Who are the Tribulation Saints?


 

There will be a great soul harvest during the great tribulation after the rapture of the Church led by: A. The two witnesses in Revelation 11:1-6; For 1,260 days (Rev 11:3) they will prophesy: “And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” B. In Revelation 7:1-8 we read about the sealing of the 144,000 Jewish “servants of God”. In verses 9-17, we see the fruit of their labor. “Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones WHO COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” -Revelation 7:13-14 C. In addition, in Revelation 14:6 the gospel is proclaimed by an angel, and Vs 9-10 have them warning the inhabitants of the earth against taking the Mark of the Beast. “Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—“ -Revelation 14:6

Revelation 7:9–17 describes a great multitude saved during the Tribulation—not the Church. ▶️ Rev. 7:14 – “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation…” They were not believers before it began—they were saved through the witness of the 144,000, the Two Witnesses, or other means. ▶️ The Church is not mentioned between Revelation 3 and 22, indicating it is already in heaven (cf. Rev. 3:10). ▶️ This group is distinct from the 24 elders (Church saints) and the 144,000 (Israelites). ▶️ Their presence shows God’s mercy, but many are martyred (Rev. 7:16) and only reach heaven after great suffering. This supports—not contradicts—the pretribulation rapture.
