The four horsemen

In my understanding of the end times, the Church will be raptured, meaning it will be taken to heaven before the tribulation begins. This is known as the pretribulational view, based on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-53. Just as God delivered Noah and his family from the flood, Lot and his family from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and Rahab and her family from the destruction of Jericho, God will deliver his family from the tribulation.
