Hi Tina,

What a cool catch with Psalm 81. Wonderful. Your post linked below.

Tina - I don't know about the 7 years of the Holocaust being the tribulation period. I simply don't know. I pray for answers. All I know is that the Jewish people had to suffer through 7 years of murderous butchery before they were allowed back into the Holy Land in 1948. I ask how these 7 years fit into prophecy? It's clear that the Jewish people were being punished and tested before they could realise their dream of regathering in Israel. They not only lost loved ones - they were torn from their children. They were starved, beaten and worked to death. They were herded into gas ovens or made to stand over large ditches - which they were forced to dig themselves - so that they would fall into the same ditches once they were shot by the Nazi butchers. They lost all human dignity and any wealth they may have accumulated in their previous lives. They were literally stripped bare before being allowed to limp back into the Holy Land. Mere shadows of their former selves. I can not see how these terrible years are not part of the final story.

I do know, from scripture, that the Ezekiel 38 war brings on the wrath of God. From Ezekiel 38:19 onwards to the end, it's clear that this war kicks off the wrath of God. And that wrath brings Great Tribulation to the earth. Believers are NOT appointed to wrath. It couldn't be clearer. I believe that there will be few people left after this war. This is because the entire earth gets judged and punished because of this war. Mountains will fall and walls will crumble. There will be plague and bloodshed. Rain and hailstones. Burning sulphur. A great earthquake will be felt in Israel. An earthquake so severe that the entire world trembles. The fish in the sea, the birds, the animals - ALL will feel the LORD's presence and extreme rage. I believe this is the same earthquake spoken of in Revelation 6. This EQ sends unbelievers scurrying into underground caves and bunkers.

We are not subject to judgement. We have been forgiven our sins - by the grace of our Lord God Almighty. Who gave His only Son to die for our sins. We will NOT go through the fiery judgements coming upon the earth. For the whole earth will come under judgement and wrath in the Ezekiel 38 war. Not just Israel. This is a world-wide event.

The rest of the book of Revelation is all about the horrors of the Great Trib. It's hard to believe, but there will be people who will still refuse to give up their false idols, no matter how much they get hammered. For it is Almighty God's will that none are lost. The AC will have control and he will be a visibly evil man. A vile man. Any who choose to worship the AC and go along with his agenda have got something seriously wrong with them!!

I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and I pray that we all meet soon.

In Jesus' beloved Name.
