Tribulation for the Church verses Great Tribulation or the Time of Jacob's Trouble for Israel

God is consistent, and never changing.  He will not destroy the righteous because of the wicked:


(Gen 18:23 [KJV])
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

(Gen 18:24 [KJV])
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

(Rom 11:3 [KJV])
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

(Rom 11:4 [KJV])
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

(Rom 11:5 [KJV])
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

(Rom 11:6 [KJV])
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

(Rom 11:7 [KJV])
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

(Rom 11:8 [KJV])
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

(Rom 11:10 [KJV])
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

(Rom 11:11 [KJV])
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

(Rom 11:12 [KJV])
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

(Rom 11:13 [KJV])
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

(Rom 11:14 [KJV])
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

(Rom 11:15 [KJV])
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?







(1Pet 2:4 [KJV])
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

(1Pet 2:5 [KJV])
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

(1Pet 2:6 [KJV])
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

(1Pet 2:7 [KJV])
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

(1Pet 2:8 [KJV])
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

(1Pet 2:9 [KJV])
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:



And This Indicates that the Church will be removed from the Wrath of the Day of the Lord


(Rev 3:10 [KJV])
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.


(1Thess 5:9 [KJV])
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

That is some good news!

Differences between the Rapture and the Second Coming

Misquoting Romans 10:12

Romans 10: 12 is often taken out of context as biblical proof that the church and Israel are the same.  if you read Romans 10: 12-13 then you see that there is no difference between who can be saved.  It is not just for the Jews and it is not just for the Gentiles that can call on the name of Jesus and believe in him and have salvation.

But the remnant of Israel after the great tribulation that Jesus speaks of in Matthew 24 and also is referenced in the old testament as the Time of Jacob's Trouble  are the people of Israel that will be saved.  That will be the fulfillment of a promise God made to Abraham that all his people would be saved.


“The Scriptures indicate that the Day of the Lord, the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, and the Great Tribulation have several things in common. First, the concept of trouble or tribulation are associated with all three . . . Second, the concept of an unparalleled time of trouble is identified with all three [Joel Joel 2:1-2; Jer. Jer. 30:7; Dan. Dan. 12:1 cf. Mtt. Mat. 24:21] . . . Third, the term ‘great’ is used for all three . . . Fourth, the concept of birth pangs is associated with all three . . . Fifth, the expression ‘that day’ is used for all three . . . Sixth, Israel’s future repentance or spiritual restoration to God is associated with all three . . . These comparisons demonstrate that several of the same concepts and terms are associated with the Day of the Lord, the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, and the Great Tribulation . . . they indicate that the Day of the Lord will cover or at least include the same time period as the Time of Jacob’s Trouble and the Great Tribulation.”—Renald E. Showers, Maranatha, Our Lord Come (Bellmawr, NJ: The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, 1995), 41-42.




Romans 10:12
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.


Now read the entire text.  What does the Holy Spirit tell you this means?

(Rom 10:1-16 [KJV])

(Rom 10:1 [KJV])
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

(Rom 10:2 [KJV])
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

(Rom 10:3 [KJV])
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

(Rom 10:4 [KJV])
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

(Rom 10:5 [KJV])
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

(Rom 10:6 [KJV])
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

(Rom 10:7 [KJV])
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

(Rom 10:8 [KJV])
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

(Rom 10:9 [KJV])
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

(Rom 10:10 [KJV])
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Rom 10:11 [KJV])
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

(Rom 10:12 [KJV])
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

(Rom 10:13 [KJV])
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

(Rom 10:14 [KJV])
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

(Rom 10:15 [KJV])
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

(Rom 10:16 [KJV])
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
