Q. I have been taught that the church will not go through the tribulation. Can you give me some verses from the Bible to help in this regard? Who will go through the tribulation?

A. The first Scripture that comes to mind is in the last book of the Bible: “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” (Revelation 3:10). This was a promise to the believers at Philadelphia, and to us as well. Not a promise to be kept through the tribulation, but to be kept from the tribulation.

Here is another verse on the second question: “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah 30:7). The context is clearly the tribulation, but it is not the “church’s” trouble, but “Jacob’s” trouble. This shows that the nation of Israel will be saved out of, or literally, through this awful time, while the previous verse indicated that we, the church, are saved from it altogether.

We are to be “looking for that blessed hope” (Titus 2:13), which is the rapture, not the tribulation.
