Our anticipation of the Rapture is overwhelming! That said, we are again one day closer! But a lifelong question I have had still remains unanswered! Why does it always seem to be the innocent, ignorant, simple and mostly uninformed who suffer at the hands of the wicked? Those who cannot defend themselves and often times many who love God are led as like sheep to the slaughter! Why has this always been and why does the Lord allow this to be so?! As opposed to those who hate, reject and dishonor God openly?! Why are the wicked allowed to prosper?! Theological attempts to give an answer always still fall way short of bringing any emotional relief or adequate understanding to why the Lord allows this! Even knowing all have sinned and fall short of God's righteousness does'nt really explain this ongoing reality! Let alone the concept of the righteous being afflicted! Even God showing no favoritism, why does He allow himself to be put into the position of having to take vengeance rather that administer justice evenly??? Again, emotionally this just does'nt seem to define God's love?!?! TR Again this the paradigm the Lord has chosen, but the reasons why have eluded me my whole life! I still do not see how the Lord is thereby glorified simply playing the part of avenger, while the injustice of this paradigm is born on the backs of so many! While when His son was sent to Earth knowing that He too would be subject to this same paradigm?! TR Perhaps in the same way that God looked for a man who would sacrifice his own beloved son before the Lord could send Jesus?! IE: Abraham! God wanting us to take part in Christ's sufferings?! Apparently both deity and man sharing in that same experience?! Which also brings to mind the purpose of inter-generational curses and blessings! TR I don’t understand it either … with all the abortions to the deadly plagues that were man made in a lab to purposely harm others for their sick agenda of depopulation control. I’m amazed the church is still here to witness all this evil unfolding with this vaccine craziness stuff. I wonder who is left to survive the tribulation if they really are able to meet their target goal? I was just rereading some of the chapters in Revelation to break it all down … 5th seal broken - Tribulation saints are martyred 6th seal broken - Great Earthquake/sun turns black/moon turns blood red/stars fall and fig tree shakes unripe figs off the branches from a mighty wind (Tornado)? :unsure: Heaven departs as a scroll, mountains and islands moved out of their places (polar shift) occurs … those that have underground shelters try to hide. Revelation 7:9. A great multitude which no man could number of all nations (tribulation saints) stood before the Throne. Verse 16 they shall hunger no more neither thirst any more. Revelation 8 Trumpet Judgments start Verse 7 one angel sends hail/fire mingled with blood cast to the earth …. A great mountain burning with fire cast into the sea Great star fell from heaven burning as a lamp (Asteroid)? :unsure: 1/3 of the sun 1/3 of the moon 1/3 of the star were darkened Woe Woe Woe to the inhabitants of the earth because … Revelation 9:1-3. Demonic locust come out of the bottomless pit This shows a believer and a future believer have the seal of God in their foreheads and the demons know who will get saved. This is why we get attack spiritually and have all sorts of things go wrong because we are praying for others and sharing the Gospel.
Revelation 6:1-4 the 4 seals are broken
White Horse - AC revealed
Red Horse - war
Black Horse - famine
Pale Horse - death plague - 1/4 of the earth dies - killed from the sword, hunger and from the beast of the earth attacking man because they were hungry too
7th seal broken … silence in heaven for 1/2 hour
1/3 of the trees burnt up and ALL GREEN GRASS was burnt up.
1/3 of sea becomes blood
1/3 of sea creature died
1/3 of the ships destroyed
1/3 of rivers & fountains of waters turned bitter wormwood and many died of the waters.
Revelation 9:4 they should not hurt the grass of the earth … (but all the grass was burnt up in Revelation 8:7)? :scratch: Neither any green thing, neither any tree but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads should be tormented 5 months like a scorpion ….
