The Blessed Mother and the Great Tribulation
The Virgin Mary needs apostles to spread the devotion to the Flame of Love of her Heart in the world, and she calls upon each one of us.
She says: “Each person who receives this message (that of the Flame of Love) must accept it as an invitation and none of you should take offence or turn away; “But”, she also warns us:
“You can make known my Flame of Love only by word of mouth… You do not have the right to remain silent, neither through cowardice, nor by pride or negligence or fear of a sacrifice… So take the first step for once! Could I finally see a sign of your goodwill? It is only the first step that costs, believe me! That, you must do it! I urge you! ” The Virgin Mary adds: “You must endeavour to take part in the blindness of Satan… Do not tolerate any delay, because Satan will be blinded insofar as you collaborate in it… Do not prolong this time of preparation! Do not linger passively before answering my holy requests! “
Mary:
“During the Great Tribulation which is about to start, I will be with you in your home all the time. I am your Mother, I can and I want to help you. Soon, you will see the Flame of Love surging like flashes of lightening illuminating the sky and the earth, igniting even the most hardened and darkened souls. Further, I want you to appreciate how excruciatingly painful it is for me to see so many of my children lost to Hell.”

The Great Tribulation…Tribulation.com/archives
Preview - The Great Tribulation described in Bible end time prophecy will include the abomination of desolation, Russian and Muslim invasion of Israel, the destruction of Jerusalem.
In previous chapters we examined the major empires that have seriously affected Israel and in some cases almost destroyed it: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. We saw that they set the pattern for another empire that also will threaten Israel’s existence in the last days. We discovered that empire probably already exists and has had significant impact on Israel since its rebirth in 1948.
In our examination of the period called the Beginning of Birth Pains, we saw that it will include wars, revolutions, coups and general unrest around the globe. The wars probably will include another major war between Israel and the Arab nations, a Russian/Muslim invasion of Israel, five months of chemical warfare or population control, plus an excursion by a mechanized army of 200 million troops. The extreme danger will probably result in nations demanding that a world agency be given authority to impose peace.
The UN Security Council is charged with maintaining international peace and security, but historically its members have used it for their own national interests, reducing its effectiveness as a peacekeeping body. This will eventually lead world leaders to take a slightly different approach to secure international peace and security.
THE RISE OF THE FINAL HUMAN EMPIRE
Their solution will most likely involve a special committee of the UN Security Council that will restore or impose peace and security in trouble-spots. This special committee will be more effective than the Security Council for several reasons: 1) it will provide closer monitoring and quicker response to problems; 2) it will remove the roadblocks created by national interests that have plagued the Security Council; 3) it will prevent individual nations from dominating the peacekeeping actions. When will this committee be formed? I suspect it will be after Israel defeats its neighbors, and after the Russian/Muslim invasion. Prolonged chemical warfare and a Chinese military venture may also be instrumental in the formation of the committee. These will be major conflicts and will be dangerous enough to make world leaders willing to do almost anything to restore “peace and security.” I think that is exactly what it will take to form such a committee and give it such broad powers.
The committee will consist of ten national delegates or military leaders, but national interests will fragment the committee and prohibit it from being effective. As a result, the UN will appoint another individual to head the committee. This individual will be different from the other ten, which suggests he probably will be a UN staff member rather than a national delegate.
This individual is the key figure. The Bible describes him as the antichrist, the beast and a king. I have called him the Chairman because his official responsibility will be the chairmanship of the UN committee. Because of the impact the Chairman and his committee will have on the world and the policies they will enforce, I have called them the Final Human Empire.
The Chairman’s first act will be to subdue three of the ten delegates on the committee, removing the issue that divided them. Under his leadership, the committee will exercise almost dictatorial international authority and he will immediately begin to earn a reputation for being an outstanding international problem-solver. The Bible indicates he will be possessed by an especially powerful demon, which will undoubtedly give the Chairman extraordinary abilities and drive.
The Old and New Testaments together give us a brief character sketch of the Chairman. He will speak boastfully and be contemptible (Dan 7:8 11:21, 36 Rev 13:5) and irreverent (”speak against the Most High,” Dan 7:25). “He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods” (Dan 11:36). “He opposes and exalts himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped” (2 Th 2:4). He will “utter proud words; . . . [and] blaspheme God . . . [and] slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven” (Rev 13:5-6). The word “blasphemy” means insulting or contemptible statements, a lack of reverence for God, or claiming the attributes of God. This guy will say “unheard-of” things against God!
The Chairman will be successful in virtually everything he does. He “will do as he pleases . . . and, will be successful until the time of wrath is completed” (Dan 11:36). The Day of the Lord is the time of wrath, so this verse means the Chairman will be successful until the Lord returns to set up his kingdom. In fact, it will be necessary for the Lord to return to prevent the Chairman from killing every Christian and Jew.
The book of Revelation refers to the committee as a beast in the following verses. “The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshiped the dragon [Satan] because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, ‘Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?’” (Rev 13:3-4). “All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast; all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world” (v8).
The “inhabitants of the earth” are the permanent residents, which does not include the Christians. We are not inhabitants or citizens of earth because “our citizenship is in heaven” (Php 3:20). Not only is this not our home, we are actually “strangers in the world” (1 Pet 1:2). So any reference to “inhabitants of the earth” does not include Christians.
The verses in Revelation 13 introduced a new aspect of the committee’s status — worship — and other verses reinforce this idea. The Chairman “exercised all the authority of the first beast [the committee] on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast” (Rev 13:12).
We see another reaction people have to the Chairman in Revelation 17:8: “The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast.” This describes more than personal charisma. He will astonish people with his abilities. People will worship him, which means they will give him extreme respect and admiration.
Since 1948, the conflict in the Middle East has either been a smoldering ember or a blazing fire and, as we have seen, it will continue to be a threat to world peace and security. The UN General Assembly and Security Council have taken strong stands on the “Palestine problem” and both have passed strong resolutions against Israel. It is possible the Russian/Muslim invasion of Israel will be an alleged “enforcement” of Security Council resolutions.
Because Israel is Israel and Jews are Jews, I seriously doubt they will honor Security Council demands that they withdraw from occupied territories, including Jerusalem, or establish a sovereign Palestinian state within its borders. Especially after they become convinced that God is alive, loves Israel and is fighting in its behalf. Even if Israel withdraws from some of the occupied land under diplomatic pressure or in exchange for peace, I am convinced it will only be temporary.
The UN continues to demand that Israel withdraw to its pre-1967 boundaries and give up all claims to Jerusalem. I do not foresee Israel ever doing that. If anything, another Middle East War will result in Israel occupying even more territory. So it will only be a matter of time before the newly-formed “peacekeeping committee” literally attacks the issue.
In fact, scripture is very clear that the Final Human Empire will attack Israel. Daniel 11 describes our Chairman’s activities:
“[He] will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue (v21). . . . When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers. He will plot the overthrow of fortresses; but only for a time” (v24).
When Israel feels secure — its enemies defeated, the Russian/Muslim army destroyed, and God obviously blessing the nation — the Final Human Empire attacks.
“I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves” (Zech 12:2-3).
It says that all the nations of the earth will come against Israel militarily. That does not require that every army in the world be in Israel, however, because a multinational army sent by the United Nations would fulfill these verses. We will see that even more armies go to the region later for the “battle of Armageddon.”
Why do the armies come? Because Jerusalem (the capital of Israel) is an “immovable rock” — Israel refuses to cooperate with the UN. I love God’s sense of humor. First he calls Jerusalem an immovable rock then says that everyone who tries to move it will hurt themselves!
Let me briefly remind you of Operation Desert Storm. A multinational force gathered against Iraq because it refused to give up occupied land. The Security Council did it to Iraq, and it will do it to Israel.
God’s warnings to Israel are very clear. “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city” (Lk 21:20-21).
“I will encamp against you all around; I will encircle you with towers and set up my siege works against you. Brought low, you will speak from the ground; your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will come ghostlike from the earth; out of the dust your speech will whisper” (Isa 29:3-4).
The armies will surround Jerusalem and besiege the city. The Israelis who do not escape will hide in underground shelters. From: Fox Ventures
Revelation 3:10 describes this period as “… that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell (not ’some who dwell’) upon the earth”. Isaiah writes: “Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface, and scatters its inhabitants” ((Isa. 24:1). He continues along the same line in verse 17: “Terror and pit and snare confront you, O inhabitant of the earth.” Obviously, it seems impossible that the church could avoid experiencing tribulation if she indeed goes through the Great Tribulation.
The Source of the Tribulation
Scripture makes it clear that the Great Tribulation is a time of both divine wrath and satanic wrath. However, Gundry attempts to lessen the severity of this period in relation to believers by making it a period of satanic wrath, and not a time of divine wrath. A brief survey of Scripture shows this view to be incorrect. The Great Tribulation is a “. . . day of the Lord’s wrath” (Zeph. 1:18). The earth will experience “. . . the wrath of the Lamb (Rev. 6:16-17). “The Lord maketh the earth empty: . . .” (Isa. 24:1) and, “. . .the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity” (Isa. 26:21).
The Purpose of the Tribulation
There seems to be a twofold purpose for the time of the Great Tribulation: (1) to bring to conclusion ‘the times of the Gentiles’ (Luke 21:24); and (2) to prepare for the restoration and the re-gathering of Israel in the millennial reign of Christ following the Second Coming. Thus, the purpose of the Tribulation has nothing to do with purging the church or the discipline of believers. This supports the argument that the church will not go through the Tribulation.
Conclusions of this study as to why the church will not go through the Tribulation:
• The nature of the Tribulation relates to Israel and Gentiles, not the Church.
• No O.T. passage on the Tribulation mentions the Church.
• No N.T. passage on the Tribulation mentions the Church.
• The church is not appointed to wrath. It is promised salvation from the wrath to come.
• The church of Philadelphia was promised deliverance form “the hour of trial.”
• It is characteristic of God to deliver believers before divine wrath and judgment.
• The rapture of the church is never mentioned in any passage dealing with the Second Coming after the Tribulation.
• Pretribulationism does not confuse terms like “saints” (general) with terms like “Church” (specific).
• The godly Remnant of the Tribulation are pictured as Israelites, not members of the Church.
• Pre-Tribulationism distinguishes between general tribulation and the Great Tribulation.
• Pre-Tribulationism is the only view that uses a literal interpretation of all N.T. and O.T. passages on the Great Tribulation.
• If the Church is raptured, at the end of the Tribulation, there will be no mortals left to populate the Millennial Kingdom.
• At the rapture, the church goes to the Father’s house (John 14:3), not back to earth again as Post-Tribulationists hold. Since the first sixty-nine weeks of Daniel were subject to literal fulfillment, the final (seventieth) week will have a similar fulfillment. All seventy weeks of Daniel are totally in reference to Israel and her relation to Gentile powers and the rejection of Israel’s Messiah, (i.e., no reference to the church).
Tribulation, Rapture & Millennium
Daniel’s 70th Week
A study of the events leading up to Armageddon, typically called the Tribulation or Jacob’s trouble (since this period deals with Israel & Jerusalem and the Jerusalem temple), seems more valid as the Millennium approaches. Such occurrences as the “Coming of Antichrist” , the re-establishment of Israel’s temple sacrifice in Jerusalem, the “abomination of desolation”, and the resurrection of the dead are revealed in Bible prophecy, esp. the book of Daniel. Daniel contains a prophetic timeline that is to be taken literally (Daniel 8:26). By examining the prophecy given to Daniel concerning the Tribulation, Daniel’s 70th Week, & the “Coming of Antichrist” , an accurate timeline showing the seasons to expect prophetic fulfillment can be derived. The time frame of Daniel’s 70th Week is consistent with God’s fulfillment of prophecy within the feast days of Israel.
Bible prophecy - 360 days in Year
Although the modern Jewish calendar roughly parallels the 365 day solar year, the events of Daniel’s 70th Week, like all Bible prophecy fulfillment, will take place within 360 day Biblical/Prophetic years.
And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week (7 yrs) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease: and on a corner of the alter desolating abominations even until the end.
The covenant must be about the temple sacrifice if it is broken when he causes the sacrifice to cease!
The seven year treaty of Daniel 9:27, signed between Israel and the Antichrist, allows that the temple be rebuilt. This will necessitate not only a revival of tradition with the temple sacrifice, but the reintroduction of the calendar in which to celebrate their feast days–a 360 day Biblical calendar. But whether or not the Jews keep the Feast Day calendar, God will fulfill His prophecy within His own prophetic timeframe.
Daniel 7:25 shows the Antichrists’ power over the nations will last three and one-half Biblical years. Rev.13:5 & 11:2 further describe this power over the nations as consisting of forty-two months, a total of 1260 days.

First Step in Rebuilding Jerusalem Temple?
Israeli group plans to lay cornerstone next month
Copyright 1998, WorldNetDaily.com
JERUSALEM — A group called the Temple Mount Faithful, which seeks to rebuild the Third Temple on the politically and spiritually explosive piece of real estate known as the Temple Mount, plans to take the first dramatic step next month when it lays the cornerstone for the reconstruction project.
The ceremony, in which a block of marble weighing 4.5 tonnes is to be set on the location of the First and Second Temples, is scheduled for the third day of the festival of Sukkoth, or Oct. 7 at 9:30 am.
For years, the Temple Mount Faithful, led by Gershon Salomon, has been preparing for the day that Jews in Israel will rebuild the Temple and restore traditional rituals including animal sacrifices to atone for sin. The group has been recreating ancient Temple vessels necessary for rites and training priests for worship ceremonies.
The stone is currently located in the middle of a traffic circle which was especially built by the municipality of Jerusalem for this purpose. The circle is not far from the Damascus Gate of the Old City, near the third wall of the Second Temple era, near to the special monument for the soldiers who died for the liberation of Jerusalem in the Six-Day War and near to the U.S. Consulate.
The group plans to transport the cornerstone, which will be covered with Tallith, or prayer shawl and accompanied by Levites, or Jewish priests, who will anoint the stone. The priests will be dressed in white garments faithfully recreated in recent years according to biblical laws.
“We want to renew everything which belongs to the Temple and biblical tradition,” says Salomon, who adds that he believes the Temple will be fully rebuilt and used for worship soon. “We know that we are living in a special exciting time of the redemption of the people and the land of Israel, the Temple Mount and Jerusalem. We feel and live the special significance of this time. The members of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement dedicated themselves to fulfill the wish of the God of Israel and the prophecies of the prophets of Israel for the end-times.”
Two Muslim shrines, the Al-Aksa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, also occupy part of the Temple Mount, thus making it one of the hottest flashpoints in the Middle East. The Temple Mount Faithful believe their Messiah will only come when the Temple is rebuilt and used, once again, in full worship ceremonies.

When Does Tribulation Begin?
We know that the treaty of Daniel, the treaty which begins the 70th Week, or Tribulation, is signed in the SPRING of some year. By looking at prophecy, we can at least know the season the Tribulation begins.
THE PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE OF PASSOVER
The feast days of Israel were set by God to portend literal future events. They symbolize God’s design for salvation and were placed in sequence to correspond with their literal fulfillment in the future. If one studies the past events that have already occurred on the feast days of Israel, there are many clues that point to the feast days as dates for future prophetic fulfillment.
The Feast of Passover took place in Egypt when the angel of God passed over the sons of Israel and smote the first born of the Egyptians. Three days later at the Red Sea, on the Feast of First fruits, the Jews passed through the waters parted by God and arrived safely on the other side, no longer slaves to Pharaoh. On Passover, circa 32 AD, judgment passed over the elect and instead smote the only begotten son of God. Three days later, on the Feast of First fruits, Jesus rose from the dead and the elect passed through the penalty of death into eternal life.
Typology indicates that the feast of Passover falls on the day of Armageddon. The sign of the son of man will pass over the earth on the 15th of Nisan/April. Israel will realize Jesus as their true messiah and mourn for him, remembering that on Passover, thousands of years earlier, he was crucified. Three days later, Jesus will stand on the mount of Olives, parting it in the middle. The Jews will pass through the valley between the mountain to safety at the gates of Jerusalem and the forces of the Antichrist will then be destroyed (Zachariah 14).
Since the sign of the coming of Jesus falls on Passover just prior to His return, so the covenant between Israel and Antichrist, the start of Daniel’s 70th Week ( Dan. 9:27), falls on Passover 7 years earlier. If the signing of the 2520 day treaty is on Passover, the midpoint, the 1260th day falls on the eve of the Feast of Tabernacles.
