The Great Tribulation: The wrath of God that is coming upon this earth.


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

In the 1980's, I had a dream where the earth slipped on it's axis.  People were terrified.  The politicians were meeting with the scientists and with the religious leaders to see what to try to do.

(Of course nothing can be done for this defies man and shows man he is not in control.)

One of the most graphic parts of this dream concerned a TV newsman who was trying to tell the story on TV news, of what was happening.  He was so frightened he couldn't finish the news telecast and he just stopped speaking.  He knew it affected him and not just people on the other side of the camera.

The solar system was created by God HIMSELF and is kept in place by God.

II Peter 3:3-7    Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,  And saying, Where is the promise of HIS coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:


But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

But the point comes when the day of the Lord comes.  

Jesus explains:

Luke 21:25-36    And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.  So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

After Jesus returns and gathers the church, the full wrath of God will come upon this earth.

There are many who say they are Christians and say they believe in Jesus, but they cast aside portions of scripture and do not know by doing such they become antichrist, against Christ.

They are ungodly men though they say "Jesus is Lord" and they attend a church group.   Many of these ungodly men are the pastors who lead the group and assure the church that the new doctrines are inspired by God, while they eliminate instructions of the Bible.

The wrath of God comes upon "ungodly men."

I do not believe ungodly men in churches will be removed before the full wrath of God comes upon the earth, for the wrath of God comes because of the ungodly men, because of those who cast aside the Word of God.


*****

Therefore the ungodly will go through the great tribulation where the wrath of God is poured out upon this world before the final destruction of this present earth by God.

*****


The wrath of God that is coming upon the entire world is described for us beginning with Revelation 8.

1-8    And when HE had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.


And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

***

6-13    And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 

***
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 

***

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;  And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.


*** 

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. 

***

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. 


***

And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

The wrath of God is sent upon the earth in parts ... one thing happens, then another, then another with a time space between the wraths and subsequent results.

When the change comes in the amount of sun and the increase of darkness upon the earth, expect to see a vast change in growing seasons, resulting in loss of crops which will cause food problems upon the whole earth.  Thus famines and pestilences upon humans and animals on this earth.

When that great mountain, burning with fire, is cast into the sea and death results, we can easily think of what we have already seen from volcanos.  The ash and fire of lava causes great destruction.  Scientists today report the ash is filled with tiny shreds of glass which causes a shredding of a man's lungs and death.  (American Experience:  PBS TV ... Yellowstone and the great volcano)

When Mount St. Helens erupted in USA in 1980, scientists learned many things about the destruction.  They estimate far greater eruptions under the ground of Yellowstone National Park and they expect a great eruption.  This is certainly a visible and tangible object which we can imagine based on that which we read in the book of Revelation.  The great tribulation will have great earthquakes which torment men who continue to live on this earth.

The things will get so bad that men will seek death and will not be able to find death.

We know the scriptures which tell us the great men and small men both hide themselves in caves of the earth and ask for the earth to fall on them and hide them from the wrath of God.

Men cast their silver and gold into the streets because they know it is worthless now to them.

One plague is a type of insect which has a sting like a scorpion and is appointed to torment men who have the mark of the beast for five months.

There are appointed times and length of times for the various wraths sent by God upon the earth.

Read Revelation 9-16 for details.


*****

The prophets of the Old Testament spoke of this wrath of God.

Amos 5:18-20    Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.

As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?


***

Joel 1:15-20     Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?

The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. 



How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. 

(Remember when trumpet #1 sounded, the following happened:  there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.  Revelation 8)


Joel 1:19-20
  O Lord, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.


The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness. 


***

Joel 2:1-3    Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

10    The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

30-32    And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
    
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. 

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.


***

For those who are still alive on this earth when the great tribulation begins, the significant point marking the great tribulation and the return of Jesus is Joel 2:31.

*   The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

When we see the sun turned into darkness and the moon into blood, we should then know the great tribulation is upon this world.

Joel 3:15-16  The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.


***

Isaiah 1:21-24    How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: 

(The scriptures have been watered down by adding other doctrines and weakening the Bible)

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.


Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of Mine adversaries, and avenge Me of Mine enemies:


***

Isaiah 2:8    Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

(The men coming to me today never tell me anything God has said to them.  They just tell me of their own works:  building orphanages, caring for old people, setting up schools, having meetings and giving away Bibles for which they do not have the money and beg others to pay for)

10-12    Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

19-22   And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when HE ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when HE ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?



***


Isaiah 3:9-11    The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. 

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

***

Isaiah 5:24    Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

II Thessalonians 2:3-4   for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 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.

(Church people will fall away from scripture and set up another doctrine in the church.  They fall away from the doctrine of Christ, the doctrine of the Bible.)


***

Isaiah 8:22   And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

***

Isaiah 13:9-11    Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and HE shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.



***

Matthew 24:29-32   Jesus says:  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:
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. 

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.

Where do we who hold fast the Word of God and refuse to compromise the Word fit?
I have no doubt at some point we will be taken out.

There are many phases to the coming wrath of God.  It could go on for decades.

The key for the beginning should be the powers of heaven shaken where the earth slips on it's axis and the sun goes dark and the moon refuses to shine and the stars fall from heaven.

You will not need TV news to tell you it is happening if you are still on the earth.  All people of the entire earth will know this is happening for it will affect all on this earth.

Recently I was looking at a list of CNN headlines.

I heard:  "What are you looking there for?"

*****

Jesus says:

Matthew 7:21-23   

Not every one that saith unto ME, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to ME in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Only those works authored by God will stand.
