"Scriptural confirmation of what happens to the children before the
 Great Tribulation starts
"

Hi 5 Doves

I have found Old Testament scripture (Smoking Gun) which supports my previous post dated from Jan 14, 2009 in which I revealed that Dan 11:22 (NIV) gives reference to what is going to be the fate of the little children as the Church Age Ends. The Old Testament scripture which supports this can be taken from ISAIAH 47:9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. The entire chapter of ISAIAH 47 is in reference to the daughter of Babylon (modern day USA) and it predicts the unforeseen catastrophe that brings sudden disaster upon the queen of kingdoms (modern day USA). The event rapidly approaching the USA timeline is mentioned in verse 9 “But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood:” and I believe these two aspects agree with my Paraphrasing Dan 11:22 (NIV) (read from my Jan 14 post below).  There is big trouble ahead for America, but the little children will be saved by the Lord!!!

"What happens to the Children? Can the rapture hidden in Dan 11:22
 be connected to Matt 19:14?
"


Hi 5 Doves

I always wondered what deeper meaning Jesus wanted us to ascertain from Matt 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (God is about to show the world that the burdens that were inflicted upon the Egyptians was child’s play)

Dan 11:22 (NIV) Then an overwhelming army will be swept away before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed.

Paraphrasing Dan 11:22 (NIV): Then a very great multitude will be quickly removed before he is revealed, (as the Antichrist-AC) and the Church Age headed by Jesus Christ will be ended (This unimaginable supernatural act will be felt world-wide in 2009 and initially a state of mass panic results after this traumatic event, however remaining Christians will realize that this occurrence spearheads a Great Spiritual Awakening as this eagerly awaited Day of Redemption among wise Christians [revealed in Matt 24 and 25] triggers all the apocalyptic events which are documented in prophetic scripture for this will be a time of great anguish which will thrust the world into complete turmoil, but the remaining Christian community must mediate upon the details from the Books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Habakkuk and Revelation. Unfortunately, the period after this great spiritual event occurs leads to a Depression period and civil protest will be intensified as conditions worsen and using deceptive tactics and insincere smooth talk the AC will take advantage of the situation by dispatching military forces into the cities to prevent and halt lawlessness, protesting, and terrorism during this great global crisis period). 

What is meant by a very great multitude?

Reasoning Example: Consider that there are about 330,000 churches in the US and about 5 persons /church (few wise) will be taken during the 1st harvest which totals ~ 1.65 million people well this represents a multitude, but not a great multitude and definitely not a very great multitude.  As I watched the causalities among children start to amass during the Hamas and Israel conflict, the spirit gave me comfort in knowing that the children will be shielded from the great tribulation and taken to heaven, because God has a compassionate heart (remember the bible story of Jonah).  Soon my thoughts mediated to Matt 19:14 and I realized that if the children are taken from around the world with the few wise Christians (Matt 24:40-41) mixed in that this event will undoubtedly trigger a world-wide collapse, thus the great tribulation.  Imagine the level of hatred and resentment that the unsaved non-Christian majority of the world’s population is going to direct towards the Christian community due to this Great Spiritual Awakening event.  For they will reason among themselves (I bet the AC will be the main instigator): as to how can a group of people (Christians) worship such a God that takes all their little ones away in the twinkling of an eye (mess with someone’s kids and see how insane and irate they can become). Make no mistake, this rapture event is not going to be a beam me up Scotty affair, because according to 1Cor 15:50 “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;” and this verse implies to me that only the soul and spirit will depart or be taken from the physical body (the good news is that this happens in the twinkling of an eye, meaning it will be painless). Think about the anguish that this is going to bring around the world and the humanitarian crisis that this will present in deposing of the bodies to prevent pestilences (diseases).  

Finally, this event along with the other apocalyptic events will cause Christians to become public enemy #1 in the world, because man is bent on resisting God’s divine authority (God is about to overthrow man’s worldly system because the level of corruption is way out of hand). I pray that my family and friends are not left behind and have to suffer through the tribulation period for there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now, for the kingdom of God is at hand. 

Just adding my 2 cents
