Here is the short but thorough answer from God\u2019s prophet on why the seven-year period we term the \u201cTribulation\u201d is coming:<\/p>\n

\u201cBut these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.\u00a0Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.\u00a0These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds\u00a0they are\u00a0without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;\u00a0Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,\u00a0To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard\u00a0speeches\u00a0which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.\u00a0These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling\u00a0words,\u00a0having men\u2019s persons in admiration because of advantage.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;\u00a0How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.\u00a0These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.\u00a0But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,\u00a0keeping yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life\u201d (Jude 1:10\u201321).<\/em><\/p>\n

This describes all of humanity that fell victim, willfully so, to the serpent\u2019s sly phrase:\u00a0\u201cYea, hath God said?\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam\u2019s unbelief in God\u2019s prescription for living eternally with Him immediately caused all of Adam\u2019s progeny to be infected by the serpent\u2019s deadly venom\u2014the sin virus wrapped up in the \u201cmystery of iniquity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The passage above, given through Jude, describes the absolute depravity of humanity, as America\u2019s founding fathers phrased it in thinking and praying about forming the United States of America. The founders recognized it for what it is\u2014absolute rebellion of humankind and the need to bring that sin-sickness under governance. That\u2019s why most of them agreed to use the\u00a0term \u201cCreator\u201d\u00a0<\/em>to indicate what that governance must take place under.<\/p>\n

Jude frames why a time will come when all this rebellion, though governed to some extent by law under human government, must be completely destroyed\u2014rooted out from humanity\u2019s\u00a0\u201csupernatural DNA,\u201d if that\u2019s the proper term in the matter of the souls of humankind.<\/p>\n

All we have to do is to remember the recent things that continue to plague those who, like the righteous\u00a0<\/em>Lot,\u00a0<\/em>are \u201cvexed\u201d from day to day by the ungodly we live among. We watch as the wicked and rebellious surrounding us just in America murder more than 65 million children in the womb. They seek incessantly to change God\u2019s order. They strive to make us conform to the madness of gender dysphoria. They demand that we validate and embrace their homosexual lifestyles as normal. They legislate and adjudicate in perverted ways parental rights to protect their children against pedophiles\u2014whom they, along with other criminals set free within the\u00a0lawless<\/em>\u00a0system of governing entities, have become.<\/p>\n

We are demanded, through climate-change fanaticism, to worship the creation rather than the Creator\u2014whom, it is more than obvious, they seek to cast off as the God who is in control. As Enoch put it, according to Jude, God will come\u00a0to\u00a0\u201cexecute judgment upon all, and to convince\u00a0all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard\u00a0speeches\u00a0which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Tribulation,\u00a0<\/em>then, is, in part, to punish the anti-God evil and wicked rebels of planet Earth.\u00a0Secondly, but even more importantly, is that the\u00a0Tribulation\u00a0<\/em>is to call out people who will be His for eternity.<\/p>\n

Millions will be saved during this terrible time of God\u2019s wrath and Satan\u2019s rampage against God\u2019s heavenly plan.<\/p>\n

Here is how God will move Heaven and Hell to bring about that ultimate plan of Redemption\u2013to bring both Gentiles and Jewish people into reconciliation with Himself.<\/p>\n

Twenty-one specific Tribulation judgments are scheduled to fall upon rebellious earth dwellers:<\/p>\n

7 Seals Judgments<\/strong><\/p>\n

14) Trumpet Seven: All of the wind-up of chapters 10 through 15 is begun \u2013 10:7<\/p>\n

7 Bowl Judgments<\/strong><\/p>\n

21) Bowl Seven: Greatest earthquake flattens every city\/100-pound hailstones \u2013 Rev. 16:18\u201320.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s anger is righteous, not wicked and evil like that of fallen humankind. He finally must inflict His righteous anger in order to bring a remnant of believers to live with Him forever in never-ending ecstasy in the glory of His presence.<\/p>\n

Before that terrible\u00a0Day of the Lord\u00a0<\/em>begins, Jesus Christ will step onto the clouds of that glorious dimension and shout, \u201cCome up Here!\u201d (Revelation 4:2).<\/p>\n

All who have believed in Jesus will go instantaneously to Him to be kept from the time of God\u2019s wrath upon the earth\u2019s rebels. You want to be part of this group of called-out believers, not among those left behind who will have to go through what Jesus said will be the worst time in all of human history.<\/p>\n

Millions will be saved as believers during that seven years, but most will have to lose their lives\u2014be martyred for their faith.<\/p>\n

Here is how to go to Christ when He calls and avoid being left behind to suffer through the Tribulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation\u201d (Romans 10:9\u201310).<\/em><\/p>\n

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
