Opening of the 7th Seal
It has indeed been a sobering revelation for the Church to learn that the first five seals of Revelation have been about itself and that these seals are no longer a matter of future prophecy that is yet to be fulfilled, but are now a matter of history- seals that have already been opened.
It is a unique period of time between the great spiritual tribulation that came upon the Church in the opening of the first five seals and the beginning of great physical tribulation when the seventh seal is opened.
As we have covered before, Jesus Christ is the one who opens the seals. Although the Church has understood some basic knowledge concerning those seals, much has remained hidden because it was God's will that most revelation be given at the time that Jesus Christ opened the seals.
Before we go any farther, it must be understood that there is still much that cannot be known about the seventh seal because it has not been opened as of the writing of this article. So this article will focus on those things that God has given His people to understand before that seal is opened. However, when this seal is opened, it will no longer be a mystery as to its timing!
Because of those things we have already experienced as a Church and because we are rapidly nearing the opening of the last seal, God has given more insight into what is to come so that we can be more fully prepared and ready when it does take place. We are to be watchful and spiritually on guard as this time approaches. The time is extremely short!
Then, for those who read this article after the seventh seal has been opened, you will be able to more fully grasp the truth of those things written here. When you do come to that understanding, it will be time for you to seek after God and repent of those things that has led to the need for this world to be brought low before God's Kingdom comes to this earth with Jesus Christ coming as King of kings. And as you repent, take hope and courage in knowing that this great tribulation on earth will last but a short time and then God's Kingdom will be here on earth, ushering in true and lasting peace and genuine prosperity for mankind.
Great Confusion
From now, up until the time this last seal is finally opened, and continuing on as each trumpet is blown, there will be great confusion in this world, especially in the so-called religious world.
Man has long been aware of things written in scripture that speak of events at an end-time, although man has not understood those things. Those who claim to be religious will flood the world with nonsensical theories as to what is unfolding, just before and after this seventh seal is unveiled. And some will be correct in one thing- it is the end-time! It will not be the end of the world, but it will be the end of man's self-rule on this earth over the past 6,000 years. It will be the end of the world as man has known it. It will be the beginning of a new world where God establishes His reign on the earth. Mankind will finally learn why God established the seven-day week. The first six days were given to man, but the seventh is His. He has given man 6,000 years to learn a true witness that man is incapable of ruling itself. God will then establish His Kingdom on earth for 1,000 years to witness how only His ways bring true peace and meaning to life.
As we take account of where we are now in this end-time and as time progresses farther toward the period of final tribulation, religious profusion and confusion will gush out of the mouths of people as they try to explain what is happening. Yet they will not grasp the severity nor the condemnation of their own evil ways, false beliefs, and pride-filled hypocrisies that fill their foolish reasoning and vain interpretations. Do not listen to their foolish ways or turn to their lying beliefs. Look instead for two witnesses whom God will be using in a powerful way as part of His final message and warning to man at the end of this 6,000-year period. It will become abundantly clear who they are because what they do is done only by the power of God. They are given power to perform signs and wonders not witnessed on earth since the days that similar events were accomplished through Elijah and Moses. Heed their warning and turn to the true God whom they declare.
Even those who have been scattered within the true Church of God will be filled with confusion, although closer to the truth of what is taking place because they were given basic truth of this time long ago. But most will still not understand! Why?
Most scattered brethren will not confess- will not acknowledge- the time we are in now. Most cannot accept that we are in the last Church period of time known as Laodicea and that the time of Philadelphia is long over. Not only that, but they cannot accept the truth that God completed a work through His end-time Elijah, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong- a work that many believe they are continuing or that they themselves are going to fulfill. Not only do most not accept this truth because they refuse to believe what God says to the Church, but many become very indignant when anyone tells them that God has already completed His work of the gospel going into all the world "as a witness."
It is by this very refusal of so many that they condemn themselves to a stronger, hard-hearted pride and arrogance against what God would otherwise lead them to see. This is the very reason they will be so confused when the great tribulation finally strikes. It will not happen in the way most have believed, although all have been given basic understanding of the foundational elements of the seals of Revelation. We have already covered most of those in this booklet, as God has blessed us to build upon them. Mo st cannot build upon the basics given to us through Mr. Armstrong because they cannot admit our history in the light of Bible prophecy which has already come to pass. That refusal has led to great ignorance of what is yet to come.
Last Warning
God has shown that we have reached the end of time for any more warning witness to His people through any publications. Time has run out for the scattered Church of God.
The time of God's judgment upon His Church is complete and only a few are going to be called to become a final remnant of all that was scattered earlier. God will call a tithe from the third that was scattered. All who were scattered received an opportunity to repent of pride and a lukewarm spirit. The witness- the testimony is established and judgment set. By this point, we have either heard His voice and repented and are seeking to become more zealous toward Him or we have stubbornly held onto our own ways of seeing Him and have become more deeply entrenched in hard-hearted pride- resisting God's grace.
If God calls you out of the scattered era of Laodicea, will you hear Him and repent? You may be among a very few who will be given a final opportunity to become part of a remnant that He is going to call. This is the last published warning given by any means whereby a few may respond to become part of a final remnant of the last era of the Church! God's word through Joel will now come to pass upon Laodicea. "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call" (Joel 2:32).
God seeks to deliver those who will hear Him. The seventh seal is nearing the time it will be opened. Seven trumpets are about to be blown! They will change the course of this world. They will bring this world to its knees. It will also bring some of the scattered Church to its knees, but not all! Even in the midst of such chaos and tribulation in this world, most of the scattered Church is going to die while in rebellion to God, but a few of those in rebellion will be brought through it all as a witness against all who stubbornly hold to their own will. Thankfully there will also be a few who are brought to their knees in true repentance who will also be brought through this time of great tribulation.
But for now, religious confusion continues to escalate in the world and in the scattered Church. Due to growing problems in the Middle East, and primarily those things involving the nation of Israel, religious leaders from many different backgrounds are theorizing and attempting to interpret Bible prophecy concerning the end-time because, increasingly so, many are sensing a growing threat of massive destructive potential upon this world. That fear will prove to be well-founded and far worse than any can imagine.
Religious confusion can be expected by those in the world who have never known the true ways of God. But sadly, most of the scattered Church will also be in confusion and be completely blind-sided by what does finally come to pass. Why is that?
Because brethren have failed to repent of going to sleep spiritually, resulting in being spued out of God's mouth and scattered, they have failed to learn the lessons and receive understanding that comes from admitting we are deep into Laodicea. As a result they cannot see that Matthew 24 is about the Church and that Christ's Olivet Prophecy parallels the first five seals of Revelation.
So instead of scattered brethren understanding that the first seals being opened are about the Church, they will be holding onto an older belief that leads to a united Europe rising up during the fifth seal that is supposed to conquer the modern-day nations of Israel at that time. But, as we addressed in the article entitled "Clarifying the Seals," such is not the case. The opening of the fifth seal was not about the beginning of great physical tribulation on this world.
The Beginning of Tribulation
"And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets" (Revelation 8:1-2).
The great physical tribulation that will come on this world will actually begin when the seventh seal is opened. God has divided the opening of this seventh seal into seven specific stages. Each trumpet announces a specific disaster- a specific calamity that is to come on this world.
The reason that so many in the scattered Church will be totally caught off guard and in confusion over what is happening is that they do not expect the great tribulation to begin at the blowing of the first trumpet when the seventh seal is opened. When the great tribulation begins, they will still be looking for Europe to rise under the combined leadership of ten rulers who give their power as one. Yet, this does not occur until the fifth trumpet of the seventh seal is blown.
Notice how the great tribulation does begin. It comes swiftly upon the world because the first four angels sound their trumpets at the very beginning. They had previously been held back from unleashing the beginning of this great tribulation until the sixth seal had been accomplished, which was the time for the final sealing of the remaining firstfruits of God's plan.
"And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads" (Revelation 7:1-3).
However, once the seventh seal has been opened, those four angels will sound and great tribulation will come on this earth.
"And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise" (Revelation 8:6-12).
God has not yet revealed what this specifically means. We will know when it is unleashed upon this earth because, when the world experiences this destruction, it will be of catastrophic proportions.
These then are the very events that finally bring together a fully-united portion of Europe that will fulfill even more prophetic events that bring even greater destruction on this earth.
The Fifth Trumpet
Great destruction is brought upon this earth as a result of the first four trumpets being blown, but even more devastating events are about to unfold when the last three trumpets are blown. "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhibitors of the earth by reason of the other voices of the t rumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!" (Revelation 8:13). Each trumpet that remains to be blown is given as a great warning to mankind- a "woe" upon the earth. The first woe comes as the fifth angel sounds his trumpet.
"And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power." (Revelation 9:1-3).
The previous four angels that sounded are the catalyst that prompts this event, when the fifth angel sounds his trumpet. It is at this time, when the fifth trumpet is blown, that Satan has power to stir up certain European nations to combine their power as one. The locusts coming upon the earth has long been understood by the Church to be a great army that is given power to conquer. The key that opens this bottomless pit is what releases Satan to once again do his bidding over a final resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire.
The real power behind this final resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire, that emerges out of the bottomless pit, is indeed Satan. "And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whoso name in the Hebrew tongue means Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon" (Revelation 8:11).
This last resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire is described even more fully later in the book of Revelation. We are given more understanding about the influence that Satan has had over the previous resurrections of this same empire and the final one that is about to come on this earth.
"So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns" (Revelation 17:3). These verses have long been understood by the Church to refer to the seven resurrections of the Holy Roman Empire beginning in 554 A.D. under the rulership of Justinian. He was the first to recognize the supremacy of the Pope and submit to him. Thus, this became the revival of the old Roman Empire that was now the first revival to become known as the Holy Roman Empire.
There is a unique verse that could only be understood as actually occurring in one moment of time. It was revealed to Mr. Armstrong at the very time it was prophetically taking place. "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space" (Revelation 17:10). The sixth revival actually occurred during the life of Mr. Armstrong.
God revealed to Mr. Armstrong that five rulers had already arisen and fallen in the Holy Roman Empire and that he was actually living through the sixth revival during the time of Mussolini and Hitler. Even the title of "Third Reich" gives some truth of what was being attempted by these leaders. (Of interest, look up the meaning of the word "Reich.") There is only one time in history that this verse could be understood as actually being fulfilled. It was when Mr. Armstrong came to understand that seven rulers were to emerge who would prophetically fulfill seven revivals of the Holy Roman Empire. When God gave understanding of this verse to Mr. Armstrong, five revivals had already arise and fallen and one existed now (the sixth revival)- "one is"- at the very time this prophecy was also given understanding that one more was going to arise- the seventh and last resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire. "The beast that thou sawest was [This beast has been the one who has influenced and led all the previous revivals of this Empire.], and is not [This is prophetically true right now, just as Mr. Armstrong understood verse 10 to be true in his day. In other words, this beast was over six previous revivals and is not over any at this very time, but is about to emerge over the last revival.]; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit [This is referring to the seventh and last revival of the Holy Roman Empire mentioned in Revelation 8 at the time of the fifth trumpet in the seventh seal.], and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is [People will once again witness the power and influence of this being that has led each revival of this empire. He has exerted his power over this empire six times before -"the beast that was"- and yet at this very time he is not exercising power over this empire until its time comes- "and is not"- but he has always existed on this earth and exercised influence over man from the very beginning with Adam and Eve- "and yet is."]. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth [This is the false religious system that gives the so-called name of the "Holy Roman Empire."]. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space" (Revelation 17:8-10).
"And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [Satan "was" the one behind the previous six revivals. Yet at this very time he "is not" over a revival, but soon will be over the seventh and last once. Since he has been over all seven, "is of the seven," he is counted as "the eighth."] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast" (Revelation 17:11-13).
Again, verse 3 previously mentioned that there were seven heads and ten horns, and as was stated, the Church has long understood these seven heads to be the seven revivals of the Holy Roman Empire. What is unique in Revelation 17:12, that was just quoted, is that there will be ten kings who "have received no kingdom as yet," because the seventh revival has not yet occurred. These ten horns [verse 3] or ten kings [verse 12] are ten leaders of ten nations that will comprise the seventh and final resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire that is about to be revealed to this earth. The one who has true power over these leaders and is the beast that has already been mentioned- Satan. When the fifth angel sounds the fifth trumpet of the seventh seal, this being will emerge from his place of restraint (translated into English as "the bottomless pit") as the beast over this final revival.
Last Two Woes
Once this revival of the Holy Roman Empire emerges for the final time, with her powerful army that seeks to take control of this chaotic earth, then some far-eastern nations prepare for war in order to seize control over much of the earth, which eventually brings them into a final and great conflict with the seventh revival of the Holy Roman Empire. It is the result of the fifth trumpet being blown- the first woe- that leads to the second woe when the sixth angel sounds his trumpet.
"One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them." (Revelation 9:12-16).
This second woe is harsh upon the earth and a third of all mankind will die because of this fierce army.
Six trumpets have been blown. The time of great physical tribulation will now begin to come to a close as we approach the time of the seventh and final trumpet that remains to be blown- the third and final woe upon this earth. It is at this time that God will bring an end to both of these powerful armies which have come upon the earth bearing so much destruction. God is about to intervene and bring an end to 6,000 years of man's self-rule and usher in His Kingdom to reign on this earth when Jesus Christ returns a second time- this time as King of kings.
The great army that emerged out of the far east will eventually be drawn into a final conflict with the final revival of the Holy Roman Empire. They will come together to do head-on battle in an old Hebrew area known as Megiddo.
"And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared [These are the nations of the far east that united as a 200-million-man army when the sixth trumpet was blown.] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [Satan moves the revived Holy Roman Empire to gather for this battle against the hoards coming out of the east.] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty" (Revelation 16:12-14). This is the time that God will intervene to destroy both of these great armies when they have come together for their great confrontation. It is God who has brought these armies together in order to swiftly bring an end to great physical tribulation on this earth. "And he [God] gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon" (Revelation 16:16). There is much more to this story, but to summarize it, these armies, that have come together for the purpose of destroying each other, will actually turn to fight against that which they then see coming out of the heavens. They do not understand what they behold, but they fear what they see.
They will behold a sight that man has never seen or been able to conceive. Hollywood has imagined many spectacular events in sci-fi movies, but this event far surpasses those imaginations. It is at this very time these nations come together for battle that Jesus Christ will return and take control of all rulership on this earth. His Kingdom will come at this very time! When He returns, it will not be as a lamb when He first came to this earth as our Passover sacrifice, but now, He will return in a great and swift war to conquer these armies.
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." (Revelation 19:11-20).
Caught Off Guard
These seven trumpets, that are blown after the seventh seal is opened, bring about a swift and final succession of end-time events. Not only will this world soon be caught off guard as to what is about to come, but most of the scattered Church of God will be caught off guard as well. As we have already covered, when the seventh seal is opened, the first four angels will sound their trumpets and great destruction will begin on this earth. This initial destruction of great physical tribulation is not caused by a revived Holy Roman Empire, as many believe.
Remember, the seventh seal has not yet been opened and there is knowledge and understanding that God has not yet revealed. But because of a basic outline of understanding that God gave to His servant Herbert W. Armstrong and due to our having lived through the first five seals that have already been opened, God has given us a much clearer outline of those things that are close at hand.
We should be able to clearly see that great physical tribulation does not begin with a revived Holy Roman Empire, but with great devastation unleashed when the first four angels sound their trumpets. Although we cannot know exactly how this is made manifest, we can know the result in the lost ten tribes of Israel being brought to their knees as great end-time nations on this earth. The old Biblical nation of Ephraim (Great Britain and her old commonwealth of nations- including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), Manasseh (the United States of America), and the rest of the "lost ten tribes" (nations of Biblical Israel that make up other modern-day nations of Western Europe) will be made impotent as world powers by those events that accompany the blowing of the first four trumpets.
This is what leads to the timely emergence of a great revival of the Holy Roman Empire for one last time. Ten nations will swiftly come on the scene to fill this power vacuum that is thrust upon the nations of this earth. Portions of Europe already have the desire in their hearts and minds to unite in greater power and influence. A United States of Europe has been in the making for a long time now, but the time "is not yet" for them to fully exert this power on the earth to the magnitude that they are destined to fulfill in a great and final resurrection of the old Holy Roman Empire that God gave prophecy concerning long ago to the prophet Daniel. God gave prophecy concerning our time today about a revival in the Roman Empire when He revealed to Daniel the emergence of three world empires that were to follow the Babylonian Empire. God revealed to Daniel the Medo-Persian Empire that would quickly come to pass, the Greco-Macedonian Empire, and finally the Roman Empire that would emerge out of Europe with many revivals leading up to the end of this age and the coming Kingdom of God that will begin to rule over all mankind, when Jesus Christ returns a second time as King of kings.
Yes, few will see and few will understand. The world will be caught off guard and most of the scattered Church will be caught off guard. Most who hear will not believe right now, but many will come to believe God as He brings this world to its knees through great tribulation on mankind.
All of this is necessary. There is no other way that God's Kingdom can be ushered in except that mankind be humbled as never before throughout the 6,000 years of human history. Mankind will be humbled, brought low in order to be called into the Church of God during a time when the knowledge of God wi ll fill this earth. Mankind must first be humbled so that he can receive the truth of God, and with God's design be able also to receive of His spirit.
We are at the time in all human history when one final revival of a world Empire will come swiftly on this earth. The physical tribulation that is about to come on this earth will be the worst the world has ever witnessed, but mercifully, it will be for a short time. "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space (Revelation 17:10).
What Will You Do?
If you have been a part of the scattered Church and now find that God has given you to understand that the things written in this booklet are true, (just as when God first called you to His truth), then will you repent and turn to Him- away from your spiritual lukewarmness and sleep? To repent now is your choice. Will you respond to become a part of the remnant God will call?
If you refuse His calling to be part of a remnant, then you choose to enter a deeper sleep for one thousand years- and that means to die without deliverance during the time of great physical tribulation.
If you are part of the modern-day nations of Israel, then you will be experiencing great physical tribulation and devastation in the country in which you live. Two-thirds around you will die. All that remains will be scattered and go through further physical tribulation during the last 3 1/2 years before Jesus Christ returns to this earth.
Of that last third, as it was with the last third of the scattered Church (the spiritual Israel of God), only a remnant of ten percent will survive. All who are called to be a part of this remnant will have to respond to God in like manner. You must repent of your ways and turn to God- not to God as you have been taught in any of the religions of this world, but turning to the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You may think you know the Eternal God, the Creator of the universe, but unless you have been a part of the true scattered Church of God in these end-times, you have not known the true God and His son Jesus Christ. Most so-called Christians think they have known, but they have not!
When great physical tribulation comes on this earth, God's two witnesses will be telling humanity that judgment has come upon this world due to man's rejection of God and His ways over the past 6,000 years of human history. These two witnesses will remind the world that they rejected the gospel messages sent through God's own end-time Elijah. Their message will also show that mankind must humble himself before God, repent, and seek His Kingdom that is coming to rule all nations. This will be the time to listen to their words, heed what they say and seek repentance before your God.
The true God of all mankind was revealed in the end of this age by the true end-time Elijah that Jesus Christ said would come. This was God's end-time apostle, Mr. Armstrong, who died in 1986. If you want to know more, seek God's help to find out more about what he taught and the message of the gospel of the Kingdom of God that God gave to him to deliver as a witness to this world before Jesus Christ's second-coming. If you are able, search out his last book, "Mystery of the Ages." If you have means, search the internet for his name and you will find much of the truth that God delivered through him. Many hated him, so do not believe their lies about him, only seek out those teachings and truths revealed through him.
Because of pride, most so-called Christians will hate these words and will not respond as this article has directed them to do. Their choice also is death during this time of tribulation. God makes it abundantly clear that all who come through this time will have humbled themselves and come to very deep repentance. Haughtiness and pride will not endure!
Whenever you read this, repent that God may deliver you. That will be between you and God and much will be determined by how you humble yourself before God and seek Him. Not only may God hear your heart-rending cry for deliverance, but He may pour out favor on not only you, but those of your household. The decision is yours and yours alone. What will you do?
