GOD REMOVED NOAH AND LOT BEFORE HIS WRATH WAS POURED OUT
Genesis 7:17 - "And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth."Genesis 19:17 - "And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed."
GOD POSSIBLY REMOVED TWO FOR FUTURE MINISTRY
Genesis 5:24 - "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." [Note: Enoch may be one of the two witnesses - Heb. 9:27; 11:5; Rev. 11:3].
2 Kings 2:11 - "And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."
[Note: Elijah may be one of the two witnesses - Heb. 9:27; Rev. 11:3]
BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS REMOVED BEFORE THE TRIBULATION
John 14:1-3, 6 - "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.... I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 - "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
Revelation 4:1 - "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter."
THE TWO WITNESSES BEFORE THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION
Revelation 11:3, 7, 11-12 - "And I will give power unto My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth....And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them....And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them."
