It Changes Now
This is a word given on 4-3-20 (the link at the bottom).
Judge it accordingly.
We know as the book of Revelation
begins to unfold, much more lack
of items we use everyday will become
hard to come by.
Not saying we have entered the tribulation yet,
but this virus thing is getting people to think of
of the things we used to take for granted.
It's been over two weeks since my wife and I
went out to our favorite restaurant for a nice meal.
With many people facing unemployment and jobs being lost,
I count myself fortunate and blessed to still be drawing a paycheck.
My wife still has her job, although she is now working from home.
I'm reminded of that verse over in 2 Cor, "...for the things that are seen are temporal,
but the things that are not seen are eternal. We may be in for a rough ride as future
events begin to accelerate, but the Lord will be with us every step of the way to
direct and guide us through them. And He will be there to take us into His eternal kingdom
when our lives are fulfilled upon this earth. Keep looking up. Trust in His goodness. Never give up.
Word for 04/03/20 A It Changes Now
If you put God First, you have Him at Last.

Well my brother, according to Jesus the "Great Tribulation" started around AD70 and is still ongoing today. Like a woman in labor there have been many different contractions. What we are seeing today though is that we are getting closer to the delivery of the baby!
In Matthew 24:21 Jesus said:
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

In Matthew 24:21 Jesus said:
Enduring tribulation is something all believers will encounter.
Jesus said so'..."in the world you will have tribulation" (Jn 16:33).
Trials and trouble befall all Christians in this life because of satanic adversity and living within a sin obsessed and fallen society.
The term tribulation (Strong's: Greek #2347) here means to feel pressure, to be afflicted, anguished, burdened or persecuted.
When I mentioned entering the tribulation, I did not mean enduring test's, trials, and the tribulation of such hardships.
I was referring to a future time of extreme hardships that will be encountered by Christians that has not yet come to pass.
Such as the book of Revelation, the book of Danial, and the reign of the evil dictator, Antichrist all coming to pass in our individual lifetime.
I was not thinking of past tribulation such as the million plus Jew's who were murdered in AD 70, or the millions more who were killed in the Nazi death camps.
I was thinking of the final 3 & 1/2 years, 1260 days, or 42 months (Rev 11:2, 13:5), of great tribulation, also referred to as Jacobs trouble (Jer 30:3-7).
The future tribulation at a future time frame will produce such pressure and anguish upon this current world in which we live, that "unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved, but for the sake of the elect (Christians at that time) those days shall be cut short (Mt 24:22).
If you put God First, you have Him at Last.

I am talking about the book of Revelation prophecies brother. "The Great Tribulation" started around 70 AD and has been ongoing since then. We now have the ability to study world history and compare it side by side with John's prophecies.
I believe he saw it all, extreme persecution under the Romans, the birth and spread of Islam, Catholicism, WWI, WWII, the holocaust, Apartheid, the middle east today, the black plague, COVID-19, etc, etc, etc. I believe that islam is THE final anti Christ.
