THE GREAT TRIBULATION

"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" Matthew 24:21.

Immediately after the occurrence of THE RAPTURE, the sinners and the careless Believers that will remained on the Earth surface will take part in the GREAT TRIBULATION, which is reffered to as Jacob's Trouble. There will be confusion for them, they will begin to lament and regret due to the sin that made them to come short of the Glory of God, there shall be gnashing of teeth.

The Great Tribulation will be ruled and Governed by The Beast popularly known as the Antichrist_ for a period of Seven years. Under the empowerment of Satan, i.e Satan (the Dragon) will be the one to empower the beast.

In the first half of the Seven years (the first Three and half year) the Antichrist will solicit and implore that people should receive the mark of the Beast (666) in their Forehead or in their right hand. Behold, this first half will be peaceful and prosperous.

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads" Revelation 13:16

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six" Revelation 13:18.

In the second half of the Seven years (the last three and half year) the Antichrist will show his real personality, he will enforce everyone to receive the mark and to bow down to worship him and his image, there will be limit to the access of buying and selling for only those who will not receive the mark (666) "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" Revelation 13:17

In this period, there will be pain, torment, anguish, calamities and casualties for those who will not receive the mark because the Devil will torment them bitterly. Meanwhile, those who will receive the mark shall be damned forever and shall dwell with The Devil in hell fire for eternity. "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name" Revelation 14:9-11

While all these atrocities will be happening on Earth at that time, The Raptured Saints will have a MARRIAGE SUPPER with Christ in Heaven_ dinning and winning with Christ the Groom. Oh how Joyous, Splendid and Peaceful it will be then. "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready, And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints" REVELATION 19:7,8.

At the end of the Great Tribulation (which will last for Seven years). Christ will come to the Earth with all the Raptured Saints (which is referred to as The Second Coming of Christ) to take those that did not receive the mark of the Beast, neither worshiped him nor his image (The Great Tribulation Saints) "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years" Revelation 20:4. (THE MILLENNIUM REIGN OF CHRIST will take on the Earth after the Second Coming of Christ and The Great Tribulation)

Behold, those who will partake in The Great Tribulation without receiving the mark will experience so much suffering and pain, some shall be beheaded, some will have their eyes plucked out with a Hot metal, some will have their teeth broken off, some shall be killed_ using their own blood for the remission of their sins.To be frank, do you think it is possible for an Human being to endure all these sufferings and pains for Three and half years for the sake of not receiving the mark? Just Imagine the pain such human will go through for the purpose of not receiving the mark of the Beast. Reason it!!!

Do you want to Redeem yourself from you sins? Do you want to go through the pains? Christ had suffered it on the Cross of Calvary, all your burdens had been nailed to the Cross, you can only be Redeemed without going through any pain_ by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour_ confess your sins today_ for He is ready to give heed to your petitions_ forsake your sins_ promise Him you will never return to your vomit (SIN)_ tell Him to Grant you the Grace to continue to the end.

Praise the Lord, you have just been set free from the shackles of the Devil, CONTINUE in the Grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

STAY BLESSED
