe in a yet future seven or 3.5 year period specifically called 'THE GREAT TRIBULATION". I DO believe that Tribulation was forecast by our Lord and His apostles and prophets for the church, and would last until Jesus returned.
I also believe that as the days wear on, the persecutions would increase, and tribulation would increase.
I also believe that the evidence is in and clearly available for all to see... tribulation is coming to America. Sooner than most think, actually.
Yes we are called to suffer for his name. So were the first century disciples. Yet they did not just lay down and allow persecution to run rampant against them - they made preparations, they were mobile, they 'snuck around' government and societal persecution in order to keep the true Gospel message abounding, they saw famine coming and made preparations to help the poor among them to survive it...
All such things I see the church in America utterly incapable of even properly conceiving of doing in their lifetime.
Yes God will provide. He provided for Noah. It was done via a command to BUILD AN ARK and GET IN IT.
