Summary: A description of the People in the Tribulation, the Purpose of it, the Process of it and the Plan of God NOW in place to prevent us having to endure it.
Just after the Rapture, there exists a state of confusion on earth...many have been "caught up" and
those left behind are bewildered. Into this mass confusion enters a person promising Peace, Safety
and a Solace for the confusion.(ANTICHRIST)..HE WILL BE ACCEPTED W0RLDWIDE, AND ONCE HE GETS HIS POSITION OF POWER SECURED, HE WILL TURN ON THE PEOPLE....AND GOD
WILL ALLOW GREAT DISTRESS TO FALL UPON THOSE REMAINING.
LET US LOOK AT THE TRIBULATION:
I. THE PEOPLE IN IT:
A. Those left behind in the rapture..the lost
the wicked, the abominable, those who refused
to receive Jesus.
B. Jews who refused to receive Jesus.
II.THE PURPOSE OF IT:
A. To bring retribution and punishment to those
who refused to submit to God.
B. To give the Jews a chance to repent and come
to Jesus Christ
III. THE PROCESS OF IT: (sEE reVELATION CH’S 5-19)
Summarizing, the events will be so catastrophic
that some will repent...but others will blame
God and remain in rebellion.
The seven seals, bowls of wrath, trumpets,
etc (see Revelation) will cause MAJOR
catastrophies on earth...like never before seen!
(affecting: food supply, water supply, land
and sea life, commerce, health, natural elements
etc. EVERYTHING WILL BE CHAOTIC!)
IV. THE PLAN GOD HAS FOR PREVENTING ANYONE FROM
GOING THROUGH IT;
A. no one has to go through the great tribulation!
B. JESUS SAYS "COME UNTO ME, BELIEVE IN ME,
RECEIVE ME, ABIDE IN ME, FOLLOW ME, RELY ON
ME,,,TRUST ME!!!"
C. IF we CONFESS OUR SIN, CALL UPON JESUS
AND COMMIT OUR LIVES TO HIM...WE WILL BE
"CAUGHT UP" TO BE WITH JESUS BEFORE THIS
TERRIBLE TIME COMES ON EARTH.
("AIN’T THAT GOOD NEWS????)
INVITATION:
1. ARE YOU SAVED? receive Jesus NOW!!
2. Do you want your loved ones to experience the
tribulation? If NOT..THEN WITNESS TO THEM NOW!!!
BEG PLEAD AND DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THEM
TO SEE THEIR NEED FOR JESUS CHRIST WHILE THE
OPPORTUNITY IS STILL AVAILABLE.
