#5 The Six Seal Tribulation, Rapture, and Wrath

In this episode of The Last Church Podcast, Mark and Fred argue that evangelical teaching has often mis-timed the rapture, and that Scripture points to a pre-wrath rapture—after intense tribulation/persecution that purifies the “bride” into a glorious church (Ephesians 5:27), but before God’s wrath is poured out. Walking through Revelation 1–9, they frame the first seals as escalating tribulation (deception, war, famine, death, martyrdom), then identify the sixth/seventh seal transition as the start of wrath, with believers gathered before God’s throne.
