BIBLE PROPHECY - The Tribulation In Detail

THE UNIVERSAL NEWS BROADCAST-Part 17

If you’ve just tuned in, you are listening to a special UNIVERSAL NEWS BROADCAST. We are recapping the major past events, from Israel’s rebirth through the Tribulation and destruction of the world during the Battle of Armageddon.

THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD ASSEMBLE FOR ARMAGEDDON
(The Spirits of Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet Had Gone Forth)

The unclean spirits of devils, that is, the spirits of Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet (like frogs) had gone forth to the kings of the earth to gather and assemble the armies of the world to the battle (or war of the) great day of God Almighty. This was the war of all wars. It was fought in the Valley of Megiddo. This was called the BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.

The armies of the world did not know they were coming to fight against the return of Jesus. Rather, some were fighting against each other for a time.

The Kings of the East, 200,000,000 strong, led by China, were advancing toward Israel.

While all of this took place—A PART OF THE GATHERING OF THE FORCES OF THE WORLD to the place of the Battle of Armageddon in Israel was also beginning.

The Gentiles prepared for war. They prepared to come to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
 There Jesus judged the heathen, but they had no knowledge that this was going to happen.
 The mighty men of war, all over the world, were awakened.
 Their weapons were prepared. They said they were strong. They were confident that nothing could defeat them.
 They were coming to be slaughtered by Jesus Christ and His armies, but none suspected.

NEARING THE END OF THE TRIBULATION,
THE KINGS OF THE EAST ADVANCED
ONE-THIRD OF THE WORLD’S POPULATION WAS KILLED

Before the Rapture, China had been buying Russian military equipment. China had also been making rapid strides in military technology, including space satellites.
 Some technology was a result of their own scientific discoveries.
 China was also involved with very advanced Internet decoding and spying systems.
 Other technology was obtained through hacking and by whatever means needed, whether legally or illegally.
 Regarding China, when it came to military weapons and spying, there were no rules. There were no limits. There were no bounds. China had long considered themselves to be the center of the world and superior to all others.

They were involved in everything from advanced missiles, to space technology and satellites, anti-satellites, stealth technology, new advanced aircraft, plus several types of defensive and offensive weapons.

The end of the second part of the Tribulation, that is, the end of the Great Tribulation was approaching. The end of the last 3 ½ years was in sight.

(The Advance)

China had boasted publicly, even before the Rapture, that they could put forth an army of 200,000,000. China did indeed put together a military of 200,000,000 troops, which included other Kings of the East allied with them.

As the massive army from the Kings of the East went forth, many types of vehicles were included.
 Some were transport vehicles, others were vehicles carrying fuel.
 Some were communication and communication-jamming vehicles, while others were tanks.
Some were missile launchers, while others were specially designed radar and satellite communication vehicles.
 Some were newly designed vehicles with the latest weapons of mass destruction. Their technology and power exceeded even that used between the USA and Russia.

China had nuclear weapons, but they had developed new weapons even beyond that and satellites armed with the latest weapons technology and detection systems.
China had missiles capable of speeds that exceeded 7000 miles an hour, with a nose cone that could resist the heat that was generated.

One might describe one of their vehicles as a newly designed, ultra-advanced, armored vehicle similar to a tank with advanced defensive technology.
They had been developing a system of protecting their war machines by encasing them in a pocket of air.
It also had offensive weaponry that could defeat adversaries a long distance away.

Their weapons may be described as fiery red (or fire, or explosives, or a flame-thrower). They had breastplates of fire.
 Others may be described as JACINTH (or iris blue, or dark blue), or smoke, but also a poisonous gas. This weapon made with ZrSiO 4, was a material or type of crystal with smoke in it.
 Other weapons were yellow like sulfur or brimstone. It could also be a deadly gas.
These all issued forth from the opening on the head of the vehicle.

These all issued forth from the opening on the head of the vehicle.

A Brief Vehicle Description From the Revelation

Tanks had a head with an opening (or mouth) from which their firepower issued.
 The head sat on a body with wheels.
 From these openings on the heads of the vehicles, there came forth both firepower and missiles that hurt many.
 They also had weapons in the rear of their vehicles that injured people.
 In addition, their power or motor was in the rear. Tanks had a driver. Soldiers could ride on them as well as in transport vehicles.

THIS MASSIVE FORCE SET OUT FROM THE EAST

They headed west toward the Euphrates River and then on to Israel.

The army from the east was so large, it stretched beyond the horizons.
 Their advance was protected by satellites watching over them, as well as missiles, aircraft and advanced weapons.
 They had been preparing for this time since before the Rapture had occurred and throughout most of the Tribulation. As they went forth, they seemed invincible.

When one-fourth of the world’s population had died during WW3, it had not affected those from the east as much as it did other parts of the world. With Russia and the US long out of the picture (as they had destroyed each other), China had become the largest and most advanced war machine in the world. They were more advanced than Europe. Their satellites and debris fields in space had neutralized other satellites and even missiles that could oppose them.

The Kings of the East went first to the great river Euphrates. Normally, this great river wound some 1700+ miles southward to the Persian Gulf, and ranged up to about two-thirds of a mile wide. When they arrived, they found the great river dried up. (This was the sixth vial of God.)
This was so that their way would be prepared for them to cross, as they moved onward to Israel.

At a specific hour, day, month, and year, the four angels that had been kept ready and were bound at the great river Euphrates were released.
 Then by these three weapons: the fire, the smoke, and the brimstone—ONE-THIRD OF THE WORLD’S POPULATION WAS KILLED.
 The Tribulation was nearly over. The Battle of Armageddon was ahead.

POPULATION AND NUMBERS

The world population, at the time of the Rapture, was thought to be (plus or minus) seven and one-half billion (7,500,000,000).

When the Rapture came, a very small number of people were taken by the Lord. It was much lower than nearly everyone had thought.
Then, as a result of the Russian and US war, twenty-five percent of the world’s population died.
Also an unknown number were killed for their faith during the first part of the Tribulation.
And millions were beheaded that refused to worship the image of the Antichrist during the second part of the Tribulation.
Others continued to die from famines, various wars around the world, diseases, and from other things.
Then one-third of what was left of the world’s population died, during the time the Kings of the East came to Israel.

DID THE WORLD REPENT?—NO

Despite the severe judgments of God to try and bring the people of the world to repentance, they would not repent.
 Despite the massive military force of the Kings of the East coming toward Israel, they would not repent.
 Despite the fact that one-third of the world’s population had just been killed, they still did not repent.

They would not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshipping demons or devils, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see, or hear, or walk.
They did not repent of their murders, their magic arts, and their use of drugs in connection with the occult. They did not repent of their witchcraft, their sexual immorality, or their use of all sorts of drugs to get a new high, or of their stealing.

THE KINGS OF THE EAST CONTINUED THEIR ADVANCE

(The Second Part of the Advance—From the Euphrates River to Israel)

When this vast military force reached the great Euphrates, their way was no longer being blocked, as the river was drying up.
This was because the two prophets of God had shut off the rain, so it did not rain in Israel and other areas for the previous two plus years. The result was the great river had slowly been drying up—the way of the Kings of the East had opened.

As the Kings of the East advanced toward Israel over the dried up Euphrates River, the opposition they met resulted in one-third of the people of the world being killed.

The Chinese and other nations with them were a great, strong, and mighty people set in battle array. They were men of war, an army such as there never was. There were about 200,000,000 troops. They were like a line of ants that had no end and could not be stopped.
 Their pride was in their numbers and in the might of the most technically advanced weapons the world had ever seen. Many of the advanced weapons they had developed came after the USA and Russia partially destroyed each other.

They traveled toward Israel. A devouring fire went before them. What was left, as they passed through various areas, was a desolate wilderness. Their aircraft leaped over the mountains with a noise like the crackling of a forest fire.

The nations were in anguish at the sight of them.

As they marched, they did not break their ranks. They proceeded straight ahead. As they were confronted with those that tried to stop them, they never broke their formation.

This huge military force from the east drew closer to Israel. Then they entered Israel. Some went toward Jerusalem. Others proceeded toward the area of Megiddo, where the Battle of Armageddon took place.

The Valley of Megiddo—the most advanced weapons in the history of the world were there. The armies of the world were there or were arriving. They had forgotten how the Lord had destroyed the great Russian army. They thought they were invincible.
 They did not understand that they were about to be crushed like grapes.

SUMMARY OF THE VIALS; RELATING TO MOSES AND ELIJAH


THE TWO PROPHETS WERE KILLED


It was about 3 ½ days before the end of the Tribulation.
 Moses and Elijah had been witnessing and prophesying for 1260 days. They had stood for the truth against the lies and deception of the Antichrist and False Prophet. Most of the world had rejected their message.

Many tried to kill them during their 42 months, but none had succeeded. Quite the opposite, all that tried to kill them were themselves killed by fire, even as Elijah had done about 2800 years ago.

The two prophets (or two witnesses) of God had warned the people not to take the mark and not to worship the image.
 They had warned the people to repent.
 They had clearly proclaimed that only through trusting in Jesus the Messiah (and the evidence of trusting was obedience to Jesus and His Word) could a person be saved.
 They had told the people of things that would soon come to pass, including the Battle of Armageddon.
 They had told that Christ was returning to judge the world for sin.
 They had told of the coming 1000 year Kingdom that Jesus Christ would set up, and He would reign and rule as King of kings and Lord of lords.

Some had listened, but most had ignored their warning.
 Most of the world had rejected the message of the two witnesses and chose to believe the lies of the Antichrist and False Prophet.

The two prophets had finished their testimony; their 1260 days were expired.

The Antichrist was then able to kill them, because their time was up.
 Their dead bodies laid in the street of Jerusalem, the SAME PLACE WHERE JESUS CHRIST HAD BEEN CRUCIFIED.  Their bodies were not put into graves, but were left in the street. This revealed the enormous hatred for these two witnesses of God.
 The body of Christ had been put in a tomb, and He was later resurrected. No one actually witnessed it, except the two guards that later lied.
 This time the bodies of Moses and Elijah were left in the open where all could see. It was as if the world wanted to make sure that no one would steal their bodies, and afterward say, they had risen from the dead.

So, all the world, that is, people of all nationalities and languages saw their dead bodies. And when they rose from the dead—all were able to see it.

(Note) This prophecy of the world being able to see these events, even as they happened, could not have taken place much before perhaps 2005.
 The prophecy of people receiving a mark, so they could buy and sell anywhere in the world, was not possible until perhaps after 2010. The technology did not exist.

How was it possible that the people of the world were able to see their dead bodies? The answer was the use of satellites, worldwide communications, television and the use of computers and handheld devices. Through the technology of that age, people could see events—as they happened.

(Note) Outside the Old City wall and outside the Damascus Gate was a large rock formation that resembled a human skull, called Golgotha (meaning Place of a Skull). It could be clearly seen from both the street and on top of the Old City wall.
 This place was outside of the city wall when Christ was crucified, and it was outside the city wall when the two witnesses were killed. However, when the two witnesses were killed, as already indicated, there was also a street there.

A medium-size bus station had been built there.
 In front of the bus station, there was a relatively wide street and across from it, the Old City wall.
 Thus, on one side, was the rock formation (Place of a Skull); and on the opposite side, was the Old City wall. In between, was a street and a bus station. There was also a garden nearby and an empty tomb.

All the world could see that the Antichrist had overcome the two witnesses and killed them.
 This further proved to the world the deception that the Antichrist was really God, and that taking the mark and worshipping the image was the right thing to do.

The world rejoiced and celebrated by giving gifts one to another.
 Their Antichrist had killed the two prophets that had brought many plagues and tormented them greatly for the last 3 ½ years.
 They had shut off the rain; it rained not in the days of their prophecy.
 Now that they were dead, the people of the world probably thought the plagues were over, and the rain would return.


THE TWO PROPHETS COME BACK TO LIFE


For 3 ½ days, the dead bodies of the two prophets remained in the street, even in the place where Jesus Christ had been crucified—as the world celebrated.
 Then, all of a sudden, the seemingly impossible happened.
Precisely 84 hours after Moses and Elijah were killed, the spirit of life from God entered into them, just as prophesied.
 The two witnesses came back to life. The world watched in horror, as they stood upon their feet.
 Then they heard a LOUD and GREAT VOICE from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.”

And the two witness that were dead, and now alive, went up in a cloud, while their enemies watched. People all over the world saw this happen on their handheld devices or other devices.

The laughing and giving of gifts suddenly stopped.
 A deafening silence struck many that saw it, and then fear.

Immediately, some understood that the Antichrist was really of Satan, and they had been deceived. Some now realized they had taken the mark of the Antichrist, and there was no forgiveness—they had committed an unforgivable sin. They could not be forgiven. They were going to perish to hell, and there was no way out. There was no hope.

They were panic-stricken, and some began to scream, “No, no, it isn’t possible!” But it was too late.

The Battle of Armageddon was about to explode and the return of the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, was about to take place. There could be no repentance. It was too late.

The armies of the world were pouring into Israel. They were coming to the Valley of Megiddo, also known as the Valley of Jezreel. They were coming to the Carmel Mountains nearby, the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem. They stretched all the way to Bozrah, which was SE of the Dead Sea. This was the capital of ancient Edom.

THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE #1

(The First of 4 Great Earthquakes,
From the Time of the Two Witnesses to the Lord’s Return)

At that very hour, within minutes of the two witnesses going up into the sky, there was a SEVERE earthquake in Israel.
It was so great that
a tenth of the city of Jerusalem collapsed,
and seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake.

(This broadcast cannot report where the center of the quake was located or of the aftershocks.)

As birth pangs of a woman, these last 4 great earthquakes happened quickly. Each was worst than the previous one. The last one, which was only days away, would see the birth of a new age called the Millennium.

This was the FIRST of four great earthquakes that all happened within days of each other.
 This only added to people’s fears.
 Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet had no power to stop the quake.

All of Jerusalem and nearby areas were shaken. The earthquake could be felt many miles away.
 The Temple Mount shook inside the Old City walls.
 A tenth of the city lay in ruin. Many other structures were also damaged, including those on the Temple Mount. The main building on the Temple Mount was the temple of the Antichrist.

THE SEVEN THUNDERS AND THE LITTLE BOOK

Seven more fearsome judgments occurred in rapid succession, even as seven thunders, regarding the waters and land. It was at the end of the Tribulation.

With the completion of these last judgments, there was no more delay. The time of the Tribulation was no longer. It was over. There was TIME NO LONGER.
 ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE FINISHED (or completed). THE MYSTERY OF GOD was FINISHED. God’s plan was accomplished and brought to completion. The Lord returned shortly after this to take possession of the earth. It was a glorious event, the King of kings was about to return, but the destruction and horrible things yet to happen were very bitter.

The Battle of Armageddon was on the horizon, after which, a new age (the Millennium) began.

The wrath of God had come. The temple of God was about to open in heaven. The ark of His testament or covenant was about to be seen. There were lightnings, voices, thunderings, and an earthquake. Great hail fell. The kings of the earth and their armies had gathered together to battle against the return of Jesus. They had gathered to a place called “Armageddon.” The land was full of silver, gold, and idols.

The Day of the Lord was darkness. Israel was about to be judged at His coming. The heathen were about to be judged at Armageddon.

SODOM AND EGYPT

God had spiritually called the city of Jerusalem, at that time, SODOM AND EGYPT. This reflected its spiritual condition. The ancient city of Sodom had been an extremely wicked city, wholly given over to sin—men with men and women with women, as indeed much of the world had become during the Tribulation, and even before.

EGYPT was the place where God’s people had been in bondage thousands of years ago. As just said, these words reflected Jerusalem’s spiritual condition. Multitudes had denied the true God of heaven and worshipped the image of the beast (the Antichrist). They had taken the mark of the beast. They had completely corrupted themselves. They were spiritually dead. The name “Egypt” reflected their bondage—they were oppressed and were slaves to sin.

The spiritual name of Jerusalem, at that time, was far different than its name during the time we are now broadcasting—that is, during the Millennium.

The Gospel had been preached in all the world.

The people had become slaves to sin, even to every depravity that came into their minds.
 The wickedness of man was great.
 Homosexuality was a way of life to many.  
 Sex with whatever one could imagine was a reality.
 There were no boundaries.
 There were no limitations.
 It was as Sodom and Gomorrah.
 It was as before the flood.
 Every imagination of the thoughts of people’s hearts were only evil continually.
 Violence had filled the earth.
 All the people on earth had corrupted their ways.


THE TRIBULATION ENDED


(From the time the Antichrist had proclaimed to be God
and moved into the temple, 1260 days had passed.)

SEVENTY WEEKS WERE DETERMINED

Daniel had revealed to us that one of the items that would be included in the last week (which was the Tribulation) was to bring in everlasting righteousness.

Dan 9:24-It was written: SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED UPON THY PEOPLE AND UPON THY HOLY CITY,
 TO FINISH THE TRANSGRESSION,
 AND TO MAKE AN END OF SINS,
 AND TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY,
 AND TO BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS,
 AND TO SEAL UP THE VISION AND PROPHECY,
 AND TO ANOINT THE MOST HOLY.

Sixty-nine weeks or 483 years had ended about 2000 years ago. Then, there was a gap.
 The 70th week was the Tribulation. The end of the 70th week was the end of the Tribulation.


A RECAP OF THE LAST DAYS
OF THE TRIBULATION


BY THE END OF THE TRIBULATION,
THE POWER OF THE HOLY PEOPLE HAD BEEN BROKEN

(It Took 3 ½ Years)

In the first part of the Tribulation, God did an incredible miracle. He destroyed the armies of Russia and its allies, when they came against Israel. One-third of Israel had surrendered their lives to Christ. These fled (as God’s Word had told them to do) when the Antichrist moved into the temple in Jerusalem and claimed he was God. This was 1260 days from the end of the Tribulation.

The Antichrist moved into the temple in Jerusalem.
 The image of the Antichrist was set up on a wing of the temple. This happened 3 ½ years from the end of the Tribulation. During this time, he scattered and broke the power of the holy people. Then all these things were finished.
 God's anger was aroused against Israel. He hide His face from them. Israel was devoured. Many evils and troubles came upon them. God provoked Israel to anger with a foolish nation.

The Lord did these things, because they were a very perverse generation. They had done much evil. They had turned to other gods. They had turned aside from the ways of God and corrupted themselves. They had done much evil in the sight of the Lord and had provoked Him to anger with the work of their hands. They had moved Him to jealousy with that which was not God and with their vanities. They did not understand what their latter end would be. They had no faith.

The meat offering and the drink offering were cut off from the house of the Lord.
  As mentioned previously, during the second part of the Tribulation, there had been no rain upon Israel and the surrounding areas.

Israel was a nation that was void of good advice.
 Israel had no understanding.
 They did not consider what was going to happen to them.
 Israel’s strong cities were broken down.
 The pomegranate trees, the palm trees, the apple trees, even all the trees of the field were withered.
 The fields were wasted.
 The corn was wasted.
 The vines had dried up.
 The harvest had perished.
 The seed had rotted.
 The barns had broken down.
 The animals groaned. The waters had dried up.
 The cattle had no pasture.
 The invaders of Israel had cast lots for and sold the children of Israel.
 A boy had been given for a harlot.
 A girl was sold for wine, so they could drink.
 Fires had burned up much of the wilderness.
 The strong cities were broken down.

During the last part of the Tribulation, the fat and strong, the rich, the prosperous, the well-liked, the well-to-do, were destroyed with judgment. Israel’s glory (even the glory of Jacob) was made thin. Israel’s fatness was made thin. This came upon Israel, as they had forgotten the God of their salvation. They did not have in their thoughts the Rock of their salvation; that is, Jesus Christ.

Israel had said in that day: Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
 Israel was a nation that was void of counsel. There was no understanding in them. They did not understand what their latter end would be.

Finally, the day of the Lord was at hand.
 The Lord had compassion on His servants, when He saw that their power was gone.

God had made it clear that for 3½ years (or 1260 days), He would scatter the power of the holy people, and then all these things should be finished. This transpired at the very end of the Tribulation.
 The Antichrist had scattered or broken all the power of the holy people.

Then all these things were finished or completed.

Spiritually, God had called Jerusalem—SODOM AND EGYPT.
 This reflected that Jerusalem had been given over to the sins of SODOM.

Multitudes had denied the true God of heaven and worshipped the image of the beast (the Antichrist). They had taken the mark of the beast. They had completely corrupted themselves. They were spiritually dead. The name “Egypt” reflected their bondage—they were oppressed. They were slaves to sin.

Two-thirds of Israel were cut off, and died.

ONE-THIRD OF ISRAEL
HAD BEEN BROUGHT THROUGH THE FIRE AND REFINED

One-third of the Jews had turned to Jesus. They were brought through this horrific period and survived, by God’s mercy. They were brought through the fire and were refined as silver. They were tried as gold. They were God’s chosen people that would enter the Millennium, following Armageddon. God called them, His people; and they said, THE LORD IS MY GOD.
 So it was that all Israel was saved.

Even though God had chosen the Jews to be His people through His covenant with Abraham, each of them still needed to turn to the Lord their God and be obedient to His voice.
Two-thirds had been cut off and died, because they did not repent and turn to the Lord.

It was written in the Scriptures, WHEN THOU ART IN TRIBULATION, AND ALL THESE THINGS ARE COME UPON THEE, EVEN IN THE LATTER DAYS,
 “IF” THOU TURN TO THE LORD THY GOD,
 AND SHALT BE OBEDIENT UNTO HIS VOICE;
(FOR THE LORD THY GOD IS A MERCIFUL GOD;) HE WILL NOT FORSAKE THEE, NEITHER DESTROY THEE, NOR FORGET THE COVENANT OF THY FATHERS WHICH HE SWARE UNTO THEM-Deut 4:30,31.
 WHOSOEVER SHALL SEEK TO SAVE HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT-Lk 17:33. Those that sought to save their life and took the mark and worshipped the image, perished.
 Those that were tortured and beheaded lost their life at that moment, but saved their life for eternity; and so shall they ever be with the Lord.

(Commentary)

During the preceding Tribulation after the church had been removed, one-fourth of the world’s population was killed, as a result of the Russian invasion of Israel and the war that followed.
 Multitudes that surrendered to Jesus, during the Tribulation, had been martyred.
 Many others had been killed by pestilences, earthquakes, famines, and other hardships.
 Near the end of the second part of the Tribulation, one-third of the remaining population had been killed, as the Kings of the East advanced to Israel. More than half of the world’s population, which had been alive only a few years earlier, were now dead.
 God had done everything possible to get the world to repent. Some did, but most did not. God had warned the people through His Word, through the 144,000, and through the two prophets, not to take the mark or worship the Antichrist or his image. Most of the world did not listen.

During the Tribulation, many horrible things came upon the Jews and the world. Those that turned to the Lord and were obedient to His Word were not destroyed; for God is merciful and did not forsake those that sought Him. God did not forget the covenant, which He swore to their fathers.

FOR JEWS AND GENTILES ALIKE—
HE THAT ENDURED TO THE END WAS SAVED

God had promised in His Word that those that endured (or held out, or stood firm to the end) would be saved (or delivered).

There were all sorts of deceptions to overcome, including religious deception, and false christs and false prophets, and the misuse of God’s Word.
 There were overwhelming hardships that confronted many, such as hunger, persecution, sickness, escaping the violence that seemed to be everywhere and avoiding capture by the authorities.
 And there was the constant temptation to take the mark and worship the image that had to be overcome.

If, by God’s mercy, one survived to the end, they entered the Millennium in their physical body, when Jesus Christ returned.
 Most, however, were killed for their faith in Jesus during the Tribulation.
 These returned with Jesus at Armageddon in their new spiritual bodies.
 Only by standing firm in Christ and not shrinking back, was a person able to save themselves.
 Patience was needed for every follower of Jesus, for in a person’s patience and trusting in the Lord, they would be saved.
 All that followed Jesus learned to wait upon Him.


AFTER THE TRIBULATION,
BUT JUST BEFORE ARMAGEDDON


PREPARE FOR WAR

The three spirits of devils had already gone forth previously.
 They had put into the minds of the people of the world to prepare for war. The Gentile armies of the world had been gathering in the the Valley of Jehoshaphat, which is around Jerusalem.
 It was ordained that there—Jesus would judge the heathen.

THE TRIBULATION ENDED, AND BEYOND

The first part of the Tribulation had come and gone.
 One-fourth of the world’s population had died.

The midst of the Tribulation had come and gone.
 The Antichrist had claimed that “he” was God.
 Nearly all the world had taken the mark and worshipped the image. They had believed that he was the Christ.
 Moses and Elijah had come for 1260 days, and then ascended up to heaven.

The second part of the Tribulation had come and gone.
 The power of the holy people had been broken.
 One-third of the Jews were still being protected by God. They had escaped and could not be found.
 It had been said that a total of several million people from all nationalities, nations, and languages had surrendered to Jesus Christ and had survived throughout the Tribulation.
 More than one-half of the world’s population was dead before the Tribulation ended.
 All these things were finished.
 God declared THAT THERE SHOULD BE TIME NO LONGER (or there will be no more delay).
 He that endured to the end was saved.
 The armies of the world had gathered for the Battle.
 Armageddon exploded shortly thereafter.

WHY WON’T YOU BELIEVE?

In the past, the world did not believe there would be a worldwide flood. They were wrong. They died.
 In the past, those of Sodom and Gomorrah did not believe their cities would be destroyed. They were wrong. They died.
 More than seven years ago, prophecy scholars were warning about the signs of the times. The people mocked. They were wrong. They died.
 About seven years ago, the world mocked about such a thing as a Rapture. They were wrong. They were left behind.
 About seven years ago, the world did not believe there would be a Tribulation period and that multitudes would perish. They were wrong. They died.
 The Bible foretold that, during the Tribulation, Russia (which is Magog) would come and attack Israel, but they themselves would be destroyed. They did not believe. Most of them died.
 During the Tribulation, many believed the Antichrist was the real Christ. They were wrong. They died.
 During the Tribulation, many did not believe there would be such a battle as the Battle of Armageddon. They were wrong. They died.
 Billions and billions of people are in hell being tormented. They wished they had a second chance. Yet they did—they had many chances, but they just would not listen and believe. WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Man, in his pride, boasts of his great knowledge and achievements. But God said: Job 28:28-BEHOLD, THE FEAR OF THE LORD, THAT IS WISDOM; AND TO DEPART FROM EVIL IS UNDERSTANDING.

As this broadcast looks back from the Millennium, at the events that have taken place: Every prophecy in the Bible, up to this time, has come true without a single exception. Why won’t man listen and believe! What about you?

THE PEOPLE WERE SURPRISED

Armageddon was about to explode.
 Before the Rapture, few suspected such a thing would happen. Very few were watching and ready.
 Even as the days of Noah were, so it was at the time just before Armageddon.
 Even as the days of Lot were, so it was at the time just before Armageddon.
 Even as the days of Sodom and Gomorrah were, so it was at the time just before Armageddon.
 Right up to near the very end, people did not believe what was about to transpire. However, just before the end, the blindness started to come off of some, and they were terrified; but, by then, it was too late.

Right up to the time of Armageddon, people were eating and drinking, getting married, making plans, and did not understand—the end of nearly all life on earth was only days or hours away, and Jesus was returning.

MICAH’S WORDS OF HOPE

Mic 7:7-9-THEREFORE I WILL LOOK UNTO THE LORD; I WILL WAIT FOR THE GOD OF MY SALVATION: MY GOD WILL HEAR ME.
 REJOICE NOT AGAINST ME, O MINE ENEMY: WHEN I FALL, I SHALL ARISE; WHEN I SIT IN DARKNESS, THE LORD SHALL BE A LIGHT UNTO ME.
I WILL BEAR THE INDIGNATION OF THE LORD, BECAUSE I HAVE SINNED AGAINST HIM, UNTIL HE PLEAD MY CAUSE, AND EXECUTE JUDGMENT FOR ME: HE WILL BRING ME FORTH TO THE LIGHT, AND I SHALL BEHOLD HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

THE LAST FOUR GREAT EARTHQUAKES

1-The first happened immediately after the two witnesses went up into heaven. Seven thousand died in Jerusalem. It had ended the Tribulation.
 (The second and third earthquakes, which were greater, happened in the period between the end of the Tribulation and the beginning of the Battle of Armageddon.)
 2-The second resulted in the sun being as sackcloth and the moon as blood. The angels fell from heaven.
 3-The third was just before Armageddon. The mountains were moved out of their places.
 4-The fourth was the greatest earthquake in the history of the world. It took place at the time of Armageddon. When it was over, there were no mountains left on the planet. There were no sufficient words to describe it.
