The Great Tribulation and the Resurrection
The great tribulation is soon coming upon us. The four horsemen are described in the Bible: the white horse represents the false prophets, red horse represents war, black horse represents famine, and the pale horse, death, and Hades represents pestilence. All prophecies about the great tribulation thousands of years ago, approximately two thousand years ago or more, and some Bible prophecies have come to pass and some are in the process now right before our eyes.For instance, now the Euphrates river in the Middle East is drying up, which was spoken in the book of Revelation. This is setup for the two hundred million soldiers crossing over to do battle in World War III to fight the Antichrist and his armies in the great Euphrates River around the Persian Gulf region. Bible prophecies are coming to pass week by week right before our eyes according to Matthew 24, but the major events will happen sometime in the near future World War III and Armageddon nuclear war, before the millennium and the new heaven and earth will happen. Matthews 24:22 states and excepts those days should be shortened. There should no flesh to be saved, but for the elects' sake, those days shall be shortened. Yes, Jesus Christ shall intervene in mankind's deadly situation. Jesus Christ will stop mankind from destroying all people's lives from a nuclear holocaust. I explained some of this in the beginning of my book. The people who are left on earth, this is when Jesus Christ will start the millennium with his saints. Jerusalem will be the place where Jesus Christ and his saints, who will become kings and priest, will teach the nations how to live in peace; and the people will be taught God's commandments, laws, and statutes they should obey. All the prophets and saints from the ancient times in the Bible will be resurrected, teaching the nations how to live for Christ (Revelation 5:10, 3:21, 22:5, 2:27, 1:6, 20:6; Ezekiel 44:23; Zechariah 14:16-19; Isaiah 2:1-4). After the millennium is over, the second resurrection will take place. This is called the great white throne, where those from centuries ago who never had a chance to hear about Jesus Christ will get their chance to accept him as there Lord and Savior to have eternal life with him. They will have one hundred years to serve Jesus Christ (Isaiah 65:20). After this, judgment seat will happen. Those who would not accept God and our Lord Jesus Christ will perish in the lake of fire (2 Peter 3:10-13). God will burn up the heaven and earth. Revelation 21 says there will be a new heaven and earth. Jerusalem will be the center place of where Jesus Christ will reign. The Bible indicates that we will have an increase of disasters to prove that we are in the last days and an increase of crime, tornadoes, and hurricane disasters. Earthquakes in diver places race wars (riots) will happen more and more during the latter days. The world will be in completely disobedience toward God. Men will be wicked and coldhearted toward other men. It's very important to read Luke 21:36-38 and pray that you will be worthy to escape these things. Finally, watch the world news and read the newspapers that will give you some sort of indication on what events has happened and what is about to take place next by comparing everything by studying your Bible. This will give the person an idea where we are and how close we are for the great tribulation. Get close to God by staying in prayer, and he will tell you what to do to prepare for the great tribulation. The Bible indicates in the latter days (end times), which we are in now.
