WHY
--- the TRIBULATION??
For each and everything God
does, He has an ultimate purpose. So, too,
with the horrendous Great Tribulation period.
Just what will it accomplish? He has more
than one reason in mind!
1. Time
(now on Earth) as we know it, will come
to an end. Daniel introduces
the events that climax the consummation
of time. Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks
are determined upon thy people and upon
thy holy city, to finish the transgression,
and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring
in everlasting righteousness, and to seal
up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint
the most Holy. [KJV]
From Adam to the Rapture,
God’s grace has and will flow freely. He
has given all people the opportunity to
believe Him, accept His Son, and worship
Him willingly. Our time on Earth
is a testing period; will we turn to Him?
or will we reject Him and His marvelous
grace? He gives us every opportunity!
2. It
will fulfill Israel’s prophecies. Many
prophecies about Israel are not yet fulfilled.
They have returned to their land, and have
been recognized as a nation in 1948 (see
Ezekiel ch.36 & 37). But rebuilding
the temple and restarting to offer sacrifices
will be completed during the Great Tribulation.
3.
To shake man’s false sense of security. A
steadfast and prospering world makes people
think they can "do it themselves."
They don’t need God, is their attitude!
So it will take earthquakes, plagues, famine,
and death, to shake their confidence in
their own powers, so that when they hear
the Gospel, preached by the 144,000 Jewish
evangelists, they may be more receptive
to the Message.
4.
To force people to a decision: Christ? or
Antichrist? One main and very important reason for the
Great Tribulation, is to give billions the one last chance
to make up their mind: will it be Jesus?
Will they accept Him? Or will they continue
to reject Him and run to the horrendous
impostor --- the Antichrist? Those
who do accept Christ during these most traumatic
judgments by God, will receive the mark
of God on their forehead (Rev.7:3). But,
when they do, they will be headed for martyrdom.
Satan, the Antichrist, the False Prophet
and the Harlot (Mystery Babylon, false religious
system) all hate Christ intensely! There
will be many Tribulation saints killed
during this awful time period. But, eternity
in Heaven is much to be desired, rather
than a very short-lived traumatic life on
Earth during the Tribulation. Better still,
if you have not accepted Christ as your
Saviour and Lord, do it NOW! In doing so,
you will NOT have to be concerned about
the Tribulation. You will NOT go through
it! For when Jesus comes at the Rapture
(1 Thes. 4: 13-18), you will go with Him
to Heaven then!
