THE GREAT TRIBULATION FROM BEGINNING TO END.........
The Great Tribulation upon the whole world BEGINS the day that Satan is cast down to earth, and ENDS the day of the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ according to :
Revelation 12:12
"WOE TO the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! FOR THE DEVIL HAS COME DOWN UNTO YOU, having GREAT WRATH ( which causes Great Tribulation on earth ) , because he knows that HE HAS BUT A SHORT TIME."
How long is Satan's "SHORT TIME" of causing GREAT TRIBULATION ON EARTH ? The answer to that question is revealed to us in the following two Scriptures:
Revelation 12:14
".....where she is nourished FOR A TIME, TIMES, AND HALF A TIME FROM THE FACE OF THE SERPENT." The woman must be protected from THE PRESENCE OF SATAN on earth for 3 1/2 years .
AFTER Satan is cast down to earth for those 3 1/2 years, of Great Tribulation on earth, Satan brings forth his anti-Christ to accompany him for those same 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation according to the following Scriptures:
Revelation 13:1-8
"And I stood upon the sand of the sea , and saw A BEAST RISE UP OUT OF THE SEA..." ( This event happens AFTER Satan is cast down to earth for a period of 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation )
"and the dragon ( Satan ) gave him ( the anti-Christ ) his power, and his seat, and great authority..." ( there is no anti-Christ BEFORE Satan personally arrives on earth )
"and POWER WAS GIVEN to him TO CONTINUE FORTY AND TWO MONTHS" ( The anti-Christ CONTINUES AFTER he is given power from Satan, NOT AFTER a preceding forty-two months )
The opening of the Seventh Seal ( Rev 8:1 ) also BEGINS the forty-two month Great Tribulation upon the whole world , and describes God's seven trumpet judgments upon the earth from a heavenly perspective from beginning to end.
SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT:
The Great Tribulation on earth is for THE TOTAL PERIOD OF FORTY-TWO MONTHS from the day that Satan is cast down to earth UNTIL the Second Coming of the Lord ends it. At the time of His Second Coming Jesus will end the 3 1/2 YEARS or FORTY-TWO MONTHS of the Great tribulation on earth caused by the presence of Satan's wrath on earth. So, you see, IT IS A FALSE FABLE to believe that the Great Tribulation on earth is seven years in length . There IS NOT ONE single Scripture, in all of the Bible, to support THE FALSE FABLE of a seven- year long Great Tribulation.
According to Your Holy Word, come Lord Jesus !
