THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE 
TEXT: REVELATION 19:1-10

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 5th

Key verse: Matthew 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” 
The Great Tribulation will occur after the rapture and will be a time of terrible suffering on earth. It is also referred to as the time of “Jacob’s trouble” Jeremiah 30:7. There will be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time no, nor ever shall it be. It is called; the day of the Lord, a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds of thick darkness, a day of waste and desolation and a time of trouble. 
The purpose of the great tribulation is to make Israel suffer so that they can be ready to cry to the Messiah; the Lord Jesus Christ whom they presently reject, to come to them. It is also to judge the unbelieving men and women of all ages. The Bible shows that the great tribulation will take off after the rapture of the church, and will last for seven years. It will end at the second advent of Jesus Christ, when He alights on mount Olives and settles in Jerusalem for a thousand-year millennial reign. 
This means that it is post-rapture and pre-millennium or the last week of Daniel’s 70 weeks. Daniel 9:26, 27. It is post-rapture because God will not let His children to suffer the great tribulation, its judgments and destructions. He saved Noah, (a preacher of righteousness) and his family before destroying the world with flood. He rescued lot (who was vexed with the filthy conversation of Sodom) and family before destroying it with fire. So God will take away his children from the earth before the great tribulation begins.
The great tribulation reaches its peak of destructions, judgments, terrors, frightening wars and desolation from the middle of the seven-year duration and ends with Christ’s Second Advent. That is when the antichrist breaks his seven-year peace covenant with Israel and attacks Jerusalem. 

Thought for the day: Strive to escape the great tribulation.

Song of the day: There is a great day coming, a great day coming bye and bye.

Bible reading for the day: 
Isaiah 31-33; Philippines 1

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
