THERE WILL BE "GREAT WRATH" ON EARTH FOR 1,260 DAYS.......
The following Scriptures tell us that there will be "GREAT WRATH" , ie. GREAT TRIBULATION, on the earth for a period of forty-two months or "1,260 DAYS" BEFORE the Second Coming of the Lord who will END IT according to :
Revelation 12:12
"........Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea ! For the devil has come down unto you HAVING GREAT WRATH because he knows that he has but a SHORT TIME."
Revelation 13:5
".......and power was given to him ( the antichrist ) to CONTINUE FORTY AND TWO MONTHS ( 1,260 days )."
The following Scripture tells us that the Lord's Body of Christ Church is not appointed to suffer any wrath whatsoever according to :
1 Thessalonians 5:9
"For God has NOT APPOINTED us to wrath, but to obtain Salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ."
SO, THE QUESTION IS :
Where is the Lord's Gentile Body of Christ Church during the FORTY-TWO MONTHS or 1, 260 days of WRATH ON EARTH ? That question is answered for us in the following two Scriptures :
Revelation 10:11 & 11:2
".......Thou must prophesy AGAIN before many PEOPLES, and NATIONS, and TONGUES, and kings..........But the court which is without the temple, measure it not for it is given unto the GENTILES
( .i.e., The raptured Lord's Body of Christ Church which is the "great multitude" of "GENTILES" in heaven) , and the ( heavenly ) Holy City shall they tread ( walk ) underfoot FORTY and TWO MONTHS."
SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT:
The ONLY WAY that "GENTILES" get to heaven is by being resurrected / raptured. John had previously prophesied BEFORE, in Revelation 7:9, about this very same group of GENTILES who are the GREAT MULTITUDE in heaven who are the Lord's raptured Body of Christ Church. Therefore, His Church is present in heaven for the VERY SAME FORTY-TWO MONTHS or 1,260 days that Satan and his wrath have authority on earth. Satan is cast down to earth AT THE SAME TIME , ie. THE SAME DAY, that the Church is resurrected / raptured to heaven so never the twain shall meet.
According to Your Holy Word , come Lord Jesus !
