Remember this screenshot? Yes, this is the one from a few posts down from the movie Kingsman: The Golden Circle. I will use it as the focal point for this post about the tribulation years. 91. Wicked Judgment. 9:11 we know is a call to pray, a call to decree the things that heaven wants verses what darkness wants. Even though we know that there is evil in this world, it is our job to intercede, to pray. Know this. Mathew 18:18 says "“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." That's our charge.
I have been studying in Revelation lately. Things about the tribulation years. I wondered if just like we have God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit, would the enemy possibly do a copycat of the Holy Trinity. I was like hmmm. The evil spirit of the antichrist, the son or the antichrist who will offer a solution of world peace, and who would be the father? Then the Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance about satan being the father of lies as in John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." Then I said to myself, well that would make him the father. He would be the head of the trinity. Let's go over some Bible verses and description: Revelation 12:3 & 9 - "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." 9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." The great red dragon is satan. Revelation 13:1-8; 18 - "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." The beast rising out of the sea is the antichrist, who will have power given by the enemy, people will worship him. Revelation 13:11-17 - "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." The beast coming out of the earth is the false prophet (who I was referring to as the spirit of the antichrist), he will perform powers, sounds like divination, sorcery, he will get people to worship the beast during the latter half of the tribulation years (referred to as the great tribulation).. to take the mark in their right hand, or in their forehead, to worship the beast or be killed. (He could be the false prophet mentioned in Revelation 16:13 " And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.") ; and Revelation 16:14 "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." I am thinking the rapture of the church will be before the great tribulation, or before the latter half of the tribulation years. The Seals: Let's talk about the seals to end this post. The first seal, is false prophets.. those who will come in the name of the Lord, claiming to be Christ, but are not, but deceivers. Revelation 6:1-2 describes this "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer." ;The second seal is war. We may hear talk of wars, but these things must come to pass; the tribulation period is 7 years total, the beginning looks like the first 4 seals -- the fifth seal is the great tribulation, when the red dragon, the beast, and the false prophet show themselves (their true nature), and turn against Israel, and get everyone to take the mark and worship. **In the beginning of the tribulation period the antichrist is friends to Israel. ***The sixth seal (heavenly signs) and seventh seal (God's wrath, the seven trumpets) I will discuss in the next post soon.. I will also talk about the super moons, and blood moons that we have been seeing since last year. This is a breakdown of the tribulation years. That last line about the antichrist being friends to Israel in the beginning makes me wonder about Jerusalem and the U.S., and the ruling from the UN on December 21st which rejected recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's captial. Something is happening ya'll. I saw 4:23pm on my cell and laptop when typing that last part. Remember our charge to pray. "..The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16)
