Subject: Christ comes in power for 1260 days! |
Bible Note: 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."
