It is thought that at this time the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will occur in heaven (2 Corinthians 5:10 Revelation 19:6–10).Ĥ. During the tribulation on earth, the Church will be in heaven. The Antichrist’s rise to power is associated with this time period. A period of seven years in which God’s judgment is poured out on sinful humanity (Revelation 6–16). He will be aided by another man, called the false prophet, who heads up a religious system that requires worship of the Antichrist (Revelation 19:20).ģ. After the church is taken out of the way (2 Thessalonians 2:7–8), a satanically empowered man will gain worldwide control with promises of peace (Revelation 13:1 Daniel 9:27). The rapture is imminent no other biblical prophecy needs to be fulfilled before the rapture happens.Ģ. From our perspective today, this is the next event in the eschatological timeline. At this same time, the “dead in Christ” will be resurrected and taken to heaven, too. Christ comes in the clouds to “snatch away” all those who trust in Him (1 Corinthians 15:52).
