You are revising Scripture. The 6th seal is the most detailed evidence that there are no believers on Earth during the Trib. “Everyone” is gathered there. Everyone behaves only as unbelievers would behave. You can’t escape those facts. They are proof there are no believers on Earth.Yes, I believe they will , as they will be just 2 of the 144,000, who go out to the world to proclaim the coming Kingdom. Isaiah 66:19
But Gods people are present, as the 'beast' conquers them. Revelation 13:7, Daniel 7:25, Zechariah 14:1-2
The Christians who must remain under persecution, cannot be new converts, as they are identified as people who keep the Commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus.
Your wrong idea of them being new converts, is impossible and your fable of the Church being raptured off to heaven before any kind of trial or test; is totally un scriptural and will not happen.
The new converts that occur are converted by the 144k. They obviously teach the Ten Commandments and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
How many Christians today can recite the Ten Commandments? How many can even define the gospel of Jesus Christ? You are misunderstanding the thorough effectiveness of the 144k and the reality (belief system) of the new converts in the Trib.
They wil have seen irrefutable evidence of the reality of God. They then get a profound reality on salvation by grace. They then accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit brings on their spiritual renewal.
They then want nothing more than to share the priceless gift they have just received. They learn and recite the Ten Commandments and the gospel of Jesus Christ. This drives the hardcore unbelievers crazy and they martyr every new convert they can find.
You keep denying the words of Jesus in Rev 3:10: “I will keep you FROM the hour of trial.” That can only mean that believers are not on Earth during the Trib. If we’re not on Earth during the Trib, where are we?
Apostle John proves in Rev 22:8 that he was shown everything about Rev by the angel sent to him. Rev 22:8 (ESV): I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me,
Apostle John thereby proves he never left Patmos during his vision of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. That proves that Rev 4:1 was just another verse he was compelled to record in Scripture as a future event.
Jesus’ words in Rev 3:10 will be fulfilled by the pre-Trib rapture of the Church, straight to Heaven, per Rev 4:1.
