I believe that rapture will happen before the suffering. Christ will come and get his followers as well as the dead. Then evil will rule and those left behind will have to choose to get the mark of the beast or not. Those who refuse and repent will be the ones that get, “a second chance” if you will.
Just you know, do be prepared in case "somebody" doesn't decide to let you off easy and instead would like to see you tested and tried to see what you are really made of and give you a chance at being in the Martyr's club.
