The great tribulation and signs of His coming

Those days shall be shortened" For then will be great tribulation...Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short" Matt. 24:21, 22. When you read Revelation 6-18 and see the multitudes that shall be killed, you understand why "those days shall be shortened.   This is a must read to understand the book of Revelation.

Who are the elect here?
"Some have taken the elect here to refer specifically to the elect living on earth, but it is more probable that this event will include all the elect, or the saved, including Old Testament saints, saved Israel, the church and the saints of the Tribulation period leading up to the Second Coming. Some will need to be resurrected from the dead, such as the martyrs (Rev. 20:4-6) and the Old Testament saints (Dan. 12:2). The church was resurrected, or translated, earlier, at the time of the Rapture. At the second coming of Christ no child of God will be left unresurrected or unrestored, but all will share in the millennial kingdom." Dr. John Walvoord, "The Prophecy Knowledge Handbook." This book is a classic. It has every prophetic verse in the Bible explained Published by Victor Books, GET IT.

As the days of Noah
" For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be." Vs. 37-39.

Noah's Day
What was it like and what will it be like just before Jesus comes to the earth again. 1. "Men began to multiply." Gen. 6:1. There was population explosion here was sex perversion. Sound familiar? 2. There was sexual perversion, Vs. 2-4. Two men having sex together or two women having sex together is as unnatural as can be. I am not homophobic and do not hate them but any electrician knows you do not put two male plugs together. 3. "Every imagination of the thoughts of the heart was only evil continually" Vs. 5. Have you watched TV lately? It is saturated with sexual thought, innuendo's and sexual acts. 4. "The earth was corrupt before God" Vs. 10. I am so ashamed of our country and so much that goes on. From what President Clinton did in the White House down to what the soldiers did to the prisoners of Iraq. We deserve the wrath of God. 5. The earth was filled with violence" Vs. 11. Even before but since 9/11 our whole world is filled with ruthless, hateful and senseless violence. We need to cry out, not "God bless America" but "God help America." "But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived" 2 Tim. 3:1-13. Please read it.

O dear people, these are just the beginning of the "birth pains" and becoming more intense and more frequent. We must be prepared for the rapture, any minute now.

Prayer:  Father, we can hardly wait to see you. Help us that we will not be ashamed at Your coming. In Jesus name
