[SIZE=12pt]It is scary to think of the multitude in the church world that will either be saved after the Rapture or worship the Antichrist.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Not for a moment can you think it will be easy to resist the dark deception once the Bride of Christ is gone. The Antichrist will take on the persona of Jesus Christ. There is a great company that rejects the Pre-Tribulation Rapture that will be subject to great deception because of this false teaching. This crowd sees themselves as over comers and like an army defeating Satan's Antichrist. The effort of the Antichrist to enlist them for his plan is awesome.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]We already see a multitude dying in chapter six. When the people who know they have missed the Rapture realize it’s now or never, a multitude will fall on their faces to repent. Think of the whole world being aware of the departure of millions and open graves everywhere. Arabs will now know that Allah was not God. The false religions all over the world will not have a chance to repent and be converted. The Bible says that when His judgments are in the earth men will “learn righteousness” (Isaiah 26:9).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Let’s look at the picture that the angels created for John to see. A marvelous number of Jews are saved and sealed. But the great number is citizens of the world. Many dark religions have blended great cultures of people. Religions like Islam have blended entire nations of people and taught them anger against the Jews and Christians. All of this must come to a conclusion and the God of the Bible will be vindicated. The hated Christians will now be prepared to rule the world under the sovereign hands of Jesus Christ.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21: 34-36).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]The book of Revelation is a breathtaking drama. From chapter one to chapter twenty-two, except chapters two and three, are in every case a living theatrical production. John saw the book come alive before his face. The book of Revelation a living picture and simple for you to teach others and to awake lost souls. The word “saw” or synonyms of that word are used over sixty times in twenty chapters of the Book Of Revelation.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]No picture in this revelation is more graphic than the multitude of dying or dead saints, martyred for their faith in Jesus Christ. This vast number are clearly the multitudes that missed the Rapture but repented and became willing sacrifices for Christ. This scene shows up first in chapters six almost as soon as the seven-year Tribulation begins.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]When the Lamb of God had opened the fifth seal, the text tells us what John saw. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]“I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held...” (Revelation 6:9b).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]They were physically dead but yet alive. They had been martyred but were now awaiting their resurrection. Their death had been so gruesome that even in this glorious place and clearly beyond the instrument of their death they were pained to remember how they died. John saw and heard as they cried aloud. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]“And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” (Revelation 6:10). [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]I know of no place in Scripture where death did not hide the suffering that preceded the death. But this is the Great Tribulation of which Jesus said, “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:21-22).[/SIZE]
