“For in those days there will be tribulation,
such as has not been since the beginning of the creation
which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.”
Mark 13:19

It’s not just tribulation that’s coming. There’s always been tribulation. No, the one coming that Jesus was speaking of here is “The Great Tribulation,” characterized by being more terrible than anything the world has ever experienced since the beginning of creation.

“…such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

Let the import of that passage sink in. It’s deadly serious. This is going to be worse than the Holocaust, worse than Noah’s flood. The worst the world has EVER seen.

People mock those who believe in the pre-tribulation Rapture, calling us “escapists.” Are we?

Yes we are.

Because Jesus himself TOLD us to be:

“Watch therefore, and pray always
that you may be counted worthy
TO ESCAPE all these things that will come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:36

I have heard people say they’re preparing to go through the Tribulation. They have no idea the horror of what’s coming. More terrible than ANYTHING mankind has ever yet experienced. Some say the first part won’t be so bad. Oh but it will. Anyone who says that hasn’t read the descriptions of the first “Seals,” the first terrible events of the Tribulation. Just in these first Seals, in chapter 6, it sounds like nuclear war. You wouldn’t want to be around to live through even the beginning of them.

Jesus told us to pray to ESCAPE. If you believe his words, wisdom says you have to be an escapist.

Don’t follow his advice and try to prepare instead …to your own peril.
