Pre- or Post-tribulationism
Today most churches in the Netherlands avoid teaching on prophecy, end-time scenarios, and Israel. In practice they adhere to the amillennial eschatology. And sometimes in the Kingdom Now heresy. That is very sad because the flock isn't edified in prophecy, which is about 27% of the content of the Bible.
In those churches and ministries that do invest in studying Scripture on end-time prophecy and God's plan for Israel, there are two movements that respect oneanother but have different ideas related to the Tribulation period.
Post-tribulationists believe that the church and Israel both will go through the Tribulation period. They focus on supporting Israel in terms of building bridges with Jewish entities. They believe that God cannot tolerate that the Jews, after the Holocaust, again will be subject to persecution by the Antichrist in the Tribulation, while the regenerated gentiles are safely in heaven.
Pre-tribulationists believe that the church will be rapured into heaven before the Antichrist is revealed and the Tribulation period begins. Then, the church is absent from the earth during those 7 years of wrath of God and global tyrannical rule of the Man of Lawlessness on earth.
The Bible isn't completely clear about both theological positions.

We as a ministry in the International Bible School Wageningen support the pretribulational hermeneutics, based on what we discovered in the Bible. We share this position with most evangelical churches and evangelical para-church ministries. We also believe in God's two seperate plans for the everlasting salvation of the Jews and the Gentiles. Therefore, we do our best to support Israel and the Jews. The unrepented Jews will face ruthless persecution on earth during the first 3.5 years of the Tribulation. During the second half of that period the Jews will be given shelter in the desert. And when the Lord returns in glory, all then living Jews will also accept and receive the Jewish Messiah, as a nation. We, believers will experience 7 years in heaven face-to-face with the Lord, where we will receive rewards for the things we did for Him in our lifetime on earth after we have given Jesus an account. And we, as the bride of the Lamb will celebrate the wedding in heaven. And we will return to earth with the Lord in His second advent, and rule with Him in the Millennial KIngdom for 1000 years.
Issues for the posttrib adherants
They have no clear answer on the questions related to the Judgment Seat of Christ and it's rewards and they seem to be forgetting the promised wedding to the Lamb.
Prophecy is a mystery
We try to serve the Lord as good as we can and love the posttrib brothers and sisters. We are all-in in their commitment to help Israel restore and rejoice with every soul that receives Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah Jesus, in a new and everlasting life.
