Hi Jimmy,The Church will not be here for any part of the 'wrath of God tribulation' which begins forty-two months before the Second Coming of the Lord in the middle of the 70th Week of Daniel. . We are kept from "the hour of trial" which is the forty-two month period just before the Second Coming of the Lord. The Church is in heaven for those forty-two months while the wrath of God tribulation is happening here on earth.According to Scripture the tribulation IS NOT seven-years long, and the rapture DOES NOT HAPPEN seven-years before the Second Coming of the Lord.YBIC, Bruce Warner
