On the other hand, there is a passage, II Thessalonians 1:6-7, that tells us that the Church will be given rest from tribulation when the Lord Jesus is revealed. Matthew 24:30 tells us when the Lord Jesus will be revealed: when the signs appear in the sky, after the Great Tribulation. Joel 2:31 tells us that the signs in the sky happen before the Day of the Lord. This gives us the order: (1) Great Tribulation (2) Signs, manifestation, rest from Tribulation (3) Day of the Lord. This distinguishes the Day of the Lord from the Great Tribulation. The Church is thus to be rescued after the Great Tribulation, at the manifestation, before the Day of the Lord.
