TRIBULATIONS AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD

[Alex2165]

TRIBULATIONS AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD


Acts 14.22
22. (Paul) strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith and saying, 'Through many tribulations we must enter the Kingdom of GOD.'

Bible full of the verses indicating that those who follow the Lord GOD and His Commandments in truth and in faith throughout their lives, will inherit the Kingdom of GOD, all are true.

But some statements go much further and into much more details of how some selected Christians entering the Kingdom of GOD and under what conditions and circumstances. This particular verse, as many others similar by their context reveal to us and directly pointed to condition under which some of true Christians will enter the Kingdom.

One of such conditions is suffering. Suffering revealed itself in many different ways and it is impossible to mention all of them here, but example of such suffering very well indicated and written in NT.

Starting from Christ, how He suffered and was neglected, ridiculed, insulted, beaten, and sent to death, very well recorded in all its details.

Suffering of Peter, Paul, and their associates, also very well recorded in NT and set as example for all of us to know that not all Christians will be taken to Heaven, but some have to go through tribulations and forceful death.

Many already convinced themselves that they are already saved and will enter the Kingdom easily and without any problems according to what they already read in the Bible, but this for many will be the false hope.

In most cases the meaning of tribulation is test. Everybody and everything on Earth have to be tested before it put to use, and Christians are not exception. Such notion as: "baptism by fire" (Mark 1.4.8) (Luke 3.16) (John 1.33) (Acts 1.5, 8.36-39) revealed one way of tribulations and testing.

Such words as: "you will be hated" and "endures to the end." (Matthew 10.22, 24.13) (Mark 13.13) (Luke 21.17-19) (John 15.21) reveal perhaps another type of tribulations. All together reveal that persecution of Christians will take many different forms, and they are coming.

So, if Jesus Christ Himself has been tested, what about us then?

 

[Oseas3]

Isaiah 26:20-21
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment (seven years), until the indignation be overpast.

21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Romans 2:6-11
6 GOD will render to every MAN according to his deeds:

7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

11 For there is no respect of persons with GOD.

Revelation 11:15 and 18

15 ... The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

18 And the nations were(will be)angry, and thy wrath(GOD's wrath) is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be Judged(Daniel 12:2. Take a look), and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.

21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,

22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of GOD.

Revelation 11:15-18

15 ...The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. (1Corinthians 15:24-27. Take a look)

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

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, and thy wrath is come(GOD's WRATH), and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.

[Oseas3]

Our Lord JESUS said: Mat.13:30-> In the time of harvest I will say to the reapers,Gather ye together first the tares,and bind them in bundles to burn them:but gather the wheat into my barn.

Do ye not know that the saints shall Judge the world?and if the world shall be Judged by you,are ye unworthy to Judge the smallest matters?Know ye not that we shall Judge angels?(angels of the Churches) 1Corinthians 6:2-3.

By the way,JESUS said more:John 4:36-37:-> 36 He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true,One soweth(JESUS sowed),and another reapeth.

And Daniel prophesied: Dan.7:22&27: -> 22Judgment was (will be)given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom(Revelation 11:15-18.Take a look.).27 And the Kingdom and dominion,and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High,whose Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom,and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Daniel 2:44-47
44And in the days of these kings shall the GOD of heaven set up a Kingdom(Revelation 11:15-18), which shall never be destroyed: and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver,and the gold;the great GOD hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter:and the dream is certain,and the interpretation thereof sure.

46Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face...Of a truth it is, that your GOD is a GOD of gods(Psalms 82:1-2&6-8 and John 10:34-36 combined with Isaiah 41:23),and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets,seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

The Word is GOD, self-executing, understand?

Speaking of John the Baptist, JESUS said:Luke 7:27 - This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

And now? Who will be sent before JESUS's coming? Now is sent Michael-Daniel 12:1-3 combined with 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Revelation 12.

And what is the current mission of Michael in this world of Devil?

Now, now, don't you know?

He will do the same he did in Sodom and Gomorrah, of the same manner as he revealed it to Lot: Remember: He asked to Lot: Has you here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: For we will DESTROY this place(NOW WILL DESTROY THE WORLD AS A WHOLE), because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to DESTROY it.
And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, GET YOU OUT OF THIS PLACE; for the Lord will DESTROY this city (NOW WILL DESTROY THE WORLD AS A WHOLE). But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

11 Seeing then that ALL THESE THINGS shall be DISSOLVED (demolished, yeah, demolished like an old house-Hebrews 8:13, take a look), it is a process and is already running, understand? so what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the Day of GOD (the Lord's Day, the seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium), wherein the heavens being on fire shall be DISSOLVED(demolished, something like the fall of the WTC-Word Trade Center), and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.->the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds(the same cloud of Matthew 17:5, and Acts 1:9, combined with Isaiah 4:5, take a look) to meet the Lord in the air(to meet the Lord in high places in Christ, 3rd heaven, heavenly place-John 14:2-3 combined with 2Corinthians 12:1-4, and Luke 20:35-36): and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Amen

36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

[Oseas3]

It is echoing throughout the four corners of the earth, through all the evangelical movements, believers in JESUS, that the moment of JESUS's coming is very close. In fact, if we compare the time that still leaves for JESUS's return, with the 2000 years that have already passed, we can emphatically state that the time that remains is simply a blink of an eye. So be prepared or get ready.

By the way, on the other hand, as we all know, the Devil, now called the great red Dragon, (Revelation 12:9), he also knows that he has a short time, so the Dragon, and the Beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies -> (the red Dragon through his esoteric and kabbalistic Judaism, and the false Christians of sects and pseudo-evangelical movements called Gospel, and mainly the Roman Catholic Church, a religious MONSTER with 7 heads and 10 horns and the demonic blasphemer), will gather together to make war against us, the people of GOD, so, our battle, or War, will be against three unclean spirits like frogs-Revelation 16:13-15.

Pay attention to verse 15: --> the Lord warned: -> 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Be prepared or get ready.

Before JESUS coming or to appear second time, will manifest the archangel Michael-Daniel 12:1-3 combined with Revelation 12 as a whole, and MAINLY 1 Thessalonians 4:15-16. THE TRUMP OF GOD SHALL SOUND, understand? -->Revelation 11:15-18, reveals the KINGDOM of GOD is established under GOD's WRATH and He will destroy them which destroy the earth as is written, take a look. GOD WARNED by the prophet Isaiah about THESE CURRENT DAYS: ->Isaiah 26:19-21-> 19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall CAST OUT the dead.->As is written in Daniel 12:1-3.

20 Come, my people, ENTER THOU INTO THY CHAMBERS, and SHUT THY DOORS ABOUT THEE: hide THYSELF as it were for a little moment (last week? or only 1260 days?), until the INDIGNATION be overpast.->(as is written in Romans 2:6-11, take a look).

21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of His place to PUNISH the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: (this PUNISHMENT just started by/through the current period of sorrows-Matthew 24:3-8, take a look), AND THE EARTH also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Around two thousand years ago, Peter Apostle prophesied, saying: 2Peter 3:10 --> The Day of the Lord (the seventh and last Day, the Lord's Day) will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away (the 1st and 2nd heavens, the 3rd will be established from now on - Luke 20:35-35 combined with 1Corinthians 15:24-28 and mainly Revelation 11:15-18)) with a GREAT noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat(GOD is a devouring fire -Isaiah 33:10-17 and so on), the earth also and the WORKS that are therein shall be burned up.
