The
Great Tribulation-
Extreme Human Behavior
And Seven Years of HellThe
Bible prophesies that there will be "Great Tribulation"
for those
who are "left behind" after
Christ removes all Bible believers from
the earth. PART
ONE:
FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
FOR THIS STUDYBy
Steve Van Nattan All
Scripture is quoted from the King James Bible,
original edition, and the Bible
text is in red. PERSONAL
TO THE READERMuch
has been written in the context of biblical prophecies about the Great Tribulation,
the Mark of the Beast, and the Rapture of the Church. Great emphasis is made on
natural disasters, celestial events, famine, weather change, and many other physical
and Satanic aspects of the Great Tribulation. These books are almost always written
as historic fiction, and the reader usually takes them as fiction, not reality.
A
deacon from our church long ago went with me to see Orson Wells and Hal Lindsey
in a Panavision movie on the Great Tribulation. It actually gave some facts pretty
close to the Bible account. But, the movie ended with a mushroom nuclear cloud,
and the words "THE END" appeared, and the house lights came up. As we
left people were saying things like, "cool," and, "those guys were
OK." No one applied it to their own destiny. I
know of no work to date which is an Anthropological study of the Great Tribulation.
Thus,
I am not writing fiction. We shall leave the fictional approach to those
who sell books and make movies. This presentation will be read by only a limited
number of people. Nor will this make a good movie-- it would have everyone vomiting
and enraged. We
will use only two sources to learn what humanity will invent and dredge up to
torment one another during the Great Tribulation: First,
let us see what the Bible tells us about the human condition and man's response
to Tribulation events. We will look back in Bible history to see examples of just
how utterly wicked humanity can be. Second,
we will look at extra-biblical history of human activity over the centuries to
see how the worst of past human behavior on planet earth might tell us what to
expect. PARENTHETIC
DISCUSSION ON WHO GOES THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION I
must say that you Bible believers who read this will not be here on earth for
all of these horrors. The Bible teaches that Christ takes his Church out of this
world before the Great Tribulation for the simple reason that God is perfectly
just, and he cannot possibly subject his children to his wrath. And, part of his
wrath will be to drive humanity to fulfill its worst hour. Why would he leave
you Bible believers here to suffer such unspeakable evil when he has saved you
FROM it? 1
Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation
by our Lord Jesus Christ, If
you have Christian friends, or a pastor, who teach that Christians are appointed
to suffer the horrors of the Great Tribulation, you are in the company of heretics.
They do not believe God loves his people enough to deliver them from his wrath.
You need new friends, and you need to fire you pastor. The logic these servants
of Satan use is, "We should be willing to suffer for Christ." The point
of the Tribulation is not so that YOU can prove you are willing to suffer. The
whole point is this: Psalms
7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. God
does judge the righteous, but he is not angry with them every day. He makes an
eternal disconnect between the Bible believer and the wicked. Here is the destiny
of the wicked: Psalms
21:8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out
those that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of
thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour
them. When
God needs to deal with backslidden Bible believers, his methods are quite different
from his wrath and defined in altogether different terms: Psalms
99:8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them,
though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. God
forgives his children who repent, and the Great Tribulation is reserved for people
who will never repent. When God deals with YOU, he takes vengeance on your "inventions."
You have inventions of sin in your life, but he does not once consider blasting
you with his wrath..... he attacks your sin in you by the work of the Holy Spirit.
He may chasten you, that is, he may give you trouble and pain to get your attention.
But, only the wicked receive his total wrath. Revelation
9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having
breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses
were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and
brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire,
and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like
unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 And the rest
of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works
of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver,
and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of
their fornication, nor of their thefts. God's
wrath consumes the wicked and burns them up. The
only reader here who needs to fear the Great Tribulation is the unrepentant person
who will not submit to Christ. How can you tell if you are born again and one
who needs to repent? Answer: God is chastening you, and you need to repent like
a Prodigal Son and return to your Father. Hebrews
12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, and not sons. If
you are walking far from God, and if life is good and you are not being troubled
by God for your arrogance against him, then you are a spiritual bastard. You are
a servant of Satan and damned to Hell. Your WILL go through the Great Tribulation
because you are a rebel against God. You need to fear, in shock and awe, as you
read the following. And, you need to repent and be born again by faith in Jesus
Christ. Let
us have no more of this rubbish that God will send his Church, and Bride of Christ,
through the Hell on earth known as the Great Tribulation.
So,
this study is meant to be a caution to anyone reading here who has either neglected
the salvation offered him by our God, or he has simply decided the Christian faith
is a lot of rubbish. You will benefit from this study, possibly printing it, as
a guide to let you know what you might expect after the moment you realize you
have made a tragic error in rejecting God's offer of salvation. This article could
be a survival guide once you understand that you have been LEFT BEHIND. You
will be left behind to face the most treacherous seven years in all of human history,
for the presence of God and his people will not be here, and the worst of human
imagination and Satanic rage will be your lot, IF you survive. I
am not trying to mess with your mind. I simply, and absolutely, believe there
is a literal seven year era of extreme sorrow and suffering coming as God pours
out his wrath on those of humanity who have rejected him. There will be an opportunity
to seek God's salvation during the Great Tribulation, but the price will most
certainly be your life, for humanity and Satan's leader in the earth, the Antichrist,
will then hate you intensely and kill you for confessing Christ as your Lord.
And, confess him you must if you want his salvation during that coming day of
terror: Romans
10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:
that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. WHY
WRITE SUCH A HORROR STORY?It
is not customary for a writer to set out to shock and terrorize his readers with
some terrible story that has no positive solution. In fact, it is cruel. I know
there are creeps online who do this. I am not one of them. So, as you read on
down this article please understand that my motive is not to slap you around and
then run away. I have a delightful alternative to the horror story I am about
to lay on you. I will be sure to give you the grand alternative. I have found
it myself, and I would be indeed cruel if I did not tell you, both the bad news,
and the Good News. Having
said that, I must warn you that this is by far the most frightening horror story
in all the history of mankind. And, it is just about upon us. There will be no
"The End" at the end of this article. The end comes only after seven
years of absolute chaos and treachery on planet earth. You can fully participate,
or you can totally escape this coming black hour. The choice is yours, and in
no way are you disqualified to escape it, for no one is too evil or too low to
be given deliverance from this hour by Jesus Christ. THE
BIBLE ON THE GREAT TRIBULATIONHere
are the Bible texts which clearly teach that a Great Tribulation is coming. Jesus
is telling his disciples, long ago, and just before leaving earth to return to
heaven, what will come to Israel and the world during the Great Tribulation. Matthew
24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came
to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto
them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left
here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat
upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell
us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and
of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed
that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see
that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is
not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you
up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for
my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall
deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall
wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore
shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which
be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop
not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which
is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that
are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that
your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then
shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to
this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe
it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive
the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they
shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in
the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of
the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son
of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered
together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power
and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch
is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So
likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at
the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my
words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that
were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood
came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other
left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief
would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be
broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom
his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his
coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink
with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he
looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall
cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall
be weeping and gnashing of teeth. This
prophecy of Jesus above is to warn Jews in the near future what to expect as this
age ends and tribulation comes. This prophecy is not for Christians, but if you
are not a Bible believing Christian by confession of faith in Jesus Christ, you
will have to go through all of the above era. The
prophecy Daniel in the Bible tells us what God showed him: Daniel
12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth
for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as
never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy
people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. It
is clear from the above text that this time of trouble is way worse than any former
time in human history. The
Apostle John is now receiving revelation from God about the Great Tribulation.
Revelation
7:13 And one of the elders (in
heaven where John was seeing a vision)
answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and
whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to
me, These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his
temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on
them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall
feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes. These
are the few who believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ during the Great Tribulation.
They all are tortured and die for their faith. As I mentioned above, you will
die if you confess Christ as your Savior during that seven year period. And, as
you can see, you will hunger, thirst, and be baked in worldwide fierce heat as
the weather ceases to function. I will give you the alternative later. Now,
John tells us of the total Satanic religious oppression of all of humanity. Revelation
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the
sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto
a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth
of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound
was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped
the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying,
Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was
given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given
unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy
against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome
them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written
in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. There
is much more in the Bible on the Great Tribulation, but these texts make it clear
enough that this will be a horrendous era for the whole world. Seven years seems
like a short time, but by the end of this era two thirds of the world's population
will have died from famine, or war, or murder, or any number of horrors. Thus,
we now look at what man is capable of and how this predicts the conditions of
the coming Great Tribulation. If
you would like to read the complete list of physical, social, and Satanic terrors
which God will visit on planet earth during the Great Tribulation, find a Bible,
and turn to The Revelation, the last book in the Bible, sometimes called
The Apocalypse. Read Chapters 6 through 13. If you will not confess Christ
as Lord and your Savior, those chapters are your era to personally experience.
And, you will go through that era without one Christian on earth to consult with
or to comfort you. We will all be gone. MY
METANARRATIVE FOR THIS STUDYGOD
HAS A LIMIT TO HIS MERCY AND PATIENCE My
foundational assumption for this study is based on this Bible text which explains
why we have restraints and controls on humanity at large today: 2
Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is
called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of
God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet
with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that
he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already
work: only he (God the
Holy Spirit)
who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall
that Wicked (Antichrist)
be revealed,
whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with
the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working
of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness
of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of
the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send
them (everyone on earth)
strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be
damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Verses
3-5 indicate that the time of the Great Tribulation will not come until there
is a great falling away from religious faith and the man of sin, the Antichrist,
could be identified. This does not imply that Bible believers are obligated to
identify the Antichrist, but this may soon be possible to some true Bible believers.
The falling away of the Lord's Church is universal around the world. Christendom
is a debauchery of folly and lust today. Only a tiny minority retain the plain
teachings of the Bible as the final authority in their lives. Extremely few churches
resemble the church life of the first Early Church portrayed in the Bible book
of The Acts of The Apostles. Verses
6-9 clearly indicate that there is one who is "letting." This old English
word means restraining, among other meanings. This could only be the Holy Spirit,
that is, God the Spirit who lives in the true believers in the Lord's Church.
As long as I and all other Christians are still present in this earth, the Holy
Spirit in us restrains evil in the world, and Satan too is restrained. This does
not mean that Christians have the power to stop evil. It does mean that God the
Holy Spirit is doing so however. He is like a dam holding back the vast potential
for evil ready to break loose in full force on the earth, and when the dam breaks,
all hell on earth will follow at once. Verses
10-12 make it very clear that God helps the wicked to become totally wicked. God
even sends a spirit of mind and soul delusion so that people will believe things
they would not believe before the Great Tribulation. Let
us use an example. If a world leader or dead beat preacher told you that you are
perfectly justified to kill your wife if you get tired of her, you would be revolted
and flee that instruction. After God sends you strong delusion, you will at once
believe that this advice is perfectly reasonable. You
may ask why God would be so cruel as to cause people to lose all moral inhibition
and believe horrible Satanic lies. This is simply because God knows you have presently
rejected his offer of salvation on his terms, and so he will have to damn you
to hell in the future judgment of all men in heaven. God wants you to be fully
wicked, since you have chosen to mock at his salvation. So, God helps you to be
that way because that is your choice up front. Why
would a loving God delude people? The
answer is that humanity, in lesser and greater measure depending on the spiritual
light prevailing, LOVES LIES. Jeremiah
5:25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden
good things from you.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay
wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a
cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are
become great, and waxen rich.
28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they
overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless,
yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29 Shall I
not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such
a nation as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means;
and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? Though
this text is directed toward ancient Israel during an era when they had become
very wicked, it has been duplicated, and worse, today in modern society world
wide. Lying is endemic. World leaders are expected to lie, and the media accommodate
their lies. People lie in business, and it is expected. Lying is becoming an art,
and in recent years Presidents in the USA have lied in nearly every breath. President
Barak Obama has been famous for lying, and no one cares anymore. Verse
27 and 31 show the love people had long ago for deceit and for false prophecy.
The problem today is this-- God hates lying, and when people in the earth decide
to mock God's holiness and sin grossly in a particular way, God makes arrangements
for them to have full blown wickedness in order to punish them with their own
sin. God
speaks to Israel in anger because they have taken great pleasure in anything that
denies the God they once knew: Ezekiel
14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth
in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart,
and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to
a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a
proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know
that I am the LORD.
9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a
thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon
him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10 And they
shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall
be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him; 11 That the house of Israel
may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions;
but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD. Please
notice verse 9. God has passed the point of showing mercy on the people. So, God
deceives the prophets so that the prophets reinforce the wickedness of the people
who listen to them. This is the same principle as "strong delusion."
The rebellion of the whole earth against the Gospel of Jesus Christ has enraged
God. So, he is very close to the point when he will totally delude people so that
they find it much easier to be wicked and to act like virtual beasts. GOD WANTS
IT THAT WAY. If
you run with the mob who have told God to get back into his box, the mob who have
told the preachers of the Gospel to shut up, then God will include YOU in his
attack on the human mind and conscience. He will drive you mad with your own sin
and rebellion. Understand
something please-- God does not have infinite patience. His holiness forbids it.
You see, God is very patient and long suffering at first: 2
Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that
all should come to repentance. 2
Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as
our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written
unto you; God
is very longsuffering, in that he waits a long time while sinners ignore him,
hoping the sinner will finally come to faith in Jesus Christ. But, when masses
of people, and today, the whole world, keep slapping God's face and mocking at
his patience, God cuts off the mercy and he becomes a fierce judge. One
way he judges humanity is to CAUSE THEM TO BECOME TOTALLY WICKED AND DESTROY THEMSELVES. Romans
1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the
glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and
to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also
gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour
their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into
a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed
for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for
even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Read verse
24 again. This is what God is about to do to you if you have not confessed faith
in Jesus Christ and to follow after his holiness. You
are very close to losing your common sense, your conscience, and virtually all
of your inhibitions. And, every other person on earth will have the same experience
from God. This is what is meant by "the wrath of God" for you in this
age. This
is totally avoidable of course by simply confessing faith in Jesus Christ NOW,
not later. Later never comes.
WHY
STUDY MAN, THAT IS, ANTHROPOLOGY? Why
study man instead of Satan or the physical and natural horrors prophesied about
the Great Tribulation? Answer:
Man is your worst enemy if you happen to end up going through this Great Tribulation,
and here is why: Jeremiah
17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can
know it? Genesis
6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The
Genesis text describes the era before God judged the earth with a flood and drowned
the whole world population except Noah and his family. The Jeremiah text indicates
that man's imagination, creativity, and inner motives are the most deadly force
for evil in the universe. This implies that the unrestrained human heart is more
evil than Satan himself. This may well be simply because man is unique in that
man is created in God's image, and when man becomes evil he becomes a very wicked
creator socially and morally. 1
Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it
is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The
Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. So,
we go into this study understanding that Satan and man will soon be driving all
of human activity. God will be determining the length of the Great Tribulation,
but man and Satan will have no restraint from doing anything they desire. God
will have vacated the earth and given it over entirely to wicked men and Satan
to do with as they please. So, what will the world be like without God restraining
things in any way? Remember,
we said above that God promised to send strong delusion to all who enter the Great
Tribulation. So, what you would find totally abhorrent now, will seem quite reasonable
after God turns your mind upside down morally.
TWO
ANTHROPOLOGICAL THEORIES ARE USED IN THIS STUDY1.
Anthropology of all the centuries from the past and up to the Great TribulationCultural
Anthropology, as a scholarly discipline, deals with human culture especially with
respect to social structure, language, race, law, politics, religion, magic, art,
and technology
2.
Anthropology according to the BibleBiblical
anthropology deals with man as a created extension of the power of God. Man is
studied in his origin, moral responsibility, and his ways of either responding
to God or rejecting him.
Thus,
the modern world is stuck on stupid in humanist anthropology alone, while the
Bible believer tries to relate to God on one hand, and to the history of man on
the other. This is always both a conflict, a delight, and a ministry, for the
Bible believer cannot join in with much of the cultural, religious, magical, or
social activities of humanity. On the other hand, the Bible believer must make
a friend of any person who will receive friendship. This is first to show and
tell the Gospel to this friend, but also to show mercy and kindness to the person
who is outside of belief in Jesus Christ. This is why I wrote this article. I
am driven by Christ to care about your destiny. I am not interested in your joining
anything except to become a follower of Jesus Christ. I
am offering you the opportunity to see down the road. We will look at a time of
what the Bible calls Great Tribulation. This comes immediately after all true
Bible believers are taken out of the world by Jesus Christ. My only motive here
is to see you come from unbelief to faith in Jesus Christ so that you will go
with me to be with Christ. This way both of us will avoid being a victim of Satan
and wicked men who will have this world all to themselves for seven years. Thus,
we now look at the various sub-topics in the discipline of Cultural Anthropology
as they will play out during the Great Tribulation era. What we are doing is going
to extremes in past human culture and behavior. This is because the Bible teaches
that the Great Tribulation is tribulation such as man has never seen before, it
rushes to the extremes of evil, and it is condensed in time in a terrible way. PART
TWO:
DAILY LIFE IN THE GREAT TRIBULATIONFamily,
Home, and Child RearingThe
Global VillageHillary
Clinton is famous for being the wife of a fornicating President, and she is famous
for being America's premier nanny. One of her most urgent nanny causes is to promote
the Global Village. And, regarding the rearing of children, she has said several
things, which, taken together, are the heart and soul of Globalism: "We
must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for
society." "Voting
is the most precious right of every citizen, and we have a moral obligation to
ensure the integrity of our voting process. Gay rights are human rights. What
we have to do... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences
without fracturing our communities." "How
we care for our own and other people's children isn't only a question of morality;
our self-interest is at stake too. No family is immune to the influences of the
larger society. No matter what my husband and I do to protect and prepare Chelsea,
her future will be affected by how other children are being raised. I don't want
her to grow up in an America sharply divided by income, race, or religion. I'd
like to minimize the odds of her suffering at the hands of someone who didn't
have enough love or discipline, opportunity or responsibility, as a child. I want
her to believe, as her father and I did, that the American Dream is within reach
of anyone willing to work hard and take responsibility. I want her to live in
an America that is still strong and promising to its own citizens and lives up
to its image throughout the world as a land of hope and opportunity."
The
implications are clear-- the community will take charge of your kids for you.
This is being discussed today, and it is actually happening by force as Child
Protection Agencies enter homes on pretexts of saving children from dreaded religious
fanatical parents. Parents do not have a choice anymore what health procedures
will be done to their children, and those who decline anything presented as essential
end up losing their children to the village, that is, foster parents. In America
this is often a couple of sodomites or a home full of crack heads. So,
when the Holy Spirit who "lets" (or restrains)
the worst in humanity today leaves this world for seven years, what will this
lust to take charge of your children become? Laws will be made that children have
to be shared around, used sexually, and educated in all manner of filth. No parent
will be allowed to keep their children away from anything the official line approves
of. Laws regulating the participation of pedophiles in society will be turned
upside down, and these sick minds will be given high honor and responsibility
in raising children of the community.
Parent
Child RelationshipsAny
creep in the neighborhood can today call in a complaint to the police or Child
Protection Services, and an agent will arrive with full authority to tear the
home to shreds based on one crank phone call. This is now the norm in America
and all White Race nations. So,
when the Holy Spirit of God vacates this world this process will become endemic.
Laws will be passed similar to the Communist Chinese era criminalizing anyone
who does not call in reports on parenting practices. Children will be removed
from their homes very frequently, and the parents, having lost all sense of loyalty
to their children, will actually welcome their children's removal. Parents will
be totally self-centered, and the few people who do not abort their children will
soon seek ways to get rid of them. 2
Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, ..... This
is not conjecture, rather, this will be the way YOU think during the Great Tribulation
if you are left behind. God will delude your mind to the point that you will believe
you are justified for hating your children. And, of course, they will hate you.
The
Home as a refugeHow
is the home today? Well, we are being watched and listened to by the United States
NSA department 24/7. And, that includes virtually anyone in the world who communicates
via technology. But,
commercial firms also spy on us. We are told that Google is trying to learn how
to read our minds. Your toaster is telling the power company when you make toast.
Your automobile talks to the nanny government, and your cell phone is tapped.
TVs are designed to look back and forward viewing choices to marketing gurus.
Supermarkets are preparing to install devices that identify you as you walk through
the store, and when you are near a certain product they have determined you might
like, a voice will speak to you and offer a discount just for you. No one around
you will hear the voice but you. It is not a bit mystical-- it is the clever use
of sound technology and already exists. So, what will it be like when Antichrist
makes your every breath his private information? Clearly,
during the Great Tribulation there will be no privacy. With technology people
may even come to like this as they can listen to each other and nanny and nag
each other all day long. Methods may well be added by which the Antichrist nanny
system can give physical pain to people when they do something politically incorrect.
The US Military has such technology right now. People could easily be forced to
report anything they see that is disloyal to the Antichrist. All the technology
is now available for the Antichrist to control the minds of six billion people
worldwide. There
will be no refuge or peace in going home. You will never be alone. Being alone
will, when caught by the snoops, be assumed to be an urge to escape or rebel against
the Satanic world program. Home will be a public forum and a three ring circus
to all the world. This will undoubtedly result in many suicides, that is, if the
Antichrist nanny does not catch people thinking about suicide. There will be no
escape from this era of horror. There
will be no quiet place. Yet, recent trends socially in the UK, USA, Europe and
Australia tell us that people do not have close friends who care about them. While
the home will be constantly bombarded and invaded by the nanny state and commercial
tricks, people will avoid each other. I have seen this in Ethiopia after the Marxist
coup. The Ethiopian people are very polite and careful about their conversations,
but they also love to chat and talk and pass the Weray (news) around. After the
coup the city of Addis Ababa went dead silent. People were terrified of each other.
The tattling principle was enforced, and if you heard someone bad mouth the new
regime, you were required to tattle or be punished. Here
is what your "friends" will be like according to the Bible: 2
Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors,
heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a
form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. If
you put off the Gospel option of Jesus Christ, you will enter seven years in which
you have no friends, not even in your own family. The only companion you have
will be the Antichrist system nagging, nagging, nagging.
