Pre- Wrath of the Lamb & God Rapture
explained by Merlin.

The short version followed by all the details.
1 ) We are not appointed to the wrath of the Lamb & God.
2 ) We are told that the dead must rise first before the rapture can happen
3 ) We are also told that the rapture cannot happen until the man of sin is revealed
 
 So we must first determine when the wrath of the Lamb & God begins:

 1) During the 6th seal we find this proof.
Rev 6:16 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:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

 2 ) The Day of the Lord begins with the wrath at the 7th seal this proof is here.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (Rev 6:12)

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. (Joe 2:31-32)

Which places both the wrath & the Day of the Lord at the breaking of the 7th seal which is in  Rev Chap 8.

Ok so now where is the rapture?
In the 6th seal as it should be.  The 5th seal is the dead in Christ being raised.
The 6th seal in Chap 7 of Revelation shows the 144,000 being sealed followed by the rapture of an untold multitude of people being removed from the earth and no mention of death and since this is during the second half of the 3.5 years it is called the great tribulation that they are removed from.

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev 7:14)

Below is the supporting scripture.

The antichrist is described as being released and also being revealed big differences.

Released :
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder,
one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: { Pretends to be the messiah}
and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: {Gains control of the league of 10 to empower him}
and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Rev 6:1-2) {Here it show he begins to gain control over the entire league of 10. 3 are forced to comply}

The other 3 horsemen are they also the antichrist or other punishments?


Revealed :
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind,
or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us,
as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; { the following description details what it means for the man of sin to reveal himself.}
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
showing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? (2Th 2:1-5)

Compare that description to these?

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:
and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice
and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation,
and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (Dan 9:27)

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:) (Mat 24:15)

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
standing where it ought not, let
(him that readeth understand,)
then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains: (Mar 13:14)

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,
then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. (Luk 21:20)

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,{rapture} and by our gathering together unto him, {rapture} That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.{rapture} Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,{rapture} except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? (2Th 2:1-5)

Notice that 4 times the rapture is mentioned happening only after the antichrist reveals himself can the rapture happen.
And how does he reveal himself is shown in the last half of the scripture above.

1) The Holy Spirit will never be taken out of the way or away from this earth the Lord said he will never leave us comfortless.

2) The Antichrist is released by Jesus on the breaking of the first seal not revealed. Not Controlled by the Holy Spirit at all.

3) The antichrist will reveal himself at the midpoint showing his true nature.

4) The name of Jesus is the only thing which controls evil not the holy Spirit.


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. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Mat 24:30-31)

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. (Mar 13:26-27)

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luk 21:27-28)

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. (Rev 6:9-11)

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Rev 7:9-17)
