Markets, Tribulation & Judgment

Thanks to all of our followers who send us very thoughtful and often amazing emails and content to check out. We unfortunately can’t respond to it all.

As you know, here at T2B we try to bring you several viewpoints from authors all over the globe. One of the debates Christians can never seem to resolve is the topic of the rapture.

I think most Christians are in agreement that believers are “protected” from the wrath of the Lord. Are we protected “through” the trials, or are we protected “out of” the trials? In other words, are we “raptured” before problems start?

It’s not enough to say one is pre, mid, or post trip, pre-wrath, etc. You first have to define what/when the “wrath” starts. The Bible says we will have tribulation in our lives. Does that mean we will be here for “THE” tribulation? Or snatched away before? And before the 7 years? Before the 3.5 years?

This week alone we have seen a huge stock market scare. Everyone has been talking about 9/13 (Elul 29) and 9/23 as being significant dates in prophecy. There are interesting meetings coming up in September with the POTUS, the Pope, and the UN. We have the Shemitah cycle. There is the last of the blood moon tetrads. We have Jade Helm. We have prophecies and visions from reputable believers.

If things begin to unravel in September then there will be some ‘satisfaction’ in knowing all of this was indeed prophetic. But what if nothing significant happens? Will you have a crisis of faith? Will you give up on studying after listening to ‘hype’ for the past several years?

Here at T2B, we feel we are in the last days. We might not be in the tribulation per se, but we are in the season. A reader sent this recently and it has some great points.

No man knows the hour of Christ’s return, but we are commanded to know when it is at the door!

UNBELIEVERS:
• Children of darkness and the night
• Do not know Day of the Lord
• Will agree “Peace & safety” has come right before it starts
• No escape for them
• Those asleep: unbelieving, unaware, indifferent to salvation
• Drunken in the night
• Appointed to wrath

BELIEVERS:
• Children of the light and of the day
• Know Day of the Lord is coming without warning
• Will understand prophecy: “peace & safety” means tribulation ahead
• That day will not overtake us
• Don’t sleep: righteous are watching and aware of prophecies & news
• Sober: living in faith, love, and hope of salvation
• Not appointed to wrath: appointed to salvation, deliverance, preservation,
safety

Now is the time to be on your knees asking the Lord for wisdom, and guidance, and protection for what is to come. Peace
