The Scriptures do not tell us much about believers in Christ during the time of the Tribulation,but what they do say both thrills and chills us.We thrill to the prophecies about millions of men and women coming to the Savior during this coming seven-year period of wrath-but a cold wind chills our soul when we read of the shocking persecution and martyrdom that will fill those years.Just consider a few prophesies from Daniel and Revelation;
Daniel 7;21-The same horn [the Antichrist] was making war against the saints,and orevailing against them.
Daniel 7;25-He...shall persecute the saints of the Most High,and shall intend to change times and law.Then the saints shall be given into his hand.
When He opened the fifth seal,I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which which they held.And they cried with a loud voice,saying,How long,O Lord,holy and true,until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on earth? And a white robe was given to each of them,and ot was said to them that they should rest a little while longer,until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren,who would be killed as they were,was completed.[Revelation 6;9-11].
It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. [Revelation.13;7].
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,Write;Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes,says the Spirit,that they may rest from their labors,and their works follow them.[Revelation 14;13-14].
I saw the woman [the one-world church],drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.And when I saw her,I merveled with great amazement.[Revelation 17;6
Several important points should be emphasized from these texts to help us understand God's program for His people during the Tribulation.
1.THE TRIBULATION WILL SEE A GREAT SOUL HARVEST.
2.GOD IS IN CONTROL.
3.THE DEATH OF A BELIEVER IS BLESSED.
4.GOD WILL AVENGE THE DEATH OF HIS CHILDREN.
GOD BLESS.
Daniel 7;21-The same horn [the Antichrist] was making war against the saints,and orevailing against them.
What bible do you use? Dan 7 21 in mine does not say antichrist?
