Tragically, 9 Christians were recently murdered in Kenya for refusing to recite Islamic creed.
A simple question for pretribbers: how is this any different than when the Antichrist will murder Christians when they refuse to deny their faith?
I have never received a satisfactory answer.
The Antichrist’s great tribulation will not be God’s wrath; rather, it will be Satan’s end-time wrath against the church, as well as a remnant of Israel.
Thankfully, more pretribbers in recent years are recognizing the clear biblical distinction between the Antichrist’s great tribulation and the Day of the Lord’s wrath. The church will be here for the former, but be raptured before the latter.
