What are the signs of Jesus Coming ?
The Period of Sorrows (Part 2)

|
3. The Great Tribulation
|
|
The temple of God in this period of grace is the human body of every believer. God can not have another temple or another type of temple. Thus, He will not be able to accept the temple dedicated by the Jewish Priesthood as His temple.
|
|
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. 1 Cor 3:16-17 (NKJ)
|
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Cor 6:19-20 (NKJ)
|
It was not God's will to build the temple of God at this time but that of the Antichrist (to deceive Christian). Thus, during the dedication of the temple to God, God will not accept this temple. But, the Antichrist (abomination of desolation) or the Devil's agent will utilise this occasion to deceive Christians and Jews alike.
|
|
"So when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not" (let the reader understand), "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his garment. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter. For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be. And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days. Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, He is there!' do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand." Mark 13:14-23 (NKJ)
|
As soon as the temple of God is completed with all the holy vessels in place, the Priesthood (Jews) will dedicate the temple to God in accordance to the Scriptures in the Old Testament. Leaders of all faith will be invited to witness this dedication. Christian leaders (note:- most of the watchful Christian leaders were already martyred) of every denomination including the Pope will be there. The whole world will be watching this event live on TV or other sources.
During the dedication of the temple of God by the Jewish Priesthood, the Antichrist will imitate the miracles of God during the dedication in Moses' time (Exo 40:34-35) and also in King Solomon's time ( IKing 8:10-11). The whole temple was filled with the glory of God (possibly lightning, thunder and brightness) then.
The Antichrist will imitate with lightning, thunder and brightness. All these miracles will be seen by all (including unsuspecting Christians) worldwide. Immediately, every one seeing this will proclaim that God has come down from heaven.
|
"So when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not" Mark 13:14a (NKJ)
"Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), Matt 24:15 (NKJ)
|
When the cloud clears, everyone watching the TV, will see the Antichrist (abomination of desolation) standing (or sitting) at the mercy seat of God (`standing where he ought not' or `standing in the holy place'). The Priesthood on entering the temple again and seeing the Antichrist sitting on the mercy seat will immediately fall on their knees and worship him as god. This will be the greatest deception (Tribulation) ever.
|
Religious leaders of other faiths including Christians will be invited into the Most Holy place, and they will immediately go down on their knees and worship the Antichrist as god when they see the Priesthood worshipping the Antichrist as god. Every Christian who witnesses these miracles and happenings on TV will be troubled and those, whose knowledge and understanding of God is a suspect will immediately follow the example of the Priesthood and Christian leaders. No wonder even the very elect may be deceived. God's greatest sorrow is when His people especially His elects fell at this period of testing. All those who bow down to the Antichrist have lost their salvation and they will be left behind at Rapture. Their eventual destination will be the lake of fire.

Worst deceptions ever found

And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" Matt 17:10 (NKJ)
Jesus answered and said to them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist. Matt 17:11-13 (NKJ)
|
So when one of the false prophets calls fire from heaven (using demonic power) to kill those who curse the Antichrist on TV, Christians' faith will be shaken. And when that prophet proclaims himself as the Elijah to come, unlearned Christians will believe him.
Note:- Elijah had already come in the name of John the Baptist.
That false prophet will then bow down and worship the Antichrist as the messiah and god. Brethren, do not be deceived.
|
"Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, He is there!' do not believe it.
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive,
if possible, even the elect.
But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand. Mark 13:21-23 (NKJ)
|
All those Christians who had bow down to worship the Antichrist are now the fasle Christs. They will be given wealth, authority and even power to perform signs and wonders. They will try to convince Christians that they are now reigning with `Jesus' the messiah (the Antichrist) in the Millenium era. Brethren, do not be deceived
Note: The Millenium Rule of Jesus will only be after Rapture and the Wrath of Satan and the Wrath of God.
|
During this period of Great Tribulation, all deceived Christians who had bow down and worship the Antichrist will be prosperous and powerful. They will even be given power to perform signs and wonders. These were their desires of their flesh.
Christians, who had not worship the Antichrist, but long for wealth, position or powerful gifts, will also be deceived during this period. Start immediately to crucify the flesh and love not the world and the things therein.
|
|
But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra-- what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 2 Tim 3:10-12 (NKJ)
|
Imitate Paul just as he imitates the Lord Jesus.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Rom 12:1-2 (NKJ)
|
Thank God that the days of the Great Tribulation are shortened
|
|
False Christs (deceived Christian leaders), who with the empowering of the devil to perform great signs and wonders, will convince even the very `elect of God’ (these are His disciples who hold true to the Word of God) to worship the Antichrist. This period is a very short period (possibly only 10 days or a few weeks) for the elect’s sake. False prophets with their signs and wonders may proclaim that all religions are the same and he (the Antichrist) is their only saviour. With the assistance of the false christs (deceived Christians), they will bring in the One World Religion of peace and harmony for all mankind. All those who refuse to bow down and worship him (Antichrist) will be destroyed. Overcomers in the Great Tribulations are worthy to be the Bride of the Lamb. ....Read more on Rapture

Brethren, prepare yourself to be the bride ot the Lamb

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. 2 Pet 2:1-3
