TRIBULATION
Mankind is good and evil, the evil side is more times than not the easiest to follow. The evil side will lead us down a road to destruction.
2 Corinthians 10:5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the
knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;
The beast is technology that seduces people to wasting time that could be spent with loved ones, friends and most of with God.
Technology drags many down a path to destruction via porno, isolation, desensitized,
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that
leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.
Matthew 7:14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are
they that find it.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are
ravening wolves.
So many believe they understand the next coming of Christ, end times and Tribulation.
The problem is Rapture is not in the Bible it is added by those making a lot of money off their books. Taken up in the air is talking about those who made it through tribulation and meet Jesus in the air to come back for the battle.
Anti-Christ is only talked about in I John and II John and is anything that is not of Christ that could mean religion, a person or people a way of life an idea.
Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be
hated of all the nations for my name's sake.
Matthew 24:10 And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one
another.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray.
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold.
Matthew 24:13 But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
Understand tribulation is not when God pours out His wrath for 7 years and is about God's wrath.
Tribulation means a trail a period to be tested all of mankind from believers to non believers will be tested not by God but by man. God will use this time to bring many to Him. It is a time to get those who are the most stubborn to wake up and know the truth.
How:
When mankind reaches a time as before the flood, mankind will fall to no
morals, evil, and God will find no place for Him in it.
Then at that time God turns man over to man for 3.5 years to see how evil and wrong it is to live under man not God. Many will wake up and be saved many will be persecuted due to belief in God.
Then the second half God has to go a step further He allows Satan, pure evil to rule man, to show man this is not the way.
Then Jesus returns and battles Satan and his, and those who had the mark of the beast and worshipped it will be killed those left will have 1000 years to live to finally get it right then Satan is let lose one last time. Satan tempts those he can, all who are not of God will be cast into Hell and Hell in the lake of Fire. Satan will also be cast in the end into the lake of fire.
Hell is not fire, it will be cast into the lake of fire those in hell are those who prefer not to worship God, but would rather suffer in Hell (being without God is suffering) than worship God.
The rest go on to the next life on the new earth.
Here is the problem is most think this life is it and think this is all there is even believers.
Once you realize that there are three steps to the true life.
1. Womb were you are created male or female and the only way to enter this live.
2. Where we grow and learn the truth or not.
3. The one true life the one with no end the one we all seek.
All this life is, is like school in this life. Most students in school today think they are immortal, no it all and are wise enough. But as we get older we realize true wisdom and knowledge comes with age. And in the next life we will discover that all we thought we knew in this life is like a College Graduate vs. a 1st grader. The 1st grader could not even in any way comprehend what the College Graduate knows.
The problem is we are warned by Jesus in Matthew 7 and again in Matthew 24 that many ( this is not a few but most) are mislead by false christs, false prophets (teachers).
What being of Christ about:
1. Believing in God.
2. Believing God's Promises.
3. Seeking God's righteousness.
4. Loving God with all your heart and mind.
5. Loving your neighbor as you love yourself.
Ask this about tribulation who are those that are killed in the name of Christ if those of Christ are removed.
Antichrist is a form of believe that today more and more believe, it is many things but as far as there being a main Antichrist who brings peace and is son of Satan, well there is no proof of that in the word. And the problem is many being mislead by it being a man will not see the truth when it happens or as it is happening.
Antichrist has to grow and that is in man not in a man, following the beast as I believe technology. No technology is not evil it is how we use it that makes it evil. Splitting the atom could have gone just for developing energy but it was developed to destroy instead.
To avoid all issues of evil, antichrist, to make it to the end follow what Jesus said in Revelation 3:19-22. Love God with all your heart, love your neighbor. To do this means of course you believe in God, and that you already have sought Him.
When will the end come, it could be tomorrow or in thousand years.
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither
the Son, but the Father only.
You love the person, not the actions or acts of the person.
What will mislead most is the rapture not happen, and when God's wrath does not happen till the end of Tribulation.
Abomination of Desolation is a clone with no soul, abomination is something developed in the lab by technology and desolation is that without a soul.
