I am a firm believer in two Raptures, One Pre-Trib and the other Pre-Wrath. That is why some think the Rapture happens before the Tribulation and others think the Rapture happens before God's Wrath hits Earth. Both are right. There are two Raptures. It would not be just for the Tribulation saints to not be raptured before the asteroids of Rev. 8:8 and 10 hit Earth. God's Wrath won't hit one believer, just unbelievers. Every believer will be in Heaven receiving his rewards when God's Wrath hits unbelievers on Earth.

Rev. 11:18 says, "And the nations were angry, and THY WRATH IS COME, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged (at the Judgment Seat of Christ), and that thou shouldest give REWARD unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; AND shouldest DESTROY them which destroy the earth."

Scripture shows that there are two days of the Son of Man, i.e., two Raptures, Pre-Trib and Pre-Wrath. The first Rapture is in I Thess. 4:13-18 and Rev. 4:1. The second Rapture is in I Cor. 15:51-53 and Rev. 7:14, when all the Tribulation saints come "OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION", not out of Mid-Tribulation.

In Luke 17:22, Jesus said, "The DAYS (plural) will come, when ye shall desire to see ONE OF THE DAYS (i.e., the Pre-Trib Rapture, first of two Raptures) OF THE SON OF MAN, and ye shall not see it" (the first Rapture, when foolish virgins get left behind at the first trump of God).

The same day that Noah entered the Ark and the Lord shut him in, it began to rain. That day is as the Rapture of the BRIDE SAINTS. All in the Ark were married. Even the animals were in pairs.

Mat 24:37,38,42 says, "as the DAYS OF NOAH were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, MARRYING and giving in marriage, until THE DAY (i.e., the 1st day, the 1st Rapture) that Noe entered into the ark...Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."

In Luke 17:22-27, Jesus said, "The DAYS (plural) will come, when ye shall desire to see ONE OF THE DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN (1st Rapture), and ye (the foolish virgins) shall not see it. And they shall say to you (Tribulation saints), See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day....And as it was in the DAYS OF NOAH, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, THEY MARRIED WIVES, they were given in MARRIAGE, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."

Luke 17:28-30 says, "Likewise also as it was IN THE DAYS OF LOT; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; BUT (i.e., here is the difference) THE SAME DAY THAT LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM IT RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FROM HEAVEN, AND DESTROYED THEM ALL. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed."

Jesus will be revealed when the Tribulation saints see the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky on the Day of God's Wrath. Mt 24:30 says, "And then shall appear THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and THEY SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS of heaven with power and great glory."

Luke 21:34-36 says, "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so THAT DAY (of the 2nd Rapture followed by God's wrath) come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it (God's wrath, impact of the asteroid Wormwood, Rev. 8:8-11) come on all THEM (unbelievers) that dwell on the face of the whole earth (all unbelievers left behind at the 2nd Rapture). Watch YE (believers) therefore, and PRAY ALWAYS, THAT YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS (the wise virgins will escape the entire Tribulation by bein! g caught up in the 1st Rapture) that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."

At the end of the shortened Tribulation, Rev 6:15-17 says, "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB: For THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME; and who shall be able to stand?

Next, Rev. 7 starts off with the four angels holding back the WINDS that bring the asteroid impact on unbelievers left behind at the Pre-Wrath Rapture. Those Tribulation saints in Rev. 7 that are caught up in Rapture two will be taken up after the Day of God's Wrath starts at 6 PM and before God's Wrath hits Earth at noon. As in the days of Lot, the Tribulation saints will escape so as by fire.

Zeph. 2:1-5 says, "Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired (Israel, 1948); Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you. Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be HID, (or raptured) IN THE DAY OF THE LORD'S ANGER. For Gaza shall be forsaken (the mountain burning with fire hits the Mediterranean Sea), and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the NOON DAY, and Ekron shall be rooted up. Woe unto the inhabi! tants of the sea coast" (an overflowing shower, a tsunami, will strike the sea coast)..

Eze 13:13 says, "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with A STORMY WIND (a whirlwind) in my fury; and there shall be an OVERFLOWING SHOWER IN MY ANGER, and great hailstones in MY FURY to consume it."

Jer 23:19,20 says, "Behold, a WHIRLWIND of the LORD is gone forth IN FURY, even a GRIEVOUS WHIRLWIND: IT SHALL FALL GRIEVOUSLY UPON THE HEAD OF THE WICKED. The ANGER of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider (biyn, understand) it perfectly." The reason we can understand this is because we have discovered asteroids.
