There could be "peace and safety" at the beginning of the Tribulation. After the Rapture, the coronovirus will mysteriously go away. The anti-messiah will conquer peacefully with flattery and false promises. People will cry "peace and safety". Then the masks will truly come off and this false peace will end. There is no peace and safety after rapture. Immediately after the church is gone, Jesus opens the first 4 seals. First seal is the arrival of Anti Christ, who conquers based on his peace plan ( a bow with no arrow). Second seal is the red horse rider who takes away peace from this earth. Regional conflict erupts and many countries go to war with each other. Third seal is a global economic collapse which leads to hyperinflation. A daily wage can only afford a loaf of bread. Famine is everywhere. Fourth seal is death which follows a quarter of earth due to wars, famines, and pestilence. It will be chaos, confusion, wars, famine, at the beginning of tribulation.What follows next is Gog/Magog invasion against Israel, the 6th seal. A temporary peace can only come after this Gog/Magog. What about the Judgement Seat and crown ceremony and the worship ceremony of laying our crowns down at Jesus’ feet and we are saying or singing “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain”. This will take time and it all happens before we see Jesus opening up the seals which then kicks off the tribulation. So I can see Arthur’s timeline of events happening that the “peace and safety” announcement by the AC AFTER the rapture. The virus will have calmed down or they will be taking the vaccine shot and the unsaved will probably be deceived into thinking the born again believers all died from the virus or they see us fly away? The AC will have the answers to give and console them. If they see us fly away ... then the AC will say the aliens took us away. He will give false promises and a better tomorrow and then BAM ... the tribulation kicks in. Of course there is peace at the start of the Tribulation. The anti-messiah will conquer peacefully. We don't know how long until the second seal is open. It could be a half a year for all we know. There could be a calm before the storm. The Revelation of Jesus Christ 6:1-4 (NKJV) First Seal: The Conqueror Second Seal: Conflict on Earth I would think logically when it says that peace will be taken from the earth that there had to be peace to take away in the first place. First, there is no gap between the rapture and tribulation. Second, have you watched the left behind movie? Right after rapture, the world is fallen into chaos, confusion. Millions are weeping because their loved one are gone in rapture. Stock markets collapses, not to mention car accidents, air plane crashes in multiple places. The white horse rider who is AC, comes out to conquer by peace plan. It doesn't say that the world is at peace when he arrives on the scene. I would think at the very start of the Tribulation, the Gog Magog war happens. Gog and Magog are supernaturally destroyed. There is an exhilation by the world and the anti-messiah likely tries to take credit. The anti-messiah confirms the covenant and there is this false peace for a number of months. Then the second seal is opened by Jesus. As to the Left Behind movie, I haven't seen it. Like you and me, they are only speculating. Take a look at the riders ... they are in a particular order of sequence ... these happen after the church is up in heaven and after the Judgement Seat, Crown Ceremony, Worship Ceremony ... the seals are broken by Jesus and the riders come out of the gates .... Rider on the White Horse represents the AC coming in with a peaceful solution ... probably a solution for the virus, has the answers for the believers that have disappeared and has the solutions to the financial collapse ... One World Currency. Rider on the Red Horse means war unfolds ... G/M happens Rider on the Black Horse means famine Rider on the Pale Horse means more deaths
6 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the [a]seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
