Will Christians Go Through The Great Tribulation?

The answer is yes, there will be those who claim the name of Christ

Who will go through The Great Tribulation.

This is made clear in The Book of Daniel and The Book of Revelation:

After the “Woman,” the Bride Of Christ is taken into the desert

And protected there by God, for the duration of the Tribulation,

Satan goes off to make war against the rest of Her offspring;

The saints not taken with the “Woman.” (Revelation 12:17)

He (the Beast, the Antichrist) was given power

To make war against the saints and to conquer them.

(Revelation 13:7 NIV)

And the host [the chosen people] and strength

Were given to [the wicked horn] (The Antichrist)

Together with the continual burnt offering (worship of God),

Because of the transgression [of God's people]--

Their abounding irreverence, ungodliness and lack of piety.

And righteousness and TRUTH were cast down to the ground,

And [the wicked horn] accomplished this [by divine permission]

And prospered. (Daniel 8:12 AMP)

This divine permission is the God sent Great Delusion

Spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:11)

In fact there is only one group of Christians

That will not go through The Great Tribulation:

Those who have been crucified with Christ to this world

And no longer live

But it is Christ who lives in and through them;

Those who have set their hearts on things above;

Who's lives are hidden with Christ in God;

Who have clothed themselves with the garments of Christ,

And let His Word dwell richly in them;

Those who are water washed, blood washed, fill with the Holy Spirit

And walking in the Light of Christ Jesus.

All others who claim the name of Christ

Will go through The Great Tribulation:

Those who have forsaken their first love;

Those who are friends with the world;

Those who believe that they are alive

But are in fact about to die, spiritually;

Those who are lukewarm toward Christ;

Those who say they are rich and in need of nothing,

But are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked

In the eyes of Christ Jesus.

Those virgins who do not have sufficient oil,

And are not prepared to meet the Bridegroom, Christ Jesus,

At His appearing. (Matthew 25)

However, those who go through The Great Tribulation

Will be given one last opportunity to choose Christ as their Savior;

The opportunity to refuse the “mark” of the Beast;

Refuse to worship the Beast, and to die for the sake for Christ Jesus.

The apostle John speaks of these:

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude

That no one could count,

From every nation, tribe, people and language,

Standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.

They were wearing white robes

And were holding palm branches in their hands.

And they cried out in a loud voice:

'Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.'

All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders

And the four living creatures.

They fell down on their faces before the throne

And worshiped God, saying:

'Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor

And power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!'

Then one of the elders asked me,

'These in white robes—who are they, and where did the come from?'

I answered, 'Sir, you know.'

And he said, 'these are they

Who have come out of The Great Tribulation;

They have washed their robes

And made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Therefore, they are before the Throne of God

And serve Him day and night

And He who sits on the Throne will spread His tent over them.

Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.

The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.

For the Lamb at the center of the Throne will be their shepherd;

He will lead them to springs of Living Water.

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'

(Revelation 7:9-17)

It is not the intent of Christ Jesus,

That any of His Saints go through The Great Tribulation.

The apostle Paul said:

For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath

But to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(1 Thessalonians 5:9)

Christ Jesus told the saints of the Church of Philadelphia:

Since you have kept my command to endure patiently,

I will also keep you from the hour of trial

That is going to come upon the whole world

To test those who live on the earth. (Revelation 3:10)

The test that Christ Jesus speaks of is the test not only of the world

But of faith in Him and consecration to Him.

Every saint will be tested.

Those who overcome will overcome by the blood of the Lamb

And the word of their testimony;

Not loving their lives so much as to shrink from death.

(Revelation 12:11)

I pray that all who read this are among those

Who love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength;

Who will be taken into the desert and protected by God

For the duration of The Great Tribulation.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
