TRIBULATION TRUTH OR OR RAPTURE? FABLE? HAVE YOU enough faith to believe God’a Word? Have you enough faith to believe that it says that we, the Church, will go through the tribulation? Matt. 24:29. "PROVE ALE THINGS ANO HOLD FAST ’ TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD/' GIVE THE WORD FIRST PL’ACE Jesus was talking of the end of the world (NOW according to thq signs around ds). Brother Branham said: “We’re at the end, friends. Soon it shall be time run out. Millions will lose their lives. Millions will be — that now believe they are saved — will be counted fodder for the atomic age.” The Seven Seals. Page 566. It nearly happened last week in USA when the atomic power station baked. It will happen yet The signs around us agree with The Bible yet the false prophets prophesy peace. Read it for yourself in Matthew chap. 24. This is for those who have ears to hear. Jesus was talking of the end of the world to His disciples, not to a vast multitude of believers, but to a handful of believers. So it is now in the time of “the falling away.” “And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.” . the love of many, shall wax cold.” , , . , They will still go to church but their love for God’s word shall be exchanged for “itching ears” that will be tickled by soft and satisfying speech. The Bible says so. Jesus said in V. 14: And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for A TESTIMONY unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” ~ In verse 22 Jesus also said: ’Except those days had been shortened, no flesh would be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Note that Jesus is talking about “this gospel of The Kingdom” time, and not a time when every Christian will be gone; so the elect are the Church and not the Jews as some faithless chicken-heated Chirstians are taught to believe by those who tickle peoples ears. This is a time of enduring until the end. The end is the glorious hope of the coming of Christ or is there something better to look for? ■Salvation is reserved for those who hold fast to that which is good. (true). Verse 13 says: “But he that endureth to the end, (that is to the time; of the coming of Jesus Christ) the same shall be saved.” . . <’ And when will that be according to the words of Jesus? V. 29 tells us plainly it is ■ > immediately after the tribulation. . . ” V. 30 says; “and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven . . . and they shall sell the Son of man comming” ... V 31. “And He shall sned forth His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather together His fleet. . These are the very same elect mentioned in V. 22 which are the ’’little flock” of believers upon God’s Word that Jesus spoke to, saying: “Fear not little flock, for it is My Father’s good will to give you The Kingdom.” This is part of the “this gospel of The Kingdom” that has been kept from unwary believers all these years. This was also spoken of by Jesus to His disciples when He taught them how to pray saying! . Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done ON EARTH as it is in heaven.” The Kingdom is coming because the King is coming: when — immediately AFTER the tribulation. The prophet said: "He will rule from the throne of His Father David.” Where? From Jerusalem. Let the elect hold God’s Word precious, it’s the only thing you can trust. Look around you now, check with the conditions Jesus spoke of and ask yourself if The Tribulation has started already. You’ve missed the rapture if you have thought that God has had to whisk you out of trouble when everyone else down through time who has loved Jesus Chrit has had to endure suffering imprisonment and even death. Who do you think you are today Christian? Are you better than them? Than the disciples, Peter, Paul, Stepehn and The Lord Himself? Who has bewitched you? i Is This God’s Word — How is your faith now? Faith for spiritual gifts? — Faith for miracles? Faith to believe? Presumption — panic — fables, or The Peace that passeth all understanding, found only in the hearing and hearing of God’s Word. Where are the mighty men of God? Are you ready for the Mount Carmel showd°" Where is the ensign around which we must gather for the battle? THE WATCHMAN EZEK. 3:17, P.O. Box 2248, Christchurch. 2198
