The book of Revelation unveils the events of the Last days in chronological order. The book of Revelation, Chapter 4 talks about the four beast John saw around the throne. These four beast where later revealed to be the Saints that were redeemed (raptured) from the earth in Revelation 5:9 Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. So in Revelation, Chapter 5, the Saints from amongst the Church were already in heaven. And the description of these Saints follows the chronological order of the Church from the early church till date. The first beast was like a lion. This is the early church. The second beast was like a calf. This is when the Church went into idolatry before the beginning of reformation. The third beast was like a mere man. These are the reformed churches that lacked the power of the Holy Spirit. The last beast is like a flying eagle. This is the generation we are living in. And this generation is the generation that will witness the rapture of the church. In Revelation Chapter 7, John saw other groups of Saints in heaven. Revelation 7:13-17. 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. So, in Rev chapter 7, the great tribulation of the Saints that missed the rapture has already taken place and God is about to pour his wrath on the earth to avenge the Saints that were killed. But before that, he had seal 144,000 Jews for protection. God poured out his wrath through the seven trumpet judgment. This ended the Church age and God is about to resume his dealings with the Jews. His dealings with the Jews resumed when he sent two witnesses to prophesy for about three and half years in Revelation, Chapter 11. It was after the two witnesses finished their ministry, killed, resurrected and raptured that the Anti Christ was revealed in Revelation Chapter 13. The false Christ that the Jews have been waiting for is revealed as a beast that has two horns. The two horns represents the house of Isreal and Judah. It is this false prophet that will erect the image of the first beast that has ten horns in the temple of God. This is the abomination that leads to desolation Jesus mentioned in Matthew 24 when he quoted Daniel. Isreal will enter into a 7 years peace treaty with the Anti christ which will be broken after three and a half years by this image that is set up. Israel being adherent of the law is Moses will refuse to worship the image and this will set the stage for their persecution. This is what Jesus meant when he said, Matthew 24:15 - 22. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understandsmiley 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. It is at this point that the Jews will realize that the Jesus whom they rejected is the Christ and they will eagerly be looking forward for him to come and redeem them from the hands of the Anti Christ. This great tribulation period which is the second revealed in the book of revelation is what will precede the second coming of Christ. But in the middle of this tribulation, the 144,000 Jews which were sealed in Chapter 7 will be raptured. They were seen in heaven in Revelation, Chapter 14. Chapter 15 reveals the Saints of the Jews who refused to receive the mark of the beast or worship the image in heaven. These are the tribulation saints. In Chapter 16 to 17, God pours out his 7 vial judgment on the Kingdom of the Anti Christ to avenge the Jews that were persecuted to death. In Revelation 19, Jesus comes back with his armies. He defeats the Anti Christ and his armies. He throws the Anti Christ and the false prophets into the Lake of fire. In Revelation 20, Satan is bound and Jesus established his 1,000 years reign on earth. So in summary, the major events as revealed in the book of Revelation are: 1. The Rapture of the Church 2. Great tribulation of the Saints left behind of the church. 3. 144,000 Jews sealed for protection. 4. Seven Trumpet judgment to avenge the persecution of the Saints of the church age. 5. Prophetic Ministry of Two Witnesses. 6. The death, resurrection and ascension of the two witnesses. 7. The revelation of the anti Christ and false prophets. 8. The institution of the worship of the image of the Anti Christ. 9.144,000 Jews raptured. 10. Persecution of the Jews that refused to worship the image. 11. The spirit of the persecuted Jews in heaven. 12. Seven vial judgment on the Anti Christ 13. Jesus second coming and the defeat of the Anti Christ. 14. Satan is bound for 1,000 years and Jesus establishes his 1,000 years reign on earth. What I have shared is in summary form. There are more events I didn't talk about. The Church will be raptured years before the second coming of Christ. And we will not witness the great tribulation. But the faithful Jews will be raptured in the midst of their tribulation. |
live4dgospel:Thank you once again for your questions. It's unfortunate I am in an environment where we have serious light issues. The answer I would have given you will require much references but I will attempt to explain them bit by bit. The book of Revelation unveils the events of the Last days in chronological order. The book of Revelation, Chapter 4 talks about the four beast John saw around the throne. These four beast where later revealed to be the Saints that were redeemed (raptured) from the earth in Revelation 5:9 Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.

The Church will be raptured years before the second coming of Christ. And we will not witness the great tribulation. But the faithful Jews will be raptured in the midst of their tribulation. This is the much I can write for now. I will be glad to answer any more questions. This is one area I have deep understanding in the Bible. |
coluka:Yes, rapture as a word is not in the Bible but what it describes is there. It simply means the catching up of the Saints. It is just around the corner. So, be ready. |
live4dgospel:Thanks for the questions. First, the rapture is not the same as the second coming of Christ. The rapture is the catching up of the Saints to meet the Lord in the air as Apostle Paul narrated in 1st Thessalonians 4:13-16. Though the Lord descended from heaven, he didn't land on earth. During the second coming of our Lord Jesus, he is coming back to the earth with the Saints to fight with the devil, defeat him and establish his 1,000 years of reign on earth. In this event, all eyes shall see him. I have low battery. The rest questions I will answer much later. |
SarkinYarki:And foolish Nigerians will still collect money to reelect him into office. |
He's talking as though he will use his personal money. How does he account for money spent for projects not budgeted for? |
The events of the Last days are clearly revealed in the Bible but the Church is yet to fully understand the details. As such there are different interpretation as to when the rapture will take place and other related events. There are actually three future raptures and two great tribulation periods. Details coming soon. |
estheragha:The Church is blind to the the fact that there are two great tribulation period and three future rapture. God has a separate calendar for the Church and the Jews. Right now, his dealings with the Jews is suspended. It will be resumed after his is through with the Church. The first rapture is the rapture of the faithful Saints and it will happen before the first great tribulation which will be targeted on those left behind that still hold on to the faith. The second rapture is the rapture of the two witnesses talked about in the eleventh chapter of the book of revelation. The third rapture is the rapture of the 144,000 Jews sealed in chapter 7 of the book of revelation. The second tribulation period is targeted on the Jews and this is the one Jesus talked about in Matthew 24. There are about 30 major events from the rapture of the church to the creation of the the New heaven and the new earth. May the Lord grant us more understanding into the events of the last days. |
search4truth:They are just agents of darkness disguised as ministers of light. They will have special compartment in the very hell they don't believe exist. |
It's not wrong to teach couples about sex but not this manner. He should organize marriage seminar for couples and teach them in such meetings. Statements like this are not for children. Otherwise, he will stimulate unmarried ones into immorality rather than leading them to live a holy life. |
I thought democracy is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. If the people that voted you are not happy, then you do not have the moral right to continue to lead. The constitution should be reviewed to empower people to remove any government not representing their interest. |
Nigeria problem is far beyond minimum wage. What does he plan to do will millions of unemployed youths? What is his plan to tackle the security challenges we are faced with? How does he plan to ensure uninterrupted power supply? These are the real issues he should have addressed first. |
This is political game to make us feel they have completely rejected Buhari so that we will not work hard to vote him out. Let's not be deceived. |
Gucci products are sometimes overpriced. Only drug dealers, kidnappers and politicians will go for it. |
Rich4god:From their oil money. |
Abomination. This is one of the reasons Benue state is under oppression. They are known for sexual promiscuity. |
He was the most selfish player. Such attribute is not needed in team work. |
Was it his first attempt? His pix doesn't look like he just finished his secondary school. In our days, most students get such marks in the second attempt after going through extra mural lessons. |
No sane Christian will remain loyal to a party that turns blind eye to the killings of Christians in some part of the country. God will judge all ministers who refuse to condemn such killings and dissociates themselves from this terrorist party. |
Foolish people celebrating sin. |
PUSSYBBQGRILLS:Agreed. I am happily married and the kids of my wife stays with me. |
I believe there should be a proper balance in all that we do. Well, thank God she isn't clubbing. If you love her, try and cook once in while Also attend services with her to be sure thet do. |
The students are already paying different forms of levies which includes; 1. PTA level. 2. Exam levy, 3. School development levy. 4. Toiletries. 5. Exam expo levy. Etc. So, this one will just be an extra levy. This shows how insensitive this government is to the challenges people are faced wirh. |
Shehu Sani should know that his ideology and APC can't go together. It's better to leave than to be thrown out. |
If Saraki should step down, Buhari should resign for gross incompetence. |
FastShipping:If you don't want it to happen to you or your family, why would you support a government that turns a blind eye to these senseless killings? |
FastShipping:I pray that your family members should become victim of the terrorist attacks in Jesus name. |
There is more to this defections than we think. No sane person would want to live a winning team for another team. There is something they know they are not comfortable with but keep it amongst themselves. Time will reveal the true motives behind these defections. I don't think APC will survive this. |
penearth:His credentials are not complete. In addition, He values the lives of cows more than that of humans. He has created disparity in citizenship status - First class citizens are the Fulanis, second class citizens are the cows. Others are third class. He has brought untold hardship such that several scores of people have to commit suicide. Quite a few others have gone insane. He is unable to guarantee the security of lives and properties. Lives have been lost through senseless killings like it had never happened before. When the herdsmen kill, nobody is arrested. No army is deployed. But the contrary is the case when the herdsmen and even a cow is killed. He has destroyed the very foundation upon which democracy stands on - freedom of speech. Criticize his government and you are arrested. He takes treatment abroad with tax payer money against constitutional provisions. He withdrew money to order for ammunition without the Senate approval. He has no certificate and his finance minister forged her NYSC exemption certificate but still allowed to maintain her position. He deployed 30,000 police just to secure election victory in Ekiti state but 10% of this number has never been deployed to the middle belt where lives are wasted daily He declared IPOB which has never killed a terrorist organization while the herdsmen are just criminals. I could go on and on. Now, he was to manage West Africa when he cannot manage his country. God is on the throne and I know help will come our way. Enough is enough. |
You should have included his terrorist activities as one of his achievement. Blood thirsty government. |
Loo resurgent2019:I wish the likes of the vice president, Ameachi and even Oshimhole know that they also will not be spared when the time comes. May God have mercy on us and deliver us from wicked and unreasonable people. |
[quote author= post=69813888]This is the Good news we have been waiting for, for a while now. The evil people behind all these heinous crimes must be exposed. We read this was the exact method that was used in Ikorodu and some other tensed locations over a year ago on the oil bunkering militants that has been reigning terror throughout the time Jonathan was the president. They all fled and never looked back since then. When The government is ready for you, you are a goner! Who say no government?! SAI BABA![/quote]Why did he wait till now? Just a campaign strategy. The hostility against Christian communities will resume as soon as he is reelected for the second time. Wise up Nigerians. A leopard does not change his colour. |

"Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea."
