Before the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the apostasy will come first and the anti-christ will reign and all the people will be marked with a number, will this happen after the rapture?

Ang Christian church ay divided concerning this and there are three major schools of thought. We believe that the Lord will come and before He comes, magkakaroon ng tribulation o paghihirap dito sa daigdig. During that time, tatatakan ang mga tao ditto sa planeta na ito ng number ng anti-christ. Without that number, you cannot buy or sell, you cannot participate in the economy. Ang tanong, mangyayari ba yung tatakan before the rapture? There are three schools of thought: pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation and post-tribulation.

Sa pre-tribulation, ang rapture daw ay mangyayari bago magkaroon ng tribulation o paghihirap sa daigdig. Yung school of thought naman midtribulation, ang church daw ay makakasama hanggang kalagitnaan ng tribulation at saka sila mara-rapture, hindi makukumpleto ang kanilang paghihirap. At may nagsasabi naman na pagkatapos pa ng lahat ng paghihirap at saka magkakaroon ng rapture. Ito ang post-tribulation.

Each school of thought has some points. Ang point ng pre-tribulation ay tinubos na ng Panginoon ang church sa kanyang kasalanan, so bakit pa siya masasali sa tribulation? To make the church suffer during the tribulation will be like making a person suffer twice for the same crime, because the Lord already suffered for us for our crimes. Ayon naman sa mid-tribulation, nag-umpisa na ang tribulation noong Roman times pa at hanggang ngayon ay tribulation pa rin. Pero hindi na mararamdaman ng mga Kristiyano yung matinding tribulation na parating dahil sa kalagitnaan noon mara-rapture na sila habang tuloy pa ang tribulation sa mga naiwan.
