If you are reading this, and do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior, I hope this will be a tool that the Lord uses to open up your eyes to your need for Him. Your future and eternity could depend on what you decide at this very moment. Don’t let this opportunity to know Christ pass you by. It may be your last!
I have always questioned if there are specific procedures that one could follow that would enable them to survive the tribulation period. I truly believe that it will be by the grace of God that anyone survives. Let me put this time period in perspective. The tribulation period will be so devastating and so horrible that Jesus said, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: But for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened (Matthew 24:22).” We’re talking about five billion people dying with no survivor’s period! But in the latter days of the tribulation period I believe God will shorten the length of a day by eight hours. A twenty-four hour day will become a sixteen-hour day thus preserving some life.
What are the chances of surviving the tribulation period? Nobody knows for sure, but we do know that one-quarter of the world’s population will be eliminated (Revelation 6:7, 8) when the fourth seal is broken and another one-third will die when the sixth trumpet sounds (Revelation 9:13-19). That doesn’t even include the complete destruction of Mystery Babylon, the worldwide earthquake, the complete annihilation of the Russian Alliance, The Battle of Armageddon, and so on. If there are survivors, a person’s chances of being in that number are very slim.
Let’s say five billion people enter into the tribulation period. It has been estimated that as many as four billion people will die leaving one billion survivors. Following the seven-year tribulation the Lord will rule with a “rod of iron” and execute judgment on the nations to determine who will enter into the millennium. The criterion is simple. Those who befriended Israel during the tribulation period will be allowed to enter into the Millennium age. Those who didn’t will be executed without mercy. In some cases, entire nations could be wiped out.
When all is said and done only a fraction of the world’s population will be left. I will be conservative and estimate that 500 million will be allowed to enter the millennium age. Frankly, I think that number is high, but nevertheless, that means a person who enters the tribulation period has a one in ten chance of survival. Oh, and by the way, that number includes only those who did not take the mark of the beast. Almost everyone will and in the end, they will be executed.
Dear friend, if you don’t know the Lord at this time you’re making the biggest mistake of your life. Jesus came and paid your sin debt on Calvary that you might have renewed fellowship with God. Don’t let Satan deceive you into letting this opportunity to know the Lord pass you by. For the hour is approaching and He will not tarry. Please come to the Lord today! Jesus could come tonight and you could be left behind.
