Two
Tribulations
By Servant of God
Let's
begin in Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 4:29 but if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
thou shalt find Him, if thou seek Him with all thy heart and with all
thy soul.
Deuteronomy 4:30 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;
Deuteronomy 4:31 (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.
It's very important that you know there
are two tribulations, not that there is only one which is commonly
taught. The more tribulation you have, God will send you more
comfort. God promises that when you have tribulation, seek Him and you
shall find Him.
Now let's look at the first tribulation,
and what brings it to pass. The first tribulation is the false
messiah appearing on this earth first, to deceive all those
that did not study God's letter. Revelation 12:7 is the reason
and the cause of the first tribulation.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven; Michael and his
angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his
angels,
Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not, neither was their place found any
more in heaven.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world;
he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Satan deceives the whole earth, but not
God's Elect. Talk about tribulation, that will bring it on you.
In verse 9 you see some of his names and the roles he plays. But his
main role is accuser. He accuses you before our God day and
night.
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now is
come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the
power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our Goy day and night.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives
unto the death.
Satan's name is death, documentation:
Hebrews 2:14
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and
blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through
death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that
is, the devil;
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in
them, “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the
devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth
that he hath but a short time.”
This is when Satan physically is cast out
and appears in his role as false messiah, Anti Christ. he knows that
he only has a short time, God shortened that time to 5 months -
Revelation 9.
Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto
the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a
great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness into her place,
where she is nourished for a time, and times and half a time, from the
face of the serpent.
Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as
a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of
the flood.
It's a flood of lies
to deceive people.
Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth
opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out
of his mouth.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to
make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of
God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Now let's go to Mark 13
Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no
thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate; but
whatsoever shall be given you that hour, that speak ye; for it is not
ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
This is when God`s Elect are delivered up,
in the hour of temptation. That's the purpose of many Christians in
the end days, to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you.
Mark 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death,
and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their
parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name`s sake; but he
that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
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 Judea flee to the
mountains:
That's in Jerusalem, That's where Satan
will set up his capital.
Mark 13:15 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;
Mark 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again
for to take up his garment.
Mark 13:17 But woe ot them that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!
Mark 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
When is harvest? Harvest time is in the
summer not winter, so see that you are not harvested out of season.
Mark 13:19 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.
The word affliction = tribulation.
Strong's # 2347
thlipsis, from 2346; pressure, ( Literally
or figuratively); KJV—afflicted, anguish, burdened, persecution,
tribulation, trouble.
Tribulation like there never was since the
beginning to time.
Mark 13:20 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.
Mark 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is
Christ; or, lo, He is there; believe him not;
Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall
shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the
elect.
Mark 13:23 But take ye heed; behold, I have foretold you all things.
Now we come to the second tribulation,
note it says after that tribulation.
Mark 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation,
the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Mark 13:25 and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers
that are in heaven shall be shaken.
This is the second tribulation, at the 7th
trump at the true Christ's return, this is God's tribulation.
Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the son of man coming in the
clouds with great power and glory.
Mark 13:27 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.
The four winds have to do with the moment
of the end, That's the second tribulation, God's tribulation when the
battle of Armageddon and Hamon-gog take place.
Those battles will not last 15 minutes,
for we don't fight them, God fights those battles for us.
So there you have the two tribulations.
