Who will be Saved during the Tribulation, The Day of the LORD

Christians are “rescued” from the wrath to come, therefore are raptured before the tribulation period begins. When does it begin? One would assume it begins when the Age of Grace, as you have noted, ends. When does it end? Not too many know or understand. I can only go by what I read.

When you read the Apocalypse of John, don’t read “church” for the word ekklesia. Ekklesia should never have been translated as such. It should always be translated as assembly or congregation. Church always makes one think “Christian” when it is not in the Apocalypse. Church is a German word and closest thing to it in the Bible is a transliteration (tranny for short) of kuriakos, which means belonging to the Lord. One of the main things to understand is that the Assembly of God, made up of the saved, was part of the Secret that God kept hidden from all the Hebrew Prophets including Jesus, until God revealed it to the ascended Christ, who revealed to Paul and the other Christian Prophets. This Secret was even hidden from us because the translators chose to tranny musterion into mystery, rather than translate it! The Secret is not a mystery. A mystery, to be a mystery, can never be understood, but when a Secret is revealed, it can be known.

Rev. 10:7 says: “but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery (Secret) of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets. ASV

Whoever is saved up to that point will be raptured to heaven. How long does it take to get to that point? I don’t know. What I do know is that whoever gets saved after the rapture will have to endure, remain faithful, through the tribulation to the end of it or the end of their lives, which ever comes first. Matthew 24 records what happens during this time, but I will show one verse.

Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. KJV

You have to remember there were no Christians in Matthew, only Jews and Gentiles. The Assembly of God did not yet exist, because The Secret had not been revealed. Another word you mention is “saints.” Saints are “holy ones.” Holy Ones are also angels. We are saints as well because we are saved. Can you be a holy one without being a Christian? Of course you can. Was David saved? Abraham? Ezekiel? Yes to all, but not like we are. They won’t go to Heaven, because they won’t be resurrected until after Jesus returns with us for the Campaign of Har-Mo’ed.

Now notice this, right after the Secret of God ends in Rev. 10:7 that a 42 month period starts, 3.5 years or 1,260 days:

Rev 11:2-3 And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3 And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, (3.5 years), clothed in sackcloth. ASV

What do you suppose they were prophesying about? What is most prophesying about? Better yet, “to whom” were they prophesying? Jews and Gentiles, because the saved “Christians” were all gone! To really grasp this, you have to comprehend that since the Hebrew Prophets knew nothing about “Christianity,” their thinking would go from the end of John to the Apocalypse of John. Prophesy concerning Israel was held in abeyance, temporarily halted, from the ascension of Jesus until after the rapture. There are no prophesies being fulfilled to day, because the Hebrew Prophets didn’t know about today!

These 2 Witnesses are prophesying about the man from Galilee. It will probably go something like this:

Acts 2:22-36 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

They won’t become Christians, but if they believe and endure to the end, they will be saved, for the Millennial Kingdom.

About Mystery Consultant

I was born in 1949 and raised in Paris, Illinois. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1967 and received an assignment to serve aboard the U.S.S. Mauna Loa, AE-8 off the coast of Vietnam. During my three years and nine months of active duty, I toured the Mediterranean Sea twice and the Caribbean Sea once. What an experience to look back on! I was separated from the Navy three months early to attend College of the Redwoods in Eureka, California. Near the end of my first term as Student Body President, I received Jesus Christ and became born again in 1974. I have been studying the Bible, The Word of God and teaching others ever since. I have been married for 43 years to my wife Joanne, from Whitestone, New York. We are the proud parents of two grown sons, three granddaughters and three grandsons. We have lived in Illinois, Indiana, New York, Arizona and California, where we now make our home in San Pedro.
