Will the Holy Spirit be here during the tribulation period? If I'm not mistaken I have heard many of those who believe in the pre-tribulation rapture say the Holy Spirit will leave the earth or be taken away at the same time the rapture of the church happens, and this will be before the tribulation period starts. So there would be no Holy Spirit on the earth for what they say will be a 7 year tribulation period. If we read Mk 13:3-11 we see Jesus answering the question of what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled, This is the same question asked in Mt 24:3 just worded in a different way. Mk 13:5,8,11 v.5 Tells us "take heed lest any man deceive you" (This is the first warning of Jesus, there will be much deception during this time period). v.8 Tells us that nation will rise against nation, it also says there will be famines and (troubles) this verse tells us these are the beginning of sorrows. Now Mk 13:11 Tells us we will be delivered up, and that we should take no thought beforehand what we shall speak , ((for it is not ye that speak but the Holy Spirit)). Just 3 verses after this in Mk 13:14 we see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, this will start great tribulation, the last half of the 7 year period) If I'm wrong and this is not a pre-trib rapture belief then I do apologize for that. But if that is what pre-tribers believe then this is proof using Scripture that the Holy Spirit is on the earth during the first half of the tribulation period, which is called the beginning of sorrows. That would mean the Holy Spirit did not leave with the church, IF the church had been raptured before the tribulation.

That might be interesting to know, but u know something.

I Do Not Want to be around to find out.

If a person did not make it at the 1st call with the Holy Spirit here, when things are worse after that what makes someone think "that" person will make it then?

Remember the part that says, no buying or selling without the mark?
