We first have found our first main sequence but we have to understand the meaning of it.
As said the current main sequence is:
- The Rapture - this meaning we now know
- The Wrath of God - this we have yet to explore.
The word "wrath" is counted 197 times in the whole of the Bible in the new King James translation. But in 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10, the new testament, it says "the wrath to come". It is been referenced by several prophets who have seen this "wrath" a few thousands years before.
So lets check on where these references are.
In David's Psalm 110, you see here verse five, that God will execute kings in the day of His wrath. The have here the "the day of His Wrath". Clearly this is the end judgement of our Lord. So this is an end-time event.
"Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death."
Here you see from Solomon's wisdom a reference to a future event "the day of wrath". It seems here already that it was already known to the Jews that a day of wrath was coming.
6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore all hands will be limp, Every man’s heart will melt,
8 And they will be afraid. Pangs[d] and sorrows will take hold of them; They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth; They will be amazed at one another;
Their faces will be like flames.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it.
10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine.
11 “I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, And will lay low the haughtiness of the [e]terrible.
12 I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, A man more than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the earth will move out of her place, In the wrath of the Lord of hosts And in the day of His fierce anger.
Here, with the prophet Isaiah, it appears that the day of wrath coincides with the day of the Lord. That is the Dat when the Lord of hosts comes with great wrath and fierce anger.
Zephaniah 1
14 The great day of the Lord is near; It is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; There the mighty men shall cry out.
15 That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of devastation and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of trumpet and alarm; Against the fortified cities; And against the high towers.
Zephaniah 1 is all about the day of the Lord but I got just a few verses from it. But in these it also very clear what is meant by it. The text is everywhere referring to this is a future event. As it should be, because it is a prophecy for the end-time. Which becomes more clear when we read the book of revelation , the last book in the Bible which is all about the events in the end-time and which is the revelation of Christ personally.
Conclusion
From this we can conclude the following about the Wrath of God:
- It is referenced by "the Wrath", so its not just some wrath.
- It is referenced by the "the day of Wrath"
- It is referenced by the "the (great) Day of our Lord", because this day comes with both wrath and fierce anger.
Further Study
The day of wrath is described in the Book of Revelations in detail. We probable need to study parts of it to see what is close to the rapture.
