Dear Doves,

 

Most Christians do not believe we will be here, as the Church, to see Tribulation.  I do not believe that this is necessarily COMPLETELY true.  While we may not see Tribulation where we are here, “safely tucked away in North America” (if this is where you live), prior to the Rapture, this may not be necessarily true for Israel.  As a matter of fact, I believe Scripture shows that we will indeed see Tribulation, but in the Holy Land of Israel, leading up to the Rapture.  This will be one of our final signs, with the contrast in the two events outlined as follows:

 

Pre-Rapture:  God's "great tribulation" is judgment upon Israel

Post-Rapture:  God's "hour of temptation" is judgment upon world

 

Pre-Rapture:  It is the "time of Jacob's trouble"

Post-Rapture:  It is the time of trouble for the whole world

 

Pre-Rapture:  God's "great tribulation" in Israel will be our greatest sign that Rapture is near

Post-Rapture:  God's "hour of temptation" is 1,260 days long plus whatever (if any) Post-Rapture lead in may be required before the Anti-Christ “steals the throne”

 

Pre-Rapture:  God's "great tribulation' ends at the Rapture

Post-Rapture:  God's "hour of temptation" ends at the 2nd Coming

 

Pre-Rapture:  God's "great tribulation" ends with 6th seal

Post-Rapture:  God's "hour of temptation" begins with 7th seal

 

Pre-Rapture:  God's "great tribulation" ends with Rev 12:10-12

Post-Rapture:  God's 'hour of temptation" begins with Rev 12:10-12

 

Pre-Rapture:  The Lord's Church is on Earth

Post-Rapture:  The Lord's Church is in Heaven

 

Pre-Rapture:  Satan has access to Heaven and the atmosphere

Post-Rapture:  Satan is cast down to Earth

In conclusion, God's Church is on earth to witness the Lord's "great tribulation" of Israel, but is NOT the object of it.  God's "great tribulation" upon Israel affects only a portion of the earth.  With the majority of the world now mostly anti-Semitic, I have no doubt that any such tribulation will be greatly cheered on by the mindless hoards force fed lies by the NWO mass media.

 

This support of Israel’s suffering will only serve to greatly stoke the anger of our Most High God, only our soon removal holding back His building Wrath.  Even the Lord’s Prayer appears to contain a hidden Rapture verse as per Matthew 6:13 saying that those who love Jesus will be removed “just in time” and that we, the Church, should pray we won’t be on this Earth for the Wrath that will follow the Rapture:

 

"Lead us not into (the hour of) TEMPTATION, but deliver (Rapture) us from evil"

 

God's "great tribulation" of Israel appears to be perfectly described in the first four seals in Revelation and is concluded in the 6th seal with our removal.  In other words, the Day of the Lord begins with His "great tribulation” upon Israel as our "sign" to "look up" and "Immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS ......(the Rapture)" (Matthew 24:29-31), and our long-awaited return to our True Home.

Brothers and sisters, are you ready to meet the Lord in the sky?  Repent and believe that grace is by faith alone and can ONLY be attained through Jesus Christ.  Get ready and leave the temptations of this world behind and ready yourself as a Bride.

 

Surely, time is almost up.
