END TIMES - REVELATION The following is a synopsis of the end times events that will hopefully shake you into the reality and the servility of the times we are living.
Just more hype from the pre-trib rapture crowd. You might as well just say, "Hal Lindsay made money off his pre-trib rapture theory books about destruction and mayhem during the tribulation, so why can't I?"
Bible Facts:
1. Jesus said we would hear of wars and rumors of wars, and not be troubled by that, but the end is NOT yet. That means the tribulation is going to be a time OPPOSITE of wars and rumors of wars, and that means a time of world peace. Daniel 8 and 11 confirms that's how the coming false messiah will work, coming in peacefully and using peace to destroy many (spiritually through lies).
2. the Matthew 24:29-31 scripture reveals that Lord Jesus comes AFTER the tribulation to gather His saints. That very important timing is totally bypassed by the Pre-trib Rapture crowd.
3. Revelation 13 asks who can make war with the beast? That suggests ALL wars will have stopped for the great tribulation time. The events of earthquakes, famines, pestilences is for NOW, just PRIOR to the great tribulation. Jesus called it the beginning of sorrows, not the tribulation.
4. the great tribulation in Matthew 24 begins with the placing of the "abomination of desolation" idol in Jerusalem for false worship. That is when Jesus showed then there will be great tribulation that the world has never seen the likes before. and that is when He warned about the coming of a false messiah, to not believe on that false one.
5. Jesus comes after... that tribulation to gather His Church, as written in Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27.
