What happens to Christians during the Tribulation?
Categories: Rapture, Tribulation, prophecy, end times, Second Coming, eschatology, consequences | 2007 | by Ken Horn | one commentsBoth the dead and living believers will be caught up together to meet Jesus in the air at His appearing (1 Thessalonians 4:17). All without exception will then be brought before the judgment seat of Christ where each will receive “what is due him [or her] for the things done while in the body” (2 Corinthians 5:10, NIV; see also Romans 14:10-12; 1 Corinthians 3:12-15).
At the end of the Tribulation the Bible shows the believers following Jesus, coming from heaven, riding triumphantly on white horses, “and dressed in fine linen, white and clean” (Revelation 19:14). The fine linen identifies them as the Lamb’s bride (the Church) who are fully clothed with “the righteous acts of the saints” and have already taken part in the wedding supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7-9). Thus, they are ready to reign with Jesus during the Millennium.

I agree that those who are Christians at the time of the rapture will be resurrected and ascend to meet Jesus, but what is the plight of those who become Christians during the tribulation; is it the same as with the unbelievers?
