THE GREAT TRIBULATION [2]

                                                         THE GREAT TRIBULATION

AN APPEAL 

Haven ended part one of the series we now begin part two proper of the GREAT TRIBULATION. However many of the scenes we will be reading here are gory and may be seen as offensive by many. I hereby apologize. Blessed is he who is not offended by these writings for it is expedient that these things be presented as they have been revealed.

They are written for our ensamples that we may hold fast to them least at any time we allow them slip and so unwillingly find ourselves in the negative part of eternity. The blessings of the LORD GOD be upon us all. Amen.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION 

The training session came to an end. The men had been thoroughly schooled in the act of the inquisition. Their training had commenced a few years before the rapture and now they have graduated. They were taught to have no fear, no pity nor mercy. They have only one goal: drill people to submission and eliminate the recalcitrant ones.

Their tutors had hearts as black as coal and as cold as ice. No one could tell where they emerged from for it seems as though they were from the highest echelons of fiery evil fiends from the pit of hell itself. The dogs to be used in the exercise were as big as the giant wolves and as ferocious as the most ill tempered of the wild cats.

 

THE GREAT TRIBULATION 2

Both man and beast were trained in special camps and at the appointed time were to be unleashed to cause havoc to mankind. They were to be used as a special elimination force by the President to deal with all men who refused to accept the mark of the beast.

The time appointed was at hand. A video session was beamed live in all TV stations around the globe. In this video some things that looked like aliens were seen communicating with some men perfecting strategies to use in orchestrating mischief against mankind so great that it would make the catastroph that occurred on the day still being disputed as the rapture to look like a child’s play.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION 3

After the video clip the President made his announcements thus: This clip was taken by special satellites beaming several million miles away from the earth. The men were leaders of the opposition group campaigning against the reception of the registration mark. These men were secretly in league with the aliens to destroy the earth.

No responsible government would sit tight and allow such mishap against his people. Therefore all members of the opposition who have hitherto refused to receive the mark will be fished out and brought to book. This announcement was greeted with wild cheers. Without delay the persecution began in a fearful dimension.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION 4

Deogratias sat at the table to eat their scanty meal with his pregnant wife and four year old son. Meal was in short supply for the adherents of the reformers movement. Many a time these courageous people stayed without food for several days because they were not allowed to buy or sell.

The special force burst into his apartment, ripped open the stomach of his pregnant wife and fed the baby foetus to their dogs. Next his four year old son was crucifed to the cabinet shelf before he was beheaded as the TV crew recorded proceedings.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION 5

Samson was seized as he was about to enter his home. He was tied with a chain to the back of a vehicle and the driver drove away furiously as he was dragged along the ground. Mary was taken outside before a crowd of spectators and they watched in horror as parts of her body were being dismembered one after another.

Scenes like these and others more gory and not too pleasant for public reading made many people fled their homes. Many fled to the villages enroute to the great forests for the persecution was everywhere. There were no hiding places. Others fled to the mountains and wandered about in scanty clothing as destitute witjout food nor water. They were completely at the mercy of weather and climate and the animals of the wild.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION 6

Many were thrown into the prisons, some were electrocuted others were sawn asunder. Yet they beared their suffering with patience. Of these class of noble men and women the world was not worthy. Had they been mindful of their sufferings they had ample opportunity to recant and receive the mark but they chose to suffer reproach for the name of their GOD and KING therefore GOD was not ashamed to be called their GOD.

HE threw open the life gate of heaven so that all may go in. Those who lost their lives here found it in heaven for they had clearly demonstrated by their sufferings that they seek a home in a country not made with hands whose founder and architect was GOD.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION 7

However those who endured these sufferings to the end were very few in comparison with all them that started the race together.

WILL JESUS EVER COME BACK AGAIN?

WILL JESUS EVER COME BACK AGAIN?

My dear do you know how not too long ago, two poor Christian couples fell in love and got married. And when they were married so sad was their plight for they never seemed somehow to get out of financial crises. So they went to see their Pastor who told them to go home for Jesus would visit them that Saturday.

And so from one neighbor to another they borrowed small sums of money to add to what they had to give Jesus a feast. And when it was 5pm the door bell rang and the lovely Christian lady went to open the door. But much to her dismay it was a poor beggar who lived in the neighborhood looking dirty and unkempt who had come to plead for some food.

 

WILL JESUS EVER COME BACK AGAIN? 2

They thoroughly tongue lashed him and instructed him strictly never in his life to try such stuff again. Showing him the exit door, they went back to continue their watch but Jesus never showed up how much more coming to the party. Early the next morning they rushed down to the church to remonstrate with the Pastor. By revelation, he asked them if someone did not visit them by 5pm the previous day? Their reply in unison was in the affirmative. Then he sais: that man was Jesus.

The couple became heartbroken and crestfallen as the tears flowed down their cheeks freely, they always being mindful of high things, saw how clearly they have missed a golden opportunity to demonstrate some true love. As they wept they asked no one in particular “Will Jesus ever come back again?”

THE GREAT TRIBULATION

                                          REJECTING THE MARK OF THE BEAST {2}

Rev. Boniface’s action provoked commentaries and arguments in many places worldwide. Majority of the people criticized him. Why will a man go ahead to protest against another man who had good wishes for the people and have even gone ahead to demonstrate it over and again? They argued.

Which President in the history of mankind had achieved in so such a time what the world President had achieved? And even in the aspect of religion, what was wrong with a religion that allows the people to do as they wish provided they don’t directly trample on the right of others and they worship only one god who is being represented in the physical by the President? They argued further.

THE REFORMATION 2

Several others however did not tow this line of thought. They saw sense in what Rev. Boniface stood for. A religion that gives freedom to the people to do as they wished whether such actions constitute clearly a sin before GOD was not the right type.

One of such people was Pastor Kingston from the US. He too haven narrowly missed the rapture because he followed the same path of indulging worldliness all in the name of following modern trend even when the LORD had clearly commanded: Love not the world neither the things that are in the world for they that love the world do not have the love of the FATHER in them, now wished above anytning else to do that only which will redeem his soul.

THE REFORMATION 3

He put a call through to Rev. Boniface and exchanged acquitances. Both of them having similar interests agreed to work together so as to sensitize their fellow men on the perilous nature of the time in which they lived in.

Without much ado, they launched out using whatever means that was affordable to them to produce spectacular right ups to promote their work. Many people got hold of their writings and messages in both the print and electronic media. This caused them to read up the Bible for themselves and the eyes of their understanding were enlightened. The reformation began.

THE REFORMATION 4

It is amazing to see the diligence with which people will pursue interests that lead to the salvation of their souls once they receive enlightens. Haven realized that there were no such things as aliens and that which happened on that day of much disaster was the rapture and the registration exercise that followed was nothing but a ploy to give them the mark of the beast, they knew what they must do.

Those who had not yet received the mark not only declined from doing so but encouraged others not to receive it. Those who had already received the mark, knowing there was no way they could return it, these people chose not to participate any further in the benefit that accrue from the reception of the evil mark.

THE REFORMATION 5

All these people knew that they would suffer hunger, thirst, shame and loss of jobs, but what matters hunger, what matters thirst? Are these not only things that benefit the flesh? Was salvation not more important than earthly desire? How long will this President rule? They asked themselves.

From their studies they knew that he will rule no more than seven years. Was it not more honourable to suffer persecutions for seven years and then make it to heaven when Jesus comes to establish the one thousand years reign? So fully persuaded they decided to carry the cross of suffering and shame and pitch tents with their LORD even to the death.

THE REFORMATION 6

So the word of GOD spread fast and the work of the reformers gather momentum. Lots of people joined this movement however most of them had no indepth knowledge of what they were enlisting for. It looked like a roller coastal ride to them but they were soon to regret this action of theirs.

The persecutions that followed was not a child’s play. Of a truth it seemed as if all the torturing experienced in different parts of the world since the beginning of time was now being concentrated in one place and even then it was not worthy to be compared to what these reformists sufferd. Many threw in the towel but those that knew their GOD were strong and went on to do exploit. 

END OF PART ONE

INTERMISSION

THE SOCIAL MISFIT

I am a social misfit. I do not follow modern trends and fashions.

In fact I am not social at allllll, not because I am not capable of doing so,

But it is because I do not wish to betray my MASTER

And nail HIM to the cross again the second time.

HE has given me HIS commandment; That though I am in the world,

I am not of this world. For I being an ambassador of the Kingdom of theh

HIGHEST GOD, I must not pattern myself according to earth’s fashion.

For the fashions of this world do pass away and the lusts thereof,

Why should I then spend much time pursuing that which have no eternal value?

REJECTING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 5

Even the Lord GOD Almighty haven prescribed the modus operandi of worshipping HIM to the Israelites of old did not go ahead to enforce this on all the other nations of the earth. Worship is a personal decision and each man should be allowed to worship as he chose.

I have made mistakes before. Had I not been too carried away with all these prosperity, dominion, liberty in Christ and the taking over of the world by Christians stuff, perhaps I could have been among those people who were taken up to heaven on the day of the rapture.

Now where did all these messages land me? Where is the world to be taken over now that Christianity has been scrapped?

REJECTING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 6

Had I concentrated in teaching on those things which constitute the real values of life, things which produces righteousness and purity who knows perhaps many of these my members would have participated in that holy flight called the rapture?

I have betrayed my Lord and Master before in not doing that which is right howbeit mistakenly. Should I now with my two eyes wide open betray him again? Tell the President we love him but we will not leave here, we will undergo hunger strike until he expounges that clause from his list of many good works.

REJECTING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 7

Many people watched this session on their local TV station. As many that were impressed and had similar opinion before, came out to join the protesters. Soon a very large crowd had gathered and they were all singing choruses as if it was a crusade ground. All of them were determined to remain there until the President rescinds his decision.

The President need not do any such thing because within a few hours armoured tanks arrived at the scene. Very stern looking anti riot mobile policemen came to the fore brandishing their weapons. The crowd dispersed immediately without a fight. Only Rev. Boniface stayed behind to press home his demands but he was whisked away by the security men and thrown into the gulag.

REJECTING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 8

Footages of this encounter was carried and aired by major TV and Satelite broadcast stations all over the world. It was remarkable it being the first out cry against the policies of the world President whom many have already began to worship as god.

The President himself watched the clip and was quite impressed by Rev. Boniface’s speech. He knew quite well that somewhere along the line he will encounter opposition but not so soon and not from so feeble a crowd as Rev. Boniface’s supporters. The real thing would soon come and he knew what he must do to quell the opposition.

REJECTING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 9

It was because of this very reason that the Almighty had allocated this time to him ever before most men where born. He saw in Rev. Boniface a possible ally if he could persuade him to team up with hs camp.

Who would not like to have a man who would do nothing against his conscience as a worker? Since his time had not yet come, he sent word ordering the release of Rev. Boniface. This added to his already growing profile and the people loved him the more.
