    This timeline shows a few of the key differences between Post-trib and Pre-trib teachings; notice first that the Rapture (Day of Christ) occurs after the tribulation, followed by God's wrath. Also, notice that the Day of the Lord occurs at approximately the same time as the Rapture. It's important to note that, at no time is God pouring out his wrath during the tribulation. Believers going through the tribulation never are subject to God's wrath, only tribulation from Satan. All believers in all ages have experienced tribulation.

Common misconceptions about Post-trib:

  1. Tribulation equals wrath from God, according to Post-trib teaching God's wrath follows the rapture of the Church; believers never experience God's wrath only tribulation from Satan.
  2. Post-trib teaches the Day of the Lord occurs at the end of the tribulation, not at the beginning.
