Many Christians will not be ready to be received at the first rapture, because they were not watchful, prayer and keeping the word of His patience. Hence, they are the ones "left" as in 1 Thess. 4.15-17 who shall pass through the Tribulation, whereas those who were overcomer believers, they shall be received to the throne instead of meeting the Lord in the air at the last trumpet. This is the hope of the Church to be received according to readiness when the parousia begins concurrent with the beginning of the 7 year Tribulation.
Why does the Tribulation start? It begins because of the first rapture. Once that happens, Satan tries to explain it away. Millions will be missing. Many do not have faith to believe this. So when it happens, people such as yourself who had always rejected it will try to, along with Satan, explain it away. You might even say it is not Christian. Who can say you are a Christian then? This will harden your soul further, even to take the mark of the beast of the Tribulation. Whereas real Christians, though not received at first rapture, will understand why they were not raptured at the first rapture, because they had yet to overcome some things and were not yet ready to be received. Satan will respond to this first rapture with His last stand to incite the Tribulation.
What is interesting to me is how people such as yourself who claimed they were Christians will take the mark of the beast. It is no surprise the dogs will take the mark, but so will souls such as yourself, because you will be alongside Satan mocking the first rapture that had raptured millions of saints. In your heart of hearts, you just can't accept what God is doing. This leads one to conclusion the mark of the beast will be something quite reasonable to take and be very convincing. The incentives to have it will be overwhelming. Perhaps each person who receives it, gets an automatic $10,000 on their implant. You will start to get hungry, then you will take it and forsake all that you had held so dear to have a meal. By this time you were so angry at the overcomer believers already received to the throne. However, all along the way you can still accept God's decision to receive those who were ready at the first rapture. This is my prayer for you to receive the truth.
