As you've read,
the Tribulation will be a terrible time for the
inhabitants of the earth. Many of the people that
become Christians during this time will be killed
because as a Christian, they refused to take the 'Mark
of the Beast' and worship the 'Image of
the Beast'. Anyone who takes the mark and
worships the image can never be saved because by
doing so they commit themselves to Satan forever.
But if they die a Christian during the
Tribulation they will be raised from the dead
when Jesus returns and live with Him and those
who were raptured. "And I saw
thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for
the word of God, and which had not worshipped the
beast, neither his image, neither had received
his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years." (Revelation 20:4)
But what must you
do to miss the Tribulation? You must be born
again:
"Jesus
answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)
"Marvel
not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born
again." (John 3:7)
You are born again
and receive eternal life by repenting of your
sins, confessing Jesus as Lord and receiving Him
as your Savior, and you should do it today. It's
too dangerous to wait for the Rapture could
happen at any moment:
"In
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed." (1 Corinthians 15:52)
But you may be
thinking, 'I've heard this kind of story my
whole life! All this may never happen or still be
a long way off.'
It's not. Find out
