It is a nice notion to think we will be raptured before the tribulation starts but that is simply not the case as stated in the Bible.
Remember: If we are here for the tribulation God will take care of his Believers so there is no need to worry. Instead think of this as an opportunity to help others come to Christ before the "Rapture" occurs.
We will suffer during this tribulation. Christ said for us to follow Him. He suffered walking to the cross. His suffering led to His death. He endured to the end. We must follow Him by suffering through our time in this tribulation. We may die because of suffering for Christ. But we must endure to the end.
The tribulation has already begun. We are now in it. Look what is happening all over the world. Wars and rumors of wars, hatred between nations, earthquakes, brushfires destroying cities, flooding destroying cities, people hating and killing and raping here in the U.S., the increased child traffecting. The apostasy is here also. The remnant is getting smaller and the enemies of God are increasing.
It seems the world is increasing in its own destruction that is for sure.
Without following the Bible and the instructions from God it would truly seem hopeless.
We must suffer on some level ...
