Transcript: Understanding the Great Tribulation: Separating Fact from Fiction

The world today is hurtling toward a traumatic climax, which is going to catch literally billions of people by surprise. And for millions, that surprise will be nothing short of catastrophic. Decisions that you make today are going to have eternal consequences. It is ever so important that you get things right, now, before it all begins. I can see in things that are happening around the world right now, glimmers of sincere desire on a part of a sizable body of people. A sincere desire to know the will of God more than anything else in these troublous times. Yet there seems to be very few people equipped to guide these masses, who are so badly in need of a true shepherd at this point in human history. Oh, we can find plenty of religious leaders teaching us what they ought not for the disgusting sake of making money. There are false prophets everywhere who will say whatever it takes to get a crowd and who close their eyes to whatever truth it takes to keep the collection plates full. But there are a few true sheep, hungering for the truth, coming from true shepherds, who are not afraid to speak it clearly, even if it's not popular. The Bible predicts a coming new world order, ruled by the cruelest dictator that the world has ever known. That same dictator, according to the Bible, will make war against the saints. A war against the saints. Do you know what that means? It will be a war against Christians. That's us, the saints. We're talking about genuine followers of the real Jesus. If you're a professing Christian, then you will be the target of the coming Antichrist. Whether you like it or not, there is no escape. This is definitely not a comfortable truth. Nor is it a popular one. But it is what the Bible predicts. The Bible says that the Antichrist will not only make war with the saints, but it says that he will prevail against us. God will let it happen, and he will let it happen for our spiritual good. Listen to these words from Scripture. Whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and he scourges every son whom he receives. No chastening for the present is enjoyable, but rather it is grievous. Yet afterwards, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised thereby. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? Do you want to be true children of God? Are you prepared to hear the bitter truth about what is coming on the earth and what is coming on us as Christians? If you are not prepared to face what is coming, then your end is almost certain to be a thousand times worse than what I am going to describe for you. God is very close to letting loose on the human race the greatest suffering that has ever been experienced in the history of this planet. I think some of it, maybe most of it, will be punishment for our having failed to give God the reverence that He deserves. As a race we have been ignoring Him for literally centuries but our arrogance and indifference has especially sickened God in these last days as churches everywhere have turned so terribly reprobate literally teaching against all that Jesus ever taught. Like the church of Laodicea, we have said, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, little knowing that we are really wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. To be honest, I don't know of any of us in the Western world today who does not fall into that category. And I include myself. We are all rich, and our wealth has suffocated us spiritually. Jesus says to us, As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be zealous, therefore, and repent. Brothers and sisters, God is calling on us to turn around. That is what repent means. To repent of our selfishness. To repent of our laziness. To repent of our greed and pride and indifference to the needs of others. We have heaped treasure together for the last days when we should have been giving it away to the poor. I'm calling on professing Christians everywhere to turn to God in true repentance. No more talk about baby steps. No more haggling with God over tiny changes. The days of pretending to change are over. He wants a total turnaround of the kind that He demanded from His first disciples. What is coming upon the world in the next few years is exactly what we each deserve. But even now there is a glimmer of hope. If we will truly repent. You can cry all the tears you like as you place your neck on the chopping block during the coming great tribulation, and it will not save your life. Yet, if you will let go of everything that you are hanging on to now, and turn to God with your whole heart, there may yet be some chance of physical survival during that terrible time. Some chance that you could be part of an army that will preach courage and martyrdom to the numberless multitudes who will lose their lives in the coming tribulation. So what is the requirement to be a part of that army? Nothing more than what Jesus required of his first disciples. Most of them died as martyrs too, but even those who did not were prepared to die for their Lord. They literally left everything, and in one generation they reached all of the known world with the gospel. They did it without the internet, without printing presses, without rapid transport, without public address systems. They did it through the faithful practice of one-on-one evangelism, moving from city to city and country to country, sharing the good news of a world where God feeds His radical, dropped-out children. They did it by quitting their secular jobs, forsaking their biological families, and leaving their hometowns to go to the ends of the earth with the blessed gospel of the kingdom of heaven, the gospel that Jesus preached. That gospel has barely ever been preached anywhere since the days of the Bible, but it can be preached, and it will be preached once again in these last days as we rediscover what it was like to literally follow Jesus to the ends of the earth. The Revelation, the last book of the Bible, tells us about an army of 144 people That one person in every 50 people on the earth at the moment This army of 144 people That one person in every 50 people on the earth at the moment This army of 144 faithful saints will be recognized as the true descendants of Abraham. Not some man-made kingdom with man-made weapons and a man-made temple, but a kingdom straight out of heaven. A bride adorned for her husband, a mighty spiritual army of people who, the Bible says, do not love their lives even to the point of dying for their Lord and Savior. Do you hear what I'm saying? If you want to save your life, you must first be willing to lose it. That is what Jesus preached so many years ago. We have had it in our Bibles ever since, and yet we have read it through rose-colored glasses, pretending that it means little more than getting out of bed on time to make it to church on Sunday morning. No, no! God is finished with our token insults. Don't look for this cross that He asks you to carry in your present institutions. And because of their unwillingness to die now, they will be the first to go when the Antichrist opens fire on believers everywhere. God wants willing martyrs, true witnesses, who are prepared to face death for Him right now if need be. At this very moment, there are literally millions of people saying that they are prepared to die from a deadly disease that will choke the breath out of them. They say that they will do it for God. They will die before they will allow a needle to be stuck in their shoulder with a vaccine in it which could actually save them from COVID. they are saying it because they believe or at least they are saying that they believe that what is in that needle is the dreaded mark of the beast. I say this as lovingly as I know how. That needle and the medicine inside it they are not the mark of the beast. But if we could turn all of that zeal that willingness to die for such a misguided belief into genuine obedience to Jesus into real faith and real love for God and for the lost. We could have the revival that God wants for His people in these last days. It won't be empty talk and cheap thrills, but it will be the real thing, real revival, real protection for some and real martyrdom for others. That is my message at this important point in history. You see, there is a real mark of the beast that exists right now in the world of commerce. It is a tiny microchip implant, about the size of a grain of rice. Although, through technology, it may be much smaller by the time they start inserting it into your right hand, and in the right hand or the forehead of everyone else on the planet. Without it, you won't be able to buy or sell anything. I'm not talking about just being refused entry at the mall. I'm not even talking about losing your job because you refused to get the jab. Without that microchip, you won't be able to make payments on your house, put fuel in your car, or buy medicine. You won't be able to shop online, catch a bus, or even give a donation to a beggar on the street. You won't be able to sell anything that you own either. If you haven't already sold your possessions and given the proceeds to the poor, then the Antichrist himself will take them and you will be left with nothing out there on the streets That is how the real Mark of the Beast works You hear people talking about the Mark of the Beast today who could not even tell you where it is mentioned in the Bible. Five verses! That's all it takes to read everything that the Bible ever says about the Mark of the Beast. Yet most of them have never even taken the time to read those five verses for themselves. Instead, they circle the globe through the internet, from the comfort of their overstuffed chairs, trying to tell us that they know what the mark of the beast is. Little do they, and probably you too, realize that what they are saying is all based on hearsay and gobbledygook. I'm sorry, but those teachings have come from the mouths and imaginations of false prophets, fake religious leaders who have been feeding you lies for a very long time. They have been inspired by the Antichrist himself to steer you away from the truth about what he is really planning for you. God knows, and God is letting him do it. God is letting the Antichrist sort out real faith from fake faith. And he is doing it with all this talk about a fake Mark of the Beast. Now, like I said earlier, I do believe there are sincere believers wanting to really lay down their lives for God. But don't throw your life away by believing a lie about the COVID vaccine when you could be giving your life in loving service to God and others right now, going into all the world with others of us to preach the real gospel of Jesus to every creature on earth before the real mark of the beast arrives. The whole of creation is groaning together for something the Bible calls the manifestation of the true sons and daughters of God. It's about to happen and most of us are going to be alive to witness it. In one way or another, we're going to become a part of it. But you are going to have to give up the counterfeit in order to take on the role that God wants you to play. Do you have what it takes to jump off the present religious bandwagon and start living and even dying in Christ with His true gospel, the gospel of the kingdom of heaven as He called it? The kingdom of heaven is a world where the King Himself meets all our material needs while we spend our time spreading His message of faith and love. Please contact me today and let me know what country you live in if you want to be a part of this. I'll do my best to put you in touch with others who have been living like this for a few years now as we've been moving ever closer to this momentous period in history. We've stopped working for money and God has taken care of our needs. How is He doing it? And why is He doing it? He is doing it because we have chosen to follow the Lamb that is His dear Son, Jesus. We are following the Lamb of God wherever He goes. And as we do, He meets our material needs. One day soon, He is going to lead us into some kind of wilderness. I don't know the details, but the Bible says that we'll be nourished there for three and a half years, while the great tribulation sweeps across the rest of the world. Please don't delay. Tomorrow may be too late. I look forward to hearing from you today. God bless you.
