IntoThru

Suspected it is that you are wondering about the strange title of this piece.

"Into" and "thru" what?

To satisfy your understandable and welcomed insatiable curiosity:

(1) There will be some not-necessarily-only-Jewish Great-Tribulation saints (of the Lord Jesus) witnessing (but not suffering because of) parts of Acts-of-God plagues during The Great Tribulation of forty-two months spoken of in the New-Testament book of Revelation chapters 7 through 19 . . . and

(2)Those not-necessarily-only-Jewish Great-Tribulation saints (of the Lord Jesus) so witnessing (but not suffering because of the plagues of) parts of The Great Tribulation will escape experiencing anti-humankind punishment from plagues (inflicted upon those who are not saints) described in Revelation chapters 7 through 19 in the book of Revelation.

Consider the following statement attributed to Jesus Christ:

Luke 21:36 But watch at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

"All" "what" things did Christ allude to which we should pray to at least have "strength" to escape (and perhaps, but not assuredly, actually escape?)

Let's pick and choose from the pre-context of the aforementioned Luke passage as to what we should pray to escape, and - quite importantly - from what we already have not escaped (which there is thus no longer any sense praying to escape from in the future . . . being that those particular things are past-and-gone previously-experienced "been-there/done-that" past history):

Luke 21:5 And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, He said,
6 "As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down." [ Has happened yet by now? ]
7 And they asked Him, "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign when this is about to take place?"
8 And He said, "Take care that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and, 'The time is at hand!' Do not go after them. [ Has that happened yet? Like with the Kool-Aid-killer Jim Jones of Guyana? How about pseudo-messiah and that acclaimed-by-racists/feminists/homoperverts/abortionists Kenyan-not-Hawaiian-born fraud "prez?" we are currently stuck with? Did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
9 And when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once." [ Has happened yet by now, considering past-history WW I, WW II, the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, the Gulf Wars of Iraq -- and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom [ Has happened yet by now, considering past-history WW I, WW II, the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, the Gulf Wars of Iraq -- and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
11 there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. [ Has some of that already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
12 But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake [ Has some or all of that already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
13 This will be a time for you to bear testimony [ Has some or all of that already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ].
14 Settle it therefore in your minds, not to meditate beforehand how to answer [ Has some of that but not all of it already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict [ Has some but not all of that already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and "friends," and some of you they will put to death [ Has that all already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
17 you will be hated by all for my name's sake [ Has that not completely happened yet, have we lost our jobs or been denied company promotions or not gotten a raise because of witnessing for Christ and morality, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
18 But not a hair of your head will perish [ Wallets and bank accounts, not simply hair, excluded? Did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
19 By your endurance you will gain your lives [ Especially those previously mentioned who were put to death? Did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
20 But when you see Jerusalem [ and New York Trade Towers? ] surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. [ Has that already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
21 Then let those who are in Judea [ or NYC? ] flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it [ Has that already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
22 for these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.
23 Alas for those who are pregnant with child and not murderously-aborted surgical-tissue fetus and for those who nurse sucking titbabies in those days! For great distress shall be upon Earth and wrath upon this people [ Has that already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
24 they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive among all nations; and Jerusalem [ America? ] will be trodden down by the nations, until the times of the nations are fulfilled [ Has that already happened, and did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
25 And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves [ That has not all happened yet, but did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
26 humans fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. [ That has not significantly happened yet, but did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory [ That certainly has not happened yet, but did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
28 Now when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
29 And he told them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 as soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near.
31 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. [ That has not happened yet, but did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
32 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all has taken place [ That has not happened yet, but did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away [ That has not happened yet, but did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
34 "But take care to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and preoccupation with this life, and That Day come upon you suddenly like a snare [ That has not happened yet, but did we pray to have strength to escape that? ]
35 for it will come upon all who reside upon the face of the whole Earth [ That has not happened yet, but did we pray to have strength to escape that? ].
So what exactly should be pray to have strength to escape from, and then actually escape each particular thing?

It is clear that the bowels of the Bible contain historical happening after historical happening NOT of those who escaped into Heaven by some cowards-pacifying pre-fly-by Rapture and thus were spared from being in Tribulation . . . but instead were spared as they went through Tribulation.

To wit:

1. Noah and Associates were in the Flood Tribulation with everyone else on the planet, but were spared as they went through that Tribulation by being safely nested within that Ark.

2. Jacob and Associates were in the Worldwide-Famine Tribulation along with everyone else on Earth, but were spared as they went through that Tribulation by Joseph in Egypt providing grain for them.

3. Baby Moses was in the Great Infanticide Tribulation ordered by Pharaoh, but was spared as he went through that Tribulation by being a baby in a basket retrieved by Pharaoh's daughter (similar regarding Baby Jesus going through Herod's Infanticide Tribulation by taking an extended vacation into Egypt).

Exodus 8:22 But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people reside, so that no swarms of flies shall be there; that you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
Exodus 9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the people of Israel were, there was no hail.

So, the Egyptian Tribulation of Flies and the Egyptian Tribulation of Hail were successfully gone through by Hebrews only.

4. Exodus 12:23 For the LORD will pass through to slay the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not allow The Destroyer to enter your houses to slay you.

Rather kinky way to get through that Slaying-of-the-Firstborn Tribulation unscathed, wouldn't you say?

5. Both the Hebrews and Pharaoh's army were in the Dried-up Red Sea Tribulation, but the Hebrews were the only ones to go through that Tribulation successfully.

It gets really interesting how the sealed-by-God-not-666-Mark Tribulation Saints mentioned in the book of Revelation are spared from suffering the lethal effects of those Acts-of-God bowls-of-wrath plagues who are NOT wisked up into Heaven with some fairy-tale-myth fly-by-Rapture-for-wimpish-cowards but instead get to be non-harmed sacred-and-holy spectators observing devastation wreaked on the wicked:

Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a [ good or evil? ] "star" [ Lucifer?] fallen from heaven to Earth, and he was given the Key of the Shaft of The Abyss;
2 he opened the Shaft of The Abyss, and from the Shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.
3 Then from the smoke came locusts on Earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of Earth;
4 they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of humanity who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads.

Revelation 9:20 The remainder of [ non-sealed-by-God ] humanity, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot either see or hear or walk
13:8 and all who reside on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the Book of Life of the Lamb who was slain.
Revelation 16:2 So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon humans who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped his image [ NOT on Tribulation Saints! ].
16:9 [ non-sealed-by-God ] humans were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give Him glory.
16:11 and [ non-sealed-by-God ] humans cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

And who were the ones who had been sealed not with 666 but instead the seal of God?

Revelation 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds [ south, west, north, east? ] of the Earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
2 Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the Sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea,
3 saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads."
4 And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of Israel,
9 After this I looked, and hey, a great crowd which no human could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
10 and proclaiming out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!"
11 And all the angels stood round the throne and round The Elders and The Four Living Creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
12 saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever! Amen."
13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?"
14 I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

How did they come out of the Great Tribulation? By never-never-land alleged pre-Trib Rapture? By at-Armageddon epiphany when Christ actually and physically returned at His one-and-only Second Coming (not any pre-mature, previous, fly-by-in-the-sky-by-and-by snatching away of cross-of-Christ-despising/persecution-disdaining heretically-pseudo-"christian" cowards)?

Or by martydom? Or making it through the 42-month Tribulation by hiding in caves or underground or wherever here-and-there as survivalists away from local and state police and sheriffs, the military, plus NSA and DHS satellite and high-tech-sensors surveillance?

Scripture itself gives answers:

Revelation 13:7 Also he was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given him over every tribe and people and tongue-language and nation,
8 and all who reside on Earth will worship him, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
9 If any one has an ear [ and ears DO look kind of funny ], let him hear:
10 If any one is to be taken captive, to captivity they go; if any one slays with the sword, with the sword must they be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

Revelation 14:9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any one worships The Beast and his (not "her") image, and receives a [ tattoo/chip?] Mark on his or her forehead or on his or her hand,
10 he or she also shall drink the wine of God's wrath, poured non-mixed into the cup of His anger, and he or she shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever; and they have no rest, day or night [ with or without Earth's Sun around for astronomical timing ], these worshipers of The Beast and his image, and whoever receives the [ 666 ] Mark of his name."
12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who: (a) keep the commandments of God, and (b) the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
"Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their works [ not faith alone, per James 2:24 ] follow them!"

Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for: (a) their testimony to Jesus, and (b) for the word of God, and (c) who had not worshiped The Beast or his image and had not received his [ 666-tattoo/embedded-chip? ] Mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 The other dead [ including Martin Luther, Bach and Beethoven, and Jerry Falwell ] did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is The First Resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he who shares in The First Resurrection! Over such The Second Death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with Him a thousand years.

But are non-Israeli Tribulation Saints also sealed with the seal of God instead of 666? How about ALL those who bear testimony to Jesus and keep the commandments of God -- whoever they are?

Revelation 14:1 Then I looked, and wow, on [ non-anti-Zionist/non-"palestinian" ] Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had His name and His Father's name written on their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps,
3 and they sing a new Song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that Song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.
4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins; it is these who follow the Lamb wherever He goes; these have been redeemed from humanity as first fruits for God and the Lamb,
5 and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are guileless.
6 Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who reside on Earth, to every nation and tribe and language-tongue and people;
7 and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give Him glory, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him (not her) who is The Intelligent Designer, who created heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water and not random-chaos evolution creating itself by itself of its own alleged free-will choice."
8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion."
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any one worships The Beast and his Image, and receives a [ 666-tattoo/embedded-chip? ] Mark on his/her forehead or on his hand,
10 he/she also shall drink the wine of God's wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of His anger, and he/she shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever; and they have no rest, day or night [ 24-hour Earth periods of time? ], these worshipers of The Beast and his Image, and whoever receives the Mark of his name."
12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!"

Who are the true Jews -- the "Jews" of faith who have humbly acknowledged Jesus as Messiah (Atoner, Redeemer, Savior, and Lord)?

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.
Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations [ no separation of church from state? ].
Luke 24:47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to ALL nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

Acts 10:35 but in EVERY nation ANY one who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him.

Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God
which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy scriptures,
3 the gospel regarding (and not "concerning") His Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh
4 and designated Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by His resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of His name among ALL the nations

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to EVERY one who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
2:9 There will be tribulation and distress for EVERY human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,
2:10 but glory and honor and peace for EVERY one who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.

Romans 2:28 For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical.
Romans 2:29 He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual and not literal. His praise is not from men but from God.

Romans 11:17 But if some of the [ jewish] branches were broken off, and you, a wild [ non-Jewish ] olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree [ Christ Jesus ],
19 You will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
23 And even the others, if they do not persist in their disbelief [ NOT "un-belief" ], will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.
24 For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural [ Jewish ] branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.

Romans 16:26 but is now disclosed and through the prophetic writings is made known to ALL nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith

So, there WILL be Tribulation Saints enduring the repressive and tyrannical reign of The Beast and The False Prophet and obomination who supports them. In fact, all TRUE saints at the present time who do not die of natural causes or accidents or diseases or whatever before The Beast and The False Prophet come on the scene and wreak havoc amidst the Acts-of-God Bowls-of-Wrath plagues and natural-catastrophe disasters are now seamlessly morphing into the advent of The Great Tribulation of 42 months, and there will NO soon-nor-distant-future genocidal "rapture" disappearances of murderous-by-default Christian pilots or bus drivers or taxi drivers or ship captains suddenly not there to continue transporting vehicles full of rather-innocent passengers nor surgeons disappearing to cause the deaths of somewhat-innocent critical-condition patients in hospitals, etc.

Matthew 24:40 Then two men will be in the field; one is taken and one is left.
Matthew 24:41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one is taken and one is left.

When? At some supposed pre-Trib-Rapture snatching up of cross-of-Christ/persecution-despising wimpy pseudo-"christian" cowards?

No! -- but instead THE multiple-combination Final-Judgment/Last-Day Event after the Millennial rod-of-iron rule of Christ on planet Earth:

Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."
Mark 13:32 "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

First Thessalonians 4:15 For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen "asleep."
First Thessalonians 4:17 then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the [ being-incinerated-with-fervent-heat ] clouds to meet the Lord in the [ being-incinerated-with-fervent-heat ] air; and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Second Peter 3:7 But by the same word the heavens and Earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until The Day of Judgment and destruction of godless (NOT "ungodly") men (and women).
10 But THE Day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be disintegrate with fire, and Earth and the works that are upon it will be incinerated.
11 Being that (NOT "since") all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,
12 waiting for and speeding up the coming of THE Day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will be annihilated with fire!
13 But according to His promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness resides.
Matthew 25:31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious Throne. 32 Before Him will be gathered ALL the nations, and He will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
33 and He will place the sheep at His right hand, but the goats at the left.
Second Peter 3:13 But according to His promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness resides.
Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth; for the first heaven and the first Earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;
3 and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Hey, the residence of God is with men (and women). He will reside with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be with them;
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away."
5 And He who sat upon the Throne said, "Hey, I make all things new." Also He said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."
6 And He said to me, "It is done! I am THE Alpha and the Omega, THE beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the fountain of the water of life without payment.
7 He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son.
8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, [mopheaded/sleevesless/slacksless/soxless-immodest-in-public-view] porno-idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in The Lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is The Second Death."
