Think on this: “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)
Pray on this: Father, we thank you that your Holy Spirit will reveal to us things to come. (John 16:13) and you will protect your people from the fury of your coming wrath. In Jesus name, AMEN!
For those who want a more detailed follow up on what Mr Hutchens talked about today, here is an excellent book [ ttp://tinyurl.com/pex4qlk ] by a Messianic Jew that will lay out that time line [seals-trumpets-bowls]. The cosmic disturbance described by Joel and in ch Mat 24 is the 6th seal in Rev 6 . This announces the soon to come “The Day Of The LORD” [wrath of G-d]. This book was a major turning point in my walk as it got me thinking correctly when it came to the event of the end time. It made me “flush” the pre-trib view once and for all.
sorry that is http://tinyurl.com/pex4qlk
Kim; what do you mean by “flush the pre trib view?
Richard, I was brought up to believe the return of Christ would be before the start of the last 7 year period [some refer to incorrectly as the tribulation period] of Daniel’s 70 week of years. After reading Rosenthal’s book [linked in above post] with an open Bible, I saw that he was correct and the rapture would take place some where in between the opening of the 6th and 7th seal described in Revelation ch 6. That is when I flushed the pre tribulation rapture view I was taught. IMO, this book is a must read for those who still believe Christ can come at any time [pre trib view]. G-d bless you Richard and thanks for asking.
Joel 2:31 says: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. To me this tells me that there will be more than one occasion when the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give it’s light. What we see happening in 2014 and 2015 may be just one of several of these events.
Pastor John Hagee wrote a book entitled “The Four Blood Moons” where he catalogued the occurrences of blood moons in history and what happened with each blood moon or solar eclipse which fell on Jewish feasts. Blood moons are rare events, but when they occur on Jewish feast days, they are even rarer and have consequences to the Jewish state as well as gentile nations. The next blood moon will occur on Sept. 28, 2015 on the Feast of Tabernacles. The Shemitah year ends Sept. 13, 2015. God is trying to tell us that something big is getting ready to happen. I believe these series of blood moons are God’s forecast of judgment coming to Israel and the nations.
God has 7 year cycles for His devine appointments. Scripture really supports a pre-trib rapture. Please consider these teachings by JD Farag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eDmfrxqen0&list=PL19453602A5A420C7
