The Bible teaches that believer's resurrected bodies will be spiritual in nature, different from the present physical body (1 Corin. 15:35-50), but will have a continuity with the present body because Christ redeems the whole person (Romans 8:23). When exactly this will take place is unknown because the Bible speaks about tribulation in varying degrees. Matthew 24:21 speaks of a general sort of tribulation or a time of suffering associated with end time events. Rev. 7:14 speaks of the great tribulation which is thought by some to refer to the persecution of Christians after A.D. 90 and which also may be symbolic of tribulation that occurs periodically throughout history. There is also the seventieth week (interpreted to be seven years) spoken of by Daniel in Dan. 9:24-27. A distinction is made between the two halves of seven years with the last half being the great tribulation. The great tribulation time is variously measured as three and a half years (Dan. 9:27), forty two months (Rev. 11:2; 13:5), or 1260 days (Rev. 11:3; 12:6).
Whatever the timeline happens to be, or in which order things occur is not really relevant. Scripture teaches that believers are not resurrected until the second coming of Christ and noone (not even the Father) knows when this will occur. Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 "Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed."

∙ 7y agoWhen John Nelson Darby, a British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren, invented the concept of the 'Tribulation' in 1830, he explained that Christians would be 'Raptured' bodily up to heaven before the tribulation. On this original scenario, Christians would already be in heaven when the tribulation began. However, some modern proponents of the Tribulation saw what they felt to be flaws in Darby's scheme and delayed the Rapture, either to midway through the Tribulation, or even post-tribulation. The problem then becomes that there are now so many variants of Darby's original scheme that no one answer to this question would satisfy all scenarios. In Tim LaHaye's version, Christians and non-Christians alike will receive new bodies.
Better simply to say that the tribulation came from the imagination of a nineteenth-century preacher and will never really happen.

∙ 7y agoYes, the vast majority of humankind - including most Christians or CINOs - that have died during the 3 1/2 year tribulation period (Revelation 11 and Daniel 12) will be called along with those who remain alive by Christ to the promised Judgment process (Daniel 12:2; Revelation 20:12-15) post the Millennial Rule.
Concerning those who have died, the Bible speaks to their resurrection to a new body in Ezekiel 37:1-9,13-14 and Revelation 20:11-12. Some think this is for the House of Israel only but Jesus spoke of others in Matthew 11:20-24, 12:41-42 which makes it seemingly for all.
The problem many have in understanding is that they have been falsely told all they need do in acknowledge Jesus as their Savior and their set. This is a first step of many as God wants all His potential sons and daughters to be disciples or imitators of Jesus who is perfect as the Father is. Only the Saints or 'firstfruits' will escape the majority of the tribulation (1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thessalonians 4). Others will become martyrs while others will fully repent and follow Jesus giving them salvation. Unfortunately, other incorrigible sinners who refuse to repent and accept Christ will face the 2nd death in the Lake of Fire.

What does post-tribulation mean?
A:'Post-tribulation' is a term used to define a version of theology originally invented by John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Although few people belong the the Plymouth Brethren Church, many Christians believe in Darby's most enduring theological creation, the Rapture. However, one of the ways in which his original theology has evolved, is to diverge into pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation and post-tribulation strands.Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that the Rapture has its origins in the nineteenth century beginning, according to one critic, with a young girl's vision. In 1830, in Port Glasgow, Scotland, fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service, where she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by John Nelson Darby, a British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren.The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice. The first return would be in secret, to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven. Christ would return a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. This, then was "pre-tribulation." Rossing says that some evangelists deal with the charge that this implies escapism for Christians, by delaying the Rapture until midway through (ie: "mid-tribulation") or even after (ie: "post-tribulation") the supposed seven-year tribulation. The beauty of Rapture theology is that, as it is not really true, it can be what you want it to be. The Rapture can be pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation or post-tribulation.
Will you be here during the tribulation period?
A:No. I can be quite certain of that. The Tribulation is a theological invention of John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren, in the nineteenth-century. The idea of a 'Tribulation' has evolved over a period of nearly two hundred years, but is still essentially the same as originally proposed by Darby, with one significant change that, whereas Darby opted of a pre-tribulation Rapture, some more recent proponents have opted to delay the Rapture to mid-tribulation or even post-tribulation. So, in Darby's original scheme, only non-Christians will be affected by the Tribulation, whereas in some later versions of his theology, everyone alive will be affected..Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" Christians out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. Rossing says that according to one critic, the Rapture has its origins with a young girl's vision. In 1830, in Port Glasgow, Scotland, fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service. There, she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by Darby.There is no good reason to believe there will ever be a Rapture or a related period of tribulation, nor that the events portrayed by Darby will ever occur. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, and so should his theology.
Will Jesus return before or after the tribulation?
A:Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that the 'Tribulation' has its origins in 1830, in Port Glasgow, Scotland, when fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service.

Christ would return a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth..One significant change in recednt times is that, whereas Darby opted of a pre-tribulation Rapture, some more recent proponents have opted to delay the Rapture, with Christ's first arrival occurring mid-tribulation or even after the Tribulation. Either way, there will be no Rapture and no Tribulation, which means that Christ does not return before or after the Tribulation..While John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, many Christians, few of whom belong to the Plymouth Brethren Church, do believe in his most enduring theological creation, the Rapture.Answer:Premillenialists see a tribulation period immediately before the second coming of Christ. Pretribulationalist see the rapture (from the Latin word rapio-meaning caught up; see 1 Thess. 4:17) occurring prior to the tribulation with the church in heaven during the tribulation on earth. Midtribulationists place the rapture at the midpoint of a seven year tribulation period, the church on earth for only the first half of the tribulation. The views see the second coming of Christ in two phases: a secret coming in clouds to rapture the church and His return with the church to reign on earth. Postribulationists hold the church will remain on the earth during the tribulation period. The church will be protected from divine wrath although experiencing tribulation.

Will believers go through great tribulation?
A:The 'Tribulation' is a theological invention of John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren, in the nineteenth century. The Great Tribulation is the last half of Darby's seven-year Tribulation period, three and one-half years in length. Although few people belong the the Plymouth Brethren Church, many Protestants do believe in its founder's most enduring theological creation, the Rapture. This has helped popularise the fictional book series, Left Behind. .Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that according to one critic, the Rapture and the Tribulation had their origins with a young girl's vision. In 1830, fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service, where she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by Darby. .The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. However, some modern proponents of the Tribulation saw what they felt to be flaws in Darby's scheme and delayed the Rapture, either to midway through the Tribulation, or even post-tribulation. In Darby's original scheme, believers would not go through the tribulation, but in the post-tribulation scenario, they would experience the entire tribulation period, including the 'Great Tribulation'. .It is one thing to predict the tribulation or the great tribulation, but it is an entirely different thing to demonstrate that it will ever happen. The Tribulation has no genuine biblical support, so there is no good reason to believe there will ever be the Tribulation taught by Darby, or a Great Tribulation. They make good reading in a fiction series, but should otherwise enjoy the same obscurity that John Nelson Darby now does.
Who is one of the personalities in the tribulation?
One of the personalities in the tribulation is the Antichrist, a figure associated with evil and deception in Christian eschatology. This individual is believed to deceive many people and lead them away from God during the end times.

According to the Bible how many Jews are killed during the tribulation?
A:The Bible does not mention any Jews being killed during the Tribulation, simply because the Bible never really mentions the Tribulation. The so-called 'Tribulation' was a theological invention of John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren, in the nineteenth-century, and on that basis hardly a threat to Jews. Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that according to one critic, the Rapture has its origins with a young girl's vision. In 1830, in Port Glasgow, Scotland, fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service, where she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by Darby.The belief that Jesus will come again was not new in Christian belief, and the Church has always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" Christians out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. According to John Darby and his followers, Jews would suffer through the seven years of tribulation, during which they may be given the chance to convert. In Darby's scheme, the only Jews who will be saved are those who convert.There is no genuine support in the Bible for the Tribulation, and no good reason to believe that this or any of the events portrayed by Darby will ever occur. Therefore, there is no good reason to believe that Jews would ever face the so-called Tribulation or any of the gory fantasies put forward by proponents of Darby's scheme. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, and so should his Tribulation.
Whom will the tribulation affect?
The tribulation is believed to affect all people on Earth, regardless of their race, religion, or social status. It is seen as a time of widespread suffering and distress, where humanity will face various catastrophic events and spiritual challenges. However, specific beliefs about the tribulation may vary among different religious and theological perspectives.
Do Christians use the New Testament?
Yes Christians use the New Testament a great deal.
What will happen to non-Christians in the Tribulation to make them see their need for repentance?
A:Actually, nothing will happen. The so-called 'Tribulation' was a theological invention of John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren, in the nineteenth-century, and on that basis hardly a threat to non-believers. Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that according to one critic, the Rapture has its origins with a young girl's vision.

Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" Christians out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. According to John Darby and his followers, non-believers would suffer through the seven years of tribulation, during which they may be given the chance to convert and be saved. There are suggestions that Darby's loving God would inflict torture and terrible horrors on non-believers in a desperate attempt to make them believe in him. Of course, if there is really a God, and if the Rapture then Tribulation really were to happen, then the mere fact that Christians had already been raptured up to heaven would be enough to convince and convert even the most obstinate atheist. All this cruelty would not be needed.There is no good reason to believe there will ever be a Rapture or a related period of tribulation, nor that the events portrayed by Darby will ever occur. Therefore, there is no good reason to believe that non-believers would ever face the so-called Tribulation or any of the gory fantasies put forward by proponents of Darby's scheme. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, and so should his Tribulation.
