Shalom,


Romans 5:6-10:



    6While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly.
    7Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die.
    8But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
    9Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ's blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God.
    10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more [certain], now that we are reconciled, that we shall be saved (daily delivered from sin's dominion) through His [resurrection] life.



These verses should greatly encourage you as a born again believer in Jesus of Nazareth that you will NOT go through the Tribulation! We WILL have tests and trials during this life on earth, but He has given us everything we need in order to come TRIUMPHANTLY through every one! The time of the Tribulation described in Revelation is the God's judgment poured on a world rejecting HIM! There is NO WAY that He will allow believers, who are His children, to suffer that. Would YOU allow that for your children? This is the time of God's wrath and we do not incur His wrath! Notice verse 9 above! We have been "saved" from that! This is the Greek word "sozo", which means: to save, deliver, protect, heal, preserve, keep safe and sound, rescue from danger or destruction. That certainly sounds like He will see to it that WE are in a safe and sound place BEFORE all of these things take place on the earth! We are told to comfort one another concerning this, so consider yourself comforted! Amen! Here is Hillsong Chapel with "You Hold Me Now":




Shalom in Him!
