The Last Days and the Second Coming of Christ
Highlights of the Great Tribulation
For then there will be great tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” (Matthew 24:21)
The Great Tribulation is a time of severe judgments on the earth. They are not easy to talk about. The reasons I share them with you is because they are in the word of God, and all God’s words are profitable (2Tim.3:16-17). We don’t want to be like the Joel Osteens of this world and only read the refrigerator verses. All God’s words are true and profitable.
Secondly, they are written to us. Revelation 1:3 promises a special blessing upon those who read, hear and keep the words of that last book in the Bible. I am hoping and praying that these truths will stir us up with zeal for our own repentance and for that of our loved ones.
Thirdly, in Revelation the judgments of the Great Tribulation are directed by the Lamb of God. True, this world is bringing all these things on themselves, but the judgments are from the scroll in the hands of Jesus.
When my oldest daughter was still crawling around on the floor, I came into the living room with an old noisy vacuum cleaner. It sounded like a jet plane taking off. She started frantically crying. I tried to get her attention toward me. “Hey! It’s me, your dad. I would never hurt you or allow anything to hurt you.” I was hoping she would see that the scary thing was coming out of my hands. She didn’t and I had to shut the thing off. What I hope you will see in the highlights of the Great Tribulation is that the judgments are directed by our Savior who loves us, and that you will trust Him in all these things.
These highlights are important because of what Jesus said in Matthew 24:6 & 8. “For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” As we approach the rapture and the great tribulation, these things will become more and more intense and frequent. We don’t know how bad they will get before the rapture happens and the tribulation starts. These judgments are the beginning of sorrows and they will continue as a woman in travail, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman; they’ll increase in intensity and frequency. (1Thes.5:3) We need to be looking for the beginning of these even now... to read more click on the following link... http://www.gracehouseclinton.com/2022/04/the-last-days-and-the-second-coming-of-christ-highlights-of-the-great-tribulation
