Some two thousand years ago the disciples of Jesus asked Him a very profound question,”What are the signs of the end of the world?”
Jesus replied, “You shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences (deadly diseases), and earthquakes, in divers places.” Matthew 24:3-8
The end of the world is preceded by a period called The Tribulation. It is a time of unprecedented troubles, disasters, catastrophes, pain, sufferings and deaths.
The 7-year Tribulation is divided into two periods of 3½ years each.
The Bible warns of a powerful and influential global leader who would come on the scene in the end-time and deceive the nations of the world. He is the Antichrist.
The Antichrist enters into an Agreement with many, triggering the 7-year Tribulation.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. Daniel 9:27a
Is the Antichrist Hiding in Plain Sight?The First 3½ Years is known as The Beginning of Sorrows
Escalation in wars, rumours of wars, famines, deadly diseases and earthquakes. Matthew 24:6 & 8, Revelation 6:8; 9:2-6; 17 & 18
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.The Second 3½ Years is known as The Great Tribulation
Mid-way through the Tribulation, the Antichrist breaks the Agreement he had with many, triggering the second half of the Tribulation.
And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. Daniel 9:27b
Man are infected with painful sores, scorched by the heat of the sun and stoned by hail from heaven. Revelation 16:1 & 2; 8 & 9; 21
By this time, half of our world’s population is wiped out.The Mark of the Beast System is instituted.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16 & 17
Armageddon
The Antichrist gathers the armies of the world to battle Jesus and His army at Armageddon, ending the world as we know it. Revelation 16:14 & 16
The Antichrist’s covenant with many marks the beginning of the Tribulation.
A series of events takes place during the 7-year Tribulation, among others:-
The falling away of the Church.
An escalation of wars, rumours of wars and earthquakes.
Widespread famines and deadly diseases.

We want to believe in a pre-tribulation rapture as that is the easiest route out of the Tribulation, but are you seeing tribulational events as described in Matthew 24, 2 Thessalonians 2 and Revelation taking place?
If you are, it can only mean one of two things…, you missed the Rapture or the Pre-tribulational rapture does not exist.
All these pains, sufferings and deaths are God’s wrath upon the Earth. God judges the nations by simply lifting His hand to allow the devil to have his ways with man.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:21
What are My Options?
Believe Jesus as my Saviour, and be spared the wrath of God on Earth and in the afterlife.
Cooperate with the Antichrist and his regime and pray that they would be merciful to me and my family.
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. Proverbs 12:10b
Join the Resistance and fight the Antichrist and his army.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Revelation 13:7
Be a martyr for Christ.
And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Revelation 6:11
Prepare to bug out of the System and live off-grid.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains. Matthew 24:15-16
Bugging Out and Living Off-grid
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37-39
