Yes, Christians are called to suffer for Christ in a fallen world (John 15:18–20, 2 Timothy 3:12). Taking up our cross is part of following Jesus now.
But this general suffering is not the same as enduring God’s eschatological wrath during the Tribulation (Revelation 6–19). That’s a key distinction. The wrath of man or Satan is different from the Day of the Lord—a unique time of judgment (Zephaniah 1:14–18; 1 Thessalonians 5:9).
1 Thessalonians 1:10 – “Jesus… delivers us from the wrath to come.”
Revelation 3:10 – “Because you have kept my word… I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world.”
Jesus did say to take up our cross (Matthew 16:24), but He also said in Luke 21:36 to “stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place.”
So yes, Christians are called to self-denial and faithfulness in persecution. But that doesn’t mean God has destined His bride to suffer through His own divine judgments (Revelation 6–19). That’s not the same kind of suffering.
Suffering for Christ is noble.
Suffering under God’s wrath is not promised to the Church.
