Why GOD Has Smitten the Earth with a CURSE and WHY Many will Be Full of FEAR, Hiding, Shaking, Trembling and Terrified at the Return of Christ!

Why do you think that this world is CURSED with MANY woes, problems, famine, disease epidemics, WAR, conflicts of ALL sorts, powerful TORNADOES and very violent and devastating SNOWSTORMS, from the most recent so called: "BOMB CYCLONE" and "SKY RIVER" HAIL, FLOODS, FIRES, SANDSTORMS, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes ALL OVER? Well the answer is found in the book of Malachi! You see we who are the people and TRUE descendants of Israel (the US, Canada, the UK, Austrlia, New Zealand, Finland, Norway, Sweden, France, etc.) "HAVE FORGOTTEN TO KEEP GOD'S LAW AND COMMANDMENTS!" And have been instead following the ways of Satan the Devil and of the Masons and Luciferians of this world. Notice what Malachi wrote about this in Malachi 4:4-6: "Remember ye the LAW of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto Him in Horeb for ALL Israel (not just the JEWS that live in the so called: STATE OF ISRAEL in the Middle East), with the statutes and judgments (that means the observance of ALL the Biblical HOLY days of GOD (these are NOT just for the JEWS either)."
Verses 5-6: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the GREAT and dreadful day of the LORD (He already did in the 20th Century He sent the late Herbert W. Armstrong in the "Spirit and Power of Elijah" and now in these END TIMES of the 21st Century He has sent me also in that same SPIRIT and POWER TODAY to "Prepare the Way for Christ's Second Coming"): And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children (in order to teach them in the ways of God and NOT of the world like they have done instead), and the hearts (minds) of the children to their fathers (and NOT to so called: "Catholic Fathers" and all these wicked pedophile men), lest I come and smite the earth with a CURSE!" Unfortunatelly and sadly, Mr. Armstrong and I both have failed utterly at being able to fulfill this commission, no matter how much preaching of God's Word and TRUTH we have done with ALL the many "telecasts", "podcasts", the literature: magazines, articles and books, etc. because the world's EVILS have increased and have gotten worse and worse DAY BY DAY! This is WHY God has stricken the earth with this BAD TERRIBLE and horrible CURSE that we have TODAY!
Day after day, year after year I have been: "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness (of religious "counterfeits", deception and confusion of this world), Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." Isaiah 40:3.
The imminent Return of Jesus Christ
"Behold, the Lord GOD will come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him: behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young." Isaiah 40:10-11.
But Christ also reminds me, YES ME! This: "Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men (many leaders in God's church today who refuse to accept the FACT that God has "sanctified" me and has SET ME APART to do a SPECIAL Work for Him in these END TIMES we are living in) thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. Fear thou not; for I AM with thee: be not dismayed; for I AM thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, ALL they that were (usually despising me) incensed against thee (like my wife and ALL her family relatives) shall be ashamed and confounded (when He returns and they get to see that I was "HIS TRUE SERVANT" afterall): they shall be as NOTHING (as if they had NEVER existed); and they that strive with thee (like my wife does DAY IN AND DAY OUT) shall perish (they will DIE!). Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contend with thee (like my EVIL and wicked wife): they that war against thee shall be as NOTHING (Christ will get rid of them and make them dissappear in the twinkling of an eye), and as a thing of nought (as DUNG). For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee (Notice how He repeats and reiterates this OVER and OVER again! Christ LOVES ME!)." Isaiah 41:9-13. Notice also this other scripture in Isaiah 66:5: "Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at His word (like I do); Your (FALSE) brethren that hated you (like my wife does), that cast you out (of thine house) for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but He shall apppear (very soon) to your joy, and they shall be ashamed." "And kings (YES! That's RIGHT! ALL of the monarchs and the nobility of this world SHALL SERVE ME) shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee (as my faithful KING and PRIEST please compare also with Revelation 3:9) with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet (JESHURUM); and thou shalt know that I AM the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me." Isaiah 49:23
Now notice verse 26: "And I will feed them that oppress thee (now) with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood (since they really loved and enjoyed that ANDROCHROME "high" and drinking children's blood so much), as with sweet wine: and ALL flesh shall know that I the LORD AM thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob (Israel)."
The Wonders that Christ will Do When He returns
"I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water (He has already began doing this in the Sahara Desert). I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it." Isaiah 41:18-20.
Christ is just waiting for the Father to give Him "THE GREEN LIGHT" to come back to earth this year! "And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are ALL they that wait for Him. For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: He will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when He shall hear it, He will answer thee. And though the Lord (now) give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction (and YES I AM going through many trials and tribulation), yet shall not thy teachers (the angelic beings that guard me and keep me) be removed into a corner any more (in order to keep them restrained), but thine eyes shall see thy teachers (because I will then be just exactly like Christ and God the Father: a SPIRIT of the Family of GOD): And (in the meantime) thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." Isaiah 30:18-21.
"Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, ALL ye that love her (like I do): rejoice for joy with her, ALL ye that mourn for her (for ALL the wickedness and all the religious CONFUSION we see there today and the MASONIC Zionist Jews and Jesuits controlling EVERYTHING there): That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles (the Pagans and Heathen) like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known towards His servants, and His indignation towards His enemies." Isaiah 66:10-14. Notice this Psalm: "God judgeth the righteous, and God is ANGRY with the wicked every day." Psalm 7:11. And also this one: "The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence (like Putin and Zelensky and other Jesuit "warmonguers" like Biden) His soul hateth. Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone (very soon), and an horrible tempest (like the ones we ALL had recently): this shall be the portion of their cup." Psalm 11:5-6. "Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestous round about Him." Psalm 50:3. So He tells those who are His people and faithful servants like me now: "Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers (into your own room or "PLACE of SAFETY"), and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation (of GOD ALMIGHTY) be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more (be able to) cover her slain." Isaiah 26:20-21. He further declares this in Isaiah 35:4: "Say to them that are of a fearful heart (mind), Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; He will come and save YOU!"

Jesus Christ will come with ANGER, FURY and WRATH!
"For behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with His chariots (and horsemen) like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by His sword (God's Word: THE BIBLE) will the LORD plead with ALL flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many." Isaiah 66:15-16.
"Behold, the name of the LORD (the GREAT "I AM") cometh from far, burning with His anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue as a devouring fire: And His breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity (and PRIDE like arrogant CHINA, RUSSIA, North Korea, Turkey, Iran, Australia, the US and the UK and others as well like the soon coming "FOURTH REICH" of Germany that will show its "ugly head" in a NEW "European Union" and BEAST power coming up): and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people (YES! He told a prophet friend of mine that He will return when you would see people like we see nowadays wearing these "bridles" and stupid masks ALL over the world!), causing them to err." Isaiah 30:27-28. Verse 30: "And the LORD shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of His arm, with the indignation of His anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones." "And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud (GAY PRIDE) to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible (GLOBAL ELITE). I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir (See also Isaiah 4:1). Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger. And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land (ALL these aliens and immigrants will go back to their country of origin because Christ will make sure that THEY go back where they belong!)." Isaiah 13:11-14.
God is particularly ANGRY with the "Modern Day" House of Israel: The US
"O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it (no Firemen, etc.), because of the EVIL of your doings. Behold, I AM against thee, O inhabitant of the valley (Silicon Valley), and rock of the plain (the Rockies), saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us (We are the United States)? or Who shall (dare) enter into our habitations? But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof (of your land), and it shall devour ALL things round about it." Jeremiah 21:12-14.
God will judge EVERYONE by His Son Jesus Christ
"Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and STRONG one (His Son), which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm (like we had recently all over the world), as a flood of mighty waters overflowing (like we have now in California), shall cast down to the earth (all these rivers in the sky) with the hand." Isaiah 28:2. I want you to notice this description of what the prophet Jeremiah saw in a prophetic vision regarding the punishment Christ will give this world when He returns: "I beheld the earth, and lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled (many volcanic eruptions), and ALL the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and lo, there was no man, and ALL the birds of heaven were fled. I beheld, and lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and ALL the cities (Washington, DC, New York, Las Vegas, L.A., Paris, London, Amsterdam, Seoul, Beijing, Paris, Rome, Moscow, etc.) thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by His fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full END! For this shall the earth mourn (Please see Matthew 24:30), and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will NOT repent, neither will I turn back from it." Jeremiah 4:23-28. "Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind (like the ones we have seen recently on the US): it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until He have done it, and until He have performed the intents of His heart (His mind): in the latter days (the days we are living in now) ye shall consider it." Jeremiah 30:23-24.
God's Anger at Sinful Humanity will be shown by Christ!
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven (when Jesus decends in the clouds) against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the TRUTH in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God (in His WORD:THE BIBLE) is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them (through His "Spokesman" and Son Jesus Christ:"The Word of God")" Romans 1:18-19. Because of this DISOBEDIENCE and the ignoring of God's Word and not giving any consideration to the GREAT sacrifice and redemption of Christ they will have to PAY THE PRICE!
Notice this also again in Romans: "But after thy hardness and most impentinent heart treasurest up unto thyself WRATH against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds:To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the TRUTH, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and WRATH! Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man (and woman) that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile (the Heathen): For there is no respect of persons with God." Romans 2:5-11. It is also very important to note that: "He (or she) that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he (or she) that believeth not the Son (His Word) shall not see life; but the WRATH of God abideth on him (or her)." John 3:36.
The GREAT and TERRIBLE Day of the LORD!
For many many months now I have been given WARNINGS about the upcoming "GREAT and TERRIBLE Day of the LORD"! And I wrote various articles here on LINKEDIN and done many podcasts about it and have even written many books mentioning it like my latest and most recent book: 2023 The Year That JESUS CHRIST Returns as we see the "Day of Christ" approaching and the "DAY OF HIS WRATH!" will be soon upon us ALL! Just notice what is written in the book of Revelation about this: "And I beheld when He had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a GREAT earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; and the stars of heaven (meteorites, falling stars, etc.) fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places (because of the many earthquakes occurring). And the kings of the earth (the Presidents, Prime Ministers, etc.), and the GREAT men (the powerful ELITE and ALL celebrities), and the rich men (ELON MUSK, JEFF BEZOS, BILL GATES, GEORGE SOROS, VLADIMIR PUTIN and the rest of the BILIONAIRES), and the chief captains (ALL the army Generals of this world), and the mighty men (the powerful secret sects of Freemasonry and the Iluminatti), and every bondman (prisoner, and slave), and every FREE man, hid themselves in the dens (and underground bunkers of the world), and in the rocks (caves) of the mountains; And said to the mountains, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne (with GREAT POWER and GLORY), and from the WRATH OF THE LAMB: For the GREAT day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" Revelation, 6:12-17. And that my dear friends and readers is a very GOOD question "WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND NOW WHEN THIS DAY COMES?" Unless you are a TRUE Christian not even ALL the money in the world will be able to save YOU on this DAY! Notice: "Riches profit not in the day (of the Lord's) wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death." Proverbs, 11:4.
The Day of Christ's WRATH!
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days (the days of GREAT tribulation we are living in now) shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light (a lunar and sun eclipse), and the stars (falling stars and metereorites we have seen lately) shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens (the fallen angels and Satan himself who is the "Prince of the power of the air") shall be shaken (with FEAR and trembling for their DOOM): And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall the tribes (or nations) of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven (no secret "RAPTURE" here as the Jesuits have taught evangelicals for ages) with POWER and GREAT GLORY!" Matthew, 24:29-30. The book of Mark words it this way: "But in those days (again the days we are living in right now), after that (GREAT) tribulation (we are going through with the PLANDEMIC, the WAR and ALL), the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven (again the fallen angelic stars) shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven (in the angelic spirit realm) shall be shaken (with extreme FEAR of GOD). And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with GREAT power and GLORY!" Mark, 13:24-26.
"And I will shew wonders in the heavens (have you seen the myriad of strange things seen on the heavens of this world lately?) and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke (ALL these things are happening already around the world). The sun shall be turned into darkness (a solar eclipse), and the moon into blood (a BLOOD RED moon), before the GREAT and the TERRIBLE day of the LORD come." Joel, 2:30-31. Here God himself (The GREAT "I AM" Jesus Christ the WORD and SPOKESMAN of the Father) is telling the prophet Joel the events that will take place BEFORE HIS RETURN AND DAY OF WRATH! He is giving us ALL a clue trhough His prophet: "WONDERS IN THE HEAVENS" (already happening) rivers and oceans with BLOOD, and FOREST FIRES ALL OVER THE WORLD! Just like the recent forest fires around the world lately. Also most importantly a BLOOD RED MOON will be coming on May 26th. And a total solar ECLIPSE will take place on April 30th in Southeast Asia. After these TWO events the GREAT and TERRIBLE "DAY OF THE LORD" will COME! But leading up to these events is a series of ever more frequent and intensifying calamities, natural disasters, and natural disturbances like the floodings in California, Indonessia and other places, more powerful CAT 5 and possible CAT 6 hurricanes, storms of ALL kinds and types, "earthquakes in diverse places" (Matt, 24:7), forest fires and floodings occurring worldwide, the first manifestations of which would have occurred shortly in these END TIMES after Christ's?first?coming.
They are represented by the opening of the "seals" in Revelation 6. "And when these?things?begin to come to pass,?then?look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Luke, 21:28. The Day of the Lord is also referred to in some scriptures as the day of the final battle—when Jesus Christ and His army of angels and resurrected saints defeat the army of the final human empire. Not surprisingly, this final empire is referred to as mighty "Babylon," now falling for the second time (Revelation 18:2).

Jesus foretold that on this day He will be visible in the sky like lightning: "For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day" (Luke 17:24).
The final cataclysmic battle takes place at Jerusalem. The prophet Joel gives some vivid details of the devastation that will take place, beginning with an alarm of war being sounded: "Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain: Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for?it is?nigh at hand" (Joel 2:1). He describes it as "A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains" (verse 2)
The prophet Zechariah gives us a more "graphic" detail of this event: "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather ALL nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle." Zechariah, 14:1-3.
Then, after the battle is over, Christ will ascend the throne of rulership over the entire earth and at last establish His Kingdom: "And the Lord shall be King over all the earth" (Zechariah 14:9).
So the Day of the Lord can be correctly understood as the day of the final battle at Jerusalem—the day when ALL the combined armies of the world are defeated and the Son of God establishes His rule over the earth.
Take a look now at Zephaniah's version of this very event: "Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey (coming up this very same year): for my determination is to gather the nations (this is why the Euphrates river is drying up), that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even ALL my fierce anger: for ALL the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy." Zephaniah, 3:8.
These momentous and INCREDIBLE events, it should be noted, take place after the seventh trumpet (Revelation 11:15; Revelation 16:17). However, a number of scriptures also include events that precede this trumpet as part of the Day of the Lord. So it is also correct to see this "day" as a lengthier time period.
The year of trumpets and plagues
The apostle John opens the book of Revelation by telling his reader that he was "in the Spirit on the Lord's Day" (Revelation 1:10—not Sunday, as many assume, but he was having a vision of the Day of the Lord). According to Vine's Dictionary of the New Testament, the Greek word herera, translated here as "day," can also mean a "period of undefined length marked by certain circumstances ... The Day of the Lord is the Day of His manifest judgment on the world" (pp. 270-271).
This understanding is borne out by the message of the book—the visions John saw and recorded for us concerning this awesome march of events that very soon culminates in Jesus Christ's Kingdom being established here on earth! Christ also included what will happen just prior to His return as part of "the day when the Son of Man is revealed" (see?Luke 17:28-30).
The visions of the first four seals are known as the current galloping of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." They represent false Christianity (the Pope and the Vatican), war, famine and disease epidemics. The same global CRISIS and problems were also foretold by Jesus Christ directly (Matthew 24:1-12). But especially now in the year 2023 God will give us signs and "clues" as to how close we really are to this "GREAT Day of Wrath" notice again this very well explained in the book of Joel, 2:30-31: "And I will shew wonders in the heavens (like the recent RED sky in Germany, and the various metereorite showers we've seen all over the world) and in the earth (all the recent disasters, storms and floodings all over the world as well), and fire (the forest fires and wildfires around the world), and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness (this will happen on the eclipse coming up on April 30th), and the moon into blood (we will have another blood red moon again on May), before the GREAT and the terrible day of the LORD come." (Compare also with Rev, 6:12-14) "For the day of the LORD is near upon ALL the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy reward shall return upon thine own head." Finally the Satanic GLOBAL ELITE will pay for ALL the EVIL they have done to humanity with ALL of their AGENDAS! They know this DAY is coming that's why they are planning to HIDE under the rocks of the earth inside their "bunkers".
The prophet Isaiah also gives us a very graphic and vivid description of this day! Notice: "Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand (it certainly is); it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall ALL hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth (just about to give birth to her child): they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Behold the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it." Isaiah, 13:6-9.
The prophet Amos who was Isaiah's dad puts it this way in the book of Amos, 5:18-20: "Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! To what end is it for you? The day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?" The obvious answer is that for the wicked and perverse Satanic people of this world it will be a VERY DARK DAY!
When the fifth seal is opened, Satan initiates a great persecution of true Saints and Christians (Revelation 6:9; Revelation 12:12-17). This will also be the time of "Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah 30:7)—when the devil is allowed to vent his wrath on the nations that have been enjoying the blessings of Abraham. And a Roman Catholic "NEW WORLD ORDER" under the rule of the UN, the Pope and very possibly a NEW "FOURTH REICH" in Germany will begin to reign over the world with their Agenda soon in 2023.
The "Beast" POWER—the NEW world ORDER! A government that has been foretold in Revelation 13—will have risen to power at this time. As this union of civil and religious rule enforces its "mark" on all mankind, true followers of Jesus Christ who refuse to receive this mark will be afflicted, and hated in all nations, betrayed and in some cases even martyred and put to death for their refusal to disobey God (Revelation 13:15-16;?Matthew 24:9-10). This is how the prophet Daniel describes "that time" in Daniel 12:1: "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the GREAT prince (or archangel of God) which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation?even?to that same time: and at that time thy people (the TRUE and REAL servants of God) shall be delivered (from the persecution coming), every one that?shall?be found written in the book (of life)."
This time, referred to by Jesus as the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21), will be Satan's last attempt to harm the people of God!
This same period of time was revealed to the prophet Daniel as the time when this powerful church-state union would come like a whirlwind into the "Glorious Land"—that is, the Holy Land (Daniel 11:40-41)—and would shatter the power of the "holy people" for "a time, times, and half a time" (Daniel 12:7).
It is during the 3 1/2 month (tribulation) period, "immediately after the tribulation," that terrifying heavenly signs will also be seen (Matthew 24:29). These heavenly signs—visible and impacting strange phenomena in the sky—constitute the sixth seal of Revelation in Revelation 6:2. They will occur between the persecution of God's people and the beginning of His wrath upon the earth.
The tumultuous and chaotic events Joel writes about earlier in the same chapter occur after the heavenly signs and during a period leading up to the great Day of Battle. Over the course of this period the "seven trumpets" of the "seventh seal" are sounded (Revelation 8-9). Each trumpet brings a new plague upon the earth as God, in His great mercy, begins the process of leading deceived and defiant human beings to repentance so that Jesus Christ can rule them.
On the heels of these tremendous events and their culmination in the immense battle at Jerusalem, a new era in history begins! And the Scriptures reveal that the Day of the Lord will then continue throughout the 1,000 years that follow.
Are you ready for the Day of the Lord?
Notice what God says about getting ready for this "DAY" which is coming up soon: "Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with ALL your heart (and your mind), and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rent your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of GREAT kindness, and repenteth Him of the evil." Joel, 2:12-13.
So I hope you start to "change your evil ways" and REPENT! And if you happen to be someone already in God's church then remember: "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us (apostles), as that day of Christ is (already) at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first (which has happened already in God's Church as soon as Mr. Armstrong died), and that man of sin (Pope Francis or his successor) be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above ALL that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God (the NEW secret Jewish Temple being built in Jerusalem now), shewing himself that he is God." 2 Thessalonians, 2:2-4.
And Paul also admonishes us with this: "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety (like they are doing in the Middle East with Israel and some Arab or Muslim nations, Hesbolah, etc.); then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye brethren are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief." 1 Thessalonians, 5:2-4.
In Conclusion
Jesus gave us a WARNING and an instruction to WATCH "world events" and the prophecies now unfolding concerning this "DAY"! Notice: "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman (the Bible believing Christian) of the house had known in what watch the thief (Satan the destroyer) would come (into FULL power after being cast down from Heaven a Second time), he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up (by military forces and police using Martial Law to break into homes to detain TRUE Christians). Therefore ye also be ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and WISE servant, whom his lord (JESUS) hath made ruler over his household (and future kingdom), to give them meat (food) in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when He cometh shall find so doing (watching). Verily I say unto you, That He shall make him ruler over ALL His goods (many cities, nations and kingdoms). But and if that evil servant, shall say in his heart (or mind), My lord delayeth His coming; And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken (people of the world); The lord of that servant shall come in a DAY when he looketh not for Him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew, 24:42-51.
And in Mark 13:32-37 this is what He said: "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the Son, but the Father (the Father only will determine the RIGHT TIME for this!). Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left His house (His church), and gave authority to His servants (they ALL became apostles), and to every man his work (a work to do just like I'm doing TODAY), and commanded the porter (the WATCHMAN) to watch. Watch ye therefore, for ye know not when the Master of the house (the body, the church) cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning; Lest coming suddenly He find you sleeping, And what I say unto you I say unto ALL, WATCH!" "For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen." Ezekiel, 30:3. "The GREAT day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly (See Revelation, 6:15-16). That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and (GREAT) desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities (of the Golan Heights in Israel), and against the high towers (and skyscrapers of this world). And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy: for He shall make even a speedy riddance of ALL them that dwell in the land."Zephaniah, 1:14-18.
So Why Would Christ Return a SECOND Time?
The answer is found in this scripture: "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was ONCE offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation." Hebrews 9:27-28.
