Answer 3

The Great Tribulation is Satan's wrath against God's people -- all of God's people, not just Christians or Jews, but all of Israel. It is a time of trouble (mostly due to war) initiated by the Beast power (sometimes called The Antichrist -- an alignment of 10 nations and leaders under one man) and the False Prophet (a powerful religious leader). It will last about 2-1/2 years. After which, God's wrath comes upon the earth to destroy all those who have not repented and submitted to God. That will last about 1 year. At the end of which, Christ will return to the earth and the saints (true Christians from all ages) will be resurrected. The Beast and False Prophet will be thrown into the lake of fire, to be killed. And then Satan will be imprisoned, and the 1000 year reign of Christ and his saints will begin. People will finally know how to live in peace and happiness under their worldwide rule.

At the end of the 1000 years, all those who have died without truely knowing God, will be resurrected and judged. After that the whole universe is remade to a new and beautiful place for all of God's creatures to live in forever.

Answer 4

Actually We have been in the tribulation for the last several thousand years.

Many have grown tired of this and they are starting to actually live the message of love that Jesus left for us.

They have invited Jesus and the holy spirit into their lives and into their hearts. They have ask Jesus to guide their thought and actions so that they might become living manifestations of his teachings of love and tolerance in the world.

This is slowly turning the tide. Soon humanity will reach a point where more of us are seeing the world from the loving light that Jesus told us of. Once this point is reached things will move quickly and those who preach fear and hate will be ignored.

Then God will reign on earth for a thousand years and all the fear and hate will be forgotten.

Answer 5

First the Rapture of the Church will take place,which then opens the door for the wrath of Christ:
1. The 7 seal judgements
2. The reign of the devil
3. The 7 vial judgements
4. The destruction of the world's religious system
5. The destruction of the world's economic system
6. The bloodbath at Armageddon
7. The destruction of the antichrist and the false prophet
THE 7 SEAL JUDGEMENTS:
1. First Seal : Rev 6:2- The antichrist as he subdues to himself the 10 nations of the revived Roman Empire.This would be the "cold war" period. He carries no arrows with his bow which may mean conquest by diplomacy rather than a shooting war.
2. Second Seal : the uneasy peace that the antichrist brought in the first seal is temporary and counterfeit. This seal is the "hot war".
3. Third Seal : famine
4. Fourth Seal : widespread death by war ,starvation,and wild beasts. One-fourth of all humanity will perish,nearly 1 billion human beings.
5. Fifth Seal : the cry of the martyred
6. Sixth Seal : Earth's greatest earthquake,Earth's greatest cosmic disturbance,Earth's greatest prayer meeting.
Between the 6th and 7th seal there is an interlude. During this interlude,2 significant events take place:
1. The conversion and the call of the 144,000. This doesn't mean that only Jews are saved during the tribulation,for in Rev. 7:9-17,the Bible declares that a great multitude from every nation will be saved. The 144,000 are Hebrews sent to evangelize the world.
2. The conversion of a great multitude: those who are saved during the tribulation.
7. Seventh Seal : composed of 7 trumpets:
1. 1st trumpet : one-third of vegetation detroyed
2. 2nd trumpet : one-third of ocean life and ships destroyed.
3. 3rd trumpet : one-third of fresh water poisened
4. 4th trumpet : one-third of the sun,moon, and stars darkened.
5. 5th trumpet : first hellish invasion of demons upon this earth
6. 6th trumpet : second hellish invasion of demons upon this earth; another interlude between the 6th and 7th trumpet.
7. 7th trumpet : proclaims that very soon now the Lord Jesus Christ will take over the nations of this world as their rightful ruler. The 7th angel prepares us not only for the consummation of the ages,but also for the explanation of all things.
" But in the days of the voice of the 7th angel,when he shall begin to sound,the mystery of God should be finished." Noone will ever again doubt the existence of God,and will no longer question where He was when all the evil in the world was happening,because now His wrath has been poured out upon all who had rejected Him.
The 5th,6th,and 7th trumpets mark the deepest darkness and most painful intensity of the great tribulation,the last 3 and a half years(out of 7 years),the blackest days in human history.These demons will inflict horrible torment upon those who have received the mark of the beast,and the duration of the torment will be 5 months.The effect of this torment is to drive men to suicide,but they will not be able to die. The reason men cannot die is probably because satan has the key to the "shaft of the abyss" and wil not allow his followers to leave the earth scene where the battle of light and darkness is being fought. The " sahft" indicates that there is an entrance from the surface of the earth to the heart of our planet.
The 7 seals and 7 trumpets are the First Divine Punishments. Revelations describes all that will happen during the tribulation. The first 3 and a half years will be under total rule of the antichrist,and the world will worship him,because he brought "peace" to the world. He will deceive many with the false hope of peace,when in reality all he wants is to condemn as many as he can to damnation along with him.The last 3 and a half years will be the worst torment,bloodshed,famine,natural disasters,etc. that mankind has ever seen.
THE SEVEN VIAL JUDGEMENTS: 3rd Divine Punishment
1. Terrible sores upon the followers of the antichrist
2. Total poisoning of all saltwater
3. total poisoning of all fresh water
4. fearful and blistering heat from the sun
5. Darkness upon the capital of the antichrist
6. The drying up of the Euphrates River,to prepare for Armageddon.
7. The world's greatest earthquakes and hailstorms
THE WORLD'S RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS DESTROYED;the universal false church: 4th Divine Punishment.
THE WORLD'S POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS DESTROYED: 5th Divine Punishment.
SATAN (antichrist) AND HIS FOLLOWERS DESTROYED AT ARMAGEDDON: 6th Divine Punishment.
THE ANTICHRIST AND FALSE PROPHET CONDEMNED TO HELL: 7th Divine Punishment.
After all this,God will create a new heaven and new earth where His Faithful followers will reign with Jesus for 1000 years.After a thousand years,satan will be loosed once again for a short time to test the faithfulness of God's people,but then he will once again be thrown back into hell where he will remain for eternity.After this will be the Great White Throne Judgement of all mankind.

Answer 6

Harpazo = Rapture

END-TIME BIBLE PROPHECY

The Messiah Lord Jesus said BIRTH PANGS would signal the time of the end (Matthew 24:8). There are NINE birth pangs, they are all PRE-TRIBULATIONAL and the 1st three already occurred.

The first birth pang was worldwide conflict coupled with famines and earthquakes (Matthew 24:7-8). Worldwide conflict was fulfilled in 1914-1918, major famines happened in 1918-1921 and most of the world’s major earthquakes began to occur since 1900.

The second birth pang was the restoration of a Jewish State (Ezekiel 20:33-38; Ezekiel 22:17-22; Ezekiel 36:22-24; Zephaniah 2:1-2). This was fulfilled in 1948.

The third birth pang was Jewish control of the Old City of Jerusalem (Revelation 11:1-2). For the third Jewish Temple (Tribulation Temple) to be rebuilt, Jerusalem needs to be under Jewish control and this was accomplished in the Six Day War in 1967.

The fourth birth pang will be the Ezekiel 38 war. Russia, allied states of Iran, Ethiopia, Somalia, Germany and Armenia will invade Israel. God will miraculously destroy the invading army by earthquake, civil war among the invading soldiers, pestilence, blood, flood, hailstones, fire and brimstone. This will bring a revival in Israel where many Jews will turn to the Lord, and Israel will spend 7 years and 7 months burying the bodies and burning for fuel the military equipment left behind (Ezekiel 39:9-16).

The 5th birth pang will be the development of a one world government (Daniel 7:23-24).

The 6th birth pang will be the splitting of the one world government into 10 kingdoms and this Ten Kingdom Stage will continue until mid-Tribulation (Daniel 7:24).

The 7th birth pang will be the revelation of the Antichrist (II Thessalonians 2:1-3; Daniel 7:24).

The 8th birth pang will be a period of peace and false security that will be shattered by the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 5:1-3).

The 9th and final birth pang before the Tribulation is the signing of the 7-year covenant between Israel and the Antichrist. THIS EVENT IS WHAT BEGINS THE (7-year) TRIBULATION - NOT THE RAPTURE!

The Rapture of the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) is also a pre-tribulational event (Luke 21:34-37; 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10; Revelation 3:10; Revelation 19:6-8). The fact that the Church is not mentioned in any of the Tribulation Scriptures proves the Rapture is pre-tribulational. All raptured Christians will receive glorified bodies (Romans 8:22-23; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54)) and it can happen at any second.


THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRIBULATION (SUPPORTING VERSES IN REVELATION 6-9 AND 17)

The Ministry of 144,000 sealed Jewish believers will bring many throughout the world to accept Christ.

There will be a powerful Ministry of Two Witnesses who will also be anointed Jewish believers.

A one world religious system (Babylon the Harlot) will rule. Under this one world religious system, many who are saved during the Tribulation will suffer persecution and death.

The Political system of the 10 kings of the one world government will continue.

During the first half of the Tribulation there will also be war, worldwide famine, death (1/4 of the world’s population will die), a huge earthquake, a blackout and a meteor shower. 1/3 of earth’s dry surface will be destroyed, 1/3 sea life and salt water will be destroyed, a fallen angel called Wormwood will make 1/3 of earth’s fresh water bitter, 1/3 of earth’s natural light sources will be destroyed, there will be another blackout and demons in the form of “locust-scorpions” will come up out of the abyss led by Abaddon their king and they will inflict harm and pain for five months upon those who are not sealed by God (unbelievers). Another demonic invasion will occur and the demons involved will be led by four fallen angels who will be released from the Euphrates River and this army will kill 1/3 of the earth’s population.


MID-TRIBULATION (SUPPORTING VERSES IN REVELATION 10-14 AND 17)

The Antichrist will war against the 10 kings, and during the war the Antichrist will be killed.

Satan will be cast out of the atmospheric heavens onto earth and will resurrect the Antichrist.

The Antichrist will kill 3 kings (the kings of Syria, Egypt and Mesopotamia) and the 7 other kings will submit to him.

The Antichrist will kill the Two Witnesses in Jerusalem and the wicked people will celebrate this event. Three and a half days afterwards, God will resurrect the Two Witnesses and take them up to Heaven and the people who celebrated will become terrified. The city of Jerusalem where the murder of the Two Witnesses occurred will then suffer an earthquake which will kill 7,000 people.

The False Prophet will receive from Satan the power to perform great miracles and will deceive many. The False Prophet will command all people to worship the Antichrist and have persons create an image to the Antichrist. The False Prophet will use his satanic powers to give it life and the ability to speak. The False Prophet will cause those who refuse to worship the Antichrist and the image to be killed.

The False Prophet will issue his own counterfeit seal known as the Mark of the Beast and it will be placed on all those who surrender to the Antichrist’s authority and accept him as god. Those who refuse to take this mark will not be able to buy or sell. Those who take this mark will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire.

The Antichrist will break the seven-year covenant he made with Israel, cause the sacrifices to stop, sit in the Jewish Temple, declare to the world that he is really God and set up an idol called the Abomination of Desolation in the Temple (Daniel 9:27; Daniel 12:11; Matthew 24:15-16; 11Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 13:11-15).

Through the Antichrist and the False Prophet, Satan will attempt to destroy the Jews once and for all but he will fail because 1/3 of the Jews will succeed in fleeing into the wilderness. These Jews who escape will accept the Lord Jesus as their Saviour during the Tribulation (Zechariah 13:7-9) and while they are in hiding, God will miraculously provide for them (Zechariah 13:8-9; Isaiah 41:17-20). Divine intervention will also destroy the pursuing army.


THE SECOND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION (SUPPORTING VERSES FOUND IN REVELATION 15, 16, 18, 19, 20)

In the second half of the Tribulation, those with the Mark of the Beast will suffer skin sores, the remainder of sea water and fresh water will be destroyed, the sun will cause terrible burns and the wicked will blaspheme God. There will be yet another blackout and persons will suffer gnawing pains.

Babylon will be the center of world economy and political system but Babylon will be swiftly destroyed by fire and become uninhabitable for man.

The Antichrist will locate the Jews who sought refuge in the wilderness and surround them with his armies to wipe them out. The Lord Jesus will then descend from Heaven with His angels and Saints. He will come with great glory riding upon a horse and will destroy the Antichrist, the False Prophet and all of their armies. After this, a loud voice will cry out “It is done!” followed by the greatest earthquake in the earth’s history and hail weighing 120 pounds will fall.

At the end of the Tribulation, there will be another blackout, the stars will fall from the sky and the heavenly bodies will be shaken (Matthew 24:29), the Antichrist and the False Prophet will be thrown into the eternal Lake of Fire and Satan will be cast into the Abyss and bound for 1,000 years.


THE MILLENNIUM

The Lord Jesus will reign over the entire earth during the Millennium. The Jewish and Gentile believers who survive the Tribulation will go on to populate the Millennium. Believers who died before and during the Tribulation and believers who were raptured will be present on earth during the Millennium and because they will have glorified bodies they will not reproduce. All believers will be given special tasks by the Lord Jesus (Revelation 20:4-6). There will be no wars (Isaiah 2:2-4), animals will return to the Edenic state and become vegetarians (Isaiah 11:6-9), people will not labour in vain but eat what they plant and inhabit what they build, there will be renovations in the heavens and earth and there will be righteous and unrighteous children born during the Millennium (Isaiah 65:17-25).

At the end of the Millennium, Satan will be loosed from the Abyss and will deceive and gather the unrighteous for a war against the righteous. This will be his final attempt to destroy the righteous and when the unrighteous of the Millennium surround the good people, God will send fire down from Heaven which will suddenly and massively annihilate all of the wicked people. Satan will then be cast into the Lake of Fire where he will remain in torment for eternity (Revelation 20:7-10).


THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT

The Great White Throne Judgment will be the next main event. The old heavens and earth will be done away with and all will stand before God’s throne to be judged (Revelation 20:11-12). Those whose names are not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire which will be their final and eternal abode (Revelation 20:14-15).


THE ETERNAL ORDER (REVELATION 21 AND 22)

Those whose names are found in the Book of Life will enjoy paradise with God forever. The heavens and earth will be made new and the New Jerusalem will come down upon the earth making the earth like Heaven. All curses from the fall will be removed and the earth will be inhabited by the Triune God (The Father, Son and Holy Spirit), all angels and all of the righteous. The seas, moon, night and sun will be done away with and the glory of God will illuminate the earth. The River of Life will flow from God’s throne, the Tree of Life will bear health-giving fruits and leaves and the name of Jesus will be on the foreheads of all of the righteous.

Answer 7

Any tribulation would have to do with our turning as one from what we call, "God"; but in truth, we never left, nor could we...we remain as created.

A thousand years isn't literal...in the old days, if one wanted to speak of forever, or anything bigger than life, they would use a big number...as in, "Seventy-times-seven", which means infinity.

Answer 8

It is a way of saying that the actions of God are not limited to the span of a single human life. Ages come and go. You can only see the age you are living in, because ages last a really long time.

Answer 9

sure, after the great tribulation, God will reign for 1000 years with his saints on earth. it's pretty self explanatory.

Answer 10

At the return of Christ, we have the tribulations of world wars and all sorts of struggles due to human ignorance, prejudice and arrogance.
Then they will turn to the Messiah in repentance, and He allows them to serve in His Kingdom for 1000 years. Blessed for those people who seek for Him at His return.
