DCLM Daily Manna Devotional 18th November 2022 Message
It is amazing how the world reacts to divine truths. The modern man responds to spiritual realities as though they were imaginative conjectures. While most people would not dare stand before a moving train (because the danger is real), they grin, chuckle and sneer at the revelation that a day of judgment will come, when God’s anger will be unleashed on the earth.
The events in our text describe the time of the great tribulation. This is one of the significant events in God’s end-time programme. It is variously described as the time of Jacob’s trouble; a day of darkness and of gloominess; a day of clouds and of thick darkness; a day of desolation. It will be characterised by woes, judgments, famines, bloody wars, explosions, plagues, terror, anguish, earthquakes, eruptions, etc. The purpose of the great tribulation is to make Israel suffer so that they can cry out to the Messiah whom they, at present, reject. It is also to judge the unbelieving men and women of all ages.
The Bible states that the great tribulation will happen after the rapture of the Church and will last for seven years. It will end at the second advent of Jesus Christ when He descends on Mount Olives for a-thousand-year reign on earth called the millennial reign of Christ. It is post-rapture because God will not want His children to pass through the tribulation, its judgment and destructions. So He will take His children away from earth before the great tribulation.
How we need to be conscious of this fact and make deliberate effort to escape God’s judgment. Whilst sinners must repent of all sins, believers must maintain a daily life of holiness. It is also important to continue to warn sinners of the need to escape this imminent day of doom before it is too late.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The day of reckoning is closing in.
