That’s a category mistake. Persecution from man is not the same as wrath from God.
Jesus promised, “In this world you will have tribulation” (John 16:33).
But Paul said, “God has not destined us for wrath” (1 Thess 5:9).
These are two very different things.
Christian martyrs—past and present—face satanic hatred and human violence. But the Tribulation (Revelation 6–19) is God’s judgment on a rebellious world. It includes cosmic upheaval, demonic plagues, and bowls of wrath poured out directly by God.
It’s one thing to suffer in a fallen world. It’s another to say the Bride of Christ will endure the full brunt of the Lamb’s fury (Rev 6:16).
That’s not just bad theology—it undermines the very nature of God’s promises to His Church.
