THE GREAT TRIBULATION
THE GREAT TRIBULATION
Introduction
THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD IS SATAN’S WRATH AGAINST THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD AND THE NATION OF ISRAEL STARTING AT JERUSALEM AND IS THE TIME OF MAJOR SPIRITUAL DECEPTION AND PERSECUTION AGAINST THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD AND THE NATION OF ISRAEL ON THE EARTH BEFORE THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
THIS IS A TIME IMMEDIATELY AFTER SATAN AND HIS DEMONS ARE CAST OUT FROM HEAVEN UNTO THE EARTH – FROM THE PRESENCE OF GOD – AND NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS FROM THE EARTH.
GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST DOES NOT WANT US TO BE IGNORANT OF THE EVENTS LEADING INTO THE GREAT TRIBULATION, THE EVENTS DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION, AND THE EVENTS ENDING THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD THAT IS COMING UPON THE EARTH BEFORE THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
THESE EVENTS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE FOR THE WISE SAINTS OF GOD TO UNDERSTAND; SO THAT WE CAN BE SPIRITUALLY PREPARED FOR THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD AND NOT BE OVERCOME BY SPIRITUAL DECEPTION.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE REVELATOR OF THE SEVEN SEALS OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS THE FIFTH SEAL OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION
THE FOCAL POINT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS IN THE LAND OF CANAAN AND THE CITY OF JERUSALEM – WRONGLY CALLED THE NATION OF ISRAEL TODAY – IN WHICH THE TRIBES OF JUDAH; BENJAMIN AND THE LEVITES – THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM – RESIDES.

- WHERE IS THE FOCAL POINT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION?
MANY ARE IGNORANT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE JERUSALEM TO GOD.
THE FOCAL POINT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS JUDAH AND JERUSALEM.
THE CITY OF JERUSALEM BELONGS TO GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST WHO IS THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL AND IS THE FOCAL POINT OF ALL THE EVENTS OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
ANY OTHER NATION WHICH RULES THE CITY OF JERUSALEM INSTEAD OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL WILL BE TRANSGRESSING THE COVENANT THE LORD GOD MADE WITH THE NATION OF ISRAEL DESCENDING FROM ABRAHAM; ISRAEL AND JACOB AND WILL BE AN ABOMINATION TO GOD.
THE LORD GOD OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL IS THE GOD OF JERUSALEM.

SATAN’S THRONE ON THE EARTH IS AT PERGAMOS WHICH IS IN THE LOCATION OF PRESENT DAY TURKEY.
WHEN SATAN IS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN; HE WILL ATTEMPT TO SET UP HIS SEAT ON THE EARTH IN THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM AGAINST GOD.
SATAN’ S STRATEGY IS TO SET UP WORSHIP AWAY FROM GOD TO HIMSELF AT JERUSALEM – THE CITY THAT BELONGS TO GOD.
Rev 2:12-13 (KJV)12 And G2532 to the angel G32 of the church G1577 in G1722 Pergamos G4010 write; G1125 These things G3592 saith G3004 he which hath G2192 the sharp G3691 sword G4501 with two edges; G1366
Rev 2:13 (KJV) 13 know G1492 thy G4675 works, G2041 and G2532 where G4226 thou dwellest, G2730 EVEN WHERE G3699 SATAN’S G4567 SEAT G2362 IS: and G2532 thou holdest fast G2902 my G3450 name, G3686 and G2532 hast G720 ➔ not G3756 denied G720 my G3450 faith, G4102 even G2532 in G1722 those days G2250 wherein G1722 G3739 Antipas G493 was my G3450 faithful G4103 martyr, G3144 who G3739 was slain G615 among G3844 you, G5213 WHERE G3699 SATAN G4567 DWELLETH.

- WHAT ARE THE EVENTS THAT WILL LEAD UP TO THE START OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD?
- THE EVENTS WHICH ARE SIGNS LEADING INTO THE GREAT TRIBULATION
THE PHYSICAL SIGN OF THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION.
BUT WHAT IS THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION?
UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION AND THE VENTS LEADING UP TO THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION WILL HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THE SIGN OF THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD.
THE ORDER OF THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS AS FOLLOWS:
- THE THIRD TEMPLE WILL FIRST BE BUILT AT JERUSALEM EZEKEIL CHAPERS 40-48.
- THE DAILY SACRIFICE WILL BE RESUMED IN THE TEMPLE AT JERUSALEM
- THE DAILY SACRIFFICE WILL BE TAKEN AWAY AND JERUSALEM WILL BE COMPASSED WITH ARMIES WHICH IS THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION.
- WHAT IS THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION?
UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION AND THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION WILL HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THE SIGN OF THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD.
THE SPIRITUAL EVENT THAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN HEAVEN PRIOR TO THE GREAT TRIBULATION WILL BE A FINAL ATTEMPT OF SATAN AND HIS ANGELS TO OVERTHROWN THE THRONE OF GOD IN HEAVEN AND HE AND HIS ANGELS WILL BE FINALLY CAST OUT TO THE EARTH WITH NO MORE ACCESS.

G846
Rev 12:10 (KJV) 10 And G2532 I heard G191 a loud G3173 voice G5456 saying G3004 in G1722 heaven, G3772 Now G737 is come G1096 salvation, G4991 and G2532 strength, G1411 and G2532 the kingdom G932 of our G2257 God, G2316 and G2532 the power G1849 of his G846 Christ: G5547 for G3754 the accuser G2723 of our G2257 brethren G80 is cast down, G2598 which G3588 accused G2725 them G846 before G1799 our G2257 God G2316 day G2250 and G2532 night. G3571
Rev 12:11 (KJV) 11 And G2532 they G846 overcame G3528 him G846 by G1223 the blood G129 of the Lamb, G721 and G2532 by G1223 the word G3056 of their G846 testimony; G3141 and G2532 they loved G25 not G3756 their G846 lives G5590 unto G891 the death. G2288
Rev 12:12 (KJV) 12 Therefore G1223 G5124 rejoice, G2165 ye heavens, G3772 and G2532 ye that dwell G4637 in G1722 them. G846 Woe G3759 to the inhabiters G2730 of the earth G1093 and G2532 of the sea! G2281 FOR G3754 THE DEVIL G1228 IS COME DOWN G2597 UNTO G4314 YOU, G5209 HAVING G2192 GREAT G3173 WRATH, G2372 because he knoweth G1492 that G3754 he hath G2192 but a short G3641 time. G2540
Rev 12:13 (KJV) 13 And G2532 when G3753 the dragon G1404 saw G1492 that G3754 he was cast G906 unto G1519 the earth, G1093 HE PERSECUTED G1377 THE WOMAN G1135 WHICH G3748 BROUGHT FORTH G5088 THE MAN G730 CHILD.
THE PHYSICAL SIGN OF THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS WHEN WE SEE JERUSALEM COMPASSED WITH ARMIES AFTER THE FOLLOWING EVENTS:
- THE THIRD TEMPLE WILL FIRST BE BUILT AT JERUSALEM.
- THE DAILY SACRIFICE WILL BE RESUMED IN THE TEMPLE AT JERUSALEM
- THE DAILY SACRIFICE WILL BE TAKEN AWAY AND JERUSALEM WILL BE COMPASSED WITH ARMIES WHICH IS THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION.
THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION IS WHEN A PEOPLE OTHER THE NATION OF ISRAEL OCCUPIES THE CITY OF JERUSALEM WHICH IS THE CITY THAT BELONGS TO GOD. THIS IS DETESTABLE AND A TRANSGRESSION IN GOD’S SIGHT AND EVENTUALLY THE NATION OF ISRAEL WILL GO INTO CAPTIVITY.
NO OTHER NATION OTHER THAN ISRAEL IS IN A COVENANT WITH THE GOD OF ISRAEL TO OCCUPY THE CITY OF JERUSALEM.

WHAT DID JESUS CHRIST REVEAL ABOUT THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION LEADING UP TO THE GREAT TRIBULATION IN THE GOSPELS?
THE HOLY PLACE REFERS TO THE CITY OF JERUSALEM.
Matt 24:15 (KJV) When G3752 ye therefore G3767 shall see G1492 THE ABOMINATION G946 OF DESOLATION, G2050 SPOKEN OF G4483 BY G1223 DANIEL G1158 THE PROPHET, G4396 STAND G2476 G2476 IN G1722 THE HOLY G40 PLACE, G5117 (whoso readeth, G314 let him understand:) G3539
CHRIST EXPECTS US TO UNDERSTAND THE EVENTS OF THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION LEADING UP TO THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
Mar 13:14 (KJV) But G1161 when G3752 ye shall see G1492 THE ABOMINATION G946 OF DESOLATION, G2050 SPOKEN G4483 OF BY G5259 DANIEL G1158 THE PROPHET, G4396 STANDING G2476 G2476 WHERE G3699 IT OUGHT G1163 NOT, G3756 (LET HIM THAT READETH G314 UNDERSTAND,) G3539 then G5119 let them G5343 ➔ that be in G1722 Judaea G2449 flee G5343 to G1519 the mountains: G3735
THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION IS NEAR WHEN WE SEE JERUSALEM COMPASSED WITH ARMIES.
Luke 21:20 (KJV) And G1161 WHEN G3752 YE SHALL SEE G1492 JERUSALEM G2419 COMPASSED G2944 WITH G5259 ARMIES, G4760 THEN G5119 KNOW G1097 THAT G3754 THE DESOLATION G2050 THEREOF G846 IS NIGH. G1448
- WHAT IS THE GREAT TRIBULATION?
THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS SATAN’S WRATH OR VENGENCE AFTER THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL – THE TWELVE TRIBES STARTING FROM JERUSALEM WHERE THE TRIBES OF JUDAH, BENJIMAN AND THE LEVITES ARE CALLED THE JEWS TODAY; AND THEN UNTO THE REST OF ISRAEL AND THE TRUE SAINTS OF GOD AROUND THE WORLD.
THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS THE FIFTH SEAL OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION THAT WILL LAST A PERIOD OF THREE AND HALF YEARS.
- THE 5TH SEAL IS STATED IN REV 6:9-11
- DURATION OR PERIOD OF 3 ½ YEARS; 1260 DAYS OR 42 MONTHS: DAN 12:6-7; REV 11:1-3;
- A TIME OF PERSECUTION OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL: LUKE 21:22
- A TIME OF PERSECUTION OF THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD
- A TIME OF MAJOR SPIRITUAL DECEPTION: MATT 24:23-24.
- A TIME WHEN THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE PREACHED BY THE TWO WITNESSES OF GOD AROUND JERUSALEM: REV 11:3-12
UNDERSTANDING THE EVENTS OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION WILL HELP US PREPARE OUR HEARTS AND MINDS TO ENDURE THIS THREE AND HALF PERIOD UNTIL THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE SAINTS.
Rev 6:9-11 (KJV) 9 And G2532 when G3753 he had opened G455 THE FIFTH G3991 SEAL, G4973 I saw G1492 under G5270 the altar G2379 the souls G5590 of them that were slain G4969 for G1223 the word G3056 of God, G2316 and G2532 for G1223 the testimony G3141 which G3739 they held: G2192
Rev 6:10 (KJV) 10 And G2532 they cried G2896 with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 saying, G3004 How G2193 long, G4219 O Lord, G1203 holy G40 and G2532 true, G228 dost thou G2919 ➔ not G3756 judge G2919 and G2532 avenge G1556 our G2257 blood G129 on G575 them that dwell G2730 on G1909 the earth? G1093
Rev 6:11 (KJV) 11 And G2532 white G3022 robes G4749 were given G1325 unto every one of them; G1538 and G2532 it was said G4483 unto them, G846 that G2443 they should rest G373 yet G2089 for a little G3398 season, G5550 UNTIL G2193 THEIR G846 FELLOWSERVANTS G4889 ALSO G2532 AND G2532 THEIR G846 BRETHREN, G80 THAT SHOULD G3195 BE KILLED G615 AS G5613 G2532 THEY G846 WERE, SHOULD G3739 BE FULFILLED. G4137
IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL IT IS REVEALED THAT THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS A TIME OF TROUBLE.
Dan 12:1 (KJV) And at that time H6256 shall Michael H4317 stand up, H5975 the great H1419 prince H8269 which standeth H5975 for the children H1121 of thy people: H5971 and there shall be H1961 A TIME H6256 OF TROUBLE, H6869 such as never was since there was a nation H1471 even to that same time: H6256 and at that time H6256 thy people H5971 shall be delivered, H4422 every one that shall be found H4672 written H3789 in the book.

G2250 FOR G1063 THERE SHALL BE G2071 GREAT G3173 DISTRESS G318 IN G1909 THE LAND, G1093 AND G2532 WRATH G3709 UPON G1722 THIS G5129 PEOPLE. G2992

- WHAT DID JESUS CHRIST REVEAL ABOUT THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD?
JESUS CHRIST WARNED HIS SAINTS OF PROPHESIED COMING GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD UPON THE EARTH IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 24; MARK CHAPTER 13 AND LUKE 21 AND THE SPIRITUAL DECEPTION WHICH WILL OCCUR DURING THIS PERIOD BEFORE HIS RETURN.
Matt 24:21-26 (KJV) 21 For G1063 then G5119 shall be G2071 great G3173 tribulation, G2347 such as G3634 was G1096 not G3756 since G575 the beginning G746 of the world G2889 to this G2193 time, G3568 no, G3761 nor ever G3364 shall be. G1096

Matt 24:23 (KJV) 23 Then G5119 if G1437 any man G5100 shall say G2036 unto you, G5213 Lo, G2400 here G5602 is Christ, G5547 or G2228 there; G5602 believe G4100 it not. G3361
Matt 24:24 (KJV) 24 For G1063 there shall arise G1453 false Christs, G5580 and G2532 false prophets, G5578 and G2532 shall shew G1325 great G3173 signs G4592 and G2532 wonders; G5059 insomuch that, G5620 if G1487 it were possible, G1415 they shall deceive G4105 the very G2532 elect. G1588

Mar 13:19-26 (KJV) 19 For G1063 in those G1565 days G2250 shall be G2071 affliction, G2347 such G5108 as G3634 was G1096 not G3756 from G575 the beginning G746 of the creation G2937 which G3739 God G2316 created G2936 unto G2193 this time, G3568 neither G2532 G3364 shall be. G1096

G4137
- WHAT IS THE DECEPTION AGAINST THE TRUTH OF THE COMING GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD REVEALED BY JESUS CHRIST?
JESUS CHRIST SET THE ORDER OF THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE GREAT TRIBULATION; DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
THE DECEPTION AGAINST THE TIMING OF THE TRUTH OF THE COMING GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD UPON THE WORLD IS SATAN’S STRATEGY AGAINST THE SAINTS OF GOD TO BE SPIRITUALLY UNPREPARED FOR THIS TIME AFTER HE IS CAST OUT TO THE EARTH.
THIS DECEPTION PROMOTES THE TEACHING THAT THE SAINTS OF GOD WILL BE IN A RAPTURED OR “SNATCHED AWAY” BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD BY THE USE OF THE SCRIPTURES IN MATTHEW 24:40-41 AND 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16-17.
THESE SCRIPTURES ARE INTERPRETED TO MEAN THAT THE SAINTS WILL BE CAUGHT UP PRIVATELY FROM THE EARTH WITHOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE CONTRARY TO JESUS CHRIST ORDER OF EVENTS IN MATTHEW 24.
1Thess 4:17 (KJV) Then G1899 we G2249 which G3588 are alive G2198 and remain G4035 SHALL BE CAUGHT UP G726 together G260 with G4862 them G846 in G1722 the clouds, G3507 to G1519 meet G529 the Lord G2962 in G1519 the air: G109 and G2532 so G3779 shall we G2071 ➔ ever G3842 be G2071 with G4862 the Lord. G2962
MANY BELIEVE THE TIMING OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS TO BE BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND NOT AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
JESUS CHRIST CLEARLY REVEALED THAT THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS AND THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE WILL OCCUR AFTER THE GREAT TRIBIULATION AND NOT BEFORE.
- THE GREAT TRIBULATION
Matt 24:21-22 (KJV) 21 For G1063 THEN G5119 SHALL BE G2071 GREAT G3173 TRIBULATION, G2347 such as G3634 was G1096 not G3756 since G575 the beginning G746 of the world G2889 to this G2193 time, G3568 no, G3761 nor ever G3364 shall be. G109
Matt 24:22 (KJV) 22 And G2532 except G1508 those G1565 days G2250 should be shortened, G2856 there G3756 should G302 no G3956 flesh G4561 be saved: G4982 BUT G1161 FOR G1223 THE ELECT’S SAKE G1588 THOSE G1565 DAYS G2250 SHALL BE SHORTENED. G2856
- AFTER THE GREAT TRBULATION THERE WILL BE HEAVENLY SIGNS INDICATING THAT JESUS CHRIST IS ABOUT TO RETURN FOR THE SAINTS OF GOD.
Matt 24:29-31 (KJV) 29 IMMEDIATELY G1161 G2112 AFTER G3326 THE TRIBULATION G2347 of those G1565 days G2250 shall the sun G2246 be darkened, G4654 and G2532 the moon G4582 shall G1325 ➔ not G3756 give G1325 her G846 light, G5338 and G2532 the stars G792 shall fall G4098 from G575 heaven, G3772 and G2532 the powers G1411 of the heavens G3772 shall be shaken: G4531
Matt 24:30 (KJV) 30 And G2532 THEN G5119 SHALL APPEAR G5316 THE SIGN G4592 OF THE SON G5207 OF MAN G444 IN G1722 HEAVEN: G3772 and G2532 then G5119 shall G2875 ➔ all G3956 the tribes G5443 of the earth G1093 mourn, G2875 and G2532 they shall see G3700 the Son G5207 of man G444 coming G2064 in G1909 the clouds G3507 of heaven G3772 with G3326 power G1411 and G2532 great G4183 glory. G1391
Matt 24:31 (KJV) 31 And G2532 HE SHALL SEND G649 HIS G846 ANGELS G32 WITH G3326 A GREAT G3173 SOUND G5456 OF A TRUMPET, G4536 AND G2532 THEY SHALL GATHER TOGETHER G1996 HIS G846 ELECT G1588 from G1537 the four G5064 winds, G417 from G575 one end G206 of heaven G3772 to G2193 the other. G206 G846
- THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS AND THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE CAUGHT UP WITH JESUS CHRIST IN THE AIR AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
THE TIMING OF THE EVENT IN MATTHEW 24:40-41 IS ALSO DECEPTIVELY MISUNDERSTOOD TO BE BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND NOT AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD ACCORDING TO THE PROPHECY OF JESUS CHRIST.
ONLY AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION WILL THE SAINTS WHICH ARE ALIVE SHALL BE CAUGHT UP IN THE AIR WITH THE RESURRECTED SAINTS AT THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
Matt 24:40-41 (KJV) 40 Then G5119 shall G2071 ➔ two G1417 be G2071 in G1722 the field; G68 THE ONE G1520 SHALL BE TAKEN, G3880 and G2532 the other G1520 left. G863
Matt 24:41 (KJV) 41 Two G1417 women shall be grinding G229 at G1722 the mill; G3459 THE ONE G3391 SHALL BE TAKEN, G3880 and G2532 the other G3391 left. G863
- WHAT IS THE MAJOR OR GREAT DECEPTION DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD REVEALED BY JESUS CHRIST?
THERE IS ALSO BE A MAJOR SPIRITUAL DECEPTION DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD AGAINST THE LAW OF GOD WHICH IS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH AND WHICH ARE THE WORDS OF THE NEW COVENANT.
SATAN WILL BE THE INFLUENCER BEHIND THIS MAJOR SPIRITUAL DECEPTION TO ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE LAWS AND TIMES AND WILL DECEIVE OTHERS WITH SIGN AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES DURING THE THREE AND HALF YEARS (TIME, TIMES AND THE DIVIDING OF TIME) GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD.
Dan 7:25 (KJV) And HE SHALL SPEAK H4449 GREAT WORDS H4406 AGAINST H6655 THE MOST HIGH, H5943 and SHALL WEAR OUT H1080 THE SAINTS H6922 OF THE MOST HIGH, H5946 and THINK H5452 TO CHANGE H8133 TIMES H2166 AND LAWS: H1882 and they shall be given H3052 into his hand H3028 until H5705 A TIME H5732 AND TIMES H5732 AND THE DIVIDING H6387 OF TIME. H5732
SATAN IS THE GOD OF THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD UNTIL THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE EARTH.
2 Cor 4:3-4 (KJV) 3 But G1161 if G1499 our G2257 gospel G2098 be G2076 hid, G2572 it is G2076 hid G2572 to G1722 them that are lost: G622
2 Cor 4:4 (KJV) 4 In G1722 whom G3739 the god G2316 of this G5127 world G165 hath blinded G5186 the minds G3540 of them which believe not, G571 lest G1519 G3361 the light G5462 of the glorious G1391 gospel G2098 of Christ, G5547 who G3739 is G2076 the image G1504 of God, G2316 should shine G826 unto them. G846
JUST AS SATAN ENTERED THE HEART OF JUDAS TO BETRAY CHRIST DURING HIS THREE AND HALF YEARS MINISTRY ON THE EARTH; SO HE WOULD DECEIVE A SON PERDITION TO DECEIVE THE NATIONS OF THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD AND IF POSSIBLE EVEN THE VERY ELECT.
2 Thess 2:3-10 (KJV) 3 Let G1818 ➔ no G3361 man G5100 deceive G1818 you G5209 by G2596 any G3367 means: G5158 for G3754 that day shall not come, except G3362 there come G2064 a falling away G646 first, G4412 and G2532 that man G444 of sin G266 be revealed, G601 the son G5207 of perdition; G684

HOW DO WE OVERCOME THIS MAJOR SPIRITUAL DECEPTION?
WE CANNOT LOVE OUR LIVES IN THIS WORLD EVEN UNTO DEATH.
WE MUST CONTINUE TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH AND HAVE THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST.

THOSE WHO ARE DOING THE WORK OF GOD BY DECLARING THE TRUE GOSPEL MESSAGE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND ARE BEING TRANSFORMED BY THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY WILL BE SPIRITUALLY PREPARED TO ESCAPE THE MAJOR DECEPTION DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD.
GOD ALONE ALSO DETERMINES WHO WILL PHYSICALY ESCAPE THE GREAT TRBULATION PERIOD.

- WHY ARE THERE TWO WITNESSESS IN THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD?
THE TWO WITNESSESS WILL BE DECLARING THE TRUE GOSPEL MESSAGE OF THE COMING KINGDOM OF GOD TO THE WORLD DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD.
GOD ALWAYS HOLD TO HIS WORD AND THE BIBLE HAS A LOT TO SAY OF THE CONFIRMATION OF THE WORD OF GOD BY TWO OR MORE WITNESSESS.
Deut 17:6 (KJV) AT THE MOUTH H6310 OF TWO H8147 WITNESSES, H5707 OR THREE H7969 WITNESSES, H5707 shall he that is worthy of death H4191 be put to death; H4191 but at the mouth H6310 of one H259 witness H5707 he shall not be put to death. H4191

Rev 11:5 (KJV) 5 And G2532 if any man G1536 G846 will G2309 hurt G91 them, G846 fire G4442 proceedeth G1607 out of G1537 their G846 mouth, G4750 and G2532 devoureth G2719 their G846 enemies: G2190 and G2532 if any man G1536 will G2309 hurt G91 them, G846 he must G1163 in this manner G3779 be killed.

ACCORDING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT, JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED AT A SPOT OUTSIDE JERUSALEM CALLED GOLGOTHA, WHICH IN ARAMAIC MEANS “PLACE OF THE SKULL OR AT A LOCATION OF A SKULL SHAPED HILL.” THE LATIN WORD FOR SKULL IS CALVARIA, AND IN ENGLISH MANY CHRISTIANS REFER TO THE SITE OF THE CRUCIFIXION AS CALVARY.
THIS SKULL SHAPED HILL OF EXECUTION WAS OUTSIDE THE CITY WALLS OF JERUSALEM, APPARENTLY NEAR A ROAD AND NOT FAR FROM THE SEPULCHRE WHERE JESUS WAS BURIED.

G1093
Rev 11:11 (KJV) 11 And G2532 AFTER G3326 THREE G5140 DAYS G2250 AND G2532 AN HALF G2255 THE SPIRIT G4151 OF LIFE G2222 FROM G1537 GOD G2316 ENTERED G1525 INTO G1909 THEM, G846 and G2532 they stood G2476 upon G1909 their G846 feet; G4228 and G2532 great G3173 fear G5401 fell G4098 upon G1909 them which saw G2334 them.

- WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE 2300 DAYS IN DANIEL 8:11-14?
MANY ARE IGNORANT TO THE TRUTH THAT A THIRD TEMPLE WILL BE BUILT BY THE JEWS IN JERUSALEM BEFORE THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST AS DESCRIBED IN EZEKEIL CHAPTERS 40-48.
IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL CHAPTER 8:11-14 WE SEE THAT THE DAILY SACRIFICE WHICH AS ESTABLISHED ONCE AGAIN IN THE THIRD TEMPLE OF GOD IN JERUSALEM WILL BE TAKEN AWAY OR ENDED BY A FOREIGN HOST OR PEOPLE THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL.
UNDERSTANDING THE 2300 DAYS MENTIONED IN DANIEL CHAPTER 8:11-14 WIIL HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THE TIMING OF THE EVENTS AT THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN JERUSALEM; THE LEADING UP TO THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD AND AFTER THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST TO HIS TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.
THE PROPHECY OF THE DAILY SACRIFICE BEING TAKEN AWAY UNTIL THE SANCTUARY OF THE TEMPLE IS CLEANSED; WHICH WILL ONLY OCCUR AFTER THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST IN POWER AND GLORY TO JERUSALEM TO SET UP HIS RULE.
Dan 8:11-14 (KJV) 11 Yea, he magnified H1431 himself even to the prince H8269 of the host, H6635 and by him THE DAILY H8548 SACRIFICE WAS TAKEN AWAY, H7311 H7311 and THE PLACE H4349 OF HIS SANCTUARY H4720 WAS CAST DOWN. H7993
Dan 8:12 (KJV) 12 And AN HOST H6635 WAS GIVEN H5414 HIM AGAINST THE DAILY H8548 SACRIFICE BY REASON OF TRANSGRESSION, H6588 and it cast down H7993 the truth H571 to the ground; H776 and it practised, H6213 and prospered. H6743
Dan 8:13 (KJV) 13 Then I heard H8085 one H259 saint H6918 speaking, H1696 and another H259 saint H6918 said H559 unto that certain H6422 saint which spake, H1696 HOW LONG SHALL BE THE VISION H2377 CONCERNING THE DAILY H8548 SACRIFICE, AND THE TRANSGRESSION H6588 OF DESOLATION, H8074 TO GIVE H5414 BOTH THE
SANCTUARY H6944 and THE HOST H6635 TO BE TRODDEN UNDER FOOT? H4823

G3376
FROM THE TIME WHEN THE DAILY SACRIFICE IS TAKEN AWAY OR ENDED FROM THE JEWS UNTIL THE SANCTUARY IS CLEANSED IS 2300 DAYS.
THE SANCTUARY OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN JERUSALEM IS THE HOLY PLACE WHERE THE LEVITE PRIEST ENTER DAILY TO OFFER SACRIFICES TO GOD.
JESUS CHRIST WILL CLEANSE THE THIRD TEMPLE AFTER HIS RETURN TO JERUSALEM AT THE MOUNT OF OLIVES – HE WILL REMOVE ALL PROFANITY FROM HIS SANCTUARY.

CONCLUSION
THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS A PERIOD UPON THE EARTH IN WHICH THERE WILL BE MAJOR SPIRITUAL DECEPTION AND PERSECUTION UPON THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD AND THE NATION OF ISRAEL INFLUENCED BY SATAN AND HIS ANGELS PRIOR TO THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
THIS IS A 1260 DAYS OR 3 ½ YEARS OR 42 MONTHS PERIOD.
DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD; A PLACE OF SAFETY WILL BE PROVIDED FOR THOSE WHO GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST ALONE WILL CHOSE.
THE FOCAL POINT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS LAND OF CANAAN AT JERUSALEM WHICH IS THE CITY OF GOD AND WHICH BELONGS TO GOD AND WAS GIVEN ONLY TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL.
DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD THE TRUE GOSPEL MESSAGE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WILL BE PREACHED BY THE TWO WITNESSES FROM JERUSALEM.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT JESUS CHRIST WILL RETURN WITH THE SAINTS OF GOD IN POWER AND GLORY – THOSE BELONGING TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – TO RULE AND RESTORE ALL THINGS FROM JERUSALEM INTO ALL THE WORLD.
