Awaken Bible Prophecy

Tribulation Woe: Midpoint Desecration is the third book in The Tribulation Chronicles. The first book was Tribulation Rising: Seal Judgments and the second book was Tribulation Terror: Trumpet Judgments.

Tribulation Terror: Trumpet Judgments is the sequel to Tribulation Rising: Seal Judgments. The world is in the midst of terrible events ever since the Great Disappearance that inexplicably removed millions of people from the earth. Horrific wars on every front worldwide led to famine and death on an unprecedented scale. But that was just the beginning as recounted in the first book of this series: The Tribulation Chronicles. The transcript for this audio commentary is available at my website blog under the post with the same title: https://garyritter.com/tribulation-terror-trumpet-judgments/ Gary Ritter website: books & blog http://garyritter.com/

Tribulation Rising came about through my responding to a writing challenge perhaps 6-7 years ago. I completed my story about the 3rd Seal, and about that time the people sponsoring the challenge went dark. The story then sat in my computer untouched.

To determine whether God’s Chosen People truly had faith in Him, the Lord allowed pagan nations to remain in the land of Canaan as the Exodus concluded so that the next generation of Israelites might experience war. Judges 1:1-2 tells us: Now these are the nations that the Lord left, to test Israel by them, that is, all in Israel who had not experienced all the wars in Canaan. It was only in order that the generations of the people of Israel might know war, to teach war to those who had not known it before. Why, we might ask, would God want to subject His children to the violence associated with war? What kind of a loving God would do that?

Aside from the folks who believe the Sethite version of Genesis 6:1-4, most of the rest of us have come to the realization that the sons of God (benai Elohim) the passage references really were sons of God. In other words, the supernatural interpretation of this text is the correct one. Any attempt to demythologize the verses and make the sons of God good and righteous men as descendants of Seth, and the daughters of man only Cain’s offspring – wicked women! – has far too many flaws to be considered proper hermeneutics.

The potential for the Rapture of the church to occur on the Jewish day of mourning known as Tisha B’Av, i.e. the 9th day of the month of Av, has become a topic of much interest lately among pre-Trib Rapture adherents. After reading a couple of well-written discussions on this subject, I figured I might as well accept the challenge and weigh in since I have a different perspective.

It’s fascinating that most of us who consider such things have inevitably thought of the person of the Antichrist as coming out of the ranks of the elites. Why would we do this?

How close are we to the 7-year Tribulation? Let me ask this: How can we not be right at its cusp? Three of the Gospels describe what will occur in the final days: the very end of this world as we know it and the run-up to the time when literally all hell breaks loose on this planet. If something is repeated twice in Scripture, God has said that it’s a sure thing. Joseph said that because Pharaoh’s dream was doubled and shown to him in two different versions (Genesis 41:32), nothing would stop its coming to pass. Since we have Mark 13, Matthew 24, and Luke 17 & 21 all showing us what Jesus Himself said would occur in these latter times, perhaps we should take note. Yet, incredibly, the church as a whole is asleep to the declaration from Jesus who – one would think – might pull some weight. But, no. Life goes on. The same messages are preached from the pulpit that were given ten, five, and even three years ago – not that they’re necessarily bad – however, in this day and age they simply lull the congregations to sleep.

One of the pieces of advice given by the church over the years is to not focus too much on Satan so as not to give him glory. That’s good up to a point. However, what I think that counsel has done is cause us to miss the works of Satan right in front of us.

Despite the failure of Rapture date setters in the past, many people continue to try to outwit the Lord by predicting when Jesus will come back for His true church to snatch us away into the clouds to be with Him forever. It hasn’t worked out well previously, and I predict it won’t work out for this current crop of know-it-alls.

Let’s consider the thesis that suggests America may in some manner be the “Babylon” referred to in the Bible’s last book. The two questions we need to explore briefly are: 1. Why could America be the target for the Revelation prophecy? 2. Why is it unlikely that our nation is the Babylon pointed to as being destroyed in one day, i.e. a single hour?

Sometimes I come across something another person has written and just wish I’d been smart enough to make the point myself. Barring that, the next best thing is to highlight the issue and give credit where it’s due. There are numerous, sound, doctrinal reasons for a Pre-Tribulation Rapture. I’ve previously discussed many of them in my writings and Awaken Bible Prophecy Update videos. I also did an audio series of twelve episodes of Rapture Readings earlier this year. What I want to relate today is from another blogger’s post written a couple years ago that I missed or didn’t appreciate when I was reading her series of articles on this subject.

One of the misunderstandings that some people have regarding the timing of the Rapture is to attribute the opening of the 5th Seal in the book of Revelation to this seminal event where Jesus comes in the clouds for His beloved. I think part of the reason for this confusion is a failure to take the 5th Seal in context with the first four Seal judgments.

Viruses have been with us a long time. They live in many different environments and can inhabit insects to humans. They are not parasites; typically they are predators. They seek out a host whereby they can replicate and spread, and most viruses don’t kill the creature they inhabit. There are those, however, which are so virile and toxic that they leave a trail of destruction wherever they go.

It’s easy for us to forget the astounding grace of God. We who live in America and are part of western civilization have been so blessed and – frankly – have lives that are generally free from true hardship, that we take for granted all that God has given us. What amazes me is that despite this, our culture is growing exceedingly dark because we’ve turned from God’s generous mercy. In doing this, we create our own sufferings.

Better Monkeypox than Smallpox. If we were talking about Smallpox right now, the situation – if accurate – would truly be horrifying for humanity. Few are saying it, but I will: The fact that Monkeypox is spreading to humans is because it has been engineered to do so with gain-of-function research. The book The Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston, which is primarily about Smallpox, details the efforts to first eradicate this terrible disease, then to find methods - believe it or not - of enhancing its virility. This book was written in 2002. Do you think that perhaps in twenty years, genetic researchers might have perfected their art, not only with Smallpox but with Monkeypox?

The latest crisis to clobber the American public is a purposeful shortage of baby formula. This, of course, is just one of many global supply chain problems – along with deliberate acts of sabotage – whether through physical harm to a production plant or by governmental action. In the case of baby formula shortages, the FDA appears to be a prime mover causing this issue. This is not a result of incompetence. It is all part of the intentional agenda to harm God’s best and most glorious creation – man – as evil continues manifesting within the human heart, egged on by Satan and his wicked minions.

Events over the last couple years, and those in recent weeks, illustrate the two most dangerous places on planet earth at this late hour before the Lord’s return for His beloved Bride. As the title of this article notes, these hazard zones are in women’s wombs and in hospitals.

One of the biggest mysteries in these latter days is who will emerge as the Antichrist and False Prophet. Because of the pre-Tribulation Rapture of true believers in Jesus Christ, we won’t be here to see how these positions are filled, but the intrigue swirls around those of us who study Bible prophecy. Others in the church exhibit an ignorance to it all, or conversely, an “I don’t care” attitude because “it’ll all pan out in the end.” I’ve touched on the possible identity of Antichrist previously in various writings and video Prophecy Updates, but here I want to present new candidates for these critical jobs as the world draws near to clamoring for them. We must have – as Jan Markell says – “a man with a plan” appear on the scene as a needed savior in the eyes of those left behind after God brings us home.

God works miracles. Why? What are they? What are they for? Can we demand or declare them? Is there any difference in how a large number of western churchgoers approach miracles versus those in Islamic nations? The one thing I will emphatically state is that I believe in miracles. The cessationists who declare that the gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased in the past are simply wrong. If they only opened their eyes to the move of God in the 10/40 Window, they would know how far from the truth they are.

Perhaps this article is a little self-serving, but I hope you’ll find my “coincidences” here of interest. Over the years I’ve written a number of books, first beginning my writing journey in the 1990s when I had not yet entered into a relationship with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. During that time, one of the books I wrote was called The Tattooed Cat after visiting a small town in Wisconsin with my wife. Frank Lloyd Wright had a home he called Taliesin in that community of Spring Green that also housed a school for aspiring architects. The somewhat quaint town itself and a particular church sparked my creative juices, and I proceeded to write my novel. One of the key components was that I happened to see a number of cats as we drove around.

Can we know the future? Need we fear it? Do we need a crystal ball to show what’s next? For Christians, the answers to these questions should be Yes – No – No. Yes, we can know what’s coming. No, God has repeatedly told us not to fear. No, the last thing we need is a New Age crutch. We have the sure Word of God. In Scripture, God has provided foreshadowings and templates though His prophetic Word to guide us into the knowledge and understanding of that which is to come.

Is there a correlation to upcoming events on the Jewish calendar and things which are happening in the world. Can we speculate with a possible high degree of certainty when the 7-year Tribulation will begin? This article addresses these issues and more!
