yourselves for a little while until The Lord’s anger has passed.

proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day
that cometh shall burn them up, saith The Lord Of Hosts, that it
shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2
But unto you that fear My name shall The Sun Of Righteousness arise
with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as
calves of the stall.
3
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the
soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith The Lord Of
Hosts.

in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

17:26-30 KJV
26
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of
The Son Of Man.
27
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in
marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood
came, and destroyed them all.
28
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank,
they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30
Even thus shall it be in the day when The Son Of Man is revealed.
Genesis
19:15,16,21-25 KJV
15
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying,
Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest
thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16
And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the
hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; The Lord
being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him
without the city.
21
And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing
also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast
spoken.
22
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be
come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24
Then The Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire
from The Lord out of heaven;
25
And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the
inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

21:36 KJV
Keep
alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to
escape these coming horrors and stand before The Son Of Man.”

more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through Him.

they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God’s
Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one
who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment.
I
Thessalonians 5:9 KJV
For
God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our
Lord Jesus Christ,
II
Thessalonians 3:2 KJV
But
The Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from
evil.
II
Peter 2:9 NLT
So
you see, The Lord knows how to rescue Godly people from their trials,
even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final
judgment.
I
John 5:18 NLT
We
know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for
God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them.
Revelation 3:10 NLT (The Message to the Church
in Philadelphia)

you have obeyed My command to persevere, I will protect you from the
great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test
those who belong to this world.
Revelation
18:4 KJV
And
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not
of her plagues.
(In Revelation 4-19, the church is not seen in
tribulation events)
Prayer:
I Corinthians 15:51-58 NLT (The Resurrection of
the Dead)
51
But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but
we will all be transformed!
52
It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last
trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died
will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be
transformed. 53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies
that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into
immortal bodies.
54
Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that
will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is
swallowed up in victory.
55
O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
56
For sin is the sting that results in death, and The Law gives sin its
power.
57
But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
58
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always
work enthusiastically for The Lord, for you know that nothing you do
for The Lord is ever useless.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18 NLT (The Hope of the
Resurrection
13
And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will
happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like
people who have no hope.
14
For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we
also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him
the believers who have died.
15
We tell you this directly from The Lord: We who are still living when
The Lord returns will not meet Him ahead of those who have died.
16
For The Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of
God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves.
17
Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the
earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air.
Then we will be with The Lord forever.
18
So encourage each other with these words.
