"REPLY TO FAY:  Jesus Is Not Physically Present On Earth During The Great Tribulation"


This is in reply to your 8/11 post Donna Danna re the White Horse Rider (fivedoves.com) in which you stated the following:

"Continuing from the scene in Revelation 5, Jesus has been made THE KING - THE BOSS of the scroll of judgement. He rides out to CONQUER.  With this, He rides out to conquer the evil ones. The entire purpose of the great tribulation is the great war between good and evil. A bloody and violent war. Without LORD Jesus fighting this on earth - WITH the people - there would be no winning this war. The physical presence of Jesus, on the earth during the great tribulation, is vital.  He would not leave the left-behinder's without defence - without His presence. After all - satan is now thrown to earth and is wreaking havoc. Would our loving LORD allow satan to wield his power upon helpless humans, without our LORD Jesus?  I believe not."

(MY REPLY: Jesus is not physically present on Earth during the 1,260 days of great tribulation until the end of it.  Please reread Matthew 24:21-27, and pay particular attention to verses 23 & 26 which I have highlighted below in bold print.  And then read Mark 13:14-27, and pay particular attention to verses 21 which I have highlighted in bold print.)

Matthew 24: 21-27, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it notFor there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Mark 13:14, "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him notFor false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven."
