Fifth Seal (Satan's Wrath) 5
Period of Great Tribulation
The Great Tribulation (Mat 24:15-28) of 45 days is at the end of the Period of Tribulation (Wrath of Satan)
Rev 13:7-8 It was granted to him (Antichrist) to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Anyone who worships the Antichrist will be cast into the Lake of fire.
Start of the Great Tribulations
Mat 24:15, 21-22 "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand)... For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be."
The Great Tribulation will begin when we see the Antichrist dedicates the so-called Temple of God.
Dedication of the Temple
The Antichrist will assemble all religious leaders and head of states to Jerusalem for the dedication of the Temple of God by offering animal sacrifices. The event will capture the world’s attention and be seen by everyone through live streaming. The dedication will be followed by signs and wonders as in the dedication of Solomon's Temple.
Prayer of King Solomon
2 Chron 7:1 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
Thick clouds with thunders and lightning will hover over Jerusalem after the the Antichrist has finished praying. Streams of fire from the sky will incinerate the burnt offering followed by the grand entrance of clouds with thunders and lightning into the temple. Spectators outside the temple and in all Judea will watch in awe and believe that God is in the clouds. This deceptive grandeur is the exact reason why Jesus told all those living in Judea to flee to the mountains. Ignorant Christians will attribute the spectacular phenomenal to Rapture.
2 Chron 5:13b-14 the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud... so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
When the presence of God filled Solomon's Temple during its dedication, His manifestation was too intense that the priests had to run out. History will repeat itself during the Antichrist's temple dedication.
Antichrist on Mercy Seat
As the clouds begin to clear in the Holy Place, the Priesthood and the heads of religion enter the Holy Place. The silhouette of a person seated on the mercy seat on top of the Ark of Covenant that is the throne of God can be seen faintly.
The image becomes clearer as the clouds fade away and their eyes opened wide to see the Antichrist on the throne. Not smelling a rat, everyone on site and online, bow down to worship the beast.
2 The 2:3-4 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Temptation of Jesus
Mat 4:8-9 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."
Satan took Jesus to a towering mountain. There, he conjured an illusion of the wonders and glory of the world to lure Jesus into worshipping him.
The same stratagem will be used on those watching him live online. The unlearned and uninformed will bow down to worship him in front of the TV or smartphone.
2 The 2:9 The coming of the lawless one (Antichrist) is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders.
