Tribulation verses the Wrath of God

Too many Christians today, especially in the USA, have two very important biblical concepts confused. They mistaken tribulation (man on man such as the great tribulation) with the wrath of God which is God's wrath on the non-believers especially in the last days.

For those who are giddy and excited about being raptured up before the great tribulation ought to go back and study the Bible more and understand that the great tribulation will be prior to God taking anyone out.

Case in point is seen in what has happened recently in Kenya. This is a prime example of tribulation that occurs to those who refuse to deny Jesus, even when death is immanent. This is the wrath of man upon man and not the wrath of God upon non-believers. There is a huge difference and people need to get this straight so we can stop giving people the wrong expectations as to what is coming (I.e. Left Behind, etc).

Tribulation on believers in the news today

Exert from the news story:

Collins Wetangula, the vice chairman of the student union, said when the gunmen arrived at his dormitory he could hear them opening doors and asking if the people who had hidden inside whether they were Muslims or Christians.

"If you were a Christian you were shot on the spot," he said. "With each blast of the gun I thought I was going to die."
