Understanding the End Times: What Does the Bible Really Say?

I truly believe even before we discuss the different interpretations of the book of Revelation, the most important point in this book is this… THAT YOU ARE SAVED NOW! That way this book doesn’t scare you, like some have shared with me about TRIBULATION! Now I often say this, this book is laid out in a way that can be read figuratively, metaphorically, symbolically and/or literally! And only by deep study can we get a glimpse of what’s going on. And all I can say in this short view of the scriptures is whether Revelation speaks that the tribulation is Pre-Trib, or Post Trib, Believers who are saved when Jesus returns, will not face the wrath that God will bring on the earth. But the scriptures do say that those who are left behind will have opportunity to be saved, but it’s going to cost them. These are the ones that don’t receive the mark and will be commanded to worship the beast! Revelation 13:15-18 Though this book is frightening to those who won’t believe, in Revelation 14:9-13. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, And the key to what I’m saying is 14:13 from now on!” And then of course, the joy of Jesus’s return for His bride and the celebration to come with all the saints, Jesus, Our Father, the angels, and the host of heaven. What A Day to behold!
