One of the most frequently asked questions in regard to the Tribulation time period is whether or not anyone will come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ during that difficult time. We already know that 144,000 people from the various tribes of Israel will be set apart for the Lord, but they will not be alone! God will call to himself a countless number of believers in Jesus “from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues” (Revelation 7:9). However, in contrast to the protected number of Hebrew believers in 7:1-8, these gentile believers will suffer persecution and martyrdom. In fact, when John’s vision of the great multitude opened, these believers were already pictured in heaven, having suffered physical death at the hands of God’s enemies.
Those who come to believe during the Great Tribulation will be in one of two groups. The first group will be the remnant of physical Israel sealed for protection and called to testify concerning Christ (Revelation 7:1-8). The second group will comprised of the masses of gentiles who believe in Christ and suffer persecution and martyrdom for their faith. These martyrs will come out of the Great Tribulation through death, but their suffering will instantly give way to victorious worship as they join the heavenly chorus in praise to “our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb” (Revelation 7:10)
The Rapture is an event when the Lord Jesus himself will come from heaven and with a command, believers who have died and have gone on to heaven will rise first (in their new glorified body) to meet Jesus in the air. Those who are alive at that time and have accepted Jesus as their savior will instantly be transformed into their new glorified body and at the same time rise up to meet Jesus in the air (1 Corinthians 15:50, 52). This event will happen in an instance, a nanosecond, or as the Apostle Paul puts it “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
This will not be an event that living people (at that time) who have not accepted Jesus will see. They will certainly see the effects of it though; mass amounts of people from around the world will instantly vanish. Will they hear the command of Jesus? No, it could be possible that they might hear something along the lines of an enormous clap of thunder but that is only speculation. It is more likely they will hear nothing and for certain they will see nothing but the aftermath.

The Bible clearly teaches that the Rapture occurs BEFORE the Tribulation, and the Tribulation occurs BEFORE the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ from
Jerusalem.
