Storm Warning: The Final Warning Before the Coming Tribulation

There has been an increase in natural disasters in some recent years and an acceleration of certain types of earthquakes more details as well as most recent information on earthquakes can be found in the article Earthquakes Today and Bible Prophecy:. About 42 million people were forced to flee their homes because of natural disasters around the world in , more than double the number during the previous year The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre said the increase from 17 million displaced people in was mainly due to the impact of "mega-disasters" It said more than 90 percent of the disaster displacements were caused by weather-related hazards such as floods and storms that were probably impacted by global warming, but it couldn't say to what extent.

With all probability, the number of those affected and displaced will rise as human-induced climate change comes into full force," said Elisabeth Rasmusson, the secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council. Millions displaced by natural disasters last year. Associated Press, June 5, A new United States Geological Survey study has found that middle America between Alabama and Montana is experiencing an "unprecedented" and "almost certainly manmade" increase in earthquakes of 3.

In , there were events of that size. That's six times more than were normally seen during the 20th century. While the changes in the area's seismicity began in , the trend has really accelerated since , the geologists note. The Atlantic, April 6, There has also been more extreme weather in the past several years, including droughts around the world as well as across the USA an article of related interest may be Weather Blessings and Sorrows. And surely they do. The Apostle Paul warned that in the last days, perilous times would come:.

And from such people turn away! Some do not believe that it is at all possible to know when the Great Tribulation will begin. Various ones will cite the following from Jesus:. There are several scriptural proofs, three of which I will bring up here now. First of all, the Apostle Paul made it clear that true Christians would know about when it would occur:.

And they shall not escape. We are not of the night nor of darkness. And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age? Jesus did NOT respond with, there is nothing to look for, you cannot possibly know. Instead, notice what Jesus taught in response:. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. But when the sacrifices stop and the abomination is set up Daniel 9: FWIW, I have suspected that the beginning of sorrows may have begun on September 19, or shortly thereafter.

During the Feast of Tabernacles, in the first week of October in , a sense came over me that something just happened. That we were then in the 'beginning of sorrows. After returning from the Feast of Tabernacles, I did some research to look to see if any major ecumenical event could have happened around then. Well, there was a meeting of the Eastern Orthodox that included that date which seemed to embrace the ecumenical agenda of the white horseman of Revelation 6: And that seemed to be consistent with the first sorrow Jesus mentioned in Matthew I perhaps should mention that I also told the presiding evangelist of my former church in November of , that the beginning of sorrows may have started on September 19, or shortly thereafter, and then that church put out several writings that the beginning of sorrows had begun.

Notice the following from an official Eastern Orthodox website:. The meeting brought together twenty-five participants from nearly all Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches, hierarchs, priests, members of monastic communities, university professors, lay persons male and female, and WCC staff. World Council of Churches. By itself, the meeting did not seem like too much, but it was partially in response to the World Council of Churches.

Later Orthodox statements and developments have demonstrated that it might have been quite important. Zenit, October 16, On the next day, the Vatican and the Orthodox began a new round of ecumenical negotiations. The meeting took place from October …The Orthodox meeting discussed among other things the negative reactions to the Dialogue by certain Orthodox circles, and unanimously considered them as totally unfounded and unacceptable, providing false and misleading information. Paphos, Cyprus, October Paphos, Cyprus, 22 October The meeting was attended by 20 Catholic members; all Orthodox Churches were represented, with the exception of the Patriarchate of Bulgaria.

The commission worked under the guidance of two co-presidents: Zenit, October 23, The actions of Patriarch Bartholomew may have triggered this. Consider that this first seal is to be or even was opened around the time when the one who will become the False Prophet successfully works with groups which will re-connect with Rome. At least one significant re-connection happened in with some of the Anglicans Messia H, Hanna J. Vatican welcomes Anglicans into Catholic Church.

CNN, October 21, This has been followed by one or more declarations involving the Lutherans, Eastern Orthodox, and others related tothe Church of Rome. He claimed to see a vision of the sun-god and then later a cross in the sky. Constantine impacted world history and the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople seems to be as well, though a but more subtly as far as the world is concerned.

Could Patriarch Bartholomew tipped the scales for many of the Eastern Orthodox to work towards ecumenical unity at that time? It certainly seems so. With all the troubles we have had, we certainly seem to be in the beginning of sorrows. Signs and wonders are expected 2 Thessalonians 2: Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. So, Jesus said to watch, because otherwise we would not know. Thus, if we watch as He taught, we certainly can have an idea that the great tribulation is close--otherwise Jesus would not have repeatedly stated to His followers to watch.

Since the "time of Jacob's trouble" Jeremiah Because many DO NOT understand the modern identity of Jacob's descendants, they do not realize the significance of the final time of the Gentiles. The past couple of centuries have been dominated by the descendants of Jacob's on Joseph, British-Ephraim and the American-Manasseh. But that will change.

Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2019 or 2020? Is it the Time of the Gentiles?

About the time to flee, which is after the beginning of sorrows has been going on for years , Michael will stand up and then the great tribulation will follow, "At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time.

And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book" Daniel For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time has drawn near. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows Mark He said that a particular generation would see all these events, and that generation which has seen the start of the beginning of sorrows would seem to be that generation.

In Mark's account the great "tribulation" does not start until verse 19 essentially after the same events as Matthew's account lists. Economic recessions and even depressions can be considered as "troubles. Even secular sources warn that things are lining up for famines and major disruptions in the first half of the 21st century.

Notice one such source from March 19, F ood and energy shortages will create 'perfect storm', says Prof John Beddington. Growing populations, falling energy sources and food shortages will create the "perfect storm" by , the government's chief scientist Professor John Beddington has said. The demand for resources will create a crisis with dire consequences, Prof Beddington predicts.

Demand for food and energy will jump 50 per cent by and for fresh water by 30 per cent, as the global population tops 8. He said food reserves are at a year low but the world requires 50 per cent more energy, food and water by Prof Beddington said climate change would mean Northern Europe would become new key centres for food production and other areas would need to use more advanced pesticides. The amount of fresh water available per head of the population is expected to decline sharply in that time.

Food and energy shortages will create 'perfect storm', says Prof John Beddington. Telegraph, March 19, During this time, physical prepa ration, while not as helpful as spiritual preparation, does make sense. We all know the Bible prophecies famines. Should we do something physically? See, Physical Preparation Scriptures for Christians. The end is getting near, especially for the Anglo-American nations see also Anglo - America in Prophecy but is not yet.

Sometime during the beginning of sorrows, a prince will start to rise up who will be the final biblical King of the North. The Orthodox seem to realize that he may be identified around then. Near the end of the 4th century, there was an exchange between two important Orthodox leaders pertaining to the beginning of sorrows: When will come the end of the world?

From what signs and events shall humanity be able to know that the end of the world is near and what signs will be manifest? Now son, how can I relate to you without tears the events of the beginning of sorrows and the end of the world?

Happiness will reign in the world as it did in the days of Noah. People will become very rich The entire world will fear this king So, some ancient Orthodox writings indicate that the Great Monarch will rise up during the time of the beginning of sorrows—and that is correct--and he will go right into the time of the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord.

However, it also needs to be understood, that while the above Orthodox discussion indicates that having things as they were in the days of Noah is a positive thing, the Bible warns that this occurrence comes after the tribulation has began and is a sign that Jesus is about to return Matthew There is also something, from the Book of Ezekiel, that seems to begin during the beginning of sorrows famine and pestilences and last until the Great Tribulation the start of Jacob's trouble, which likely will begin with an attack on the Anglo-nations, please see Daniel I, the Lord, have spoken.

Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. Israel became independent on May 14, , and this was officially recognized May 1, This independence has affected the views of many Protestants related to prophecy. Many base a lot of their prophetic understandings on it. As shown by other scriptures e. Later, the Bible shows that God separated ten tribes of Israel 1 Kings However, because of not understanding other scriptures, many overlook the scriptures that teach that there are other tribes of Israel in other places.

Notice the following from the New Testament:. Some, mainly Protestants, have pointed to the formation of the small nation of Israel as the fulfillment of many end time prophecies. And this has frequently been overstated. Many consider that the final generation to see the great tribulation and Jesus' return started with Many Christians in the United States believe that it is their biblical responsibility to support the contemporary Jewish State of Israel for specific theological reasons as opposed to general political ones , a view known as Christian Zionism. The Pew Research Center put the figure at 63 percent for white evangelicals.

A growing number of Christians, however, are left increasingly uneasy about the idea that God would bring the Jewish people back to Palestine while they are in unbelief, since that was why they were exiled from it in the first place. Christian Research Journal , volume 29, number 06, http: In other words, many Protestants believe this even though Protestants writers have made claims that are not backed up by the literal interpretation of the prophecies in the Bible. Many claim that the Jews returning to that land from around the world fulfills biblical prophecies.

Here is one such claim:. Isaiah 43 5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. Isaiah lived years ago. Beginning at that time, a succession of empires conquered the land of Israel and forced many into exile. This led to a worldwide scattering of Jews. But, during the past century, millions have returned to Israel. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.

But, people in the modern nation of Israel are afraid, David has not been raised up as king of Israel, and only a relatively small percentage of the total Israelite-descended population has ended up in the nation of Israel. The same source as the above had the following:. I wonder how true this will turn out to be…….. That prediction was in error. It is currently estimated that there are between about 14 to 18 million Jews and I suspect much higher, along with at least hundreds of millions of descendants of Israel from the other tribes , with about 6 million living in the nation of Israel.

Even ignoring the other tribes of Israel, it is clear that since most Jews do not live in Israel, that the prophecies some interpret related to the Jews returning to Israel are in error. But, millions more returned after Israel declared independence in There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.

They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them. But most importantly, overwhelmingly number of Jews in Israel do not know the true God now as God. You see, none of the prophecies concerning the end times were relevant — much less understood — until Israel became a nation again in In His parable concerning the fig tree, Jesus told His disciples that when it begins to put forth leaves, they would know that summer is near.

In the same way, He said that the generation that saw all of the signs He listed occurring within the same time span, and increasing in frequency and intensity, should recognize that His coming is near. But before there actually existed a nation of Israel, none of them made sense. The Hal Lindsey Report.

So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. The Fig Tree Prophecy of Matthew Israel the fig tree has put forth its leaves and been reborn as a nation therefore the coming of Christ draws near.

A generation is between years, Israel was established again on May 15, Jews are still immigrating back to Israel from nations far and wide, just like the Bible said they would. Here is one of the passages of scripture that certain ones believe relate to the formation of the State of Israel:. Notice that the above ties Israel with figs, but only claims to bring the good figs back. Furthermore, look at the other passages that follow:.

The above clearly has not happened. Jewish settlers have been plucked up. Hence it is not appropriate to tie Jeremiah Now why would anyone try? Well they do to attempt to prove that the nation of Israel is the fig tree that Jesus referred to in the gospels. Here is what Jesus said:. When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. Victor Books, , pp. Not only was Dr. Walvoord correct that there is no scriptural basis, I will take it a step further. Jesus noted that the events in Matthew Mark 13, and Luke 21 would all happen within the same generation. Originally written , Hendrickson Publishers, p. Here is that scripture:. Essentially, years divided by four generations equals what may be considered 35 years per generation, with 40 years more probable as that would make the grandchild of the last generation 20 years of age.

Some have apparently concluded that the State of Israel needed to form for the event in verse 15 to occur. And while that may well be, that was not the first of the items to be fulfilled in "this generation. And because Jesus said, "this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place" Matthew As I wrote years ago, I have suspected that the beginning of sorrows may have begun on September 19, or shortly thereafter. There was an meeting of certain leaders in the Eastern Orthodox church around then that seemed to embrace the ecumenical agenda of the white horseman of Revelation 6: I perhaps should mentioned that I also told the presiding evangelist of my former church in November of , that the beginning of sorrows may have started on September 19, or the next month, and not too long thereafter that church put out several writings stating that the beginning of sorrows had began.

The ecumenical agenda has really been pushed since that time, which is a sign that many Protestants have difficulty seeing. Certain Protestants have sadly also accepted that agenda themselves e. This is something that Jesus did refer to in Matthew Of course, that prophecy about the sacrifices stopping will not be fulfilled until after the sacrifices are resumed, which having a Jewish nation could and at some point in time will do see also Why is a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Not Required? The start of the nation of Israel, because of its allusion in Matthew The prophecies in Jeremiah and Ezekiel do not possibly point to what happened when Israel was formed in Jesus is coming and Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A video of related interest is titled Israel, , and Prophecy. Many will be complacent and not really think it will happen, but that will be a mistake:. The forts and towers will become lairs forever, A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks — Isaiah Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

It is against "an hypocritical nation" that God will send the European Assyria to punish Isaiah The same root Hebrew word is in both Isaiah While it is important not to discount that the Great Tribulation is coming, one should also not believe it is coming before it can cf. The fifth seal pictures a time of great tribulation — including a martyrdom for religious convictions. The New Testament, along with Revelation, emphasizes its impact on the spiritual people of God — his own Church. The great tribulation also falls on what was God's physical nation — the House of Israel, or the descendants of Jacob's 12 sons.

Jeremiah wrote of this period and the events that immediately follow. For that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is the time of Jacob's trouble" Jeremiah Daniel called it "a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation" Daniel It is the same time described by Jesus in Matthew This distress would climax in the death of mankind if Christ failed to intervene in human affairs verse Immediately following the great tribulation of the fifth seal come the cosmic disturbances of the sixth seal. These herald the beginning of the very last days. Mounce put it, this is the "grim announcement that the end of the world was at hand.

Notice that the fifth seal is open and is related to persecutions. There are persecutions just before the Great Tribulation starts per Daniel 7: For more on persecution, please check out the article Persecutions by Church and State. How like a widow is she, Who was great among the nations! The princess among the provinces Has become a slave! Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy.

He has thrown down in His wrath The strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground; He has profaned the kingdom and its princes. He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire Devouring all around. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children, Who faint from hunger at the head of every street. He kindled a fire in Zion, And it has devoured its foundations. Woe to us, for we have sinned! Since Jesus said this will be the greatest tribulation of all time, it will be at least as bad as what Jeremiah was inspired to write.

Although many in the Church of God have experienced economic and social persecution in their walk with Christ, future severe persecution, beginning first with the Philadelphia remnant of Christians, is expected Daniel 7: While many like to focus on the idea that the Philadelphians will flee to a place of protection , it needs to be understood that there will apparently be a time of severe persecution just prior to the fleeing and the start of the Great Tribulation.

This will be also be a time of demonic signs and lying wonders 2 Thessalonians 2: I will draw out a sword after them. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel. The bolded portion is consistent with Jesus' comments in Matthew So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins Like a woman in labor, And all faces turned pale? The final time of the Gentiles coincides with the time of the Great Tribulation and the time of Jacob's troubles.

And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. Notice that Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Jesus whose words are recorded in Luke , and John who penned Revelation were talking about the same time. This means those that are descended from Israel or have the name of Jacob cf. This will be a terrible time. WHO will plunge the world into it? We have the what and the when. Now notice the who! Now , upon WHOM? And they were the Birthright tribes ….

These are Great Britain and the United States. Plain Truth, July It is the common assumption that the times of the Gentiles are a period of blessing on the nations. It is argued that since God took away the blessing of being great and dominant nations from Israel and Judah and since the Gentiles for centuries have been dominant nations, that human rule is a blessing bestowed upon the Gentiles. Some even think that it might end this year.

Letter of Warning

But all these supposed dates for the ending of the times of the Gentiles are mere guesses! The truth is that almost no one really knows what the times of the Gentiles are. Israel was promised great national blessings, including national greatness if they would obey God.

But God also promised that if they obstinately refused to obey Him, if they refused to follow His laws and let Him rule their lives, then He would punish them for a period called seven times Lev. The Bible itself defines this period of seven times for us. If you turn to Revelation the twelfth chapter, and compare verses 6 and 14 you will see that the word time in prophecy simply means a year, hence seven times would be seven years or days.

Then seven times or prophetic days would equal literal years! This period of seven times or years punishment did come upon Israel because they went their own ways and would no: Israel went into captivity about B. At that time the descendants of the ancient House of Israel -America and Britain and the democratic peoples of the world--began to rise to such wealth and power as the world has never enjoyed before all because of the promises made to Abraham.

Also Palestine, after a punishment against the House of Judah, that began about R. The original prophecy to which Jesus had reference is found in the fourth chapter of Daniel. Remember what Jesus said in Luke That Jerusalem would be trodden down of the Gentiles until the very completion of the times of the Gentiles!

What are the Times of the Gentiles? Plain Truth, September It was essentially after years that the Anglo-American powers rose up. That year time of the Gentiles is over. In , the late evangelist Herman Hoeh wrote a similar article and added to it:. If you turn to Revelation the twelfth chapter, and compare verses 6 and 14, you will see that the word "time" in prophecy simply means a year.

Hence seven "times" would be "seven years," each containing twelve day months — or a total of days 7x12x God was dealing with the Gentiles in Daniel's day. The Gentile king Nebuchadnezzar had been sinning — living contrary to God's law. He had been taking his people on the road to world conquest and the enslavement of other nations and peoples.

He had been traveling the way of war, not of peace. God had sent His warning. The king did not heed. So God punished the nation seven years to D. No punishment like that had ever come on any king before! No nation had ever been so cursed! After these seven years Nebuchadnezzar's mind returned to sanity. He now repented, admitted that his ways were wrong, and actually wrote a great public document admitting before all nations what had happened to him and to his people! After those seven years of punishment, the kingdom of Babylon was given the heart of a man.

The leaders began to think in ways of peace instead of war. The kingdom of Chaldea or Babylon — here symbolized by a ferocious lion — stood "upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given it. King Nebuchadnezzar, because of his sins, was punished seven literal years. At the end of that time he regained his sanity and began for the first time in his life to repent and to give up the ways of war for the way of peace.

As He punished Israel and Judah for seven prophetic "times" — years — so would be the punishment of the Gentiles! God began to punish the nation by cursing their king for seven literal years. There is a Way of Escape. Interestingly there are days in 7 years of days. Hence that also seems to point to the time when the seven-year 'peace deal' of Daniel 9: Then Jesus, the Prince of Peace Isaiah 9: Notice also the following, which shows that the remnant of Israel will be shamed, for a time, by Gentiles but then the Lord will come:.

The time of Gentile domination is prophesied Ezekiel 7: The old Worldwide Church of God taught:. The Arab World in Prophecy. Plain Truth, December , p.

As mentioned earlier, the Great Tribulation itself is further described in Revelation 6: It starts with Matthew Some wonder why the USA would be destroyed. For another, because of short-sighted economic problems, the USA has become the most indebted nation of all time. Also, because of sin, greed, and ignorance, America has been into abortion as well as producing genetically-modified foods. These "foods" are genetically identical which makes them susceptible to total elimination via famine-causing pestilential organisms. I have long suspected that the time will come when some type of pestilence will hit America's genetically-modified grain crops like corn and wreak havoc on the land.

All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies. Notice that "friends" will betray and that Assyria, which is who God will use to punish the certain descendants of Israel, such as the U. Zachary the Armenian published and summarized in This empire of the north…will go to war against North America and North America will be fall and be conquered and brought into bondage. The next phase is the most frightful thing of all. Kramer, What are the missing contents of the third secret?

Fatima Crusader, 95, Summer , pp. Since Zachary is discussing the dominion of the first born son of perdition cf. That is consistent with the understanding of the Philadelphian remnant of the Church of God on these matters though we do not believe that God inspired this Zachary. Anyway, for the final time of the Gentiles to arise, the Gentiles will need to cooperate together against the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies.

Final time of the Gentiles? Destruction will come to the highly indebted suddenly the USA is the most indebted nation of all time:. A plunderer at noonday; I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly. And to him who loads himself with many pledges'?

Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. Armstrong , wrote the following in What is this abomination? Forty-five days later "the beasts armies" will surround Jerusalem. Thirty days later the Great Tribulation will probably start with a nuclear attack on London and Britain--and possibly the same day or immediately after, on the United States and Canadian cities.

At that time a third of the people in our nations will die, or shall have died, by famine and disease epidemics; another third will dies of the war--our cities being destroyed Ezek. Events that resembles nuclear or similar devastation are part of the prophesied curses mentioned in the Bible:. How do we know that the Anglo-nations in general, and the USA in particular, and not just the land of Judea are the initial target of the great tribulation?

The "he" is the final King of the North , the Beast of Revelation The strongest fortresses, by the way, cannot be referring to China or Russia as they do not get involved until verse 44 of Daniel 11 for more details, see King of the North. Nor the Arab lands, which do not get invaded until verses The current nation of Israel, of course, does not have the strongest fortresses. Thus, this is pointing to the Anglo-nations, which currently harbor many in the faithful church.

Much more information on the times of the Gentiles can be found in the article: The Times of the Gentiles. A related sermon is also available and is titled: This is illogical for several reasons. The Bible speaks of a time of great catastrophe, called the "Great Tribulation" Matthew The above contains multiple contradictions. Hence, there are at least three errors in that one sentence that LCG holds to.

In the sequence of Daniel 11, the Great Tribulation begins in verse 39, not verse First is that the late Herbert W. The second reason could be based upon a misunderstanding of a translation of Daniel The above does not make it clear that the King of the North the 'he' in verse 39 is going against the 'strongest fortresses like the NKJV and other translations do. Notice a Jewish translation:. Some seem to believe that the 'time of the end' does not begin until verse 40, but that is a misunderstanding of how the Hebrew text should be understood.

The 'and' in verse 40 is not the start of the end, but a continuation of what began in verse This is known by others. For example, the Barnes Notes on the Bible states:. And at the time of the end The "time of the end" must properly denote the end or consummation of the series of events under consideration, or the matter in hand, and properly and obviously means here the end or consummation of the transactions which had been referred to in the previous part of the vision. It is equivalent to what we should say by expressing it thus: It should be noted that Jesus also called this period the hour of trial and that He promised to protect only the Philadelphia portion of the Church of God from it:.

See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. The Bible also makes it clear that the only ones who will be protected will first 'gather together' Zephaniah 2: For more details and scriptures about the place and who goes, please see There is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. And while some erroneously feel that Revelation 3: When and Where is the Church Protected?

Because of their faithful endurance, Philadelphians are promised protection from the great time of severe trial that will come upon the whole world in the end time Revelation 3: By contrast, Christ rebukes the Church at Laodicea, representing the final era, for its lukewarm spirit. Lacking in zeal, Laodicea is beset by compromise with the world, unaware that it is spiritually impoverished and naked. Because of its attitude, the living Christ will have to spew Laodiceans out of His mouth and right into the Great Tribulation, to wake them up and bring them to ultimate repentance and complete surrender to Him.

Jesus warned us of the Great Tribulation—a time unique in all history Matthew The Great Tribulation begins shortly after the "abomination of desolation" v. This future time of trouble will clearly be a time of intense religious persecution, when all will be forced to conform to false religious practices that will be portrayed as "Christian. There is another aspect of this coming Great Tribulation that is often overlooked. We know that this is identical with the time of which Jesus spoke in Matthew There cannot be two separate times like that!

And notice that they are persecuted by the Beast power and those supporting him. The Laodicean Churches of God have so many prophetic misunderstandings that unless they repent they will NOT know when the Great Tribulation will happen until it is too late--over 30 prophetic errors held by Laodiceans are in the article The Laodicean Church Era. It should be noted that Jesus only taught that the Philadelphians Revelation 3: Notice also what Daniel writes about two coming persecutions that the Beast king will use during this time:.

And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time Daniel 7: There are two times of persecution in those passages. This persecuting Beast king is the final European King of the North. Christians, have been persecuted in the past, and will be in the future--for details check out Persecutions by Church and State.

He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. God wants people everywhere to repent Acts Shortly after the above verses is when the King of the South will be defeated by the King of the North Daniel Also notice the prophecy for this latter time tribulation in the Hebrew scriptures:. Thus, help from God during these hard times will be available to the truly sincere who really strive for it.

To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. First it may be best to read what early supporters of the Greco - Romans taught.

In the third century, Hippolytus wrote:. The Lord also says, "When you shall see the abomination of desolation stand in the holy place whoso reads, let him understand , then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains, and let him which is on the housetop not come down to take his clothes; neither let him which is in the field return back to take anything out of his house.
