When will God's wrath begin?

     A term you don't hear much about is the day of the Lord. It is the time of God's end-times' wrath against his enemies. I Thessalonians 5:9 tells us that believers will not suffer God's wrath. The rapture will occur just prior to the day of the Lord.
    There is no promise in the Bible that we will not suffer during the Great Tribulation. On the contrary, many believers will die during this time of Satan's wrath (Revelation 12:12). The day of the Lord will happen after the Great Tribulation.
     If you do a study of the day of the Lord, you will see that:
  1. there are prophesied events before it
  2. only God will be exalted during this time
  3. God will punish his enemies
Check your concordance for the multitude of references of the day of the Lord. If you are a believer, praise God that you will not experience any of this.

  

The Tribulation versus Daniel's 70th week

    How many times have you heard the end-times 7-year period called the Tribulation? A much more Biblical name would be Daniel's 70th week. Daniel 9:24-27 describes the 70 "sevens" or "weeks" depending on your translation. Daniel 9:27 and Matthew 24:15,21 tell us that the Great Tribulation begins in the middle of the 70th week. Matthew 24:22 tells us that the Great Tribulation will be cut short by Jesus. Therefore the Great Tribulation will be less than 3 and a half years.  In any discussion of the end-times it is crucial that all terms be defined Biblically.

Matthew 24:29 : The key to the timing of the rapture

     "Immediately after the distress (tribulation) of those days." What a simple easy- to- understand statement.
           Matthew 24:30-31 describes the rapture in the same terms as I Thessalonians 4:15-17. They both refer to Jesus coming in the clouds; angels; a trumpet call; a gathering of God's people.
      Therefore, the Church will go through the Great Tribulation. But will she be ready?
