THE LORD'S GREAT TRIBULATION OF ISRAEL BEFORE THE RAPTURE.......
"And
it shall come to pass in ALL THE LAND ( of Israel), Says the Lord, That
two-thirds in it shall be cut-off and die, but ONE-THIRD SHALL BE LEFT
IN IT. I will bring the ONE-THIRD THROUGH THE FIRE, and refine them as
silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will CALL ON MY
NAME, and I will answer them; I will say, this is My people; and EACH
ONE WILL SAY, THE LORD IS MY GOD."
"Behold,
THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING, and your (Israel) spoil will be divided
in in your midst. For I WILL GATHER ALL THE NATIONS TO BATTLE AGAINST
JERUSALEM; The city shall be taken , the houses rifled, and the women
ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, BUT THE REMNANT OF
THE PEOPLE shall not be cut-off from the city. . THEN THE LORD WILL GO
FORTH AND FIGHT AGAINST THOSE NATIONS."
"And
unless those days (of great tribulation ) were shortened, no
(Jewish) flesh would be saved, but for the (Jewish) elect's sake those
days will be cut short."
After
the Lord Jesus brings the nations against Israel as His vengeance of
great tribulation upon Israel BEFORE THE RAPTURE, He will THEN DESTROY
THOSE SAME NATIONS.
