    Do you believe that we are now in Tribulations? That we only have 7 years left on earth? Then the Rapture takes place.

    He loves you. He wants you to live in heaven with Him, forever. He already paid for your being able to accept His invitation.

    He's not willing that any one person should die eternally. He's ready to save everybody right now.

    In 2 Peter 3, you will see that which global mankind is fearful of, is going to happen on Earth. It is NOT global warming. Time is ticking down, and the earth is on "pre warm" much like an oven we preheat for our pizza.

    It's happening now and global leaders are trying to force us to believe they have answers on how to stop it. They cannot! This warming is ordained by God. Recorded in the Bible.

    Excerpt from 2 Peter 3:9-13

    "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, NOT willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

    But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent HEAT, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be BURNED UP.

    Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?

    Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being ON FIRE shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent HEAT?

    Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for NEW heavens and a NEW earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."

    Making Jesus your Savior and Lord is the only way to escape this. Trust Jesus today. We all did.

    Could you survive 7 years of Gods wrath: little food, no fresh water. Falling stars slamming into earth; asteroids and global wars with nukes.

    No! but we are in the 5th Trumpet sound whereby all 5 seals are being poured out on the earth.

    We are getting close to a One World Government but not 7 yrs close (IMO) biblical prophecy not yet fulfilled.

    The answer comes down to the question: Will the Church Go Through the Tribulation?

    No. The New Testament Church, the Body of Christ, will NOT go through the Tribulation period. By "Tribulation" I am referring to the Biblically prophesied 7-year time period (referred to in the Bible as "the time of Jacob's trouble"). This 7-year period precedes the Millennial reign of Christ. It is during this 7-year period that the Antichrist (the Beast) will rule the world, leading up to the Battle of Armageddon at the end. The Antichrist will be a 100% Satan possessed individual.

    The Beast system is being formed today, which is often referred to as the "New World Order." The Church will be removed from the earth BEFORE the appearing of the Antichrist ( 2nd Thessalonians 2:7,8). There isn't one verse in the entire Bible which indicates that the Church will go through the Tribulation period. Rather, the Apostle Paul stated in 1st Thessalonians 4:16-18...

    "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

    Carefully notice that Paul's message was intended to "COMFORT one another." If the Church was going to go through the horrible atrocities of the Tribulation, then these words certainly wouldn't be very comforting. Also, it is important to note that God wouldn't destroy the wicked in Noah's day until Noah and his family were all safely aboard the ark. Not one drop of rain fell until Noah and his family were on the ark, and God had shut the door. Afterwards, the rains fell and the wicked were utterly destroyed.

    As much as it may seem...we're not in the tribulation yet...but I believe we are in the last days.

    Have you given consideration to Matthew 24:22 ?

    And after you do consider that precedes Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days..."

    Mark 13:20 reads the same

    I think we will see the beginning of tribulation. There is more insight in the Book of Revelation.

    * Matthew 24, Luke 21, and the Parable of the Ten Virgins, told by Jesus.

    So if it happens during the SEVEN TRUMPETS__we will see difficult happenings.

    *if we keep our eyes on this and current events on news channels (Erik Stacklebeck) who reports news in Israel, we will not be caught unaware. "Jerusalem Post" news has too many aggressive advertisements now.
