Fifth Seal
The Great Tribulation
Mat 24:21 "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 horrors of this period will be the worst of human history.
1. Trials of Job
Job 1:12 And the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person." So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
Satan suggested that Job will turn away from God if he no longer received God's blessing. With God's permission, Satan is allowed to inflict any pain or loss to Job except to take his life. The masochist devil took away his wealth, properties and children, and struck his body with excruciating pain from boils that excreted blood and pus.
Will there be any prohibition to kill Christians during the Great Tribulation? None.
Satan will be given free rein to execute genocide on the human race.
2. 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 offending His Father. The same stratagem will be used against us during the tribulation.
2Thess 2:9 The coming of the lawless one (Antichrist) is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders
3. All will see him on TV
Rev 13:15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
On that fateful day, mankind will see the Antichrist on the mercy seat proclaiming himself god on digital devices. Those who refuse to worship the beast on screen (an image that speaks) will be terminated digitally.
Note - do not watch the Antichrist on smartphones, TV or hologram.
4. Mark of the Beast
Rev 13:16-17 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The present RFID chip is used widely for financial security. Without the chip, mankind will not be able to trade.
Evolving technology will produce an implantable RFID chip (mini computer) that is able to monitor the health of the human body. It has the capability to destroy and purge viruses, pathogens, foreign invaders, and microorganisms from the bodies. Men will covet this anti-aging, life-prolonging Marvel-chip above all else.
Greatest Deceptions ever
After the dedication of the temple of God, the cloud inside the temple will clear gradually, revealing the Antichrist.
Curious people who are watching the live-streaming of this once-in-a-lifetime event will fall into a trance and have their minds captivated by the power of the beast.
Under hypnosis, they will be sold into the biggest scam of a blissful, abundant life under the governance of the Antichrist.
False Christs and False Prophets
Mat 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
False christs will impersonate themselves as the twelve apostles of Christ to dupe Christians into believing that the Antichrist is Jesus in person.
False prophets will masquerade as the prophets of old to deceive Jews and Christians into worshipping the Antichrist as Jesus the Messiah.
Overcoming the Great Tribulation
Mat 24:25 "See, I have told you beforehand."
Christ has forewarned us of the dangers of end times and gave us the counsel to overcome them.
