1 | Christ comes in power for 1260 days! | Mark 9:1 | CDBJ | 97253 | ||
These posts are getting too strung out and need to be shortened so I will only consider one point on this post. What I was saying, is that Matthew 24 isn’t the wrath of God at all but the vengeance of the Devil. The short time of the great tribulation or 3 ½ years or 1260 days comes about as a result of the devil coming down to earth with a vengeance. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. The short time is 1260 days or 3 ½ years. You say that Matthew 24:15-21 is a warning to unbelievers! Since when are unbelievers ever exhorted to pray, since God can’t hear them? John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. The whole key to the seven seals in Revelation is the fact that they don’t represent God’s wrath but the vengeance of the devil! The scroll that is opened up after all the seals are broken, starts the wrath of God, that is the contents of the book; everything else just leads up to it. The ones that come out of great tribulation are going to be us, the living believers at that time! Have a great day, CDBJ |

CDBJ, I agree with you that the 1260 days of great tribulation are strictly a time of Satan's wrath. That is why no announcement from heaven is made that "God's wrath has come" until the 7th Trumpet sounds. However, in the 6th Seal we find that Unbelievers know the "Day of God's wrath has come" and they know this before the 7th Trumpet sounds! How much will Unbelievers know? We need to realize that John has not yet revealed the contents of the "seven thunders" that spoke out of the "little scroll." Because, in Seal 6, they even know "the DAy of the Lamb's wrath has come." My argument about Unbelievers praying for mercy is based on three Scriptural facts: One: Jesus said that Unbelievers will "mourn" when He appears with all the Saints. Two: Jesus states that those who are "willing to die will be kept alive, but those who seek to save themselves will perish ... on that day." Luke 17:30,33. Three: Jesus does not urge Believers to "pray to escape all these things" on the day He appears, but it is obvious that only Unbelievers "pray to escape all these things and to stand before the Son of Man." Luke 21:36. Jesus states this after "these things cause men's hearts to fail who are upon all the earth." Believers will all be "gathered together above on one of the days after the great tribulation" (Mark 13:24-27), so Jesus is urging Unbelieving Jews to "look up and beg to escape these things and to stand before the Son of Man."
