I wonder if most of us remember what directly precedes the launch of the Tribulation?
The way that Jesus, Paul, John & Daniel all describe the start of the Tribulation is not with disasters, wars, famines, and pestilences.
The Tribulation begins, according to the Bible, with global peace, safety, and prosperity.
Decade after decade, we in Christ’s church have been well taught about the inexorable slide our world is in, heading towards the final war.
Armageddon and the apocalyptic events associated with it are even part of secular media reports. We hear regularly of the dangers of nuclear war, bioterrorism, pollution, and global warming.
It seems like every day, we are seeing more and more of what the Bible talks about, with our world plunging deeper into chaos, ethnic conflicts, horrific acts of terrorism and aggression, and what seems like more and more natural disasters. God’s Word warns of all these plagues, quakes, and famines. Do all those conditions mean that the Tribulation is close? The real question we need to find the answer to from God’s Word is:
Which Comes First: Global Peace or Global Holocaust?
Is Earth sliding straight down the slope into the fiery destruction, demon hordes, solar scorching, and global holocaust as described in Revelation? In other words, will things get darker and darker, and disasters amplify until the Tribulation scene bursts into view? The answer God’s Word gives may surprise you.
Ultimately, all those disasters will hit, but temporarily. God says a time of unprecedented prosperity and peace is coming our way.
Although all those prophesied disasters are coming, God explains that just prior to the Tribulation, the world experiences the peace, safety, prosperity, and harmony that mankind has always dreamed of.
Before the worst time in history, the world may see the best times humans have ever enjoyed this side of the Garden of Eden.
Revelation 6:2 reminds us this morning that the peace and safety that humans have cried out for over the past six thousand years since the fall of humanity into sin is finally going to come. But it is a:
Temporary Global Peace & Safety
