tribulation

WILL I SEE THE TRIBULATION???

There are several points of view on when the 'Rapture' will take place, as in Matthew, chapter 23,24,25, there are two places which describe Jesus taking people out of trouble. Any saved person will be saved from the antiChrist's power before Jesus comes back to the earth to reign for 1000 years on earth. The antiChrist will be in power for 7 years , during a time when evil will prevail against good here on earth. If you read Daniel, and Matthew 23,24,25, you will get a good idea of how things will come about and what I am talking about. During the tribulation period, the antiChrist which will come into international power, will persecute Christians and Jews (kill them) if they do not renounce Christ or their faith. This part of the tribulation will take place at the 3 1/2 year mark of his power...known as the abomination of desolation. This will happen when the antiChrist will set up his headquarters in the new temple in Israel in Jerusalem. Until this abomination of desolation, the antiChrist will gain popularity with the people by explaining away several supernatural events that will happen and by offering peace, financial stability and a false understanding to the world, who does not know Christ.
It is generally thought that at the very beginning of the 7 year tribulation, all saints of God who are not backslidden, will be taken up (the rapture) into the clouds and transformed into their spiritual bodies they will have in heaven. They will just leave the earth in the twinkling of an eye and the world will search for an explanation for this wonder. The antiChrist will give a plausible (false) explanation and offer solice to the world. There will be Christians left behind, who will see the rapture and understand that they missed it because they had put off salvation or backslid from the faith. Those Christians will have to avoid the Mark of the Beast offered by the antiChrist and maybe be killed for Jesus's sake. If they take the mark to save their lives, they will be damned. It will be an awful time to be alive! Those who take the 'mark' will sell themselves over to the power of the devil and there will be no escape for them. They will receive the same reward as satan at the second coming of Christ at the end of the seven year period of tribulation.
Other Christians believe that Christians will live here through to the 3 1/2 year mark and will be raptured right before the 'abomination of desolation' (antiChrist's taking power of the temple). They believe that during the first half of tribulation, the Christians will bring in the harvest and maintain power to a degree and control the wealth of certain parts of the world for Christ's glory. Either way, Christians who are faithful will be saved from the carnage of the last 3 1/2 years of tribulation.
This is why Christians are so on fire to reach the world now. According to the signs of the times in Matthew before the tribulation and antiChrist's reign, we can see that that 7 year period according to prophecy could begin at any minute now. All things are set in place for this event right now. So do not delay in making yourself and your family ready. Give your life to Jesus now and avoid much pain and even death. Jesus suffered and died for your sins for you in your place. If you are left behind, you will have to pay the price yourself for your sins. Salvation will not be yours any longer.
