The Unveiling Series

He says here that He Is the Alpha and Omega. They are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. He Is the beginning and ending of everything. He sums up everything in Himself from the start of creation to the finish of this planet.

He Is Almighty God. The book of Amos chapter 4, greatly points out our Lord Jesus’ Omnipotence.

“13 For behold, He who forms mountains, and creates the wind, Who declares to man what his thought is, and makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high places of the earth— The LORD God of hosts is His name.”

9 I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

Please notice a key thing in verse 9. A lot of people are planning for a 7 year ‘Great Tribulation’ that will come upon planet earth. A lot of people hold on to a theory that we, the church of our Lord Jesus Christ, are going to be snatch away from this earth before this tribulation begins. John, however, is saying here as our brother, is a partaker with us in the tribulation - 9 I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ

Now some may say, ‘Hey, it doesn’t say the ‘Great Tribulation’. That statement would be correct. But along with that scholars on their own have put together what they think occurs in the “Great Tribulation.”

So what is in the ‘Great Tribulation’. Well, you tell me after I give you every occurrence where the use of the term ‘Great Tribulation’ is used.

Matthew 24: 21 “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.”

Revelation 2: 22 “Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.

Revelation 7: 14 “And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

When we read the book of Revelation we throw all the things that happen to mankind and on the earth and put them under the category of a ‘Great Tribulation’. But as we have read and seen from the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ no such listing. He did say that there will come a time of great tribulation on mankind in its intensity that never occurred before. Is this “Great Tribulation’ emotional or spiritual attacks.
