7 Purposes of the Tribulation

Daniel 9:24 

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, 

1. to finish the transgression, and 
2. to make an end of sins, and 
3. to make reconciliation for iniquity, and 
4. to bring in everlasting righteousness, and 
5. to seal up the vision and 
6. prophecy, and 
7. to anoint the most Holy.
Daniel 9:24

The Tribulation is the wrath of God. It is not judgment as some are calling it. 

During a judgment from God, a person or group of persons can repent and the judgment will stop. This wrath will not stop and will be continued through to completion to accomplish the above. 

As I have stated before, I have studied the end times extensively. I had around 100 hours invested in end times Bible studies just in 2021. I have diligently sought the Lord for understanding and wisdom. I describe myself not as a person with a lot of answers, but as a person who had a lot of questions and went seeking the answers from the Source. I do not claim to know it all or have it all right, but I know this for certain, there will be a very hard existence, massive persecution, and a continual threat of death for those left behind on the earth. That includes the ones who come to believe in Jesus after the rapture.

While the Church (people who came to faith under the period of grace) will not be present in the Tribulation, the Tribulation saints (people who come to faith during the Tribulation) will not be supernaturally protected. Before one writes to tell me how wrong I am, please go read Revelation.

Revelation 13 tells us the Beast is given authority over the saints. What do you think that this evil being will do with his God-given authority over the Tribulation saints? Revelation 17 talks about the woman being drunk on the blood of the Tribulation saints. Revelation 20 shows us an altar of beheaded saints. The Mark of the Beast is all about sorting out who is on which side. 

The upcoming Tribulation will be an unimaginably horrific time on earth. You do not want to go through it! The Bible has this to say about it: "because it will be a time of great trouble. There will be more trouble than has ever happened since the beginning of the world. And nothing as bad as that will ever happen again. But God has decided to make that terrible time short. If it were not made short, no one would continue living. But God will make that time short to help the people he has chosen." Matthew 24:21-23

Dear Reader, 

If you do not believe in Jesus, I encourage you to call out to Him for salvation right now. Do not delay! If you need to talk to someone, contact me through the email in the header.

If you are a believer, then I encourage you to share the gospel every chance you can. You can share Bible verses, gospel tracts (The cartoon ones have been very effective for our family.), start conversations, give your testimony, support ministries with a strong focus on evangelism, etc. You can share in person or on social media. On platforms, you can make your own posts or leave grace-filled comments that many will see. Join in the harvest instead of sitting idly by. 

The Rapture of the Church is imminent. Imminent means it is the next expected event. Nothing else has to be accomplished before the Rapture can take place. There are no precursors that must happen. It can happen in the next hour or 10 years from now. The point is that it can happen at any time. This means that right now actively or passively, you are making a choice to be included or excluded in that event. Make a wise choice.

My love to all!
