Excellent question. I think we're already in it and have been for years. I suspect it to get far worst unless The Most High holds back HIs hand of judgement. However, I just don't see grace and mercy being released because we're in the time of testing and the early season of indignation. While some may be set aside for protection, many are already suffering in silence and will likely continue so until the very end. A lot of "leaders" got it wrong and we've (Hebrews/Christians) all been programmed to think we're going to escape because nobody enjoys pain and suffering. The scripture says folk will get their heads cut off because they refused the MOB. Why does scripture say such things, if everyone got either Raptured or experienced the 2nd Exodus? I hope for the best, but anticipate the worst before it's all over.
