You may have noticed, this blog is not so much a discussion about the unfolding events from the book of Revelation etc. That can be read from reading the book of Revelation and other prophets. Rather, this is a call to preparation for what lies ahead. I hope that the call to preparation will be clear with no mixed overtones at all. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 14 : 8, "If the war bugle gives an indistinct sound, who shall prepare himself for war"?
You will not find a belief in a pre or mid tribulation rapture theory here. The Lord returns "immediately after the tribulation of those days," (Matthew 24:29), as the Lord Himself declares it. This is not a secret coming. It is not an additional coming. It is His second coming, His return. None of the other writers of scripture contradict this in any measure. Our differing interpretation of these events are the imaginations and misunderstanding of men.
We need to be pre-pared for these last times dear saints of God. We start by drawing near to God, seeking His face for direction. We need to be watching and being alert, walking accordingly.

This will be a time when the Spirit of God will sift through the lies and deceits of false teaching we subscribe to. It will be a time of undoing and exposing of our trust in the arm of the flesh. Our religious programs will not help us here. We will experience true fellowship as it was intended from the onset of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem. These are but a few of the actual things that will take place during the great tribulation period. Already, this process of preparation is beginning to take place.
God has afforded us the opportunity to repent of our reliance on our own strength and religious knowledge, but we have been obstinate and rebelled all the more. He will then force us into it through the fire where we come out the other side with no pretense. The Lord Jesus comes for a people who are made spotless and without blemish or any such thing. A people made ready for Him at His return.
While it is true that we are not appointed to experience the wrath of God, we will be kept safe from that, we will however, experience the devil's anger and God's discipline during this time of final tribulation of suffering. Much more can be said of this, this is sufficient for now, discern the heart of God, he allows this because He loves us so greatly. Read the whole of Hebrews 12.
Be strong and of good courage, our Father loves each one and He has covenanted Himself to us. His heart is purposed to do good towards us. May the grace of our God be with you all, until next time.
