The Greatest End Time Revival Is Coming.

For decades, many people have been yearning for revival. The nations of the world is poised for the greatest revival in history and we know exactly when it will happen.

Over the course of time, many revivalists have entered the stage and thousands came to hear their preaching but what about today?

Will we see the kinds of "revivals" that were recorded in history?

The Bible has the answer as to when this final end time revival will take place.

If you're left behind, this is what you're to expect.

Many people will disagree with this interpretation, but if we've died in Christ, our arguments of interpretation won't matter. We all will get some things right and wrong.

To be dogmatic or ironclad about this interpretation is the wrong approach because we all can miss it.

But let's cut right to the chase.

1. WHO ARE THE ONES KILLED DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION?

2. WHEN WILL THEY BE KILLED?

   
   

Revelation 6:9-11 (NKJV)

"When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed."

As you Bible Study students know, this is the 5th seal of 7 that the Lord Jesus would break open.

The mystery of the Book of the Revelation (Apocalypse) of Jesus Christ is not in complete sequential or chronological order and you have to read it several times to understand certain patterns.

If you were to go to the 7th chapter of Revelation, you'll see a connection.

Revelation 7:9-17 (NKJV) "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:

“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,

Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,

Be to our God forever and ever.

Amen.”

Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”

And I said to him, “Sir, you know.”

So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple.

And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

What's the answer to when will these people, that no man could number, be killed and why would they be killed?

Here's the answer.

Revelation 13:11-17 (NKJV) "Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

During Covid 19, the world received a taste of a mandate. It alarmed so many people that some of them thought that this was the mark of the Beast.

People were compelled to receive the "jab" or they will not be able to work, get paid, buy or sell anything unless you could prove (vaccine passport) that you were vaccinated.

The key to these two passages is called "The Great Tribulation."

The first indication of "The Great Tribulation" is in the OT (Old Testament).

Jeremiah 30:4-7 (NKJV) Now these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.

“For thus says the LORD:

‘We have heard a voice of trembling,

Of fear, and not of peace.

Ask now, and see,

Whether a man is ever in labor with child?

So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins

Like a woman in labor,

And all faces turned pale?

Alas! For that day is great,

So that none is like it;

And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble,

But he shall be saved out of it.

Israel and the whole world will see a day that they've never seen before.

The second reference to the Great Tribulation is found in the Book of Daniel.

Daniel 9:27 (NKJV)

Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;

But in the middle of the week

He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.

And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,

Even until the consummation, which is determined,

Is poured out on the desolate.”

Daniel 12:1-4 (NKJV)

“At that time Michael shall stand up,

The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;

And there shall be a time of trouble,

Such as never was since there was a nation,

Even to that time.

And at that time your people shall be delivered,

Every one who is found written in the book.

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,

Some to everlasting life,

Some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Those who are wise shall shine

Like the brightness of the firmament,

And those who turn many to righteousness

Like the stars forever and ever.

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Daniel 12:9-13 (NKJV)

"And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

“And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.“But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

The Lord Jesus further expounds on the abomination of desolation by quoting the Book of Daniel in Matthew 24.

But it would be in the middle of the week, a week is made up of 7 days. The middle of the week is 3.5 days, or 42 months, time (1 Year), times (2 Years), half a time (.5 Years), or 1,260 days according to the Hebrew Lunar Calendar which you see in both the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation.

Therefore, the middle of the week begins the Great Tribiulation.

Matthew 24:15-22 (NKJV) “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.

And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.

For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened."

Let's do a summation.

In Revelation, we see that there will be a innumerable bunch of people that will be killed for the testimony of Christ during the great tribulation because the Beast will command that if anyone refuses to take the mark of the Beast will be killed.

At the same time, the Lord wil send His angels to preach the everlasting gospel and warn the whole world that if anyone takes the mark of the Beast, they would be cast into the lake of fire forever.

Revelation 14:6-11 (NKJV)

Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice,

“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation.

He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

The reason why they will be killed is because they'll refuse to receive the mark of the Beast and be thrown into the lake of fire at the Great White Throne judgment.

So the choice that the whole world will have is..........

ONE, take the mark of the Beast to buy and sell, and end up in the lake of fire forever, or......

TWO, refuse to take the mark of the Beast, repent, place faith on Christ alone, and be killed by the Beast, but you'll avoid the lake of fire forever.

There's no question that an innumerable number will refuse to take the mark of the Beast.

And that's when the end time revival will take place.
