The 7 Years of the Great Tribulation.
(Not included in the dispensation of Grace).

The Great Tribulation is a time period left over from the dispensation of the Law which had been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. After the rapture of the Body of Christ (when the dispensastion of Grace ends), God will continue His program for the Israelites (Romans 11: 25-26). For that program, God restored Israel to the land of Palestine, after they experienced a long period of exile since 70 AD.
In 1948, the Israelites became an independent state according to the prophecies in Ezekiel 11: 7 and Ezekiel 36: 23-24. But the Great Tribulation has not gone by now. The commencement of this period is marked with the Temple being rebuilt in Jerusalem, because the Temple will be the center of Judaism as the Twelve Apostles had done their ministry before (Acts 21: 17-21).
At this Great Tribulation time, God chose 144,000 unmarried men from all the tribes of Israel who believe Jesus was the Messiah (Revelation 7: 4-8, 14: 3-4). They will be accompanied by two witnesses who descend from heaven (Revelation 11: 3-12), then will evangelize the world with the Gospel of the Kingdom for three and a half years (Matthew 24:12, Revelation 11: 3).
This Great Tribulation time will last for 7 (seven) years, then in the middle of 7 years it appears the abomination of desolation at the temple in Jerusalem (Matthew 24:15, Daniel 11:31, 9:27, 12:11). This abomination of desolation is called the Antichrist (the beast), he will rule on earth for three and a half years (Revelation 13: 5).
At that time the Israelites will flee to the desert where they will be nourished by God (Matthew 24:16, Revelation 12: 6, 14). This Great Tribulation will be ended with the day of God’s wrath. Those who are still alive at the time and whose names were not recorded in the book of life will experience the wrath of God. Those who wish to die, for how painful the agony is to live at that time, they will not die / can not die accidentally and/or deliberately (Revelation 9: 4-6, 14: 10-11).
The day of God’s wrath at the end of the Great Tribulation will end with a war in Armageddon (the valley of Megiddo in the land of Palestine). In this war the Lord Jesus Christ will overcome the soldiers that are mobilized by the Antichrist (Revelation 16:16, 19: 19-20). Then the Antichrist and the false prophet will be seized by the Lord Jesus and both will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20). The Devil of the old serpent was held captive in a bottomless pit for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-3). Thus, the Great Tribulation that is relatively shortened will have come to an end.
If only we lived in the time of Noah, we would’ve seen his ark is about to be done. Get yourself right with God, for the time is getting critical that He will really come soon.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12 (KJV)
❝And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.❞
Acts 16:31 (KJV)
