Looking deeper into wrath.

Often, pretribulationists will point to 1 Thessalonians 5:9 as proof that believers will not be here for "the Tribulation." While the verse does say that we are not appointed to wrath, this doesn't really apply to "the Tribulation," because "the Tribulation" isn't real.

There are various kinds of wrath (i.e. God's wrath, man's wrath, the devil's wrath, etc.) and it is only God's wrath that we are spared from. His wrath comes in four types according to my understanding which are eternal, eschatological, periodical, and perpetual. When we are addressing His eschatological (end-time) wrath, we need to search out what He says about "the Day of the LORD" to truly understand what lies ahead.
