My thoughts on the Coming Great Tribulation, Summary of Revelation and How to Prepare!

[Edward]

This is all very interesting. I have flip flopped a couple times about the rapture, because a good case can be made either way for it to be coming...and not coming. I look forward to viewing your videos, though I have not yet.

Apparently, I have no work today so perhaps I'll watch them today. I'll go subscribe right now so that I can easily find them when I need to, and when you add more.

I'll refrain from pertinent comments right now on the topic because I haven't seen the vids yet.

 

[Lawlord]

I tried to make the videos shorter (20 mins each). There is a separate 12 minute video on my channel directly discussing the rapture and the Word of God on this issue with my interpretation. I posted a thread on this video in this section of the forum. Thanks Edward

"The Great Tribulation Is Here!! Revelation Summary/How To Prepare!!!"

How to prepare is found in Jesus teaching.
Mat 24:44-51 (NKJV)
So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We prepare by doing what Jesus told us to do.
Love one another. (Jhn 13:34-35)
Shine your light of good works. (Mat 5:16)
Practice forgiveness. (Mat 6:15; Mar 11:26)
Be merciful. (Mat 25:40)
Do the good works God created us to do. (Eph 2:10)

Edited per ToS 2.6

I do see all Christians entering the tribulation. Absolutely. We will be in persecution, we will be slain for our beliefs. We will not be taken out before Tribulation. I make the case for this based on the Word, but all are free to their own interpretations. We must be overcomers and prove ourselves to the Lord through the fiery trials. Revelation/Thessalonians speaks of a great falling away in the faith. I believe this will occur in part from people's beliefs they would not have to suffer tribulation. When they find themselves in tribulation they may curse and renounce God.

I do not believe the events of Rev have begun. We are approaching the 'beginning of sorrows' of Matthew 24. War seems about to begin, among the other events. I believe the events of Revelation describe the 'great tribulation' described by Jesus in the latter part of Matthew 24, considering they involve 1/4th of people dying, 1/3rd dying, massive destructive events etc.

I'll come back to you on the Daniel 12:11 question.

Again sorry for any issues, was hoping this thread could stay up, you are welcome to remove the video link.

I think the "Beast" could be Islam. Number for Allah is 666. Their end time prophecy book is much like ours, but what we call good, they call evil, and what we call evil, they call good. The globalist who I believe are Luciferian have aligned themselves with Radical Islam. One world government with open borders needs one world law. They won't accept themselves or anyone else under anything other than Sharia.

Number for Allah is 666.

Actually, that was the number of Nero's name at the time of John's writing. (NERON in Greek)

Now the first thing I notice about this little horn, is the he cast the TRUTH to the ground. And the TRUTH PRACTICED, and PROSPERED.

And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.


The one who cast truth to the ground practiced and prospered, not the truth practiced and prospered.

Just curious, but what is so important or relevant about this "it" distinction that you had to selectively quote a post of mine from more than two months ago. What is the point you are trying to make? And why did you not respond to the actual comment I was making?

There are two "it" pronouns, but to which do each refer. Perhaps the first "it" refers to the HOST (and the host cast down...). Perhaps the second "it" refers to the TRUTH (and the truth practiced...).

What it does not say is HE cast down the truth..., nor does it say that HE practiced and prospered. But it does say that a HOST was given HIM.

In order to understand the daily sacrifice, we must first understand who this little horn is, and what he did. Now the first thing I notice about this little horn, is the he cast the TRUTH to the ground. And the TRUTH PRACTICED, and PROSPERED. There is only one individual that has cast the TRUTH to the ground and caused it to prosper. Jesus Christ. The Horn of David, the horn of our salvation. The same little horn spoken of in Daniel 7.

And a host was given to him, and none was lost but the son of perdition, that the scriptures might be fulfilled. A host was given to Christ, that they might bear record of the things they both saw and heard. This host that was given HIM we find as the Apostles throughout the book of Acts. On the day of Pentecost, the Truth began to practice, and to prosper.

He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.

 

[n2thelight]

Most don't understand that there are two tribulations,one of God and one of satan.
If you are alive ,you will go through both.

satans is deception Christ is His wrath

If you don't fall for the deception His wrath has no effect on you...

 

[Randy]

Lawlord satan masquerades as an angel of light. I would state you are not a prophet. Ref your dreams. Common trick in regard to those new or recent to the Lord.

I would state Rev 11 is a sign that can't be mistaken. I also don't read of a pre tribulation pull out of anyone. I do read of saints being beheaded for they refused the mark of the beast,

In regard to Rev 3:10 you might consider King Josiah was given a similar promise and how it was fulfilled.

The beast is released at the sounding of the 5th trump call of God. The angel of the abyss. The false prophet acts in his behalf. The one who kills the two witnesses in Rev 11. Its not until the sounding of the 7th trump that the Kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of God and His Christ. 5th to 7th trump should then be in the days of the bowl judgments.

Now the bowl judgments are the last of Gods judgments and are the judgments that plunge the beasts kingdom into darkness. Jesus and His armies then come at the appointed time suddenly and surprising to the unbelievers for the great battle of God almighty. Rev 16:15 The saints who are wise and know their God and Lord will not be surprised and will understand what is taking place in those days. As God has made it known before hand. In fact we are discussing it now before hand.

So I see no measurable distinction between that day, rev 16:15, and the 2nd coming. Its the last day. God through Jesus deals with His enemies and Jesus brings back the saints. A body resurrection. Those left alive on earth on that day are caught up and changed in the twinkling of a eye as they are also clothed with their new bodies as well. As flesh and blood can't inherit the eternal kingdom God promised to those that love Him.

Again Rev 11 is a sign that can't be mistaken. 1260 days of testimony and the two who are killed and refused burial are raised up alive in full view of the whole world and taken up to heaven. Even in this day through tv and social media the whole world can view events around the world. On that day will it be iPhone 15 video and camera?? (smile)

Yes but the young man is inexperienced and satan tried that trick with me many moons ago. A much more inexperienced and younger me. Had a dream in which I was told I was a prophet. The very next morning as I sat up on my bed a power griped me. My head looked up. I saw no one. I felt a shaking in my spirit and ,(not of my own accord or will), stated out loud "you are not a prophet". Then I felt another shaking in my spirit and once again stated out loud "you are not a prophet" then I was released. The Lord watches over those who love Him.

I heard that most commercial banks do not show the tellers counterfeit money...they show them only real money so when the counterfeit is shown..the tellers can tell immediately that it is fake.

In this day and age we read the scriptures and make judgments. true or not true. We believe Jesus Christ is Gods last word and the head of the body of Christ. Even Rev was given to Him by God. Rev 1:1
