To me it looks like there is going to come a falling away before the rapture known as
"that Day", below are some verses that i use to come to this conclusion. I believe also that there will be a revival Ken Peters talked about great miracles accouring during the tribulation.
Starting @ 8:56 to 9:19.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJ21) " Let no man deceive you by any means, for
that Day shall not come, unless there come a falling away first "
1 Timothy 4 (KJ21) " Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that
in the latter times some shall depart from the faith"
Luke 18:8 (KJ21)" when the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?”
2 Peter 3:3 (KJ21)" knowing this first: that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts "
2
Timothy 4:3-4 (KJ21) For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves
teachers in accordance with their own lusts. 4 And they shall turn away
their ears from the truth, and shall be turned toward fables.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJ21)
1 This know also: that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, without selfcontrol, fierce, despisers of those who are good,
4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. From such turn away.
The Parable of the Sower that went out to sow his seed. The seed is the Word of God.
As he was scattering the seed,
some seed fell along the wayside,
some seed fell on rocky ground,
some seed fell among thorns.
Luke 8:12-14 (KJ21)
12
Those by the wayside are they that hear; then cometh the devil and
taketh away the Word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and
be saved.
13 The seed on the rock are they that, when they
hear, receive the Word with joy, but they have no root: they for a while
believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that
which fell among thorns are they that, when they have heard, go forth
and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and
bring no fruit to perfection.
Revelation 3:16 (KJV) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth
Isaiah26:9 " when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness."
