I can only go by my personal experience since I already went through the tribulation 8 years ago. The world is completely deceived about the Tribulation, which is in every single chapter of the BIBLE and is told us over and over and over. Here is the order of the Tribulation
1.First there is destruction of the CARNAL MAN or man of lawlessness, which brings the fullness of the spirit of CHRIST who destroys him with the BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING AND THE TRUTH OF HIS APPEARING. The carnal man turns out to be the EGO and through overcoming him IN CHRIST, your soul and spirit are CUT IN TWO, ie the MIDST of the man, like Abrahams covenant showed with the animals cut in two and the LIGHT OF CHRIST PASSES BETWEEN THE PIECES first of the CARNAL MAN, ie ego, ie man of lawlessness and CHRIST.
2. Just as they are saying PEACE PEACE, which comes from first seeing the LIGHT, and overcoming the carnal division between the CHRIST and the EGO, now, you have to be CUT AGAIN in two, ie SOUL AND SPIRIT, or as Paul says the word of God is sharper than any double edged sword cutting apart soul and spirit as bone/joint and marrow; Ie the marrow is the spirit, or life giving source of the BONE-soul. In Hebrew the word for bone-etsem is the same as SUBSTANCE which is our substance spiritually. EZEKIEL asks, will these bones-souls-live?? Yes they will when they get the RENEWED SPIRIT which is Gods house and is presently POLUTED as our SIN NATURE at the very core of our existence with Satan having a hold on it. THE EXPERIENCE is the ACTUAL RAPTURE or FALLING INTO THE ABYSS, which is falling to the ROOT or the spirit of the tree. Genesis 49, DAN-TRIBE OF JACOB-ISRAEL, meaning JUDGE, is the serpent in the WAY, he bites the riders heels and he falls backward. Paul fell backward and this falling is into the ROOT which is REALLY UP or RAPTURED UP TO THE TOP where God is at the root since the bottom to GOD, the earth, is his footstool, bottom and the bottom to us, the abyss is the TOP or root-CROWN to GOD. His life flows to us through the root of the tree. THE BAD TREE NOW GETS PLUCKED UP BY MESSIAH and the TREE OF LIFE COMES OUT OF THE ROOT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE; this is experienced as the tribulation like none other ever. ITS INSIDE AND THERE IS NO WAY TO ESCAPE. THE WRATH IS GODS WAR AGAINST EVIL...which is OUR ENEMY, and not man against man again. Isaiah 14...out of the root of the ADDER comes forth the fiery flying serpent (IF I BE LIFTED UP-raptured, ie crucified, I will DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME-they too will be crucified; after TWO DAYS I WILL LIFT THEM UP-raptured and the THIRD DAY THEY WILL STAND IN MY SIGHT). ENOUGH FOR NOW. Just here to tell you that you will come out of the TRIBULATION according to the BOOK of revelation with WHITE ROBES and with Palm branches; represent crowns and straight errect righteousness; also kaph means hollow of the hand and KAPH is Hebrew for CHEIR in GREEK which is the HOLLOW OF THE HAND and represents the SOUL, which is in the CHASMA, CHEIR, CHORA, Impassable interval. YOU WILL SURVIVE; GOD IS WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH WE MADE OUR BED IN HELL. He has the KEY TO LET US OUT
