Uhhhhhh...Bruce dear brother, <grin>

 

I don't know any true believers...especially those of us who are looking for His Appearing who have not suffered 'a little while'.  <VBG>

 

Many people who are carnal Christians or luke warm believers perhaps have not...and surely they will suffer a little while...anywhere between 1 and 7 yrs.  Surely that is a 'LITTLE WHILE' in the eyes of the Lord!

 

The more I look at this scripture, I believe this scripture points to the Tribulation saints BECAUSE....(and I HOPE this comes out the way it should:

 

When we are raptured, we go to the judgment seat of Christ to receive our rewards.  Meanwhile the 7 yr trib is trying those left behind.

 

AFTER they have suffered a little while....meaning the Tribulation period, they THEN enter into HIS Eternal Glory.

 

We are suffering now if you will because we don't live like the world.  We live sanctified and set apart lives..holy, pleasing and acceptable to the Most High God, our King, washed in the Blood of the Lamb, our Redeemer, our Lord and Saviour Yahashua...JESUS.

Dear Doves,

 

We are going to 'suffer a little while' from the time the anti-Christ is 'revealed' in the world until we are raptured to Heaven. We are now in that 'prophetical period of time'.

 

1 Peter 5:10

"And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal Glory in Christ, AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."

 

According to your word "After we have suffered a little while", Come Lord Jesus!
