Is the Tribulation at the Door?

 Is the Tribulation at the Door? - by Bill Perkins - https://compass.org/is-the-tribulation-at-the-door/ So much for lazy summers. There is so much to keep up with these days that it's like drinking out of the proverbial fire hydrant. The U.S. economy reminds me of what it was like when I would ski too fast, back in the day when I dared, and all the sudden I would find myself out of control on one ski,poles in the air, knowing I was going to crash...it was just a matter of time. Today we live in unprecedented times. Nothing makes sense. We have corrupt government; banks teetering on the edge of collapse; the government treasury being looted; borderswide open; the administration in power arresting those who oppose them; the administration in power doing everything possible to start a war with Russia; people dying suddenly all the time but no one asking why; government threatening to take our kids fornot going along with woke perversion that is clearly defined in scripture... the entire country is seemingly held together by a thread. And like my poor skiing habits of yesteryear, seems like it's just a matter of time before the crash. Yet I'm optimistic that either God will somehow allow a great turnaround or that the Rapture is right at the door. And quite frankly, the Rapture seems more likely than animprobable turnaround. Just saying. But what this really means is we have incredible opportunities to witness that all of these things were specifically predicted thousands of years ago proving the accuracyof the Bible. This is no time to be bashful. Due to the United Nations 7-year proclamation, the article this week adds some insight to the 7oth Week of the 70 Weeks of Daniel. Is The Tribulation At The Door? And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering:… Dan. 9:27a The 70 Weeks of Daniel Bible prophecy, Daniel 9:24-27, is the most important prophecy in the Bible regarding the last days before and after the Rapture. If someone doesn’t correctly understand its prophetic meaning/predictions, their whole prophetic outlook could be affected. So if you’re fuzzy or unfamiliar with this prophecy,it’s covered succinctly and in detail in The Bible’s Big Picture, a video that covers the entire Bible in 30 minutes. CLICKHERE (Start at the 7-minute mark for 3 or 4 minutes for the Daniel 9 explanation.) There is one part of that Daniel 9:24-27 prophecy that directly concerns us today. So to get started, let’s reword Dan. 9:27a in plain English: And the New World Leader will strengthen an existing covenant/agreement with many for a specific period of 7 years. After 3 1/2 years this covenant/agreement/treaty will bebroken and Jewish sacrifices on Mt. Moriah will be stopped. [BP translation] I’m not a Hebrew scholar but that’s the best I can do using my Interlinear Bible. The key points are: “he” - referring to the New World Leader “strengthening an existing agreement” referring to something already in place. “with many” - probably including Israel. “7 years” - which is referring to the future 7-year Tribulation/God’s wrath on the earth. So the verse pointedly says that the Tribulation begins with the signing of this 7-year covenant/treaty/agreement orchestrated by the New World Leader just after the Rapture. From a dispensationalist viewpoint, the signing begins post-Rapture. We won’t be here. To best understand the context of this verse, we need to first back up to see what will have just happened. 1) Rapture  The Rapture shocks the world, but does not surprise grounded Believers. 2) Russia Invades Israel With God’s Restraining Holy Spirit removed at the Rapture, the long anticipated Ezekiel 38/39 Russian/Iranian invasion of Israel begins using nuclear weapons. 3) USA Destroyed Russia (probably coordinating with China) also launches nuclear missiles at the USA and demolishes her. For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong. Rev.18:8 …for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste! Rev. 18:17 and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer(*); for your merchants were the greatmen of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery [Grk=pharmakia/drugs]. Rev. 18:23 ( * - That mention of no more weddings is contrasted to the verse in Matthew 24 and Luke 18 saying that up until the Rapture there will be weddings and social events…and electricity,and an economy, etc…which is good news—so as we see the day approaching, we also see our Rapture “rescue” also approaching!) The bottom line is that the USA is a non-player in end-time events post-Rapture. But she will hold together until the Rapture. 4) God Repels The Russian/Iranian Invasion God does a protective miracle, on the scale of parting-of-the-Red-Sea, that the shows the world He is again actively protecting Israel. I [God] will strike your bow from your left hand and dash down your arrows from your right hand. You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and thepeoples who are with you; Ezek. 39:3-4 Don’t miss the fact God, not Israel, defeats this Russian invasion! I will magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the LORD. Ezek. 38:23 I will not let My holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. Ezek.39:7 With the USA in ashes, Israel is left standing alone in the world. And with nuclear weapons now out of the bag, she goes on offense taking out all her surrounding enemiesone-by-one. In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the left allthe surrounding peoples, while the inhabitants of Jerusalem again dwell on their own sites in Jerusalem. Zech. 12:6 The surrounding Muslim nations will be no match for Israel’s war machine, which is prophesied to be “an exceeding great army” when they are resurrected as a nation in thelatter days in their land (1948). So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. Ezek. 37:10 With the Muslim nations collectively screaming at the top of their lungs to “Make Israel stop annihilating us,” a peace will be brokered by the newly revealed New World Leaderbetween Israel and ten nations—the ten nations/ten toes of Daniel 7. Five from the west leg, five from the east leg. Because Israel is negotiating from a strength position, she'll be allowed to rebuild her Jewish Temple and go back to sacrifices on the Temple Mount on Mount Moriah. When the covenant is signed, the last seven years, Tribulation/the Time of Jacob’s Trouble begins. I believe there will be about 50 days between the Rapture and the covenantsigning.(5) So now we’re hearing that the UN is proposing a 7-year deal (6)— but is it THE 7-year treaty of Daniel 9:27? The first thing to ask, is there currently in place a covenantor treaty to “strengthen?” Actually there is one possibility. Conference of the Parties, Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 2021 https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/cop26 https://enb.iisd.org/glasgow-climate-change-conference-cop26/summary-report In brief summary, at this demon-driven conference there were 120 world leaders, over 22,000 delegates and some 4000 media representatives who met for two weeks. Sounds likeenough to qualify as "many" to me. The result of their agreement was to reaffirm the Paris accords from 2015. They also agreed to reduce fossil fuels and non-electric cars due to them thinking they’re the main driver of Climate Change. Apparently our government is all in using "ClimateChange" to force people to submit to their policies. (If you missed our article on Climate Change being all about control, CLICKHERE It's worth a skim-read to see the hypocrisy in what the Globalists/Satanists are saying.) In the Glasglow meeting they also demanded that private financial institutions and central banks move to realign trillions of dollars toward achieving global net zero emissions.In other words, they want to control all the monetary transactions. Interesting and we know where that's headed. So coming up September 18, the day after the last trump of Rosh Hashanah, they want to meet and put teeth into this world agreement. It certainly SOUNDS like all this could fit the Daniel 9:27 prophecy. And a lot of Bible prophecy teachers are saying this could be the long-awaited Daniel 9 prophetic fulfillment. However, since the Daniel 9 prophecy is so key, so hugely important, I find it somewhat hard to believe the Lord would bury its fulfillment where only some people knew aboutit through Internet searches. I would have expected God to do something like “parting of the Red Sea”…something huge that the world could see and hear about. Or like stopping the earth’s rotation. But maybe I’m wrong. It’s possible this COULD be the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation in September. This could be proof that the Rapture is at the door. But I’m not buyingin just yet. God's 7-Day Warning? I think the proof will come if God gives us a warning like He did Noah. When Jesus said just before Rapture would be JUST LIKE the days of Noah, we can conclude that the world today would be just like in Noah’s day — blinded by sin and know notwhat is about to come upon them. In Noah's day, the only people who knew what was coming on the earth were Noah and his family. They knew exactly what was happening. Especially when God told them it was timeto load the Ark! “For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth” Gen. 7:4 Don't miss this…God warned Noah that the flood was coming seven days in advance! This is info that Noah would have shared with his family who, incidentally, were the only ones looking for a worldwide flood. In Jesus' illustration, Noah represents the Church. So it's quite possible God will give us a 7-day warning too. No clue how. But if on Sept. 10, one week before Rosh Hashanah’s last trumpet sound on Sept. 17, God gives His Believers a heads-up, something tremendously obvious confirming the Raptureis 7 days away, seven days later on Sunday morning I’ll be standing on the east side of the church building holding a blue Millions Missing? booklet! If the Rapture does happen, those post-Rapture instructions for those left behind will be in the pile of clothes on the ground along with my dental implants and screws frommy long-ago broken ankle. But if nothing happens this Rosh Hashanah, a week or so later we’ll be cruising from Rome to the Holyland to see our Bible come alive… with time to relax while contemplatingthe coming year! It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Prov. 25:2
