Jesus spoke 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.
23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.
24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
25 See, I have told you beforehand.
FATHER sent me to this passage this morning for it is not my choosing to write concerning the great tribulation. I also find it interesting that the “word” of focus for this year is courage. Am I prophesying this year to be the great tribulation? No, HE has only directed me to bring this passage to your attention. Clearly, there are many “black swans” that could occur politically, economically, and/or militarily. The specific focus in this passage is Jesus’ concern about The Elect, FATHER’S Chosen Ones. I believe The Elect have a revelation of Love and understand the reconciliation of all mankind and will respond accordingly when the great tribulation occurs.
What should I be doing to prepare for the great tribulation? I spend quality time listening to FATHER and focus on being led by THE SPIRIT. The only one I can truly prepare for such an event is myself. I can implore others to be prepared but each of us has to decide what path we will take. Some people may focus on being externally prepared at the cost of internal preparation. I believe FATHER will direct each of us to prepare however and whenever HE deems it necessary.
There will be much deception to take place but The Elect will see through the deception of great signs and wonders. The Elect will know FATHER’S Voice and only be moved by The Holy Spirit. The great tribulation is in no way greater than FATHER and HIS power and authority. As we fully align ourselves with HIM, we will be protected from external challenges which will be great during this time. Why wait until the great tribulation is upon us to prepare? Now is the time to grow closer to Our Heavenly Father.
