Christians must go through the tribulation, for three reasons. One, the
tribulation isn't what you think it is! Secondly, It is pre-ordained that end
times Christians go through this period. And thirdly, you'll have no part with
Christ if you don't go through this tribulation period. Let's look at this for
a minute.
You have been led to believe, most erronously also, that the tribulation period
means wrath of God. It's doesn't. This tribulation means a time of testing of
Christians and their faith. It's a time period in which antichrist wages war
on Christians, and in many cases, overcomes theim, or prevails against them.
But before I get into that, let's look at the word Tribulation first.
The word Tribulation never means wrath, or wrath of God, like many preachers
teach, or end times movies present. The word tribulation in the greek means
Pressure. The actual greek word for tribulation is thlipsis; meaning
pressure, or oppression. Like I stated before, the word tribulation never
meant wrath, in the New Testament meaning of the word. It's pressure
antichrist will put on the saints, and he will have power to over come them; or
prevail against them.
Let's look at what the Word teaches:
"I beheld, and the same horn (antichrist) made war with the saints (Living
Christians), and
prevailed
against them;
Daniel 7:21 KJV
And
"And it was given unto him (antichrist) to make war with the saints (Living
Christains), and to
overcome them
: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Revelation 13:7 KJV
The main theme of these two verses is that antichrist will make war, or wage
war against Christians and prevail against them; or win against them. So,
keeping this in mind, as we think about the mark of the beast times, which is
coming sooner than you think, you'll be asked a question: "Will you renounce
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and receive this microchip, or die?"
A question must be welling up in your minds:
Why would God allow this to happen?
The answer is simple. The church is so worldly right now, you can't
distinguish it from the world. It's all in our attitudes, our different
beliefs; our way of dressing when we go to church; and the very fact there are
many Christians who are not really saved. They just think they are. So, God
is going to put the churches, worldwide through the meat grinder, so to speak,
to strengthen their faith and draw them closer to Him. A Holy God cannot
accept lukewarm, wishy washy, carnal Christians. So you are to use this time
of testing to draw closer to your God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He's coming
back for a bride dressed in white; not a harlot, which many Churches are today.
And what a time of testing it will be! Your family will turn on you. Your
friends will turn on you. You'll not be able to buy food, or sell anything.
Cash will be worthless, in this new credits based cashless system they are
putting in place. And to be honest, many of you reading this are already
chipped, without your knowledge, or will take the chip. Trust me; not many
people can abide torture too well. But according to the Word, many will endure
to the end, and make it thorugh this time. So, keeping this sober teaching in
mind; shouldn't you begin to make preparations? And to do it prayerfully.
Christ has already came for the righteous dead, of which I'm a witness to. You
may call me crazy. You may call me mentally ill. You may call me a delusional
kook, but when this time period comes, and the worldwide testing of the Bride
of Christ comes, you'll think of me. But I hope, more so you'll think of
Christ and turn to Him.
For He will come.
Now, we talked about the tribulation being a time of pressure, pressure the
antichrist puts on the churches, to toughen them up; to clean them up; to draw
them closer to God. But nowhere does the word tribulation mean wrath. The
tribulation period will last 3 and 1/2 years. Even now, worldwide, Christians
are being killed for their faith. But the wrath of God period; which also
lasts 3 and 1/2 years, is called the Day of the Lord. That's the time in which
God, in His fury pours out His wrath on a sinful and godless world.
Both periods compose the 7 year period, that preachers get wrong in their
teachings and preaching. The tribulation period is not 7 years. It's 3 and
1/2 years, and then God's wrath for 3 and 1/2 years.
In Exodus, from Exodus 7:20 through Exodus 12:30 KJV, the Bible speaks of the
deliverence of the Hebrews from the Egyptians. The plagues were unlike any
that ever happened to any people on the planet. While God poured out his fury
on the Egyptians, the Hebrews, who lived in Goshen, had not one plague happen
to them. While the Egyptians were being decimated, the Hebrews were safe.
But notice that God didn't take the Hebrews out of Egypt before the plagues
started. They were in the land during all the plagues. God kept them safe
and sound. Same way with this tribulation period. God isn't going to take
Christians out of the situation. But He can keep them safe and sound,
providing they, the Christians prayerfully prepare. The ones who will get
their heads chopped off, are merely those who didn't heed the warnings in the
Bible, and of the Prophets and got caught in the snare. And like I stated
before; many will take the microchip implant. But Christians should use this
time of testing as a means to get closer to God, through Jesus Christ of
Nazareth.
So, to summarize what I just taught; The antichrist will have power over all
the earth; and we can see the vehicle for this in the United Nations. His main
enemy during this time will be Christians. He will make it mandatory everyone
take a mark; and those that don't will be killed by beheading. God will allow
this time period to happen to Christians to strenghthen their faith and to draw
them close to Him.
So, in conclusion, you should not view this time period with fear and
trepidation. You should embrace it as a joyous time; a time period in which
your LORD has foreordained for you; to bring you into His kingdom, and no one
can ever touch you again.
One last thing: Even Jesus taught, HIMSELF that Christians will go through the
tribulation period in Matthew 24: 29-31 KJV, when HE SAID, He would not come
back for the Elect until AFTER the tribulation period:
9 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall
all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in
the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall
gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the
other.
Matthew 24: 29-31 KJV
Key words in those verses being "AFTER the tribulation." I know this probably
flies in the face of your theology; especially if you get your doctrine from
John Hagee; The Left Behind Series, etc. But this is very important
information for Christians to know. But I hate to be the one to break it to
you, but there is no pre-tribulation rapture, especially in the King James
Bible.
