As much as I would like to believe that believers including myself are going to be swept away avoiding any significant tribulation or “The Tribulation”, there simply is not enough certain evidence supporting this belief. If anything, I personally feel that it is a dangerous doctrine because if someone believes this and then is confronted with tribulation of any kind, they may lose faith. Someone who believes that “The Tribulation” cannot start until after “The Rapture” may find themselves dead or dying in the middle of it and still not get it. Someone may dismiss all of the advancements of “The Beast System” and be deceived into worshiping it or becoming part of it because “the rapture hasn’t happened yet so this isn’t the mark or the beast system”. The dangers in believing this doctrine which only became popular after 1830 A.D. are much greater than believing otherwise. Please, please don’t base your faith on a doctrine created less than 200 years ago.
