Noah was safely in the ark before God's wrath came on them.
Luk 17:26  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luk 17:27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

 

Lot was safely out of sodom before God's judgment wrath came on them.
Luk 17:28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luk 17:29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

 

The Bride of Christ similarly should be protected before God's wrath comes.
Luk 17:30  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

 

1Th 5:3  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
 

 

In Noah's day the people didn't know what was to happen (they didn't believe Noah), they were about their lives as usual.
In Lot's time the people also were going about as usual, they didn't know what was about to happen.
IT would appear that before the end time wrath of God that again the people will not know what is about to come on them.

 

Noah was safely in the ark shortly before God's wrath.
Lot was safely out of sodom shortly before God's wrath.
It appears the Bride of Christ will be hidden shortly before God's end time wrath.

 

Rev 6:12  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev 6:13  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 6:14  And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15  And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16  And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17  For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

 

Not all of God's judgments are God's wrath. For instance, God uses His judgments to bring people to salvation, and God uses His judgments to punish (that is wrath).

 

To be able to pin point, when in the end time God's wrath begins, let's us know when the catching up to the Lord will be, just prior to it.

 

I cannot pin point that time. Perhaps God's wrath begins with Him destroying the northern armies (gog magog) saving Israel from complete destruction, 1Thess 5:3 seems to indicate that.

 

God Bless, John Too.
