The Tribulation - What is it? When will it happen? What will happen along the way?

When it comes to Bible prophecy there is probably no event that causes more fear or more questions of the Tribulation. The Tribulation is an event that involves everyone. The Bible says that start immediately upon the rapture occurs, (Return of Jesus Christ to remove his followers in the world, to safety with him in Heaven). At this time the world will be in a very confused state, millions of people have just disappeared without trace from the face of the Earth. Families driving together in all cars can go, while a person in a crowded bus may be the only one who vanishes, Jetliners may fall from the sky as their pilots vanish, subways and trains derail and their drivers vanish, people disappear from their homes, streets, in shops and at work, and many others will be removed or even disappear from their graves, where they were buried for years or recently.

Television, probably will be filled with news reports from around the world with leaders and others trying to calm public opinion and trying to explain what may have happened to all those who disappeared. They can say it was some kind of new weapon, or any interest alien, or that some new experience of years has occurred. I'm pretty sure that soon, someone from the EU (European Union) will be forward and say he has the answer to what happened. This man will also bring about a peace plan 7 years between Israel and its enemies. This man of the EU will gain the respect and admiration of people around the world, many will even think of him as the Messiah or God, in fact when they are declared himself as God, is required that everyone on the planet will need to get some kind of computer chip or mark Implants in the right hand or forehead, which pays homage to him or his image, this is the famous mark of the beast ', mentioned in Revelation 13: 16-17 (NIV Version) - "And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark in their right hand or forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. "

From this we can see that the mark, symbol or device that is placed in the hand or head, is used to pay not only the respect or allegiance to the Antichrist or his image, but not even be able to buy or sell anything without it. Here in 2006, now we are seeing the increasing use of new RFID tags, which allow to any item to be tracked by satellite in the world, and we now have VISA cards that allow purchases instantly, just by waving the card near a scanner, the day you can buy and sell any brand or product, is here.

This man of the EU, the infamous Antichrist, will probably have the temple 3, Solomon's temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem, which probably allow the sacrifices and other services to occur, but during the 7 years under peace treaties, will break his covenant, and will stop the sacrifices and worship, and placed a picture of yourself or anything else in this temple, and that require the world's people to worship this image. The Bible says that this image, statue or whatever, come to life in a sense, and have the ability to speak. Revelation 13: 14-15 (NIV Version) - "They were ordered to be an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. And he was allowed to give breath to the image of the first beast, so you can speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. "

While these developments are happening Middle East and other horrible things that are happening around the world, in fact, during 7 years of tribulation will be over 18 separate trials that come to earth. The Bible says that there has never been, nor will there ever be a time of difficulty as the period of 7 years tribulation.

One of the largest and probably the best known of biblical things that will occur, is the "battle of Armageddon." This is a war of Phase 3 occurs during the 7 years tribulation. Sometime during the peace plan, Russia marches against Israel, perhaps in conjunction with Arab nations, like Iran, Syria, and others. The Bible says that Russia will be rejected and the army almost destroyed. Then the remaining Russian forces attack and this time also China, Russia and China, or it may trigger a nuclear attack on the U.S. at this time, then the Bible says that all remaining armies of the world will gather against Israel during the final 7 year tribulation, at the time highlight of this phase of the battle, the Lord returns with His saints from heaven to end all wars forever, and Jesus established his kingdom on earth.

So during this period of approximately 7 years from the time the rapture occurs (when Christians are removed from earth to heaven), we have the Antichrist from European Union, with a peace plan for 7 years between Israel and its enemies, the Antichrist moves his Headquartes Israel, perhaps in a rebuilt Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, meanwhile many other terrors that happen throughout the world, here is what the Bible says (NIV translation used) also occur during the tribulation 7 years:

First God allows his angels to unleash or cause what are called "trial of seals.

1. The Four Horsemen the Apocalypse are unleashed.

First Seal - White Horse - False Peace Plan - The Antichrist comes from the European Union with a false peace plan between Israel and its enemies, Revelation 6:1-2 - "I saw when the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice of thunder: Come!" I looked, and behold a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and was given a crown, and came as a conqueror bent on conquest ".

Second Seal - Red Horse - War, Rev 6: 4 - "Then came another horse, a red fire. It was given its own power to take peace from the earth and make men slay each other. He was given a large sword. "(The horse symbolizes the Network, probably Russian - Arab attack on Israel, the beginning of the battle of Armageddon.)

Third Seal - Black Horse - Famine, Rev 6: 5-6 - "I looked, and behold a black horse Its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice it sounded like one of the four living creatures saying, "A kilo of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and not damage the oil and wine!"

Fourth Seal - Pale Horse - Death by war, famine and diseases and pests, Rev 6: 8 - "And I looked, and behold a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades followed close to him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, famine and plague, and by the beasts of the earth. "

Fifth Seal - Believers in Jesus are killed during this time period for rejection of a world to Christ, and orders of the Antichrist. Rev 6: 9 - "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 the testimony they had. "

Sixth seal - Worldwide earthquake occurs and meteors fall from the sky - Rev 6:12-14 - "I looked when He opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth of hair, goat, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars of heaven fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a mighty wind. The sky receded like a scroll rolled, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. "

(For a short time after the Sixth Seal Judgementl) 144,000 Jews accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and become evangelists worldwide. In addition to other methods, this group has a multitude of Christ of all corners of the globe. Most of these new converts to Jesus will be killed for their faith in Christ.

Seventh Seal - This seal unleashes such horror, which for an hour, there is complete silence in heaven, probably as a tribute or time of mourning for the inhabitants of the earth and what is now going to face. - Rev 8: 1 - "When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for half an hour. "

Now, God allows his angels to unleash or cause what is called "judgments Trumpet '.

Rev 8: 6-13 - "Then the seven angels having the seven trumpets prepared to sound them."

First Trumpet Case - Revision 8: 7 - "The first angel sounded: And hail and fire mixed with blood, and threw himself upon the earth. One third of the earth was burned, one third of the trees were burned, and all green grass was burned. "(This could be the effects of a massive meteor shower that hits the ground, or this could be the moment when Russia's remaining forces unite with China and others, and trigger a nuclear war.)

Second Trumpet Case - Rev 8: 8-9 - "The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood, third of the creatures that live in the Dead Sea, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Third Trumpet Case - Rev 8: 10-11 - "The third angel sounded, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky in one third of the rivers and water sources, the name of the star is Wormwood. (Here we are describing a large comet or asteroid hitting the earth.) One-third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters had become bitter.

Case fourth trumpet - Revision 8: 12 - "The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun was beaten, one third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that one third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and one third of the night ". (Here again we see the aftermath of the previous sentence, after a large comet or asteroid hit the Earth, the sun and the stars will be blocked.)

Fifth Trumpet Case - Rev 9: 1-11 - "The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and saw a star fall from heaven to earth. (Perhaps the representation of a falling angel - devil, because the Bible refers to him as having a key, etc., so it can not be a true star, but as mentioned in the Bible in other places, Lucifer and the angels are called "stars, or" bright "). The star was given the key of the bottomless pit. When he opened the Abyss, the smoke rose from it like smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and the sky darkened by smoke from the abyss. And out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth and were given power as that of scorpions of the earth. They said it does not harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were given power to kill, but only to torture for five months. And the agony they suffered was like the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. During these days men will seek death but will not find, but time to die, but death will elude them. The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. Above their heads were crowns of gold, their faces resembled human faces. Her hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like lions. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek, Apollyon ".

What are horrible locusts that sting all non-Christian people converted during the tribulation? They must be of locusts that is what they are called, but they possess look unlike any normal locusts do one thing to note is that they have a leader over them, not normal locusts. These lobsters seem to be the devils that deep inprisoned of land in the "abyss" or hades. Have been given this body or the way she should, as in the normal state would be invisible to human eyes. This aspect hideous as the locust with a human face with sharp teeth and a tail of scorpions, is helping to frighten and torment human beings that attack for a period of 5 months. This is just another thing God does to try to get more people to turn their lives to Jesus Christ before it is too late, because we did not even attack any Christian. No leader is a powerful demonic spirit (The star, 'demon' who was given the key), whose name is Abaddon or Apollyon. It is very interesting note that the name "Abaddon" means "the angel prince of hell, the minister of death and author of havoc on earth. The Vulgate renders the Apollyon Greek by Exterminans America (ie, "Destroyer").

Sixth Trumpet Case - Rev 9: 13-15 - "The sixth angel sounded; and heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God. It is said that the sixth angel which had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates. "And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour, day, month and year were released to kill a third of humanity. "

The rest, or the next series of statements called "trial Bowl.

First Case Bowl - Rev 16: 2 - "The first angel went and poured his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. "(This is the team or brand Inplant the antichrist of the EU requires that each receives, so they can buy and sell, the 'mark of the beast - 666).

Second Case Bowl - Rev 16: 3 - "The second angel poured out his vial upon the sea and turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living creature in the Dead Sea .

Third Bowl Case - Rev 16: 4 - "The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood."

Fourth Case Bowl - Rev 16: 8 - "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun and the sun was given power to scorch men with fire. They were burned by the intense heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues, but refused to repent and glorify him. "

Fifth Bowl Case - Rev 16: 10 -- "The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues for pain and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but refused to repent of what they had done. "(Here we see that the antichrists temple and his kingdom is destroyed at the end of the Tribulation.)

Case Sixth Bowl - Rev 16: 12 - "The sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, preparing the way for Kings of the East. Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs came out of the mouth of the dragon, the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them for battle on the great day of God Almighty. (The Antichrist, false prophet and the image of the beast with the power of speech, etc) were being controlled by demonic spirits possessing and giving them their super powers. Now these spirits are able to hold world leaders are others, which brings together all the armies of the worlds last great phase of the war of Armageddon.)

Seventh Bowl Case - Rev 16: 17-21 - "The seventh angel poured out his vial into the air and out of the temple, a loud voice from the throne, saying:" It is done "Then came flashes of lightning, voices, thunder and an earthquake. No earthquake like it has never occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the earthquake. The city divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup of wine of the fierceness of his wrath. All island fled away and the mountains could not be found. From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because of the plague was so terrible.

At this time, Jesus Christ and his followers return to Earth, Jesus sits foot on the Mount of Olives and put an end to all wars forever, he restores the land and sits in his kingdom for the millennium (1,000 per year) reign on earth.
