BIBLE
PROPHECY
before
the
GREAT
TRIBULATION
by Pastor Max
Solbrekken, D.D.
Jesus
warned: "For nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines,
and PESTILENCES, and earthquakes, in divers places."
(Matthew 24:7 kjv)
IN
THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS
TIMES SHALL COME
The
Bible says: "And I looked, and
behold a pale horse:
and
his name that sat upon him was
Death, and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them
over
the fourth part of the earth, to
kill with sword (war), and with
hunger (famine), and with death
(tsunamis, war, earthquakes,
mudslides etc), and with the beasts
of the earth (Mad Cow, Monkey Pox,
West Nile Virus, Sars)." (Revelation 6:8 KJV)
The
world is fearful - Everyone is
looking for answers.
Everything we hold dear is falling
apart!
Are
we living in the end times, the last
days where the Bible scriptures
state that perilous times shall
come - are these signs of the
end of time and the COMING Great
Tribulation?
ARE
WE SEEING SIGNS, SIGNALS &
WARNINGS PROPHESIED IN THE HOLY
SCRIPTURES ?
Are
we seeing the signs, signals and
warnings of what will be taking
place during the GREAT TRIBULATION
which is spoken in the Holy
Scriptures?
NATION
SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION, FAMINES,
PESTILENCE & EARTHQUAKES
Jesus
warned: "For nation shall
rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be
famines, and PESTILENCES, and
earthquakes, in divers places."
(Matthew 24:7 kjv)
The
Bible says: "And I looked, and
behold a pale horse: and his name
that sat upon him was Death, and
Hell followed with him. And
power was given unto them over the
fourth part of the earth, to kill
with sword (war), and with hunger
(famine), and with death (tsunamis,
war, earthquakes, mudslides etc),
and with the beasts of the earth
(Mad Cow, Monkey Pox, West Nile
Virus, Sars."(Revelation
6:8 kjv)
THE
WORLD IS AFRAID - THE WORLD
IS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS
THE
WORLD IS AFRAID - THE WORLD IS
LOOKING FOR ANSWERS - THE WORLD IS
FALLING APART!
The
world has become a very frightening
place, indeed! People are
afraid. They are nervous and anxious
and full of fear. We are now
living in a very unsafe world.
We are living in a world filled with
violence, terrorism, wars,
frightening new diseases and viruses
and startling weather disasters that
are wiping out thousands of people
in seconds.
On
September 11 - the world changed
forever. On September 11 -
Satan was rejoicing. On
September 11 - Satan scored a
victory. But I am here to tell
you that SATAN CAN BE DEFEATED.
OUR
WORLD CHANGED SEPTEMBER 11 -
WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF TERROR
Yes
- the world changed drastically on
September 11. What was a
relatively safe, comfortable
existence instantly turned into a
world of terror. The Islamic
terrorist group al Qaeda and its
leader Osama bin Laden accomplished
A HELLISH DEED on September 11.
The terrorists took away our
freedom, the freedom to feel safe,
the freedom to feel secure.
And
September 11 was only the beginning.
The world is dealing with so many
issues that its hard for people to
cope.
THE
WORLD IS FALLING APART - How long
will it last? Are we living in the
last days. Are these the end
times before the Second Coming of
Jesus Christ?
EARTHQUAKES
- TSUNAMIS - GLOBAL WARNING -
DISEASES - VIRUSES
Our
world is falling apart. Our
air is polluted, our water is
polluted, we are experiencing
earthquakes, tidal waves, tsunamis
in totally unexpected places and at
the greatest magnitudes ever
recorded. Global warming is
threatening our very existence and
the new diseases and viruses we are
seeing in animals and food products
are alarming.
WHAT
IS COMING NEXT IS THE QUESTION?
WHAT
COMES NEXT? THIS IS THE QUESTION ON
THE MINDS OF PEOPLE!
The
whole creation, including the earth
and all living creatures therein,
the cosmos and all universes that
our Lord has created, are groaning
and travailing in pain and travail
"together until now."
The
earth is "running down"
.
Man has polluted the air, polluted
the water and the earth. The
earth is polluting and destroying
itself through earthquakes, tidal
waves, tsunamis and volcanic
eruptions.
NATURE,
through solar storms, falling
meteors, black holes, white holes
and worm holes is doing damage to
the universe. Tornados,
cyclones, tsunamis and severe
electrical storms cause great bodily
harm and death to people and
animals, as well as destroying
millions of acres of timber annually
through forest fire. The
animals and wild life are themselves
polluters, spreading disease amongst
themselves, as well as being
purveyors of many deadly diseases to
the human population.
ARE
AIDS, SARS, MAD COW DISEASE, BIRD
FLU LAST DAYS, END TIME BIBLE
PROPHECY ?
AIDS,
WEST NILE VIRUS, MONKEYPOX,
SARS, MAD COW DISEASE - Are these diseases
and viruses the starting point of
what is coming next during the GREAT
TRIBULATION ?
I
believe that the outbreak of AIDS,
SARS, Ebola virus, Lyme disease, Mad
Cow disease (BSE), Foot and Mouth
disease (FDM), West Nile Virus,
Hanta Virus, Monkey Pox and the
latent TB and drug resistant TB that
is now rampant (2 billion world
wide) is surely Bible prophecy being
fulfilled. There are also so
many new viruses, bacteria and
parasites spread by animals, rodents
and pests to human beings. Are
these new viruses from animals also
a precursor to the awful things
which will happen during the GREAT
TRIBULATION.
NEW
VIRUSES APPEARING AT FASTER RATES,
SCIENTISTS BELIEVE
A
recent headline that appeared
(August 2003) in the Washington
Post, must have sent shock waves
through the Medical Community and
the general population. From a
theological perspective, the
connection between Biblical
eschatology and the phenomenal
parade of new emerging viruses being
passed from animals to humans, this
new report is very significant.
IS
END TIMES BIBLE PROPHECY BEING
FULFILLED RIGHT NOW
IS
END-TIMES BIBLE PROPHECY BEING
FULFILLED WITH: massive earthquakes,
the Sri Lanka Tsunami, terrorist
attacks, the wars in Iraq,
Afghanistan and continuing unrest in
the Middle East?
Are
the new diseases Sars, Mad Cow
Disease, West Nile Virus, Bird flu
and many others biblical prophecies.
Are these world disasters, extreme
weather changes, world disasters and
mounting hatred, wars and nations
turning against nations world wide
BIBLE PROPHECY coming to pass.
The
Bible states: "And I looked,
and behold a pale horse: and his
name that sat upon him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to
kill with sword (war), and with
hunger (famine), and with death
(tsunamis, war, earthquakes,
mudslides etc), and with the beasts
of the earth (Mad Cow, Monkey Pox,
West Nile Virus, Sars.")
(Revelation 6:8)
For
a very long time Bible scholars were
unable to understand this verse.
Everyone had serious questions about
beasts being a source of so many
people dying. When S.A.R.S.
struck the world with a vengeance a
few years ago, the meaning of the
scripture became very evident.
St. John's prophecy was so
absolutely clear!
THE
BIBLE SCHOLARS CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
WAS WRONG
The
prevalent though was that when
famine came, the wild beasts from
the forests would enter the cities
and towns and kill people for food.
Some translations of Revelation 6:8
placed the words 'wild beasts'
in their study notes.
Now
we know how wrong that
interpretation was. God's Word
is absolutely perfect and as we near
the end of time. As a theologian who
has studied the Holy Bible
scriptures for over 40 years I
believe this to be pre-Tribulation
more and more as the truth in
revealed through events that happen
round about us.
In
my research, I found found that SARS,
Lyme Disease, Foot & Mouth
disease, Mad Cow disease, Hanta
virus, Monkey pox, Ebola virus, Aids
and West Nile Fever are diseases
that have all come from animals
(beasts) or rodents and insects
(pests). Jesus warned:
"For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and
PESTILENCES, and earthquakes, in
divers places." (Matthew 24:7).
STRANGE
& FRIGHTENING NEW VIRUSES AND
INFECTIONS APPEARING
Rob
Stein wrote: "It happens again
and again. Strange and
frightening new infections seem to
appear out of no where, such as Lyme
disease, Ebola and of course, AIDS.
With Monkeypox coming on the heels
of Sars, which emerged not long
after West Nile, it is a phenomenon
that seems to be happening at an
accelerating rate."
"Scientists
agree that the trend is alarming and
appears to be gathering speed.
In the coming years, they say,
dangerous new pathogens
emerging."
WE
ARE SURROUNDED BY DEATH AND
DESTRUCTION - THE WORLD HAS BECOME
UNCERTAIN & FEARFUL
On
every hand, we see death and
destruction. The Bible states
that, "the whole world lieth
in wickedness." (1
John 5:19); "And the world
passeth away and the lust thereof,
but he that doeth the will of God
abideth forever." (1 John
2:15-18)
Not
only they, by OURSELVES also, which
have the first fruits of the Spirit,
even we ourselves groan within
ourselves, waiting for the adoption,
that is to say, the redemption
(resurrection) of our body."
SATAN
IS HARD AT WORK - SATAN
IS AWARE WE ARE NEARING
THE END TIMES
SATAN
IS HARD AT WORK AND SATAN'S
INFLUENCE IS PRESENT EVERYWHERE -
SATAN IS AWARE WE ARE NEARING THE
END-TIMES
SATAN'S
FILTH & STENCH can be seen,
heard and felt across the world.
His evil, unholy and corrupting
influence is everywhere present; in
homes, communities and nations, as
well as in academia, the government,
commerce, judicial systems and in
the church.
The
truth is that the whole world lies
in wickedness and Satan is the
"prince of the power of the
air." Satan is the
author of the "spirit of
disobedience" that pervades
society today. This "spirit
of disobedience" is
affecting millions of people across
the earth. (Ephesians 2:2,
Ephesians 5:6, Colossians 3:6)
Even
though we as Christians are filled
with the Holy Spirit and have
fellowship with Jesus and each
other, we live in a flesh and blood
body. We are constantly being
bombarded with temptations. We
have Christ's promise of divine
healing, but we are still subject to
ageing and death.
St.
Paul states that we groan inwardly
because of our limitations and
desire to be clothed with a
glorified body, knowing that one day
we will be changed and receive a
glorified body similar to Christ's.
The Bible says: "Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath
bestowed upon us, that we should be
called the sons of God: therefore
the world knoweth us not, because it
knew Him not."
"Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it
doth not yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when He shall
appear, we shall be like Him, for we
shall see Him as He is."
(1 John 3:1-2).
Death
and corruption have been present on
this earth and in the cosmos since
the terrible 'fall of man' in the
Garden of Eden. Everything is
subject to the 'Second Law of
Thermodynamics' - that of ageing,
deteriorating and corruption.
There is no escaping it.
Everyone that is born dies
eventually and will go back to the
dust of the earth. All great
men and their empires, small or
great will deteriorate and go to
ruin. Now the universe is
running out of steam and Bible
Prophecy is being fulfilled and will
continue to be fulfilled as time
goes on.
JESUS
demanded: "..Whosever will come
after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For
whosoever will save his life shall
lose it; but whosoever shall lose
his life for My sake and the
gospel’s the same shall save
it."
"For
what shall it profit a man if he
shall gain the whole world, but lose
his own soul? Whatsoever
therefore shall be ashamed of Me and
My words in this adulterous and
sinful generation, of him also shall
the Son of Man be ashamed, when He
cometh in the glory of His Father
with the Holy angels." (Mark
8:34-38 KJV).
Christ’s
Victory and Satan’s Defeat is our
Liberty
for
time and eternity! Amen and Amen.

Did
ever people hear the voice of
God speaking out of the midst of
the fire, as thou hast heard,
and live?

Or
hath God assayed to go and take
him a nation from the midst of
another nation, by temptations,
by signs, and by wonders, and by
war, and by a mighty hand, and
by a stretched-out arm, and by
great terrors, according to all
that the Lord your God did for
