37 Things That Happen During The Tribulation

Hey everybody, thanks for joining us today. We are going to be going at warp speed, 30,000 foot flyover of the tribulation period. A lot of people are asking questions. In fact, many podcasts are going on. Many people have their opinions. Many people are having putting, you know, their input in, which is great, of course. But the bottom line is the Bible has already written this stuff out. And so I just thought it'd be good for you and I to, because time doesn't allow us to do extensive, I'm going to ask you to do this, please. I'm going to cover a lot of topics that I hope that you take this recording, keep it, and take 1, 2, 3, 21, 27. 30. Each of these topics, take one, hit pause, dive into it in your own Bible study with your own investigation. Don't listen to people. Don't listen to me. Go and see if the Bible is saying what you are hearing and become very familiar with the scriptures. And here's the number one reason why. It's always a win-win, but you will land in a place where you are firm and you are confident in your eschatology, in your understanding of the future events of Bible prophecy. It's called eschatology. And so here we're going to go because I think they're only giving me 58 minutes right now to do this. And so we're going to do the best we can. Number one, the seven-year tribulation period. The seven-year tribulation period begins at some moment, some hour, some month, some year, or some years after the rapture. Mark that down. Number one, the rapture of the church will take place, which most scholars, I happen to agree, will kick off the time sequencing or the countdown of when the tribulation period begins. Meaning, after the church is raptured, then the Bible tells us the Antichrist will be revealed. We don't know when. We don't know how quickly after. But mark this down. John chapter 14, verses 1, 2, and 3. 1 Thessalonians 4, verses 13 through 18. 1 Corinthians 15, verses 50 to 51. And I would just also insert 2 Corinthians. Thessalonians chapter 2 and just read the first, I'd say the first 10 verses. I would add that. That's number one, everybody. The tribulation period begins with a prerequisite. The prerequisite is the rapture of the church. So number one is number one, but technically number two is number one for the tribulation itself. It's highly possible that during the tribulation time up front, the front end, it's very, very possible. A lot of scholars debate this, which is great. I love it because it's Isaiah 17, verse 1. Yeah. do not know when Isaiah 17, 1 is going to happen, but it's going to happen because it has to happen because it's never happened before. What is that? Damascus must be destroyed, utterly destroyed, the Bible says in Isaiah chapter 17, beginning at verse 1, in such a way that no one will ever live there again. Does that happen just into the tribulation period or just before the tribulation period? Does it happen after the rapture but before the tribulation period? We don't know, but we know this, that Isaiah chapter 17, much like number three, is in, near, or around the rapture period of time and the rapture period. the advent of the seven-year tribulation period. Point being, no matter what your view is, is wow, are we close to something kicking off. That's for sure. So we're going to write down for number two, the destruction of Damascus, Isaiah 17, beginning at verse one. Number three is going to be Gog and Magog. Scholars argue, is it before the rapture? Is it before the tribulation period? Or is it after the rapture and being something that is just right after the the tribulation commencement where Israel is given the seven-year peace treaty, is that when they relax, but then the Ezekiel battle takes place. Again, we don't know for sure, but we know we are close. How do we know? Because since May 14th, 1948, God started a stopwatch, and that was the rebirth of the nation forever. A lot of people want to argue about, is Israel actually a nation? Don't waste your breath. Stop sucking up valuable air. Israel is a nation. God said that he would bring them back into their own land, within their own borders, while they are in unbelief, because they won't believe in him until after the Ezekiel battle. chapter 38. But Israel is legit, folks. Once they became an actual real nation in the world on May 14th, 1948, by the way, Isaiah 66 says that Israel would be born again a second time as a nation in one day. Isaiah 66 tells us this. So that's pretty remarkable. Number three, the Gog and Magog battle of Ezekiel 38 and 39. Make sure you mark that down. Number four, the appearance or revelation of the Antichrist. 2 Thessalonians 2, verse 3, in correlation with Revelation 13, beginning with verses 1 and 2. And by the way, can I throw this in? Basically, the whole book of Daniel. You're going to want to read that as well. Number four is the appearance of the Antichrist. It's pretty clear to me that the Antichrist cannot be made known until the church is out of the way. And again, you'll get that out of 2 Thessalonians 2. Number five, a global religious system will arise over the entire earth itself. In other words, a unified religion of religions. the ultimate kumbaya of all the religions and belief systems of the world. Now, let me insert my opinion, not that it matters. I personally believe that atheism is a religion. I think then and only then will atheists... And those who claim to believe in gods and God will come together in a big hug fest. And it's just going to be super duper. And that is going to be number five. That is found in Revelation 17. Babylon, the religious system. Revelation chapter 17, verses 3 and 6, 3 through 6 most specifically. But Revelation 17 is the rise of a global religion. Some have even been so bold to call it the rise of a false religious global church. That's interesting. Number six, Antichrist signs a seven-year peace treaty with the nation of Israel and her leadership officially beginning the 70th week of Daniel found in Daniel chapter 9 verses 24 to 27, which I agree with Dr. John Wolvard who is now in heaven. Dr. John Wolvard said that Daniel chapter 9 verses 24 to 27 is the holy of holies of Bible prophecy. If you don't get Daniel 9 verses 24 to 27 right, then everything else is wrong. And that is true about Bible prophecy. So number six, the seven-year treaty, seven years of Israel's leadership signing a contract deal with the leader of a global treaty. government system who has the authority to sign a seven-year treaty with Israel and its neighbors. This Antichrist individual will do that. Number seven, the... Reconstruction or the rechristening or the christening, I should say, of a newly rebuilt temple. Because the Bible says in Revelation chapter 11 and Matthew chapter 24, the Olivet Discourse, which Matthew 24 is written to Jews who believe at that time, about... unbelievers who do not believe, and Jews who do not believe. So that's the Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24 and Revelation 11. Temple sacrifices will begin again. It's amazing to think. Temple sacrifices will start again in Jerusalem. That means there's got to be a temple. for temple sacrifices to begin. That's number seven. Number eight, the two witnesses will begin prophesying their prophesied message taken out of Revelation chapter 11, verses three and four. Wow. God is going to send to the earth two witnesses that are going to preach the gospel and be a witness to the world, but they, listen, they don't pop up in Malibu, they don't pop up in New York or Beijing. They pop up in Jerusalem. says the Bible. That's number eight. Number nine, number nine, Jews will begin to come to the Messiah through the ministry of the 144,000. That's found in Revelation 7 verses one through eight and Joel chapter two verses 28 and 29. This is cool because 144,000 Jews who speak Hebrew and who are 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes, they're virgins and they're all men, equaling 144,000, they will be incredibly gifted with the gift of evangelism, not to mention, imagine, I'm assuming, some sort of Technology will be available for them. Can you imagine? What kind of Zoom calls they can do? What kind of streaming they'll be able to do? But 144,000 spirit-filled Jews, like Paul the Apostle, 144,000 will preach the gospel to the world. John said the number of their converts, nobody could count them. Wow. That's so cool. That's going to be amazing. And those will be people coming to faith after the church is gone, but before the tribulation period ends. That's number nine. Number 10, many non-Jews also will become converted, as I mentioned a moment ago, and will be severely persecuted unto death. Revelation chapter 5, verses 9 through 11. Revelation chapter 7, verses 9 through 17. A mass global persecution of believers. Now, folks, listen up. These are believers in Yahshua. These are believers in Jesus. They're not members of the church. They're not Old Testament saints. They're not church age saints. They are tribulation saints. That's important for you to mark that down. They are completely different than the church. They don't have any relationship with the church at all. The church was born on the day of Pentecost, and The church will enter into her glory on the day of the rapture, and the believers after the rapture will be tribulation age saints. That said, there's Old Testament saints, church age saints, tribulation age saints. You could press it. There's going to be saints during the millennium. There'll be believers at that time, but we're not talking about that yet. Okay, that was number 10. Number 11 is about the middle part of the tribulation period. I shouldn't say about. It's actually pretty specific. 1,260 days into the tribulation period, there's going to be a tremendous situation that goes on with the Antichrist. He's going to apparently appear to be assassinated. Does he really die? We don't know. The reason why I say I don't know is because I don't know if Satan can resurrect the dead. Or... the Antichrist really assassinated and God resurrects them. I don't know. I'm going to go with this. Right now, I'm going with what the Bible talks to us about. And by the way, I'm sorry, there's an Old Testament reference that I'm forgetting, but it's Revelation 13 verses 3 through 4. But it's either Zechariah. I think it's Zechariah. Don't quote me on that, but you can search it and see that's your homework. where it's going to talk about the idol shepherd, I-D-O-L, idol shepherd who misleads Israel. And it says that he's going to appear to receive a mortal head wound. His right arm will be wounded and his right eye will go blind. but he will rise up and the world will wonder at him and worship him. And that is Revelation 13 verses 3 and 4. Number 12, number 12. The Antichrist and his 10 kings will make war against the global religious system. That is found in Revelation 17 verses 16 through 18. Let me elaborate. The Antichrist... will have 10 rulers that he is influencing. Out of the 10, he's going to see that three of them are more influential than the other seven. He's referred to as the 11th. Interesting. There's 10, but he's messing around with the 10th. And he winds up overcoming three that are most prominent. Then he takes control over the lot, the bunch. And when he does that, he is going to now realize, I've used this religious system, this false system. I don't have need for this thing anymore. And he destroys it. Revelation 17 verses 16 through 18. He is also referred to or known as the beast who is riding on, or I should say this religious system is riding on the back of the beast. He is the beast. She's riding on the back. He's going to turn on her and destroy her. Read Revelation chapter 17. Number 13, the Antichrist will enter Jerusalem with an army. Mark all these down. He's going to wind up coming into Jerusalem with an army. Daniel chapter 11 verses 39 and 45. Joel chapter 2 verses 1 through 11. Zechariah chapter 14 verses 1 and 2. Revelation chapter 11 verse 2. Again, that is the Antichrist will enter into Jerusalem with an army to flex his muscle. Remember when we say Antichrist, we're not talking about a guy running around with like fangs hanging out of his mouth and horns on his head and he's wearing tight underwear. He is going to be the most remarkable, savvy, smooth-talking, brilliant, amazing political mind the world has ever seen. Of course, his political mind will be Satan living his life. life through this man, this individual, Satan will possess him. It's amazing. Number 14, the Antichrist will slay the two witnesses we heard about earlier. He will stop the sacrifices in the temple. He'll cause them to cease. And he's going to enter into the Holy of Holies and declare himself to be God. Man, that's a lot, right? That's a mouthful. Let me read it again before I give you the references. The Antichrist is going to slay the two witnesses and But hey, heads up, it ain't going to last long. We'll read more of this in a moment. He's going to stop the sacrifices that are taking place at the temple. That's in the midpoint, by the way, right in the middle. 1,260 days into the seven-year tribulation period. Three and a half years, excuse me, three and a half years into it. He's going to stop it. He's going to enter the Holy of Holies like Antiochus Epiphanes did. He's going to do the same. But this time he's going to declare himself to be God and the world is going to go nuts. They're going to love him for it. But the Jew is going to wake up and realize, oh my gosh, boy, did we make a mistake. Here's the citations. Write them down. Revelation 11, verses 7 through 10. Daniel 9, 27. Daniel 7, verse 25. Daniel 11, verse 36. 2 Thessalonians 2, verse 4. Revelation 13, verses 5 and 6. Very important. Number 15. The false prophet introduces the image, that is the image of the beast, and the mark of the beast. The false prophet, so there's, watch. There's the Antichrist, There's the false prophet and there's the image of the beast. So think of it as an unholy trinity. So that's Daniel 11 verse 31. Matthew 24 verse 15. Please remember Matthew 24 has nothing to do with Christians. Okay. I don't know why people get confused about that. Matthew 24 is the Olivet Discourse. It has nothing to do with Christians. It has everything to do with Jews, Israel, and an unbelieving world. Revelation, oh, did I say that, by the way? Did I say that right? I did, right? I said Matthew 24, 15. Revelation 15, 13. Revelation chapter 13, verses, sorry. Revelation 13, verses 11 to 18. Number 16, the Jews, they begin to flee into the wilderness towards Petra, which is in Jordan today, where they are protected from the Antichrist. This is amazing prophecy. Sorry. Isaiah 16, verses 1 through 5. Micah 2, verse 12. Daniel 11, verse 12. Verse 41, again, the Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24, verses 24 to, I think, 28, if I have that right. Revelation 12, verses 13 to 16. Number 17. Angels will begin to preach, at least we know this twice, angels will begin to preach the everlasting gospel over the entire globe. And you can read about that at least in one spot, is here in Revelation 14, verses 6 through 11. Number 18. The resurrection and rapture of the two witnesses. That's right. Remember I told you a moment ago back in, where was that? You know better than I do. What did I say? Number 14. So this is fun. I read you number 14. That's when he kills them. The Antichrist will have the two witnesses killed. Their bodies are going to lie dead in the streets of Jerusalem for, hmm, How many days do you think would be a good day, good count of days to have somebody be dead for and then resurrected? You got it. Three days. After three days, the believers who, I lost my point. Where am I at? I lost my, hang on. I'll get it. This is what happens if you don't drink enough coffee. 18, number 18, resurrection and rapture of the two witnesses. That's found in Revelation 11, 11 to 13. Revelation chapter 11, verses 11 to 13. They're going to stand up on their feet, it says, and they're going to ascend. Number 19, number 19, other nations begin to make war. That's right, against the Antichrist. That's in Daniel 11, verses 40 to 43. Let me say this because it needs to be said. The Antichrist will attempt to rule the entire world. He will come close, but he's not going to get everybody. Book of Daniel and the book of Revelation teach us that there will be nations that will rise up against him. It's very important. In fact, did you know this? Oh, I don't want to get a hold of the game. Hopefully, I'll remember to come back to this. But I'll just drop this out there now in case I forget. Go and look and see what causes this. The gathering for the Battle of Armageddon, what's the cause of it? That's the question. What causes the nations of the earth to gather together in Har-Mageddon, Megiddo? That's a great question. You should know the answer. It's a very fun answer. What causes the nations to gather together from all around the world in the Valley of Armageddon? You're going to love it. I just hope I remember it by the time we get to the end. And so, number 20. Intense persecution will begin against the Jewish people, specifically the Jews. Jeremiah 30, verse 7. Zechariah chapter 13, verse 8. And of course, you know that when that happens... The Bible tells us that the Antichrist will send forth an army to destroy the Jews that are fleeing as they head into the wilderness of Petra. And God will open up a great... cavity of some sorts, and swallow the flood of that army coming after the Jews. That's number 20. Number 21, believers who resist the Antichrist and the mark of the beast are persecuted by being beheaded. Fascinating. Is there a correlation? With the Antichrist and Islam? I don't think so. I know I'm an outlier on that one. I only speculate, this is my speculation, because a lot of people say that the Antichrist is going to be a Muslim, but I don't think the Jews will accept an Antichrist, Messiah, who's a Muslim? I can't imagine that happening. I think Islam will be destroyed before the Antichrist rises, to be honest with you. Because Islam would never allow the Antichrist to take charge. Islam's never going to allow the Antichrist to build a temple for the Jews? Come on. I think somehow they're going to, Islam's going to be destroyed. Somehow by the Antichrist or somehow before the Antichrist. But they're not going to, look, when you read what the Bible says about the Antichrist, I cannot see Islam allowing that to happen. Thus, Islam... has no Bible. So they have no promises. And so as obscure as they arrived, like old cults, so just as obscure they'll go away, like cults. But I just find it interesting, beheading. Beheading's been the most intimidating mode of conquering for long before Islam was ever invented. You know that, right? So, but Revelation 12 verse 7 says, Revelation 13, verse 7 through 10. Revelation 20, verse 4. Number 22. Gentile believers will come to the aid of persecuted Jews. This is a good one. This is an often overlooked attribute, characteristic sequence of the tribulation period. Born again. Born again. Gentiles during the tribulation period, they are going to come and help as much as is possible the persecuted Jewish believers. How do we know that? Jesus talks about that in Matthew chapter 25, verses 37 to 40. Matthew 25, verses 37 to 40. Number 23. Near or towards the end of the seven-year tribulation period, armies from the north and the east of the Antichrist location will come against him. As he's headquartered in Israel, they're going to come from the east, they're going to come from the north, and they're going to march on his forces. Here's what I was getting to. In the valley of Megiddo. And they're going to collide there. Daniel 11, verse 44, Revelation 16, verses 12 to 16. Antichrist is going to be making his mischief in the glorious land. Bible tells us. He's going to hear evil tidings. He's going to hear troubling news of an army coming from the east. Excuse me. And... And from the north and from the south, like a pincher movement. And they're going to collide in what would be the most massive world war that could ever possibly be. That's going to happen in the tribulation period. It's very, very important. Listen to this. Number 25 says, the city of Babylon will be judged at that time. Revelation 16, verse 19, and Revelation chapter 18. And about that time, Jerusalem will be overwhelmed by enemy armies, but the Jewish inhabitants will launch a fierce counterattack in some way, shape, or form. And you can read about that in Zechariah chapter 12. Man, this, I mean, it's just crazy, the description of this warfare. Zechariah chapter 12, verses 1 through 9. And this is amazing because this has a lot to do with Jesus' robe being splattered with blood. Now, I don't want to throw you off. Thank you. Producer Sean could hear my struggle. This is amazing. Watch this. At this time, during this entire time, the church is ensconced in heaven. She's safe and sound, the bride of Christ. She's got fine linen, clean and bright. She's got a white gown on. Look, the Bible doesn't even call her gown a robe. It didn't say she was wearing a robe. It says she's wearing fine linen, clean and bright. Like a wedding attire, wedding attire. Like that found... You know how everybody dresses up to go to a wedding? Well, no matter how, look, nobody dresses up and goes to a wedding wearing a wedding gown. That would be a weirdo. There's only one person wearing a wedding gown, and that's the bride. I find it fascinating that the Old Testament saints wear white robes. The tribulation saints wear white robes. The church wears fine linen. Not robes, something different. While we're in heaven, you can go read, by the way, Isaiah chapter 21 verses. Oh, shoot. I think I'm messing that up. Isaiah 26 verses 19 to 21. Oh, my memory's failing me. But listen, we're going to be in heaven. He's going to say to us, hide yourself for a moment. Just go behind the doors and be there for a moment. I'll be right back. And then Isaiah tells us that he's going to come out of his chambers and he's going to go and punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. Fast forward to Isaiah, the closing chapters of Isaiah. His robe is splattered in blood. He treaded out the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God, the Messiah. Amen. And on his robe is written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Sound familiar to you, right? Notice this, that when Revelation chapter 19 opens up the doors of heaven and the church is seen in heaven with him, he already has blood on his robe. So where did that happen? How did he get bloody? When did he go to war while the church was safe and In heaven. During the tribulation period. That's when. And it's quite awesome. Because during that fierce moment of time of Zechariah 12 verses 1 through 9, there are many other supporting scriptures that back up that event. Question to you is this. During the tribulation period, when will Jesus Christ intervene in battles in whereby his robe is splattered in blood so that it's visible when he returns in the second coming? Answer that question. It'll be a happy day for you. It's fun. Here we go. Number 27. All Israel finally trusts in Jesus as Messiah. That is known as the remnant. Deuteronomy 4, verse 30. Hosea, chapter 5, verse 15. Zechariah, chapter 12, verses 10 to 14. Matthew, chapter 23, verse 39. Romans, chapter 11, verses 25 to 27. Awesome. Wow. That's the remnant. Number 28. Verse 28. Christ and the armies of heaven, the church age saints, and his holy angels will come out of heaven towards earth. Daniel chapter 7 verse 13, Matthew chapter 24 verse 30, 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 verse 8, Jude chapter 1 verses 14 and 15, here we go, Revelation 19 verse 19. Verses 11 to 16. Oh, that's just number, just .28 should keep you up all day and all night just going through your Bible. So great. I tell you what, you want to have a cure for watching TV and listening to stupid music? .28. That'll keep you busy forever. And it's so rewarding. It's so exciting. Number 29. The Antichrist is... And the armies unite to prepare to war against the return of Christ. That's right. Psalm chapter 2, verses 1 and 2, but read the entire psalm. Revelation chapter 19, verse 19. Read all of Revelation 19. The Antichrist will coalesce with the armies. And while he's coming from the east unto the west, in the great second coming, they will attempt to destroy the return of Christ. And he, well, I'll show you what's going to happen. It's going to be amazing. Number 30. Jesus first rescues the Jewish remnant held up or hold up in Petra. That's in Numbers 24, verses 17 to 19. Isaiah chapter 63, verses 1 through 6. Micah chapter 2, verses 12 to 13. It is going to be awesome. By the way, these are the Jews who are holding up in Petra. That they're going to be brought before the Lord after he returns. I'm probably getting ahead of myself. And they are going to live into the millennium. And they are going to begin repopulation of the millennial age of those mortals that will live into the millennial kingdom. There'll be farmers. There's going to be ranchers. There's going to be amazing things that happen. The thousand years are going to be over the top. commencing with Christ's second coming. Number 31, Christ makes his way to Jerusalem and ascends to the top of the Mount of Olives, causing it to split in half. That's Zechariah 14, verses 3 through 6. This is awesome. Those of you who are tree huggers and ecologists, oh, Zechariah 14 is your chapter. Jesus is going to make everything so good. It's going to be great. So beautiful. Isaiah talks about, too, that when he comes back, he's going to cause the deserts to bloom. Can you imagine? California is going to be the most beautiful. It already is the most beautiful state. But California has got a lot of cactus in the deserts. It's going to explode. The desert shall bloom and become an oasis. It shall blossom. California is going to lead the way. It's going to be awesome. Beautiful. Number 32. Antichrist and the false prophet are cast into the lake of fire and their armies are destroyed. Zechariah 14, verses 12 to 15. Revelation 19, verses 20 to 21. Number 33. the regathering of Israel. Deuteronomy 30, verses 1 through 6. Isaiah 27, verses 12 to 13. And Matthew 24, all of it discourse again, verse 31. That is the regathering of Israel. Because why? Because Israel has to be The point nation and the epicenter of the millennial reign, because Jesus will sit on his throne, which is the throne of David. He has never sat on the throne of David. He's not sitting on the throne of David right now. The throne of David is in Zion, in Jerusalem. Jesus must sit on that throne. Anybody who says otherwise is wrong. Number one. 34, the judgment, the separation of the nations, the judgment of the sheep and the goats. That happens in Mount Zion by Jesus himself, sitting upon the throne of David. Joel chapter 3, verses 1 and 2. Matthew chapter 25, read it carefully, verses 1 through 46. Wow. Matthew chapter 25, guess what? The criteria for those who will live into the millennial kingdom will be how they treated the Jews during the tribulation period. That's the criteria. Number 35, Satan will be bound and placed in the abyss for a thousand years. Revelation chapter 20, verses 1 to 3. Number 36. The resurrection of Old Testament saints and tribulation saints that will happen at the commencement of the millennial kingdom. And that's Daniel 12 verse 2 and Revelation 20 verse 4. Number 37. The thousand year millennial kingdom begins at the end of the seven year tribulation period. Revelation chapter 20, verses 5 and 6. That's 37 points that are part of a seven-year period of time that must happen. Let me do this in closing. That according to the Bible, there are seven years between X point and X point. The first part of the seven-year tribulation period is 1,260 days. And the second part of the tribulation period is 1,260 days. That equals seven years. And if you're paying close attention, you're saying, no, it doesn't. Those days at a 365 times seven, that doesn't work. And you are correct. The only thing is you're wrong. You're correct, but you're wrong for this reason. The Bible from Genesis to the book of Revelation, Genesis to Revelation, never uses a 365-day calendar. It only uses a 360-day calendar. The Bible, including Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and the book of Revelation, and Genesis and Leviticus, use a 360-day calendar. How cool is that? 360-day calendar, 1,260, 1,260. The Bible says at the 1,260th day, the Antichrist is going to stand in the temple and declare himself to be God. the midpoint of the tribulation period, the Jews are going to jump off of their roof. They're not going to go back into their field. They're going to flee to Petra because watch the first three and a half years of deception is through peace and prosperity. Very wicked, very, very dangerous, very horrible, but nobody knows it because Satan's working through the Antichrist Everybody's making bucks. Everybody thinks this dude's the best. We love this guy. You know, I love the Antichrist. How about you? I love the Antichrist. Me too. Everyone's shouting. They're wearing Antichrist t-shirts. We love 666. That's just super duper. Halfway through, halfway through, He's going to enter the temple and he's going to commit the abomination which causes desolation. Matthew chapter 24 verse 15. The Bible says start counting. From that day, 1260 days, the second coming takes place. From this day. Nobody knows the day or the hour. But those living in that time, if they count 1,260 days from the day the Antichrist announces to the world that he's God, the tribulation period will end with the second coming of Christ right here. It's absolutely awesome. And you'll never fully understand this unless you read your Old Testament. A lot of people avoid Bible prophecy They read the book of Revelation and they just say, this is impossible. The reason why they're making that admission is because they've never read the Old Testament. Everything in the book of Revelation is explained in the Old Testament. Book of Daniel is required reading before you ever study the book of Revelation. You'll never understand the tribulation period those seven years. without reading Daniel chapter 9, verses 24 to 27. It's very, very important. Friends, listen. Bible consistency will cause you to enjoy Bible confidence. God will never change his mind. He never changes imagery. He never pulls a fast one on you. He doesn't do any switcheroos. And you can be firm. The only reason why you hear pastors or podcasters yapping and moaning and groaning about, it can't mean that, it's impossible. I've never heard that before. It's all typological. The book of Revelation is symbolic. And none of this stuff's really going to happen. It's because they went to dead churches and they graduated with biblical degrees from dead universities. and they're teaching a dead message to dead people. Avoid that stuff. Let's pretend, by the way, this would not be a bad, this would not be a bad thing. Let's pretend for a moment there is a massive EMP bomb, electromagnetic pulse bomb, goes off in the atmosphere. It's a nuclear weapon detonated in the air, high up. So a nuke goes off, you wouldn't hear a thing by the way. It's detonated in space. At just the tip of the atmosphere, 126,000 feet above your head, you see a flash. And you're like, whoa, what was that? There's no clouds, it looked like lightning. And within nanoseconds of time, Your Tesla doesn't work anymore. Your phone is dead. Nothing's working. Your GPS, you're like, oh my gosh, how do I get home? No Grubhub. You're like hungry. Nothing's working. Nothing. The only thing that's going to work is my old Volkswagen and my own pickup truck. Because you've got an old vehicle. Like if you've got a fit, if you've got anything like, I don't know, something like 1970 and under, you're the only guys that are going to be driving around. Everybody's cars are going to be fried. Why? Because a pulse bomb went off. You won't have anybody streaming into your ears or your face. No podcast. Nobody's posting nothing. That's a good day. That's a good day. Number one, I can take the day off. Number two, you're gonna have this. You won't have to listen to anybody. You'll have to read it for yourself. You'll have to know this for yourself. Won't be able to tune into anything or anybody. You'll only have this book. By the way, before I wrap this up, It's okay for you to have a Bible on your device. Just make sure you own an actual Bible. Can you do it kind of quick, please? I'm not going to mention the name right now because I don't want to get sued. But a Muslim family in the Middle East just bought one of the biggest Bible-producing publishers in the world. Right? Why? Why would Muslims buy a Bible-producing company? My point is this. Will you buy a Bible right away so nobody can change the Bible? Start editing the Bible? Own a physical Bible. Start reading your Bible. Because if somebody pulls the plug, you can read the Word of God. You might have to use a candle. But better to read the Word of God candlelight or sunlight than get caught off guard. But I have full confidence in the Holy Spirit and in the Word of God that if you unplugged everything from your life and started reading the Bible and you had no external influence... you would land just fine on the truth regarding all things all the way into eternity. Why? Because God gave us a Bible that works with or without YouTube. This Bible works with or without X or Instagram or Facebook. This Bible works with or without streaming this awesome Bible. This is wonderful. Listen, God bless you guys. Until next time, stay in the word of God. Be looking up. Be busy about our father's business. If you're bored in your Christianity, it's because you're doing it wrong.
