The Tribulation Question


THE TRIBULATION QUESTION

3-5-2019

Many online pundits, commentators, and alternate news reporters have attempted to answer the following question:  Why have the Democrats, Rinos, MSM centers, leftists, liberals, and Hollywood people launched a non-stop assault on POTUS Trump?  Occasionally, someone will offer some point of accuracy but rarely do any of them advance or acknowledge the complete answer.

Beginning with the MSM, it has been accused of being the paid propagandists of some rogue CIA initiative, while keeping in mind they are all owned and operated by some dual citizen Israeli Jew.  The Hollywood crowd mostly want to retain their anti-Christian, highly sexualized vulgarity, along with their decadent life style and production system.  The leftists and liberals are mostly dumbed down socialists, communists, anti-Christian, perverse hippy minded, welfare indoctrinated, lazy, unethical, non-working bums (just send me a government check).

The Democrats and Rinos, the group doing the most damage with the most to lose, have a different agenda.   And the other mentioned groups may not be aware of their schemes, of which will completely destroy them if the one-worlders accomplish their agenda.  It is not certain how the Dems and Rinos are connected to this one-world plot.  They may have been inducted into parts of the elite’s vision, perhaps with promises of greatness and wealth.  They may believe they will be immune when the destruction of earth’s society takes place (if the elites get their way, which will not happen).

The Deep State Agenda
And what is their agenda?  Much of this information has been previously posted as The 16 Year Plan.  http://freedomfromdelusion.blogspot.com/2018/09/q-via-prayingmedic-16-year-plan-to.html

The 16 year plan represents the final actions needed to complete the premeditated one-world government system.  It actually began much earlier with the implementation of the Federal Reserve organization in 1913.  Over the years various wars and incursions were enacted to destabilize various sections of the world including the Middle East.

This perverse plan included several steps to downgrade the USA in various manners, but the bottom line is the reduction of the USA to the status of a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY inhabited by a small population of homogenous brown-skinned people.  With virtually no education, this type of group is considered easy to control.

The outlined steps of the plan all lead toward the final result.  The initiatives included:  leaking military information (i.e. Hillary’s unsecured server with open access to the Chinese); dismissing or firing non-agreeing Generals and other military personnel; open borders; a blind eye to North Korean and Iranian nuclear weapons; a ban of firearms; and the (not listed) elimination of USA manufacturing and industry (i.e. no employment).

The ban and confiscation of all firearms is highly important to the one-world cabal.  A nation is not easily overthrown if the citizens can protect themselves and fight back (i.e. think Nazi Germany or modern Venezuela).  The Democrats keep trying to disarm the nation while maintaining hopes Mr. Trump will somehow be forced to leave and they can continue with their globalist agenda.

The Obama administration invoked many destructive bills, rules, regulations, additions to the EPA, tax laws, etc. that coerced many industries and manufacturing companies to leave the USA and set up operations in several Asian areas, mostly China where the labor is cheaper.  The original one-world plan designated China as the new world center of all manufacturing and industry. 

Due to the oppressive regulations, many companies have moved their operations out of the USA resulting in a major loss of decent paying jobs and related employment.  Mr. Trump has attempted to bring back industrial production by levying tariffs, lowering taxes, and abolishing trade agreements not favorable to the USA.  Some progress has been made but overall improvement has been and will be slow.

The reduction or elimination of illegal migrant immigration is the major hurdle to stop the transition to a third world country with the Democrats fighting back all the way.  The USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia have all been attacked by a migrant infusion that leaches from the various governments.

I may be wrong and I may be labeled a racist but it appears the goal is to eliminate the once Christian Caucasian population within the aforementioned countries and areas.  The Caucasian population of what was once Rhodesia along with South Africa have already been taken from power and mostly eliminated from South Africa.  Historically, Caucasians have accepted the Gospel of Christ, they have built cities, successfully farmed crops, have had stable governments, built viable infrastructures, and have been among the top groups for inventions, medicines, science, and education.  They are the group the one-worlders need and want to eliminate.  https://freedomfromdelusion.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-racist-tide-has-turned-white.html

Since the early 2000’s the Chinese have been constructing vast new cities in places where there is very little population.  Seeing the photos of these massive new city complexes once amazed me back in the early 2000’s.  When I was, at that time, consumed with the dispensational concept of a literal seven year tribulation period complete with an “antichrist” type world ruler, it was assumed these would be cities to relocate the majority of the population after a nuclear war.

It now appears evident the Chinese were building these cities to house the workers and executives of the world’s complete industrial manufacturing complexes that would be located around these new cities.  They are currently vacant or almost vacant.  Perhaps the Chinese government officials had a change of heart or perhaps the election of Donald Trump, rather than Hillary Clinton, put a temporary halt in their proposed one-world expectations.

The Chinese have recently gone a different direction with their Belt and Road initiative along with various methods to work around the petrol dollar and the SWIFT system.

China Building Mega Cities - Remain Empty Ghost Towns

CHINA is building new cities at an estimated rate of up to 12 to 24 a year - but they are ghost towns marked by empty homes and shops.

Enormous Chinese Cities Completely Empty Of People

Sarah Jacobs   Business Insider  Wednesday 4 October 2017 17:34


These mysterious and almost completely empty cities are a part of China's larger plan to move up to 300 million citizens currently living in rural areas into urban locations (i.e. this comment is not true).

Failed Economy
One of the major tenants of the currently failed Hillary plan was to completely kill the economy.  The strategy was to have the Federal Reserve invoke a major recession in 2020.  This plan has been touted and announced by most of the MSM stations and newspapers.  This was also supposed to be followed by a major war.  According to the X-22 Report, it is also the President’s and the Patriot’s plan to have a somewhat failed economy by eliminating the Federal Reserve, the petrol dollar, and then invoke a new gold based economy with the government printing and producing interest free currency.

It may seem that Trump is on the same page as the deep state but the Patriots know the problems now engulfing this country and the world is due to the Federal Reserve Bank and other Central Banks around the world.  The 16 year plan included some type of WWIII, hopefully initiated by Russia but they were willing to allow North Korea or Iran to begin the process.

This, most likely, nuclear war would allow the Federal Reserve to relocate to some other part of the world, provide a persuasive excuse for the failure of the US economy, and mitigate the final collapse of all Caucasian countries such as the USA, Russia, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

Why the importance of the Federal Reserve?  It was the first central bank in existence to print the money for a country and then loan it to them at interest.  It is also the central bank tied to the petrol-dollar as a global currency.  With the petrol-dollar system the USA Federal Reserve is currently the central bank of the world’s central banks.

Petrodollars and the System that Created It

The petrodollar is any U.S. dollar paid to oil-exporting countries in exchange for oil. Since the dollar is a global currency, all international transactions are priced in dollars. As a result, oil-exporting nations must receive dollars.

That makes their national income dependent on the dollar's value. As a result, most of America's trade partners also peg their currencies to the dollar.

The petrodollar system originated at the 1944 Bretton Woods conference. After World War II, the United States held most of the world's supply of gold. It agreed to redeem any U.S. dollars for its value in gold if all other countries pegged their currencies to the dollar. That established the dollar as the world's reserve currency.

In 1971, U.S. stagflation prompted the United Kingdom to redeem most of its U.S. dollars for gold. President Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard to protect the remaining gold reserves.

In 1979, the United States and Saudi Arabia negotiated the United States-Saudi Arabian Joint Commission on Economic Cooperation. They agreed to use American dollars for paying against oil contracts. The U.S. dollars would be recycled back to America through contracts with the U.S. contractors. 

Dave, of the X-22 Report fame, repeatedly claims the Federal Reserve petrol-dollar system of printing money and loaning it to the government at interest, is a system that will eventually implode as it has in the past.  They always need a costly war to reset their existence such as WWI and WWII (perhaps even the Korean and Vietnam wars).  They were expecting a reset war with Hillary in office but that didn’t happen (they never thought she would lose).  Now they are panicking without securing an exit route.

This may explain NATO’s insistence of crowding Russia with military, and the deep state’s persistence on staying in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.  He (Dave) also claims (without any viable proof) that Trump and Chairman Powell are working together to end the Federal Reserve.  Hopefully he is correct and it appears that he may be.

Since the deep state players, including the Democrats, never thought Hillary would lose the election, none of them bothered to clean up the evidence of their crimes.  In his latest drops (i.e. 8-chan posts), Qanon seems to claim that the declassed documents will soon be released along with the FISA documents and their information.

Modern Tribulation
Although I firmly believe the Revelation is a prophetic history of the Church there are some aspects of the metaphoric prophecies that may justify a secondary fulfillment.

Several sections of the Revelation reveal invasions of Muslims, Mongols, and northern tribes.  The current migration and importation of various Muslims and Africans (said to be sponsored and funded by George Soros) into Europe could be a secondary fulfillment of the Middle Ages invasion of the middle Eastern Arabs.  This is also occurring within the USA but mostly composed of Latin Americans. 

Similar to the Church during the prophecies of the Revelation, there has been little, if any, repentance.

Revelation 9:21 NET Furthermore, they did not repent of their murders, of their magic spells, of their sexual immorality, or of their stealing.

Another issue mentioned by dispensational commentators is the existence of a one world religion.  It appears the Pope/Vatican (Daniel’s “little horn” and the 1st beast from the sea) is attempting to unite the Catholic Church with Islamism.  This would be an appropriate action for the one-world central bankers (the 2nd beast from the earth) to assist in eliminating Christianity and transferring the population to a Satanic form of religion.

The Pope And Islam’s Most Important Imam Just Signed A Covenant That Pushes Us Much Closer To A One World Religion
by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

Conclusion
Every day, more people claim that “the end is near” (pardon the expression) and that Jesus must soon return.  In several articles from Dr. Stephen Jones and posted on Freedom from Delusion the principle of the current disintegration of the Babylonian banking system and sexual decadence is now happening. 

Situations and events may go from bad to worse in the near future.  The deep state, one-world criminals will not go down easily.  The Democrats and Rinos are fighting back against Mr. Trump and they will play every card possible.  Hopefully, these conditions will not last much longer and the initiation of the Millennial Kingdom of God will begin.

Judgment On America Began With The Election Of Barack Hussein Obama


Donald John Trump was elected as the 45th president of these United States by the sovereign act of an almighty God’s will to place into power, and to remove from power, anyone He so chooses. So as we are passing the two and a half year mark of his presidency, a message from my pastor and a recent exchange with longtime NTEB reader Laura earlier today made me realize it was time to once again check in with some of the reasons behind why God would choose to use a man like Donald J. Trump.

Daniel 2:21-22 (KJV)  “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”

Back in 2012, I wrote an article entitled ‘Obama Is The King God Has Given To Reign Over America In the Last Days‘, and in that article I spoke about how, in my opinion, God has started to judge America as a nation. I honestly did not think that America would survive much past 8 years of rule by the Kenyan, Barry Soetoro, a true ‘manchurian candidate‘ if ever there was one. But though we did survive Obama, and have continued forward, it sooned dawned on me that the judgement from God was going to continue under Donald Trump. Albeit for entirely different reasons than it did with Obama.

1 Samuel 8:7-9 (KJV)  “And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.”

The presidency of Barack Obama was God’s direct judgment upon America, just as God making Saul king over Israel was actually a judgement on Israel for their rebellion against God. But the presidency of Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a judgment upon the world. And what better way to judge the world than by using the nation that has the world’s largest economy and the world’s strongest military – America!

Zechariah 14:1-2 (KJV)  “Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.”

God's Governmental Ages by S Jones


GOD'S GOVERNMENTAL AGES

Dec 06, 2018 by Dr. Stephen Jones


When Darby developed his idea of Dispensationalism in the 1850’s, he seemed to know little or nothing about the feast of Tabernacles. For this reason, his idea of the “rapture” was based on his partial knowledge of Scripture. He understood that Christ was returning, but he missed Christ’s real purpose in returning as well as the manner of His return.

Further, Darby had an understanding of Passover and Pentecost insofar as their personal applications were concerned, but he did not see the feasts as representing specific ages in the history of the kingdom. What he called the Age of Law (from Moses to Christ) is actually a Passover Age, beginning with that first Passover that set Israel free from Egypt, and ending with the Passover where Christ died on the cross.

Darby contrasted the age of “Law” with the age of “Grace,” as if men ought to cease obeying the law after the cross. That was a serious misperception that has justified sin in the church, because “sin is lawlessness” (1 John 3:4). The truth is that the cross ended the Passover Age, wherein God had established the Kingdom under the partial anointing of Passover.

After a short interim of seven weeks, that age was replaced by a Pentecostal Age, wherein believers were given greater power and authority to establish the Kingdom with a greater anointing. There is no question that the disciples received something on the day of Pentecost that they had not enjoyed earlier. Neither was it just a matter of performing miracles, for the disciples themselves performed many miracles even prior to the day of Pentecost.

The Passover Kingdom
The Passover Kingdom was established in the days of Moses at Mount Horeb, when God organized the first Kingdom government and set forth a fuller revelation of the laws of the Kingdom. We know from Old Testament history that this first Kingdom was flawed, not because the law was imperfect but because the law was imposed upon them from the outside. The people (that is, their carnal minds) were rebellious, and even though Israel saw many revivals in their history, the people always fell away in the next generation.

In the end, the Passover Kingdom ended in failure when Israel was destroyed and sent into captivity in the Assyrian territory known as Gamir (Ghomri, or Gomer). Judah was likewise taken to Babylon for 70 years. However, Judah had to return in order for Jesus to be born in Bethlehem 600 years later. Judah, then, was the remnant of that Passover Kingdom, not truly independent as a nation, but yet not fully destroyed until 70 A.D.

Judah’s final sin of rejecting the Messiah (John 1:11) ended the Passover Kingdom and set the stage for the next phase, the Pentecostal Kingdom.

The Pentecost Kingdom
King Saul had been crowned king on the day of “wheat harvest” (1 Samuel 12:17) and that this was the day the priest offered the first fruits of wheat as a signal that the people now harvest their wheat. In later years the day was known by the Greek name, Pentecost, “fiftieth day,” because this feast day in Israel occurred on the fiftieth day from the wave sheaf offering (Leviticus 23:16). By understanding that Saul was crowned on Pentecost tells us that the Age of Pentecost was characterized governmentally by the reign of “Saul” on a prophetic level.

This strongly implied that there was yet to be an age that was greater, one that would characterize the reign of David. It would also tell us that even though Pentecost was more powerful than Passover, it was not yet perfect. Likewise, since Saul was of Benjamin, he was not even of the ruling tribe, for Judah had been given the scepter in Genesis 49:10. Hence, Saul was doomed to fail in the end, even though theoretically he might have ruled perpetually, if he had not become rebellious (1 Samuel 15:23).

The Roman Church, of course, has never understood this, and their ignorance of Scripture has caused them to teach that its reign will never end. The fact is that the Church in the Pentecostal Age was most certainly going to fulfill the entire pattern of King Saul, starting out good but falling into rebellion, and ending in witchcraft (witch of Endor). The corruption in the Roman Church and in other denominations as well are easily explained and understood by comparing church history with the reign of Saul.

Applying the feast days beyond the personal applications allows us to see how God is working in the world at large to establish His Kingdom. His Kingdom certainly begins in the hearts of men and progresses as we grow to spiritual maturity; but the Kingdom is also a nation having a form of government in the earth. The object of such Kingdom government is to restore Christ’s rule as the One called as King of Creation.

The Tabernacles Kingdom
The third manifestation of the Kingdom is characterized by the feast of Tabernacles. Tabernacles is often called “the lost feast,” because so few Christians knew of it during the Pentecostal Age. It was not really until the time of the Latter Rain Movement (1948-1952) that it was given as a revelation to the church, and even then, most denominations closed their ears to that truth.

In October 1995 God gave me revelation of the three churches. I was shown that the feast days represented three successive ages, three successive phases of the Kingdom, and that these could also be seen as three churches. Acts 7:38 KJV speaks of “the church in the wilderness” (under Moses), and so Scripture describes the Passover Kingdom as a “church.” From the New Testament we understand the nature of the church under the anointing of Pentecost. But these two churches imply a third church in the Tabernacles Age.

Each church is called out of something for the purpose of gathering as an assembly. The first church was called out of Egypt to assemble at Mount Horeb (or Sinai). The second church was called out of Judah to assemble at Mount Sion (Hebrews 12:22 KJV). We read in Deuteronomy 4:48 tells us that Mount Hermon was called Sion.
Sion is not Zion. Zion was where David set up His government. Sion (Mount Hermon) was where Jesus was transfigured, manifesting His glory as the Son of God. Sion represents the government of the heavenly Jerusalem. It is the capital of the Tabernacles Kingdom, which will be ruled by the sons of God when they experience the same sort of transfiguration that changes them, perfects them, and gives them full immortality (1 Corinthians 15:51, 53).

The Fulfillment of the Feast Days
Most Christians are aware that Jesus died on the cross to fulfill the feast of Passover and that He was raised from the dead to fulfill the wave-sheaf offering. Not many know that Pentecost was a feast day established under Moses to commemorate the giving of the law at Mount Horeb. Neither do they understand that in later years Saul was crowned on Pentecost as a prophetic type of the Pentecostal Church.

Jesus fulfilled the first set of feasts (Passover to Pentecost) in His first coming. The second set of feasts, Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles, prophesy of Christ’s second coming. Yet hardly anyone seems to understand this. Certainly, Darby and Scofield did not know this, and their ignorance of the feast days caused them to misunderstand many things about the second coming of Christ. Their “rapture” theory was based on a very partial understanding of the Word.

Darby’s idea of Dispensationalism was that Christ was to return at the start of a seven-year period called The Great Tribulation. The dead were to be raised and church was to be “raptured” to heaven so that the true believers could escape this Tribulation, while the Antichrist ruled the earth. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit would be removed from the earth, essentially making it impossible for anyone on earth to become a believer. During those seven years, the Jews would remain on the earth, and 144,000 of them would preach (unsuccessfully) to those in tribulation.

At the end of this Tribulation, Christ is said to return to rule the earth with His saints.

Others disputed with Darby and Scofield, modifying their views to suit their own understanding. Some thought that this “rapture” would occur in the middle of the seven-year tribulation, while others believed in a single return of Christ at the end of the Tribulation. Hence, Bible colleges debated these theories without questioning the foundations of the “rapture” theory itself.

I do not question the fact of Christ’s return, of course, but I believe we ought to conform to the revelation of the feast days in our understanding of eschatology. The feast of Trumpets marks the day of resurrection “at the last trumpet” (1 Corinthians 15:52). I believe the resurrection will occur in some (unknown) year at the feast of Trumpets, even as Christ died on Passover and the Holy Spirit was given on Pentecost.

Trumpets was established in Numbers 10:2, 3, 4 shortly before the Davy of Atonement, when the 12 spies gave their report (Numbers 13, 14). If the people had agreed to enter the Kingdom at that time, and if they had believed the report of Caleb and Joshua, they would have fulfilled the feast of Tabernacles. I believe they would have conquered Canaan in a single week. But such a conquest would have required more faith than they had at the time. In fact, because they had already rejected the Pentecostal word at Mount Horeb (Exodus 20:19), it was a foregone conclusion that they would lack sufficient faith to enter the Tabernacles Kingdom.

The point is that Trumpets is the day of resurrection and is the first event on the prophetic calendar to be fulfilled. “The dead in Christ will rise first,” Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 4:16. The second event on the calendar is the Day of Atonement, where those who have sufficient faith will blow the trumpet (shofar, not silver trumpet) for the Jubilee, reversing the evil report that caused the Israelites to refuse to enter the Kingdom in Numbers 14:4.

The Israelites had turned that Jubilee into the Day of Atonement, a day of mourning and fasting for refusing to enter the Kingdom. The overcoming sons of God at the second coming of Christ will reverse that decision and turn the Day of Atonement back into the Jubilee.

Trumpets comes on the first day of the seventh month. The Day of Atonement (or Jubilee) is held on the tenth day of the same month. Tabernacles begins five days later on the fifteenth day of the month, and this is the day where “we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). Darby used this verse to describe the “rapture,” that is, the catching away (to heaven).

I maintain that this is a Tabernacles experience, where the overcoming sons of God are to be transfigured, or “changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51) into the image of Christ. Once changed, they can then come into full unity with those who were raised from the dead two weeks earlier at the feast of Trumpets, so that together they may become one perfected body.

Then all that is lacking is a Head to perfect the body and make that body of saints eligible to be presented to God in heaven on the eighth day of Tabernacles. John 7:14 suggests that Christ will come in the middle of the feast of Tabernacles.

The law demands that the sons of God be presented only on an eighth day (Exodus 22:29, 30). Those “sons” are born on the first day of Tabernacles and by law must be presented to God on the eighth day.

By not taking into account the feast days, Darby did not understand the timing of each event in regard to the second coming of Christ. Instead, he threw them all together as if all of these events were to take place in a single moment of time. The dead would be raised first, and as they shot skyward, the living saints were to be right behind them, tickling their feet (as I was told) on the way up to heaven.

The feast days, however, set the timing of each event in its proper sequence. The feast days are the appointed times. The resurrection occurs on the first day of the seventh month; the Day of Atonement comes nine days later as the Decision Day; the transfiguration of the living saints comes on the fifteenth day of the month, which is the first day of Tabernacles.

Then Christ must return between the first and the eighth day of Tabernacles, so that the Head is joined to the body, making the body complete, and making the body eligible to be presented to God. The presentation must occur on the eighth day of Tabernacles. Then this collective “Son” will return the same day to be manifested to the people on earth.

I have discussed these events more fully elsewhere with biblical proofs. This is only a short summary, and if this is new material to any reader, I suggest that he or she should pursue this study to learn the details.

My point is to show that Darby’s Dispensationalism, which is now mainstream evangelical eschatology, needs to be revised considerably to take into account the revelation of the feast days revealed in Scripture. Studying those feasts give us a clearer view of prophecy and establish the order of timing, both the Ages and the actual events that fulfill those appointed times.
