†...Evening Sidney...† Yes indeed there will be two tribulations. One is the tribulations that will arise out of the appearance of anti christ (satan disguised as Jesus)and on a bigger than life scale, but not in the manner that most people believe. Remember the warning in Daniel; Dan 8:23-25 23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. 24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully , and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many : he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (KJV) The second tribulation is in fact the wrath of God. And this too is also misunderstood by many, but a tribulation nonetheless! And of course God does not need the escape theory of our rapture- hyped brothers and sisters to effect a guaranteed protection of His elect! It( the so-called rapture) is not written , and it will not happen. And if our brothers and sisters of the rapture group do not wake up, they will find themselves in bed with the enemy of God. Tomorrow I hope to post a detailed study on the unforgivable sin as it relates to tongues as spoken of in Acts 2:3 , and exactly how it is directly connected to end times, and why it is so unforgivable. Understanding it as it is taught by Christ , and not man, will also shine more light on why the elect will be here at the appearance of anti christ. All honor, praise, and glory, be unto God our Father!!† Have to go for now Sidney, talk again on this later. Have a most blessed evening Shalom...><>
