We will not go through the tribulation.
HOWEVER…
We will go through birthing pains.
Matthew 24:8-21
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but ...

HOWEVER…

Matthew 24:8-21
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Pre Tribulation)
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith (still the first age of Grace) and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. (RAPTURED) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
THE END WILL COME: GK NOW THE BEGINNING OF THE END STARTS…. the Tribulation starts!
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
Before we talk about who the anti christ is, lets talk about the spirit of the anti christ.
The Spirit of the Anti christ
1 John 4:2-3
2 John 1:7
1 John 2:22
1 John 2:18
What is the spirit of the anti christ?
It is denying Jesus Christ as Lord… HOLD UP HERE
*There are some who deny Jesus as Lord… they are just wrong. STILL A BUMMER
***But the Spirit of the anti christ knows he is God and still chooses to deny him.
****When satan comes down and inhabits the body of the one world leader and becomes the anti christ… satan KNOWS Jesus is God - but openly deny’s him and sets himself above God.
The anti christ spirit is here today to blind us to the spiritual realm. Money, hate power insecurity bitterness religion social media, name it… is all controlled by the spirit of the anti X.
The only 2 things that have the “ability” to not be controlled by the spirit of the anti X is the church and the believer.
I say “ability” because he is alive and working in some churches, denominations and some believers lives.
- Believers who vote for pro-abortion politicians
- Churches that preach a soft gospel and sloppy grace.
- Denominations that promote homosexuality and speak against the inerrancy of scripture.
- Christians who vote for candidates that are anti scriptural in their platforms: Homosexuality, abortion, and are anti Israel
2 Tim. 3:3-9
3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
1 These. 4:18 Comfort one another with these words… we will not go through the Tribulation.
The anti Christ (when he comes will come to rule the world and destroy Israel)
When you pick teams as a kid… there was always that one kid you always picked. You couldn’t lose with that kid. In the end times that kid is Israel.
Israel is Gods chosen people and blessed:
For 3 reasons
Out of Israel came the messiah
Out of Israel came The bible
Out of Israel came the church
Four undeniable truths regarding Israel and the end times.
1 - Israel will become a nation again for the 2nd time in one day.
Prophesied Isaiah 11:11
In God’s plan the end times began in earnest on May 14, 1948,
THIS MARKS THE Rebirth and Re-gathering of Israel
2 - Jerusalem is reunited under Jewish control after 1900 years.
Luke 21:20-24
June 1967 Israel took all of Jerusalem
3 - The issue of Jerusalem causes the world to unite against Israel.
Zech. 12:2-3
In 2017 President Trump recognized Jerusalem as its capitol and we moved our embassy to Jerusalem.
TRUMP WAS THE FIRST TO DO THIS SINCE KING SYRUS TO RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM ISRAEL’S CAPITOL.
Zech. 14:19
**What you need to know in real time. The United Nations hates Israel. They have been called out by the UN more than any other country. They have had attacks on their name and reputation by the UN more than any other country.
4 - The land of Israel is divided Joel 3:2
We are the final generation of the age… I believe it.
The whole world including many US presidents have pressured Israel to give up land for peace with the Palestinians…
- The Problem is that the Palestinians have openly declared Israel as an enemy.
- Their leaders are terrorists and they continually attack Israel.
This will be the catalyst to where the battle of Armageddon will finally take place.
