The Trib Is Coming!

For you Eschatology (end times) experts out there, please explain Daniel 7. Being controversial is not my goal. But consider…

Vs 18, But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even for ever and ever. Then there was a disturbance in the beasts in his vision and one beast prevailed.

Vs 21, I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them, until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

To me this means that we will be and already are at war with the enemy. Then God comes on the scene in a way that He empowers the saints to bring judgment upon the Earth through the authority given to us that are Kingdom members. The scripture here doesn't say He raptures or saves or causes the saints to escape but that through the Saints, judgment comes upon the other kingdoms. So, the thought that we aren't judges is erroneous. There is New Testament scripture that backs that as well; John 7:24, Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Now hang on…don't lose the focus of this topic.

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

25 And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Right here I want to pause. In Revelation it talks about time and a times and a dividing of the times. Revelation 12:13, And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

Again, here it doesn't say the woman and her child was taken away but protected for this period of time.

Daniel 7:26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

The judgment shall sit (or will be established) upon the Earth and the saints will take away the authority or dominion of the enemy. This does not talk about a defeated church but that the Church will end up with the authority already given to her, or we actually will realize that we have authority and we begin to enact upon it.

28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

I had a man of God ask me years ago what I believed about the end times. Three times I tried to answer him; three times he rebuked me with the same sentence. “That is an uneducated answer you learned from someone else. What do YOU believe?" Listen, I know this is very controversial, but it needs to be brought up. If I can get you to start thinking that just maybe the pre-tribulation is way far to hyped up, because people believe out of fear the doctrine of escapism, instead of studying the scriptures for themselves and forming a correctness, instead of an indoctrinated thought, then maybe I am creating in you an opportunity to be taught by Holy Ghost instead of taking man's word.

Most of our beliefs about the end time has been brought on from fear. I don't want to go through the tribulation. What if I can't make it? What happens if I miss the rapture? I don't want no part of tribulation! All most of us do is live in fear of the end times. The end times is going to be the greatest time of spiritual history. It is the time that God's Kingdom is established in our hearts to have dominion and authority to bring judgment, we just read it. I know sacrilege, false doctrine, and all the other hoopla you want to yell, but I say hogwash. If I caused you one moment to doubt that there maybe another thought other than pretribulation rapture, then you are wavering in your faith and unlearned of the gospel you believe. If we have to go through part of the tribulation, you will be shaken to your core.

But my salvation is a know-so salvation. If I have to go through the whole tribulation, my Word says that He will never leave me nor forsake me. My Word says those that ENDURE TO THE END shall be saved. My faith is not wavering in anticipation and hope that I escape tribulations because the Word says that we already face tribulations and trials, but be of good cheer for I have overcome them all.(John 16:33) We must come to the understanding that we are His and nothing can come between the Father and His children.

I know I have probably shaken some of you to anger. Some of you may even block me for spreading this “sacrilege” and even say I have gone mad, but if I can get one person to shake off the bonds of man-learned theology and begin to think for themselves and pray without ceasing and asking Holy Ghost to help rightly divide the Word, well then it was worth everything.

I say this in Love towards all. It's high time, Church, to stop relying on the preachers and teachers to set things right in your life and begin to judge yourself righteously. If any lack wisdom let him ask the FATHER and He will give it to him. (James 1:5) Pastors and teachers are vital! They are an intricate part of the five-fold ministry, but we have become lazy concerning the things of God for ourselves. Let us be about the Kingdom business in FAITH and not believing things out of fear.

GOD BLESS YOU and I bless you in the Name of Yeshua Hamashiac!
