Warning-Some pictures on the Chart are very graphic showing beheading & crucifixion of Christians by muslims
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. –James 1v27
The purpose of this article with chart (see link above) is to highlight what the Biblically prophesied Tribulation Period to come will look like. It will be a time of decapitations, slaughter, crucifixions & persecution for the Followers of Jesus Christ during that time at the hands of religious zealots. Christ Himself spoke of a time in which religious fanatics would slaughter the Followers of Christ thinking they are doing ‘god’ or allah a favor. We are witnessing a resurgence of this type of persecution by muslims against Christians not seen since the Middle Ages.
This perspective of the coming persecutions during the Tribulation Period to include GOD’s Wrath is assuming that the Rapture of the Church Age Christian Believers occurs before this Prophetic Tribulation Period. It will be speculated that the Church Age Christians are not present during this period of judgment on Christ’s enemies as interpreted by many who study Biblical End of Days scenarios. The Rapture will side aside the ‘Restrainer’ of evil –the Holy Spirit; with this, chaos & pure evil unrestrained will be totally unleashed on Earth. GOD will not leave Himself without a Witness but the horrors of persecutions will be much worse than what we are seeing perpetrated by the muslims in the Middle East currently.
It appears that the next major chaotic configuration needed to usher in the full blown evil luciferian AntiChrist and/or Mahdi of the Muslims is being orchestrated right before our very eyes. This staged chaos, mass rallies & muslim demonstrations against the “West’, Israel in particular, has the ancient Christian communities of the Middle East at their cross-hairs. The satanic rage against YHWH’s Earthly & Spiritual people is now concentrated solely in the muslim world & is to involve the religions of the Middle East. This will lead up to the Tribulation spoken about in the Bible, specifically in Daniel & Revelation. It will tie in & will also involve the market collapse of the Euro & Petro Dollar to follow.
This scenario will most likely occur if & when Israel will militarily strike Iran to incapacitate its nuclear weapons program that its leaders have threaten will use to obliterate Israel off the map of the world. The muslims will be 1) united against the Christians religiously & 2) against the Jews militarily. We are currently seeing this chaos being set up to be a two-prong approach to usher in the New Word Order. On one end, you will have a religious confrontation between islam against the Jews & Christians of the region & then the world during the Tribulation Period. The other dimension of this chaos will led to a new configuration of the world currency unit that will most likely be centralized & electronic in nature. By controlling the religion & economy of the world’s masses, the luciferian AntiChrist can, only then, have a much easier task in demanding total worship & allegiance.
For the purpose of providing some Biblical context to the events of this coming Tribulation Period: 1) A timeline of the sequence of remaining major Prophetic Events will be given. 2) A traditional notion of what the Tribulation Period length of years could be will be overlaid for a possible layout of time. 3) A synopsis of the Book of Revelation will be outlined that perhaps will correlate to the possible Tribulation Period timeframe. 4) A map of the end result of the Psalm 83 War between Israel & its muslim neighbors will show the possible land expansion -as alluded to in the Bible in such places as Obadiah & Jeremiah.
The muslim Confederations
There will be 2 Arab Confederations in particular that will come up militarily against the State of Israel; one leading up to the start of the Tribulation Period & one during the Tribulation. The 2 major military assaults against the Jews in Israel –according to Biblical prophecy are the 1) Psalm 83 & 2) Gog-Magog Wars. We are currently witnessing the built-up to the coming Tribulation Period as the rise of islamic satanic fervor has reached an all time high. One amateur movie on Youtube exposing islam & mohamed done months prior to the staged 9-11, 2012 anniversary does not explain the murder of a US Ambassador & attacks of several western embassies. No less than 15 demonstrations accrued on the same day across the muslim world.
1) The Psalm 83 War
Most likely after Israel will attack/strike Iran, an Arab Confederation of bordering nations with Israel will simultaneously attack Israel as they did in 1948 & 1973. As with those prophetic dates, the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, YHWH will increase the land of Israel that it will conquer by Divine Right. (Gen 15) This war will lead to the ‘Confirming the Covenant with the Many’ spoken by the Prophet Daniel that will enable Israel to live in ‘un-walled cities’ in a false sense of ‘Peace & Security.’ This scenario will then lead up to the next muslim military confederation against Israel called the Gog-Magog War.
Psalm 83 War - muslim Confederacy of nations:
1. Egypt
2. Palestine Hamas
3. Arabia
4. Jordon
5. Syria
6. Lebanon
7. Hezbollah
8. Iraq
Damascus - Isaiah 17
At some point in time, Syria will probably elect to use it chemical & biological arsenal against Israel. At this time, Israel will retaliate with a nuclear devise. This could very well occur as islamic radical will most likely overthrow the Assad government of Syria & end up in control of its chemical & biological arsenals. It is believed that sometime during or before the Psalm 83 arab evasion of Israel, Israel will exercise its Samson Option against Syria because of this very reason. This is the nuclear deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a “last resort” against the arabs that are attacking them to the point of ‘mutual assured destruction.’
2) Gog-Magog War (Russia & muslim Alliance) - Ezekiel 38 & 39
Sometime during the Tribulation Period when Israel will be living in Peace & Security with un-walled villages, an alliance of muslim nations & Russia will descend upon the hills of Israel to take a spoil – the Bible declares. By this time, Israel will have become wealthy with produce, land & resources. Perhaps after the Psalm 83 war in which Israel expanded it boarders & land, it will have stirred up the constant rage & jealousy of its outer muslim neighbors to the point that they will conspire to form an alliance to attack Israel.
The 3rd ROME - Moscow
To the muslims, this military alliance with the ’Christians’ is not far fetched. In islam, mohamed ‘prophesied’ that islam would make an alliance with ‘Rome’ in the Last Days. It is well documented that the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church today is mainly governed & influenced by the Russian Orthodox Church. Perhaps this is the alliance spoken of in Ezekiel 38 & 39. Although Russia is ‘Christian’ in the sense of the word, 40% of its former & current Republics & army units are muslim.
Gog-Magog War / Russian – muslim Confederation of nations:
1. Russia
2. Persia
3. Libya
4. Sudan
5. Ethiopia
6. E.Europe
7. Turkey
8. Central Asian Republics
The Obama Doctrine
The Obama Doctrine as it pertains to the Middle East is simple, it is Pro-muslim. It is evident in the financial & military backing of the Arab Spring & overthrow of various arab governments. It is interesting that the first act the muslim jihadist & al-Qaida government did in Libya was to form a Central Bank. Libya was one of the few remaining nations of the world without one in which the luciferian Zionists did not control the monetary policy of such; the others were Iraq & Afghanistan. The last remaining ones are North Korea & Iran. Do you see a pattern here?
The Obama jihadist sympathizing foreign policy of supporting & aiding the Muslim Brotherhood & al-Qaida in the recent arab uprisings is showing America’s prophetic role in the Last Days. America is being set up to take the ‘fall’ to help usher in the New luciferian World Oder; it has been the Phoenix, but now it must die so that the new one to come can be reborn out of the ashes of economic & religious despair. W are even now seeing the unraveling of Obama’s Doctrine; the very islamic insurgents such as those in Tunisia & Libya that Obama helped have now murdered the very people that helped overthrow their former political establishment.
Not many know that the Muslim Brotherhood –for example, was fostered & funded by Hitler against the Jews in the 1920s. Obama’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood, who was considered until Obama a terrorist organization murdered 100s of innocent civilians, Jews & Christians. Such extremist & intolerant terrorist organization will now be receiving billions of US aid, complimentary of US Taxpayers to rebuild their mosques of hate & amass military armory at Israel’s borders now in preparation for the Tribulation Period to come.
It is interesting that the film ‘Innocence of muslims’ to have supposedly sparked the muslim riots was made 2-3 months before the 9-11, 2012 embassy attacks. Even though the film was based on accurate muslim accounts, the riots were held around the muslim world on 9-11. To the muslims, 9-11 is tied spiritually to the ‘rise of islam’. The wave of rage & persecution of the Christians has shown islam’s true colors & satanic fervor. Where are the so called ‘moderate’ muslim voices to be heard that should be speaking against such acts of barbaric proportions against Christians?
Compared to Buddhism, Taoism, Confucius, Hinduism, Sikhism, Indigenous Native American, Judaism, & Christianity, the religion of islam is the most intolerant & vile religion on Earth. It is bent on hate, world domination by force without mercy. Their hate & rage against the Jews & Christians is un-natural, satanic even. There religious euphoric craze can only come directly from the pit of hell itself. It is the rage & fervor of lucifer himself that energies them through his religion, for he knows that his time is short. It is Mr. Religion himself, lucifer that according to the Bible, seeks to destroy -not only the Seed of the woman, Jesus Christ & his followers, but the physical descendants of its blood line, the Jewish people & their re-birthed Nation. This has been especially the case since 1948 when Israel declared its independence.
The Religion of islam
If you ever engage in a religious debate with muslims about their religion, they will emphatically proclaim that islam, ‘is a religion of Peace & Tolerance.’ In islam, the hate against & license to murder non-muslims is infused in the actual tenants of muslim’s faith & so called sacred texts from their god ‘allah’. On one hand islam speaks of a ‘merciful’ god but slaughters those that refuse conversion. When there is no free will, no freedom to ‘leave’ their religion without having one’s head hacked off like the muslim Brotherhood is crucifying the Copt Christians; it is anathema & vile. The religion of islam allows no critique & is intolerant of criticism at any level to the point that any amount is deemed blasphemous & punishable by either death or prison. It is as if allah is so weak to have to be defended by mere fanatical mortals on its behalf.
The fact that islam denies & is directly apposed to Jesus Christ’s divinity –as defined in the New Testament is blasphemous in itself. It is called the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Matt. 12:22-32. When movies came out against the person of Christ such as ‘The Last Temptation of Christ’ or ‘Jesus was a Monkey’ is spray-painted on monetary walls in Israel, do Christians go on a rampage to behead, crucify or murder innocent people? No. It is when you deny Christ as God the Son & the work He did & is doing by the Holy Spirit to be that of satan’s that is blasphemous. Christ Himself proclaimed that one could say anything about the Son of Man, but when people ascribe the work of the Holy Spirit -as being that of lucifer, that is where YHWH draws the line. 1 John 2v23
Tribulation Scenario
The following are the possible countdown scenario to the Tribulation Period. It is a sequence of prophetic events leading up to the start of the Tribulation according to the Bible. There is Biblical dispute as to its timing. There is also a dispute as to the interpretation of its timing & duration. A year count will either encompass the Tribulation Period; that is 42 Months/1260 days or full 7 Year Period of 2520 Days. Nonetheless, this coming Tribulation Period will be like none other times of past persecutions. Such times have been when the Christians were thrown to the lions in Roman coliseums, to the Inquisition, documented massacres, Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, etc.
Jew & Christians have suffered in the past & would be seen as having gone through much ‘Tribulation’ already. Christ did state that through much tribulation, one would enter His Kingdom. Thus, tribulation has accompanied the Church Age but the coming Tribulation is unique in that it deals with the judgment of the world & the disciple of National Israel & not the Church, or Body of Christ. What is unique about the coming Biblically prophesied Tribulation Period to come is that according to Jesus Christ, unless He would not return to cut it short in some fashion, no flesh would be left alive. Also, there are numerous Promises that allude to His Body being removed physically from this time; as in parallels to what happened to GOD’s people during the judgments of Sodom-Gomorrah & the Flood or Noah. Nonetheless, the possible scenario of prophetic event leading up to the coming Tribulation could be the following:
-Israel strikes Iran’s nuclear facilities to eliminate a 2nd Holocaust
- The western markets Collapse, Euro & Petro Dollar as the price of oil skyrockets
- The Rapture of Church Age Christians occurs; a ‘lie’ is propagated to explain the phenomena
- Arab Invasion of Israel Psalm 83 War in retaliation to Iran strike by Israel
- Israel expansion of its borders encompassing parts of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan & Egypt & Gaza
- NWO AntiChrist comes on the scene to provide economic, religious & political solutions
- A Treaty to ‘confirm a Covenant’ with Israel & the NWO AntiChrist will be signed
- The Jews rebuild the 3rd Temple on the Temple Mount & commence daily sacrificial rites
- A false sense of Peace & Security will befall Israel as its towns & cities will have no walls of protection
- Gog-Magog War of Ezekiel 39 with Russia & Muslims is miraculously thwarted by YHWH
- Cataclysmic & astronomical occurrences happen to affect billions on Earth as described in Revelations
- AntiChrist/False Prophet/satan unleash Armageddon War to avert the Return of Jesus Christ to Earth
- Jesus Christ physically returns with Resurrected & Raptured Believers to defeat satan & establish Kingdom
Book of Revelation Outline
The Bible declares that Jesus Christ alone, not a sub-servant to the mahdi or mohamed will judge the world of it sin against Him & because of its slaughter of His Followers throughout human history. Christ describes this Tribulation Period as a time that never was, has been or will be for humanity. It is spelled out in vivid detail the Book of Revelation.
The most popular eschatological interpretations of how long the Tribulation Period is narrowed down to 2 speculative time periods. One is the literal 7 Biblical Years (360 Days/Years) of 42 MONTHS (1260 DAYS) each or just one 42 MONTHS (1260 DAYS) period that is said to be picked up where the first half was fulfilled during Christ’s ministry on Earth.
This Book is the last Revelation directly from God to humanity. There is none other after it. It plainly states that the aim of all prophecy is to witness to Jesus Christ; any other so called prophet or revelation thereafter therefore does not come from the LORD. And it is a specific revelation of the LORD; that of one that exalts & magnifies Jesus as Christ, Savior, LORD, the Judge etc. Religions that have come after Christ’s witness have only sought to negate this as does islam & Mormonism for example.
Below is a summary of the catastrophic events that will pitch the forces of lucifer with his hell-bent religion against the true Followers of the Lamb, the Son of God, Jesus Christ. He is the LORD of Heaven & Earth with all power given until him, the Judge; The Restorer of Eden.
PRELUDE
After the Evaluation of the Churches by the Risen LORD Jesus Christ, the Apostle John is summoned or Raptured’ up to Heaven to witness the breaking of the 7-Fold Seal Judgments. These Seals will encompass the Wrath to GOD & of the Lamb against Christ’s enemies. There is a 7-7-7 pattern along with 33-33-33 or 1/3 portions of judgments throughout the Revelation that testifies to the glory of the Risen Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

The 2 Paths to Eternity
Since the serpent in the Garden & Cain murdering Abel, humanity has battled over who’s religious piety is to be accepted by ‘God’. Humanity goes either way. Individually, we are naturally at enmity against GOD or in a state of war. We are naturally full of hate, wrath and murder because we are sinners. We are born with the Way of Cain in our hearts. It is only by the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ that can enable us to have a new heart, a new humanity that replaces good for evil, light for darkness, life for death, love for hate, and forgiveness for revenge.
On which path are you on? There are only 2 paths, Christ came to tell us; the path of man-made religion that leads to death or Christ’s Highway of Holiness that leads to forgiveness of sins & eternal life? Christ’s path is narrow but by the grace of Christ, we have a choice now. We can freely choose eternal life in Christ Jesus alone.
1) Way of Cain: bent on murder, rage & intolerance due to jealousy on man’s terms
2) Way of Abel: approaching YhWh in worship prescribed on GOD’s terms
Over the course of human history, lucifer has used ‘religion’ to enslave & massacre GOD’s true Remnant; either by Holocausts, Inquisitions, burning Believers at the stake or by banning Bibles. Currently the world religion that still practices such policies is islam. May the LORD Jesus Christ hear the cries of His persecuted Saints at the hands of such evil men in the Middle East & the world at large. May Christ comfort the persecuted Church in the muslim world in this time of testing & purification. May Christ’s deliverance come soon.
How soon? Many are believing that the Rapture is to precede the Psalm 83 muslim evasion of Israel that is very soon to take shape. One clue is given from one translation of verse 3 of Psalm 83:
…They have taken crafty counsel against thy people[Israel], and consulted against thy hidden ones.
Perhaps the ‘Hidden Ones is referring to those of the Church Age Christians that will have been Raptured just right before this alliance of evil to be unleashed against Israel? We shall see.
