Fear not. God is good at watchin' over His kids.
(My older bro Kevin just sent me this verse today. Thank you! That’s what brothers are for — edification! Grateful. Fascinating stuff too).
“By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed — by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.” Rev. 9:18
Musin’ here on the soon-coming seven years of tribulation on earth ..#Gr8TriB period of time where the first half is really bad, but the second half of it (3 1/2 years) will be that which no human will even want to be anywhere near — so SO TERRIBLE.
It’s gunna be worse than just a bit crazy, wild and painful down here. Hard to describe with the English language really.
But no worries, believer, just know and walk close with Christ and you won’t have to hassle with it at all.
It’ll be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time. Jesus spoke of this in Matthew 24:21. God also spoke of the Great Tribulation in Jeremiah 30:7, “Alas! for that day is great, there is none like it; and it is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved from it.” The phrase “Jacob’s distress” refers to the nation of Israel, which will experience persecution and natural disasters such as have never before been seen. And they as a people have already seen way too much before from hateful persecution.
Consider what Jesus said in Matthew 24:15–30, the beginning of the Great Tribulation has much to do with the abomination of desolation, an action of the Antichrist. In Daniel 9:26–27, we find that this man (Mr. Lu-Cifer’s charismatic Rep) will make a “covenant” (a peace pact) with the world for seven years. Halfway through the seven-year period — “in the middle of the week” — we are told this man will break that very covenant that he made, stopping the sacrifice and grain offerings, which specifically refers to his actions in the rebuilt Jewish temple of the future.
Revelation 13:1–10 speaks more about “the Beast’s actions”, and just as important, this also verifies the length of time he will be in power. Revelation 13:5 says he will be in power for 42 months, which is three and one-half years, the length of the Great Tribulation.
The Revelation offers us a lot of info about the Great Tribulation. From Revelation 13 when the Beast is revealed until Jesus Christ returns to earth in Revelation 19, we are given a picture of God’s wrath being poured out upon the earth …because of the unbelief and rebellion of sinners here (See Revelation 16–18). This also gives us a good picture of how God disciplines His kids and at the same time protects His people Israel (Revelation 14:1–5) until He keeps His promise to Israel by establishing an earthly kingdom (Revelation 20:4–6).
Fact: Born again (real) Christians will be outta here in the Rapture early. Caught away, taken out to forever be with the Lord. Man, you can have my cars.
“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matt. 24:21
Is the Great Tribulation the last 3.5 years of the end times Tribulation?
Who will be saved during the tribulation? Will many people turn and trust..repent and believe in the Bible Jesus Christ to become born again believers during the Tribulation?
“And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, ‘These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.’” Rev/ 7:14
What are the events that will occur during the end times Tribulation period of time?
I hold not to the posttribulational (post trib) view of the rapture cuz all through the Bible God has taken the righteous out before the judgement or wrath on sin came down? (i.e., see Noah, Lot) What is posttribulationism / posttribulationalism?
AKA … also known as pretribulationism or pretribulationalism? What is the pre-trib understanding of the rapture?
Is the Tribulation period considered to be the time of Jacob’s trouble?
Do Daniel and Revelation contradict on the length of the tribulation?
What is the mid-trib understanding of the rapture?
Was the Olivet Discourse fulfilled in 70 A.D. when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem?
