The Great Tribulation

Every time there is some civil uncertainty or unusual signs in the sky the experts on eschatology in the west, particularly in the United States, begin hyperventilating the hype of the great tribulation.

I want us to consider some things about the great tribulation.

  1. Jesus told several of His disciples they and the generation they lived in would see the horrific events called the great tribulation.
  2. Jesus also said that the world had not seen anything like what they would experience nor would the world ever see anything that would compare with what they would experience.
  3. Look and see how many times Jesus uses the words “you’ and ‘your’ in Matthew 24 and 25. Please keep the context in view meaning, among other things, who asked Him the questions He answered. [Hint: Read Mark 13]
  4. Future great tribulation proponents want us to disbelieve Jesus and all sound hermeneutical exegesis on the Olivet Discourse.
  5. The only places on planet earth today where a future great tribulation can be believed is in cushy churches in comfortable western, or rich nations.
  6. If a future great tribulation message was preached in the vast majority of Christian assemblies in non western comfy churches the people hearing that message would die laughing.
  7. Imagine with me for a moment going to a secret Christian assembly in China, or Iran, or some other “unfriendly to Christ nation”, and telling the saints there to get ready for all hell is about to break loose. Those saints would look at you like you were out of your mind.
  8. Christians in most parts of the planet fear for their life everyday.
  9. Christians are being martyred at a rate never seen before in church history as the future tribulation believing experts sit securely and smugly in their safe sanctuaries preaching their latest end time scenarios to comfort demanding church attenders.
  10. The great tribulation that western comfy Christians face today is the pandemic shut your services down orders from irreverent politicians, and what price will they pay for not obeying said politicians, if they disobey.

Folks, please, do not insult the intelligence or experiences of our brothers and sisters living in real harms way every day.

Could it be the great tribulation is in our past, not our future?

Wind and Fire

What a wonderful image Luke gives us of what happened in that Upper Room nearly 2000 years ago on The Day of Pentecost.

“1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.”

The image I selected for the Featured Image of this blog is from our Revolution Movement ministry logo. It represents the Wind and Fire of the original Pentecost and how what God did that day could not be contained in the room He did it.

There is Fire!

There are varying intensities in the Fire!

There is movement in the Fire because of the Wind!

There were “about” 120 believers assembled together in one place on that day! The Wind and the Fire on that day propelled those believers into leaving the safe confines of their supposed sanctuary.

It is time for God’s Wind and Fire to propel current Christians into action and be activated into His Majesty’s Public Service!

To “hell” with the danger!

Granted there wasn’t a viral pandemic at that time but the threat to their lives was more real than the threat to our lives right now, at least for those of us in the United States.

I am so thankful the day of Pentecost did not wait for today. The Holy Spirit would have had a hard time finding 120 faithful saints assembled in the same place!

We are facing unparalleled times because of COVID-19. All over the world church services have been stopped and many churches will be shuttered.

In California the governor ordered no singing or chanting and now he has ordered no assembling! Californian Christians are not the only ones in the United States to have been ordered not to assemble.

The United States is the land of the free and the home of the brave. I guess we are no longer as free because we are no longer as brave.

Cities and States are releasing prisoners because of the threat of COVID-19 while Christians are afraid to assemble for fear of being put in jail!

And there does not seem to be any end in sight for “allowing” Christians to meet together in the same place at the same time.

Maybe this is a sign from the Spirit of the living God! You may be asking, “What sign?” The sign the Spirit has shifted “church” from large gatherings to small assemblies. That is the way the church has functioned for a long time in areas of the world where real danger is ever present to the real believer.

Revolution Movement is just the vehicle for the Spirit to implement that shift. We meet with individuals, couples, families and small groups of no more than 12 people.

Did you notice the “we meet”? We have continued to meet in person with those who are local and we will continue to meet with anyone who joins our Movement if they are not living in fear of personal contact and ministry.

For those who are out of our region we can do video call meetings as we have done with those in our Movement who do not live in our region.

We meet for the sole purpose of discipling saints to the Lord Jesus Christ and to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

There are other genuine personal disciplers out there. Pray! Seek God! Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in these tumultuous times to where He wants you to go and get trained in Biblical Christianity.

If Revolution Movement is that place we are here to serve you with all of our heart!

Here is just one testimony of a couple who live in another state that we have worked with since January 2019:

Kevin and Donna steward their relationship with the Holy Spirit in a way that they genuinely carry the heart of the Father for His children and are able to facilitate growth to restore and love them to right relationship with God. Their years of Bible study and their own personal growth allow them to help you think with a different perspective on studying the written word of God, how to pursue a kingdom mindset in your own life, and how to have an impact on the relationships in your sphere of influence. Their desire is to bring others to deepen their own personal friendship with God and to see His kingdom come fully on earth!
