ìAnd the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues
yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should
not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and
stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries,
nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.î
Revelation 9:20-21 (emphasis mine)
Also consider that when Jesus Christ returns and does battle at Armageddon,
the Word of God says that He comes with all of His saints.
ìAnd ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of
the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye
fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of
Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints
with thee.î Zechariah 14:5 (emphasis mine)
How could the LORD return with all the saints, if some of them were saved after
the Rapture? Up until the time that the Sixth Seal is opened Christians will be
suffering tribulation. There is much contained in the Word of God surrounding the
opening of this seal.
The Lord Appears in the clouds to gather His elect:
ìAnd then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds
with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels,
and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the
uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.î
Mark 13:26-27
He harvests His wheat from the Earth and throws the tares or grapes as they
are called into the winepress of the wrath of God.
