In order to be a helps to prepare the BODY of CHRIST for the
EVENTS surrounding the GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD, I felt it would be
important that we know the DIFFERENCE between “ GOD’S WRATH” and “SATAN’S
WRATH’.
REMAIN FAITHFUL dear saints for The LORD is FAITHFUL to those
HE LOVES and THOSE that LOVE HIM.
But so many are UNPREPARED for what is to come. And I fear that they will be discouraged and
disappointed, because they are going to wake up TOO late to understand that
they have misunderstood what it means to ENDURE until the end.
What may APPEAR to be many that the LORD wasn’t faithful will
be a time of trouble that is known as SATAN’S wrath.
LET
US NOT get DISCOURAGE or LOSE HOPE, for though the flesh shall pass away, the
GLORY to come is TRULY GLORIOUS!!!
And HE opened the FIFTH SEAL:
REV 6: 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was
said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants
also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be
fulfilled.
REV 19: 16 And he hath on
[his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS
SATAN’S
WRATH—will be poured out during the period of time known as
“THE GREAT TRIBULATION” and
last for a period of time of 3 ½ years in which SATAN/DRAGON pursues the SAINTS
of GOD for the purpose of TEMPTING, STEALING, and KILLING THEM. SATAN could not stop CHRIST, thus he is
attempting to STEAL the BLESSINGS of the saints to prevent them from ruling and
reigning in his position of authority, under CHRIST, over the earth. IE: we
take his garments away.. REV 21: 19
GOD’S
WRATH “THE DAY OF THE LORD”—which is
HIS WRATH and ANGER poured out during a period of time in order to CLEANSE and
PURIFY the EARTH of wickedness and those that have REJECTED HIS PLAN of
SALVATION. HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. The DAY
OF THE LORD, begins at the 7th seal of Revelations.
Please allow me to begin this to assure you that the ONLY thing
that is protecting your life right now, is the HEDGE OF GOD PROTECTION over your
life.
Once that hedge is removed for “ANY REASON” you are PHYSICALLY susceptible
to the one in “authority over the EARTH” for the purpose of CHASTISMENT, PURIFYING
and TESTING, that you might be found faithful and CONFORMED into the IMAGE OF
CHRIST.
WILL YOU ENDURE UNTIL THE END, as CHRIST DID?
PRAY, as INDIVIDUAL’S,
for your own PURIFICATION and for the HEDGE of the LORD to remain over
YOUR LIFE and the LIFE of your LOVED ones.
The concept of “TRIBULATION” is expressed by various
words, in the OLD and NEW TESTIMENT.
TRIBULATION: could be translated as Distress, trouble, dire
straits, etc.
TRIBULATION, typically occurs in the life of GOD’S people
because of their UNFAITHFULNESS or for the purpose of CONFORMITY to the IMAGE
of CHRIST.
This can cause the HEDGE of protection, and removal of
GOD’S BLESSING, upon the life of the saint.
LET us use an OLD TESTIMENT EVENT to draw an understanding of
TRIBULATION:
OBA 1: 14
Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off
those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of
his that did remain in the day of distress 6869. IE tribulation.
DISTRESS, TROUBLE, TRIBULATION, ADVERSARY all come from the
same
Female noun 6869 tsarah
1) straits, distress, trouble
2) vexer, rival wife
FEMALE ADVISORY,
enemy, rival
IE: An affection for someone or
something other than “OUR FIRST LOVE”
The WORD in Daniel 12: 1 was
translated as “TROUBLE”, though could have just as easily been translated ie: DISTRESS, TRIBULATION, “ADVERSARY”.
Who is your ADVERSARY?
It was not meant to mean.. THE DAY
OF THE LORD.
DANIEL 12: 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 trouble6869, such as never was since
there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall
be delivered , every one that shall be found written in the book.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In
order to get the TRUE TIMING of the part of the PROPHECY “SHALL BE DELIVERED” we must look
carefully through the NEW TESTIMENT..
“PRECEPT upon PRECEPT”
However, what Daniel does tell us about this “TIME” is
it will be a time in which we have NEVER witnessed since before there was a
NATION.
REV 7: 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou
knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation/2347,
and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
BROTHERS and SISTER you have to be IN SOMETHING to
come OUT of it.
LET’s take a closer look at the words GREAT and
TRIBULATION from the NEW TESTIMENT:
GREAT megas
d) used of intensity and its degrees: with great
effort, of the affections and emotions of the mind, of natural events
powerfully affecting the senses: violent, mighty, strong
2. persons, eminent for ability, virtue, authority,
power
b) things esteemed highly for their
importance: of great moment, of great weight, importance
2347
TRIBULATION
1) a pressing, pressing together,
pressure
2) metaph. oppression, affliction,
tribulation, distress, straits
AV tribulation 21, affliction 17, trouble 3, anguish 1, persecution 1, burdened1, to be afflicted + 1
IF you put these TWO words
together. You truly begin to understand that this PERIOD of TIME will be like
no other.
For the one of IMPORATANCE will
have great POWER and AUTORITY to create TRIBULATION, distress, straits, in the
LIFE of the ONE he is PURSUING..
NOW we must explore the TIMING of this “GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD” and UPON WHOM this “tribulation, trouble and
affliction is upon:
A> WHO IS THE ONE IN AUTHORITY
during this period:
REV 13: 5 And there
was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was
given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.
YOU must ask yourself.. WHO is this LITTLE
HORN, one in AUTHORITY, persecuting and
pursuing for 3 ½ years?
Answer: >>>>THE
SAINTS<<<<<<
REV 13: 7 And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints,
and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations.
REV 12: 12 Therefore rejoice, [ye]
heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the
sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath
but a short time.
A time of SATAN’S WRATH:
1) passion, angry, heat, anger
forthwith boiling up and soon subsiding again
2) glow, ardour, the wine of
passion, inflaming wine (which either drives the drinker mad or kills him with
its strength)
; A TIME REFERENCE to the
EVENT:
REV 12: 14 gives us a TIME reverence to this EVENT of
SATAN’S WRATH: A period of 3 ½ years that he will PERSECUTE the saints.
REV 12: 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a
great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she
is nourished for a time, and
times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
3
and ½ years the WOMAN was nourished and hidden.
CONSIDER
this scripture carefully:
Who does the DRAGON
go off to pursue and persecute for this period of time?
Answer: the SAINTS of JESUS CHRIST…
REV
12: 16 And the dragon
was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ.
MORE
EVIDENCE that the SAINTS will be present during the PERIOD known as “SATAN’S
WRATH”.
C. THE
“DAY OF THE LORD” comes AFTER this PERIOD KNOWN as the GREAT TRIBULATION.
Matt 24: 21 For then shall be great tribulation/distress/trouble 2347 , such as
was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
MATT 24: 19 Immediately >>>>; after the tribulation/distress/trouble 2347 of those
days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars
shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Matt 24: 30 And >>>then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the
earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
Matt 24: 31 And he shall send his
angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his
elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
REFERENCE that back to REV 6: 13
REV 6: 12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth
seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and
the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD
is NOT the same as THE DAY OF GOD’S WRATH, in which HE pours out HIS
punishment and ANGER upon a ‘WICKED and unrepentant world, the condemned”.
It is NOT until the 6th seal that the
SAINTS are “CAUGHT UP to meet the LORD”.
“BEFORE
the DAY OF GOD’S WRATH/ANGER begins at the 7th SEAL”
REV 6: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
DAY OF WRATH, ANGER VENGENCE, INDIGNATION, exhibited in
punishment
ORGE’
WRATH and ANGER, VENGENCE
1) anger, the natural disposition, temper, character
3) anger, wrath, indignation
4) anger exhibited in punishment, hence used for punishment itself
a) of punishments inflicted by magistrates
As bad as the GREAT TRIBULATION may be, IT shall be
NOTHING like the DAY of GOD’S WRATH or DAY OF ANGER.
The time of GOD’S WRATH is a time of CLEANSING and
PURIFYING the EARTH, and dealing primarily with ISRAEL
and JERUSALEM
___________________________________________________________
Scripture references to consider:
This is a reverence to GOD’S people being present
during the time of SATAN’S >>>Wrath of Satan, before the LORD’S
RETURN.
The PEOPLE of GOD are to hide themselves UNTIL that
passing of SATAN’S WRATH.
Is 26: 20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the
doors behind
you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.
The DAY OF THE LORD.
Is 26: 21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to
punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the
blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer
Blessings towards you and I pray
this will be helpful
donna
REV 20; 4 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
