Featured What will be the cause of the great tribulation?

Why there will be great tribulation? What will be the cause or origin of the appearance of the great tribulation?
The answer is in the Word of God, human opinions in accord the spirit of man which is in him is good for nothing.

The answer of the question is in Daniel 12:v.1 - 1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: ...

It is Michael, the same that was in Sodom, who is with his sharp Sword-God's Word- to pour severe plagues upon the nations ruled by men guided by the spirit of Devil, and they have already started in accord the Word of God.

There will be severe punishments, even against powerful nations- Micah 4:v.3-, yeah, only and only punishments, consequently there will be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever will be.

Be ready. The days will be shortened because there is a deadline to destroy the Devil's world (Revelation 11: v.18) and to close the Dispensation of Grace. He that will endure unto the end, the same will be saved.

Other great happening is determined for this present time. There will be resurrection in this present time, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

 

Very very very good post. The Word is God.

Hoseas prophesied, saying: Hos.8:v.14 - 14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

verse 12 - 12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

verse 13 - 13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the Lord accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. ---> Oh Israel will return to Egypt? Yes, but spiritually Israel has returned to: Hosea 9:v.1 - Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God,.... This prophecy of Hosea brings us a revelation on the why Jerusalem is called now, in the present Dispensation, the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified-Revelation 11:v.8.

Daniel 10:v.14 - 14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the LATTER DAYS: for yet the vision is for many days.
verse 12 - ...but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; ...
verse 20 - Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come. ---> We are commeting the happenings of the LATTER DAYS, THE LAST DAYS, so we MUST understanding or discerning that to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come, these two strong ENEMIES are TWO BEASTS, the Beast of Sea-Revelation 13:v.1=-10, and the Beast of the earth - Revelation 13:v.11-18. And the Beast of sea will make WAR against the saints( 13:v.5), but FIRST one of his 7 heads will be wounded to death.Revelation 13:v.3

21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

 

The verse above makes us to remember of the Ark and the days of Noah. As in the days of Noah were, is also now in the coming of JESUS, it means that as in the days that were BEFORE the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, and knew not that the door of the Ark was shut, and the flood came and took them all away; so also now in the coming of the LORD Jesus, the door is already shut by the MASTER of the house BEFORE His coming, as the door of the Ark that God shut it BEFORE the flood, many will seek to enter in, and shall not be able, and then will be revealed who is in and who is out of the Kingdom of God. The parable of the ten virgins is very important to be remembered, after all we are in the time of its LITERAL fulfilment. The believer MUST meditate this and wake up, and remaining awaked.

 

28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come-Luke 20:v.35-36 -the Kingdom of God- eternal life.

 

Daniel 12:v.6-13
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters...(waters are peoples, and nations, and multitudes, and tongues), How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

11 And from the time that the ...abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. -->1290 days -> 3 years and 7 months - this is the 2nd period of the last week<--

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. -->1335 days or 45 days after the end of the AD. --> In my vision, this day 1335 is very very significative, it is the great day of the appearance of our LORD Jesus Christ, based mainly in 1Thessalonians 4:v.15-16 combined with 1Corinthians 16:v.24-26, and 2Thessalonians 1:v.7-12 <--- And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.-Revelation 22:v.17.
Amen

 

Matthew 21:v.42-46
42 Jesus said unto the Jews: Did ye never read in the scriptures, The STONE which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

44 And whosoever shall fall on this STONE shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to POWDER.

45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

46 But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitude, because they took Him for a prophet.

Isaiah 28:v.17-22 - Continuation of above you have posted

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do His work, His STRANGE WORK; and bring to pass His act, His STRANGE act.

22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even DETERMINED upon the WHOLE EARTH.

 

Ephesians 1:v.3-5 says:
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY PLACES-celestial environments- in Christ:(for example the second Covenant or the New Testament is an heavenly place in Christ created by the Most High God, in whose heaven have lived the God's people in these last 2000 years, the Christian people. By the way, the second Covenant-second heaven or 2nd heavenly place- is much more higher than the first Covenant, the Old Testament)

4 According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

6 To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved. (Beloved? read Songs of Solomon 5:v.5-10 about the Church and her beloved).

That said, we can understand better the battle against the Dragon and his Ministers in heavenly places (2Corinthians 11:v.13-15), knowing that the body of the Dragon-or the "spiritual" church of the Dragon- has three parts: 7 heads, and 10 horns, and a TAIL, actually a religious or a spiritual MONSTER that dwell in the present heavenly place where we are serving our LORD yet. Are you ready for this battle? I hope so.

I will come back later to continue this commentary about your important post.

Have a peaceful night

God bless

 

Yes, there is a struggle between God and Satan since the beginning. Satan, a former Cherub and a former ruler of the Garden of Eden, was cursed by the Almighty God-Gen.3:v.14-, since the beginning the old serpent is in intense conflict with God as we can see from Genesis to the book of Revelation. In fact, it is not easy to fight against Satan and his messengers, his ministers(2Cor.11:v.13-15), because they are knowledgeable about the Holy Scriptures, they are well formed scholarly. A legion of teologians occupy important positions within Ministries of the churches, as apostles, or Pastors, or Bishops, Evangelists, and so on-(2Cor.11:v.13-15), they has a name that they livest, and are dead (Rev.3:v.1). In the Roman Catholic Church, a pseudo-Christian Church, they exercise functions as a priest, bishop, cardinal, pope, etc., all of them work for the kingdom of Devil, but they claim in their beliefs, and in their doctrines, that they believe in God, and in JESUS, and in the Holy Spirit, and in the Apostles of our LORD JESUS Christ, and so on. Terrible, very terrible.

The worse will be the appearance of Satan transfigured as a lamb-Revelation 13:v.11-, as a messiah, a false messiah,AN IMPOSTER. By the way, this is the last title he will assume now in the end of the times-(2Thes.2)

The most important now is to identify who is a true Christian and who is a false Christian, the tares. In fact the work is/will be hard, and with much fight, because these demons will show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect, but they, the tares, will be gathered and will be burned with everlasting fire now, and Satan will be chained and cast into the bottomless pit.

The body of Satan, I would say -church of Satan-, is formed in three parts: 7 heads, 10 horns and a tail. Our battle in to defeat the 7 heads of the Dragon is more easy than to defeat his TAIL, it is by the TAIL that Satan deceives or tries to deceive the true believers due their knowledge of Scriptures. The 10 horns of the Dragon, they are of the Jewish people, and they will be guided and ruled by the false messiah, AN IMPOSTOR-John 5:v.43.

The time is of harvest, and the reapers must manifest themselves, fighting for the Kingdom of God-Revelation 11:v.15 and 12:v.7-17. Confirming the souls of the true believers, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 14:v.22

May our LORD God bless and keep us, and give us His protection
Amen

 

Isaiah 13:v.9-11 -
9 Behold, the Day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. - Aleluiaaaaa!

2Thes.1:v.7-10 says:
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven (heaven?Ephesians1:v.3) with his mighty messengers,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that Day. (this Day arrived, that is the seventh and last Day, or Lord's Day, or yet seventh and last millennium, the millennium of Christ, the millennium of Vengeance, the millennium of Judgment, the Judgment Seat of Christ-Rom.14:v.10)

Revelation 11:v.15-18 combined with Daniel 12:v.1-3
15 And the seventh angel sounded (Daniel 12:v.1-3 combined with 1Thes.4:v.13-16) ; and there were great voices in heaven(heaven?Ephesians 1:v.3), saying, The kingdoms of THIS WORLD(world of Devil) are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, (the names of these 24 elders are all of the Old Testament)

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry(all nations, include Israel with its false messiah, an IMPOSTER-John 5:v.43), and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be Judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great(Micah 4:v.1); and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Daniel 12:v.1-31 And at that time (the time is now) shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble (due the plagues, and War, and Judgments), such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time (the time is now) thy people shall be delivered (144000-Rev.7), every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake(there will be resurrection-1Thes.4:v.13-16) some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Matthew 5:v.5 - JESUS said: Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Revelation 7:v.1-4 - The remnant of Israel - the earth-the dry land
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Revelation 7:v.9-10 - Gentile peoples exclusively
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations(Gentile nations), and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Blessing, and Glory, and Wisdom, and Thanksgiving, and Honour, and Power, and Might, be unto our God for ever and ever.
Amen.
