Who Are Angels Gathering at the End of the Tribulation if Only the Wicked Are Left After the Rapture?

Question: I am having difficulty with verse 31 of Matthew 24 since if the righteous are raptured prior to the tribulation, who are the elect that the angels are gathering at the end of the tribulation if only the wicked were left after the rapture?

Answer: Jesus answers that question for us in Matthew 13:37-43 which corresponds directly with Matthew 24:31.

It is important here to distinguish between the Children of the Resurrection and the Children of the Kingdom (Matthew 13:38, Luke 20:36).

The Children of the Kingdom are not the resurrected and caught out ones who Jesus called the Children of the Resurrection (Luke 20:35-36).

The Children of the Kingdom will marry and give birth during the millenium. Some will even die (Isaiah 65:20-23).

The Children of the Resurrection will neither marry nor give in marriage but will be as the angels who cannot die (Matthew 22:30,Luke 20:35-36).

The Children of the Resurrection will not need to have angels gather them because they will be changed in a moment--their bodies will become just like Christ's resurrected body. They will become as the angels when their bodies are raised/changed--no angelic gathering will be needed for them (Matthew 22:30, Luke 20:35-36).

The Children of the Kingdom will need angels to gather them because their bodies will not be changed to become like Christ's resurrected body or like the angels. They will enter the millenium in their mortal condition (Isaiah 65:20-23).

Book of Revelation 5:3-14 Ten Thousands of Saints

The Book of Revelation Chapter five, gives more evidence of a pre-tribulational Rapture and reveals that just as there is a book of life, there is also a book of judgment. We see the ten thousands of saints, who will be returning to earth with Jesus, in heaven with him before the first seal of Judgment is ever opened.

Which Bride Could Care Less When She Sees Her Groom?

Question: Which bride could care less she sees her groom?

Answer: The one who does not love him.

I hear from agitated readers on a regular basis who try and convince me that they really love Jesus while at the same time, insist that they could care less when he will appear. For starters, I have a really difficult time believing that anyone who truly loves Jesus could care less when he will appear. But if it is the case, then why does it bother them so much that others do care, and feel it is not only important, but urgent, to know what the scriptures say concerning these things?

I have never before in my lifetime witnessed such an aversion, even hatred, for studying and discussing the coming of the Lord. I believe it is not only a sign of the wicked times we live in, but also a sign that in spite of people professing love for Christ, and perhaps even building an impressive resume of Christian works, these same people seem to love this present world more than they love Christ--and really do not long for his coming at all.

I ask again, which Bride does not long to see her Bridegroom? The scriptures are clear that if we love this present world, the love of God is not in us.

The scriptures are also clear, that there will be a massive departure from the faith taking place in the last days. And if we do not love the truth, then we will believe the lie. And that could end up costing us our souls...if we do not repent quickly.

For that reason, in spite of the opposition, I refuse to be a dumb dog who will not bark. I do not believe it is "craziness," as I have been told, to write about these things. I believe that writing about these things will have the effect of leading some to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, feeding hungry hearts, plucking brands from the fire, and encouraging some to hold on to the truth ever tighter as the shaking grows more violent as the day of Christ approaches. God is allowing the shaking to take place even now, and we need to remind each other that only those things which cannot be shaken loose will remain.

Inordinate affections are causing Christians to be be shaken loose. The soul stealing paradigm shifts that so many are making in this critical hour can only be avoided by receiving a love the truth. Pray to receive a love of the truth.

Satan is about to have his hour. This world is about to become a wilderness. Dark days are coming. Darker than any this world has ever seen or will ever see again. Jesus commanded us to pray that we would be counted worthy to escape all the things that are coming on the earth.


Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this cause, God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie...(2 Thessalonians 2:9-11).

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation that will come upon ALL the world to try them that dwell upon the earth (Revelation 3:10).

For as a snare shall it come, upon ALL them that dwell on the face of the WHOLE earth. Pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to ESCAPE ALL these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man (Luke 21:36).
