No, what you are hoping for, is an escape from the refiner's fire known as the Great Tribulation. Keep hoping, but it will not be coming. The GT is designed to present to the Lord a Bride adorned without spot or wrinkle. Once that is in place, then the rapture, then God's wrath in the LAST half of the 7 years. The first 3.5… very brutal times for believers. The ac will wage war with the Saints, and will overcome them.
