A judgment time for the world called Tribulation, Part 1

A judgment time for the world called Tribulation, Part 1

After the rapture a time will come on the whole world called the great tribulation period or a time of great sorrows. Now this will be about seven years in length.

This is mainly to give the lost another chance to reconsider the choices that they made before the rapture. After all the chaotic things that will be happening has settled down and those chaotic things will be like I said before planes will be crashing and car crashing all around the world and every where that someone is doing something what ever that is and they were Christians then they are gone and if they make up more that one person on that job then it will be in a lot of cases that some of those will be left and some will have gone to the cloud.

Now after this settling down time frame God starts to do certain things to give the people that was left behind the opportunity to change their mind and follow him. Now let's take a quick trip back before the rapture when there were some that wanted to set up a new world order government where the whole world would live under the leadership of Satan, now they didn't use the word Satan but that is who they meant when they talked about a new world order and made you believe that the whole world and all the people in it would be so much better off and all the politically correct crowd will be more than happy to see that type of government come into being.

I'm not talking about a hundred years ago but just in the last few years and I know that if you really like someone and believe that they have your best interest at heart then you will probably not find anything that you don't like about that person but if you are wrong and if you think about it then you know that Satan had some fore runners that lived among us and that was part of his plan to use them to start to put in place certain things that he would use in the tribulation period. He almost certainly has to have a certain amount of people on his side to accomplish what he will need to do in the coming seven years.

Now when I write this next part there will be a lot of you out there that will have a chuckle over this statement and that is OK but I believe that the Internet will be a very useful tool for Satan because with him not being like God and able to be everywhere at once then he will have to depend on a lot of people to help him out and only you know for sure if you are one of those people or not, he will also need such a tool to keep track on most everybody and where they are at on any given time frame and we are so caught up in the Internet that we don't have any problem putting all of our personal information on it past and present.

Now I know that you have heard that there is no privacy for anyone living because of the Internet, because we do so much by way of the airways and so nothing is private anymore. Can you think of a better way of him keeping up with you if you are one of them that are left behind? You must understand that Satan is such a liar and deceiver that he believes that he will win the final battle and he doesn't believe that Jesus is God either because he tried to temp him in the garden before he went to the cross so if he really believed him to be the son of God then he probably would not have wasted his time trying to do that.

Satan lives in such a dark depressing place and he rules all of his demon helpers with an iron fist as they say so if you end up there then now you know what to expect and with him he don't care if you are rich or poor or what color your skin is or if you are crippled or a marathon runner because all he thinks about is you belong to him. Now back to the time of tribulation and what a bad situation that you are in and also God will let you see that cloud that comes to take away all of his and then you will know for sure what just happened and you are truly left behind. Now Satanic forces here on Earth in most of the first year will be for settling people down and to try to make them forget what just happened and you got to remember that when the rapture occurred the Holy Spirit was removed from the Earth and that helped Satan a lot because today Satan and the Holy Spirit are in a constant battle for your soul so now he has the free range to make you do something that is totally against what God would have you do and in most cases you will be more than happy to do it.

Now next time I want to get into the middle years of the tribulation period and show how we are heading toward that last opportunity to turn back to Christ and I will say that there will be some that do and some that don't.

Now let me say that I pray that you are not one of those that don't have to worry about those seven years. So may God bless you and touch your heart enough that when that shout comes and he says come up hither that you will be one of those that I'm able to look over at you and say now this is first class traveling.

Love to all of you in Christ’s name.
