TOPIC: THE CATASTROPHES OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION
TEXT: REVELATION 6:13-17
TUESDAY OCTOBER 25th
Key verse: Revelation 6:12. “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood”.
The great tribulation is described as being full of woes, judgments famines, bloody wars, explosions, plagues, terror, anguish, and earthquakes. It will be a time when men will call to the mountain to fall upon them; burning rocks will fall from heaven on the earth and scorch it, seas will be polluted, cattle and vegetation will be destroyed and millions will die from catastrophes “as if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him. Leaned his hand on the wall and the serpent bit him” Beast and men will be in trouble, even mighty men will weep. “Neither their gold and silver (riches) will be able to deliver them”.
Cities and nations will be under great distress and perplexity as the roaring of seas and waves and will experience hypertension and confusion as the powers of the heavens will be shaken by God (Amos 5:18-19). The antichrist shall rise and win nations; some by war while others shall surrender to him. The false prophet popularizes him, making men worship even his image. No one buys or sells without the mark of the beast, 666, and anyone that receives the mark is automatically doomed forever. There will be great apostasy, false religions, and an increase in the power of the devil who will be driven down to the earth.
God’s planned judgments will fall on men in a divine sequence producing supernatural phenomena and demonic creatures unknown to man. These will come as Christ opens seven seals of the scroll on which they occur, then the blowing of seven trumpets each, a harbinger of more woes. 144,000 Jews will be sealed and raptured as well as countless tribulation saints from all over the world. Saints in the tribulation will be martyred.
Thought for the day: The great tribulation is a time of greatest suffering on earth
