Yes, the Pre-Trib view bumps up against this post. "These things can't possibly be part of the Great Tribulation ... I'm still here!"
Some people Call the Latter part of the Tribulation ... the Great Tribulation.
However Scripture....says “Great Tribulation”...
Matt 24:
[
21] For then shall be
great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Rev.2
[
22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into
great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev.7
[
14] And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of
great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
The world has had “tribulations” for eons.
* “GREAT” Tribulation is Tribulation revealed as Coming down from Heaven.
* “GREAT” Tribulation coming down from Heaven is revealed BECAUSE of Gods Anger.
* “Gods Anger” is revealed Because of His disgust of Corruption ON Earth.
* “Gods Anger” is revealed BY Gods ACTS of “WRATH” upon a Corrupt Earth.
* “Gods Wrath” of His Acts, upon a Corrupt Earth, ALSO effects, the THINGS upon the Earth.....ie the Earth itself (Dirt), the Water, the Plants, the animals, the structures...and the People.
Who, What, When, Why, Where, How........is all revealed in Scripture.
Who,Those ON Earth who have Rejected God
and His Word being Christ Jesus.
What,The Lord Gods Tribulation sent down from Heaven.
When,”
those” last days, Daniel (9:20-27) foretold, as a 7 yr period.
Why,”Extreme Earthly Corruption”.
Where, From Heaven TO upon the Earth.
How, By Gods Power.
So what ARE “These last days”?
When Jesus arrived 2,000 + years ago, that time, was “these last days”. (Heb 1:2) It was a time of Enlightenment, First, for the Tribesmen (Jews) and then for the Gentiles.
A time of hearing something new, learning secrets revealed, believing, trusting, or rejecting.
That has been going on for 2,000 years.
AND....As exponential learning and inventing has progressed, SO HAS exponential CORRUPTION INCREASED.
AND....SO HAS Gods DISTAIN for the Corruption INCREASED...
*** NOTHING NEW...it’s a REPEAT of the FIRST “GREAT TRIBULATION”....
As Scripture also reveals, the corruption increased and God Wrath Waxed hot, and God rained down His Wrath upon the Earth....ie the FIRST “Great Tribulation”...using the Earth to Destroy the Earth and all life upon the Earth... (ie the FLOOD)....except FOR A FEW, were SAVED....LIFTED UP TO THE CLOUDS, ABOVE the EARTH, while the Earth was being Destroyed.
Before First Great Tribulation....the Earth was exponentially increasing in Corruption, God was Angry, God reacted with His WRATH, God Save a FEW, by Lifting them UP above the Earth....
AND....nothing new under the sun...what was SHALL BE AGAIN.
Foretelling of Another and LAST Great Tribulation, is Parallel, to the FIRST.
Many are carrying on “as usual”, dealing with their “personal” fun and their “personal” hardships, here and there, Family issues, Job issues, Overbearing oppressive Governments, wars, fighting, droughts, food supply, etc. same as in Noahs’ day.
Few are Observing the Exponential Corruption upon the Earth, and ARE noticing the
SORROWS the World at Large is Experiencing BECAUSE of the Exponential World Corruption...the RUMORS, the Threats, the endless FEAR mongering,
the BEGINNING of Sorrows and Birth Pangs.
Few “ARE Prepared or ARE Preparing” for Gods Anger to wax hot, and Gods WRATH to rain down from Heaven, as foretold.
Pay attention to WHAT is foretold, and the ORDER and WAY of each thing that must come to pass.
Yes, the Pre-Trib view bumps up against this post. "These things can't possibly be part of the Great Tribulation ... I'm still here!
You have decided the Tribulation has BEGUN, by the SEALS opening....
Therefore PRE-TRIB is moot because you are still here.
* The SEAL openings is NOT about the chaos corrupt men ON EARTH DO....as we Clearly observe today.
* Jesus’ arrival on EARTH...was the Revealing of the “LAMB OF GOD”... The LAST and final gift to mankind FOR mankind's SALVATION.
* The FIRST sign of the 7 Year Great Tribulation, coming down from Heaven...
IS the
WRATH OF THE LAMB....the LAST to be revealed and the FIRST to send HIS WRATH upon the Earth, for BEING rejected...BY THOSE UPON the Earth.
* He is giving SATAN “power”, TO destroy things UPON the Earth, again destruction upon the earth, with the earth.... Fire, Earthquakes, mountains tumbling down, wars, fighting, distress, chaos, ¼ of the inhabitants upon the earth killed.....
the
First seal Opened,
the Second seal Opened, the Third Seal Opened, the Fourth Sealed Opened, AND:....
¼ the population KILLED FOR FOR BELIEVING....
*** ARE YOU, going to be BODILY KILLED, for BELIEVING?
I’m NOT. Because I am not “simply a Believer”....
I AM A “CONVERTED Believer”....I ALREADY LAID DOWN MY LIFE FOR BELIEVING, crucified WITH Christ Jesus.
Because I Already laid down my life, crucified with Christ Jesus.
God has EXCEPTED me from having to SUFFER great Wrath that Comes down from Heaven.
God has PROMISED me I would experience the same SAVING as was given Noah; to be Risen UP above the face of the Earth, BeFORE God rains down His Wrath UPON the Earth and it’s inhabitants.
Rev 6
[
9] And when he had opened the
fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that
were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
I actually would prefer the Pre-Trib scenario over mine - take me out before these catastrophic events - thank you very much. I just don't see it that way. Your view is popular and acceptable. So what's it gonna take to change your mind? 2 billion die in the next couple years? Will that do it?
Did you not learn from the Scriptures the knowledge of warnings to ESCAPE the coming Tribulation that comes down from Heaven expressly sent to cause destruction upon unrighteousness? And the ESCAPE is the same as it was for Faithful Noah?
You might comprehend the Pre-Trib, if you read and followed the knowledge of the ORDER, WAY, that applies to Noah, and the ORDER, WAY and who it applies to during the Second and Last Great Tribulation and WHY.
I mentioned the 7 years Prophecy of Daniel....
Noah was safe and secure IN the ark 7 days BEFORE the first rain drop fell.
Noah’s Ark that he labored and prepared years BEFORE the first Great Trib...
Was RISEN UP ABOVE the face of the Earth, TO THE CLOUDS, approx 20 Feet above the mountain peaks....He did NOT suffer one day of the destruction upon the face of the earth.
Ecc 1:
[

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Glory to God,
