The plain universally accepted fact by fundamental KJV scholars is that after the pre trib rapture, the wrath of God is being poured out on the earth by the seals, trump and vial judgments. This is the obvious plain and reasonable meaning of the text. The horrors of the tribulation is what God sends on the Earth and uses to test and try the Hebrew people and to use Satan's violence to destroy the evil people from the Earth. The proper method of Bible understanding is to allow the chapter to establish its own context, and not to go around bringing in verses from elsewhere to wrestle the scriptures into changing the context. The word "wrath" does not have to be used to clearly see what is happening. For example, the Fifth Seal is very clearly Gods Judgement and wrath being poured out upon the Earth. Lewis B
