The timeline reveals that the world is approaching unprecedented troubles.
The following represents the timeline we have been writing about:
Jesus spoke of this time period in Matthew chapter 24:
21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
He was quoting from Daniel chapter 12:
1 “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people (the Jews) shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.
Both Gabriel and Michael are involved in this unprecedented time!
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.
4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
There will be those who are wise and those who are unwise, a parallel to the parable of the ten virgins. It is vital that men accept Jesus Christ during this time of the Great Tribulation!
9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.
Even though knowledge will increase, which is clearly what is happening today, the wicked will not understand the importance of these times. Rather than ensuring their destiny, they are busy being entertained or focused on worldly trappings.
11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 “But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
The final 3 ½ year period will be like no other time on earth. Thankfully, the Bride will view these events from Heaven and not be subjected to the intense suffering that lies ahead.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Zechariah chapter 13:
7 “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, Against the Man who is My Companion,” Says the LORD of hosts. “Strike the Shepherd, And the sheep (the Jews) will be scattered; Then I will turn My hand against the little ones.
Who struck the Shepherd? The Pharisees did! Judgment must prevail against those who have rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior.
8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the LORD, “That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one -third shall be left in it:
9 I will bring the one -third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; And each one will say, ‘The LORD is my God.'”
It was written by THE SPIRIT in Jeremiah chapter 30:
4 Now these are the Words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah. 5 “For thus says the LORD: ‘We have heard a voice of trembling, Of fear, and not of peace.
6 Ask now, and see, Whether a man is ever in labor with child? So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins Like a woman in labor, And all faces turned pale?
7 Alas! For that day is great, So that none is like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, But he shall be saved out of it.
When Jesus speaks, pay close attention! Both Gabriel and Michael, the two archangels, provide the emphasis for this time of Jacob’s Trouble. There will be no time as great and troublesome as this 3 ½ year period.
