Revelation 16:15 When Jesus says I come as a thief, this is not the pre-tribulation rapture, because that happens in chapter 4:1 Come up hither. This is in reference to His second coming at Revelation 19:11 and it will be sudden with the saints coming with Him who were in heaven. Christ is coming to stop all of the murder, sexual assaults, and witchcraft that are taking place on the earth. The tribulation will last seven years and consist of 21 judgments that will take place to purge the world of sin. Men will continue to blaspheme God, rather than repent of their sin. The goodness of God causes men to repent. The 144,000 Jews will be saved during this time. Christ will come right after the battle of Armageddon. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all men would come to repentance. We are told to watch, and pray so that we can escape this time of great tribulation that will come upon all the world that rejects Jesus Christ as their Lord.
