Tribulation Name Explained

The Tribulation Period received the name from the Olivet Discourse where Jesus Christ speaks about "great distress" that is unequaled anytime in all of history.   The triggering point is "the abomination that causes desolation"  which is the Abomination of Desolation event.  Before the Tribulation Period begins there is 3.5 years of a False Peace where Jesus Christ returns before the False Peace begins in the first of the two Second Comings at the Rapture Event that no one knows the day or hour.  The second of the two Second Comings is that the end of the Tribulation Period which is first Armageddon Event.
 
Matthew 24:36-38 36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
Matthew 24:15-21 15 So when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel let the reader understand 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again.

Preface

The Tribulation Period, as read in the Book of Revelation, contains many identities and codes, along with encryptions, that have references to other places in the Bible.  The Book of Revelation is a summary of the end-times of the Earth which can be described analogous to an ending to a exciting, wonderful and glorifying book that is for God's Glory.  God the Hero wins, and all of us from the Old and New Testament periods that have Salvation win with God, and evil loses!  

The Tribulation Period is most likely a very well-known identified period of time in the future, by many people who that are not even Christians, where general knowledge is the time period is dealing with:

  1. Judgments against specific people and Fallen Angels on the Earth. 
  2. Protection and deliverance of a remnant of Israel where they will recognize their Savior Jesus Christ.
  3. Great multitudes of people will be accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior which may result in martyrdom to their glory with rewards in Heaven.
  4. A conclusion with an Armageddon event and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

The Tribulation Period is sometimes confused as a period of seven years, where the scripture accurately defines the period as the second half of a seven-year period described in the Book of Daniel's 70th week prophecy. 

There are specific prophecies concerning the first half and the second half, of the seven-year period, where the second half is the Tribulation Period.  The second half is also known as Jacob's trouble according to Jeremiah 30:7.  Jacob is the patriarch of the nation of Israel with twelve tribes.  In Genesis 32:28, Jacob's name is changed by God to Israel. 

When the scriptures use Jacob instead of Israel this means it is time when the person or the nation is not doing as God would have wanted.  In the Tribulation Period, the nation of Israel is destined to recognized their Savior Jesus Christ which is one of the primary purposes of the Tribulation Period, and without the nation of Israel recognizing Jesus Christ, would then stop Jesus Christ from returning as part of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to end the Tribulation Period.

Genesis 32:28 The man said, From now on, your name will no longer be Jacob. You will be called Israel, because you have wrestled with God and with men, and you have won.
Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
Isaiah 28:18
Antichrist's covenant
Then your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; when the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be beaten down by it.

Contrary to popular non-scriptural based Christian beliefs, often seen in movies, the Antichrist under Lucifer never has control of the entire planet Earth.  The Antichrist control is only over the areas of the ancient Roman Empire which had other areas besides Europe.  There will be areas on the Earth that have allegiance to the Antichrist, but they are not under the full governing power that the Antichrist will exercise.  As an example of one part of the world, that is not under the control of the Antichrist, is the area of the Kings of the East that are controlled by Fallen Angels, which were released from a prison set by God that is identified as near the river Euphrates.  The Kings of the East have a mission and will have an army that will march to war against the Antichrist, but later will join with the Antichrist's army to oppose Jesus Christ at the first of two scriptural Armageddon events.

The effects of the judgments of God, discussed below during the Tribulation Period, do affect the entire planet Earth and are horrible against all people who have rejected Jesus Christ, where one of the final acts of God is the "Bowl of Wrath into the Air", which the Fallen Angels will receive the Wrath of God.

Most importantly, despite all of the suffering and Godly Judgments against the entire Earth, there will be a countless number of people, along with children under the Age of Accountability, receiving Salvation.  As stated and explained further in the "The Two Thirds Good News" section of this topic:  In previous times in history, people could go through their entire lives with the possibility of ignoring God.  In the Tribulation Period, unlike any other time in history, there is not going to be any neutral place to live without making a choice to accept or reject Jesus Christ, which will result in great numbers of people receiving Salvation

The people who reject Jesus Christ are choosing:

Accepting the Antichrist as god will result in receiving the Mark of the Beast, and the person is immediately given over to the Great Lie.

Summary

The primary four purposes of the Tribulation Period are:

  1. Israel to recognize their Savior.  Israel's, as a nation, blindness will be lifted.
    Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.
    John 19:37 And again another Scripture says, "THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED. (This has dual prophecies.)
    Matthew 23:37-39 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! 38 See, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
  2. Bring an end of the ruling of planet earth by Lucifer, which Jesus Christ paid the price on the Cross but hasn't taken possession.  Note that when Jesus Christ was tempted in the desert by Lucifer for forty days and nights, in order for the temptation and offer to be real meant that Lucifer did own, control had possession of the nations of the world as read in Matthew 4:8-9.  Lucifer was also giving Jesus Christ another path to avoid the Cross, which also meant that Lucifer could avoid the final judgment against himself.
    Matthew 4:8-9 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.
  3. To have very great numbers of people from every nation accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, where many will lose their life under the persecution from the Satanic World that includes the areas that the Antichrist is ruling.  Everyone that suffers and even dies for the testimony of Jesus Christ will receive rewards in Heaven.
  4. To prepare those who will survive the Tribulation Period, from Israel and other Nations, to repopulate the Earth when entering into the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

As already mentioned, the Antichrist will rule in the areas of the ancient Roman Empire, but will have an influence in many areas of the Earth, while never having control of the whole Earth.  Some Biblical Scholars have pointed out there is the goal by Lucifer and the Fallen Angels to actually cause Nations to war amongst each other to cause human beings to suffer and die rather than uniting for reasons discussed further in this topic. 

There also appears to be derision between Lucifer's Fallen Angels where four Fallen Angels, currently prisoners near the river Euphrates, will be part of the reason the Armageddon event occurs as discussed in the Kings of the East topic.  The ending of the Tribulation Period, will occur with Jesus Christ's Second Coming.  This will start the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ.  The Millennial Kingdom is an amazing and beautiful time where Jesus Christ will sit on the Throne of David in Jerusalem.

The Tribulation Period is a period of time with great calamities and death which God has four main purposes pointed out above.  If the Tribulation Period lasted any longer than the 3.5 years, then there would be no one alive.  This reflects the devastation that comes on the world, which is why God gives everyone the warnings and details in advance.

Matthew 24:22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

Should Christians Worry?

The most important two points to know as a Christian are:

Back in the mid-1980s, there was a wonderful and popular book that came out from Hilton Sutton entitled "Revelation : God's Grand Finale", where this author uses the title at the start of this topic.  This book, by Hilton Sutton, was one of many books that began to open up the minds of people on the Tribulation Period purpose and reasons.  Hilton Sutton made the wonderful point in this book, that this is "the last chapter of a great book, where the hero wins and we win with Him". 

If you are a Christian by name only with no relationship, then make sure you know of your identity with Jesus Christ.  Simply ask Jesus Christ to be your Savior in a heartfelt genuine manner.  In the United States, there is an old expression that is not heard too often anymore which is "Just because you are an American doesn't make you a Patriot.", which is meant derogatorily against those who have no country loyalty, and unfortunately applies to many people who attend Church for various reasons that do not include the reason of loving God because of what Jesus Christ did on the Cross

None of us are capable of living perfect lives that illuminate the Holy Spirit's purpose in our lives, but our relationship with Jesus Christ will make our lives richer, rewarding, fruitful, worth living and we will know He is in our life.  It is also very important to have the knowledge that our lives are meant for a purpose that glorifies God where we earn eternal Rewards in Heaven.

For those going through horrible circumstances in our present-day lives, the concepts of suffering and experiencing a fear in the future times of the Tribulation period in many people's is not imaginable. This author recalls hearing someone speaking about their recollections of living in the areas of warfare during World War II, also known as the Great War that can be used as a lesser reference.  

None of us alive today can imagine the experience of an army tank driving through our home and shooting everyone in sight that includes your mother, father, brothers and sisters.  There are and were people who experienced other types of horrific tragedies at the hands of gangs in neighborhoods, thieves breaking into someone's home to steal anything of value, and seeing the raping and tortures of family members. 

Those types of evil should give us a perspective in all of our present-day troubles where God was and is there for those who trusted Him even in war.  Knowing that the purpose of God's Great Love for us is to rescue us from the consequences of Lucifer's rebellion and human-being's separation from God will give us peace in the midst of any suffering even unto death.  

When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, then we are permanently marked to spend eternity in perfect love and fulfillment with God, that all experiences in our earthly lives will be used for our benefits in Rewards in Heaven.  We will not necessarily understand now in our earthly lives why events are happening, but when we are acting righteously in faith of God no matter any of the circumstances effecting our lives, then we will be overcoming victorious people with rewards set for us in Heaven.

Two Halves of the Prophet Daniel's 70th Week

As stated at the start of this topic on the Tribulation Period, there are two halves to the seven-year period described in the Book of Daniel, which is known as the 70th week in Daniel.  The second half is also known as Jacob's trouble according to Jeremiah 30:7

Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

As detailed in the 70th week in Daniel topic, the week is a period seven years, where the period is divided into two halves of 3.5 years, which is 1260 days and 1260 days.  God in all of the prophecies in the Bible uses 30 day months of 360 day years.

  Period of 7 Years Months Days in Month Total Days
False Peace Period Year 1 12 30 360
Year 2 12 30 360
Year 3 12 30 360
Half Year 6 30 180
      Total 1260
         
Tribulation Period Half Year 6 30 180
Year 5 12 30 360
Year 6 12 30 360
Year 7 12 30 360
      Total 1260
         
    Total of 7 years 2520

Note that this First Half occurs after a period of time that the Earth experienced a short war that is called the first Gog and Magog Event which was preceded by the Rapture.  Many Biblical Scholars, which this author agrees, state that the Antichrist comes into power because of the aftermath of the Gog and Magog event where many nations are frightened and the Antichrist will give them a False Peace by unifying many nations.

Below is a summary of some of the main points of the two periods:

  1. In the First Half, the world is doing well in what is called a False Peace, which will be like the times of Noah, before the Great Flood.
    (a) The Antichrist, with his great skills of negotiations and speeches that were given to him from Lucifer, will have the world's nations and religions in a state of harmony and hopeful of a great future. 
    (b) According to many Biblical Scholars theories, there will be a new unified religion that merges the Muslim, Christian and some other Faiths into a new amalgamation, that the Antichrist will eventually proclaim himself as the leader. An interesting point about the possibility of a new World Religion shows us that many people belong to religions for purposes of networking and politics with the belief that there are many ways to connect to a deity that is NOT the true God of the Bible.
    (c) People will be happy and the world will be prospering and unaware of the pending judgments from God coming soon.
    Luke 17:26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
    (d) The True Christians will have been Raptured, and the world will be given an explanation for their disappearance, as part of the Great Lie of 2 Thessalonians 1:11, that some Biblical Scholars believe it will be linked:
    (d.1) with the Nephilim masquerading as visitors from other planets that are here to save Earth and the bad Christians were removed.  (This is a very high-level summary explanation.)
    (d.2) an elimination of groups of people that are taken away to prisons, encampments or died from a pandemic virus that required removing carriers by the government.
     

  2. In the Second Half, the world receives increasingly punitive, painful, devastating, and death causing judgments.
    (a) The Antichrist exalts himself as god, at the Abomination of Desolation Event, and immediately destroys the false peace of the first 3.5 years of the tribulation period.
    Daniel 8:23-25 23  In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise. 24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people. 25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
    2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 3 Don t let anyone trick you in any way. That day will not come until people rise up against God. It will not come until the man of sin appears. He is a marked man. He is headed for ruin. He will oppose everything that is called God. He will oppose everything that is worshiped. He will give himself power over everything. He will set himself up in God s temple. He will announce that he himself is God.
    2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 7 The secret power of sin is already at work. But the one who now holds back that power will keep doing it until he is taken out of the way. Then the man of sin will appear. The Lord Jesus will overthrow him with the breath of his mouth. The glorious brightness of Jesus coming will destroy the man of sin. The coming of the man of sin will fit how Satan works. The man of sin will show his power through all kinds of signs and wonders. These signs and wonders will lead people astray. 10 So people who are dying will be fooled by this evil. These people are dying because they refuse to love the truth. The truth would save them. 11 So God will fool them completely. Then they will believe the lie. 12 Many will not believe the truth. They will take pleasure in evil. They will be judged.
    (b) The Antichrist will not have absolute control of the whole world, otherwise there would be no Christians surviving the period to populate the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ.  There are four Fallen Angels that are currently in chains at the Great River Euphrates who will drive an army against the Antichrist that comes from the Kings of the East.  
    An excerpt from the Mark of the Beast topic:

    From Revelation 13:7-10, the uniqueness of the time period of the Antichrist is because it is the only time in the history of God's protection for Christians does not stop Satanic Forces from killing and martyring all the Christians they can find.  Many Biblical Commentaries point out that this is partially because people should have recognized the events happening on the Earth that was leading up to the 70th Week of Daniel and therefore accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior so that this horrible period of the Tribulation Period could have been avoided.  

    The "All inhabitants of the earth", in Revelation 13:8 is rendered differently in several Bible Versions, where several Biblical Commentaries note that the meaning intent is the people on Earth who consider their home as the Earth.  All Christians are sojourners, who consider their home is in Heaven as referenced in over 35 scriptural passages.

    Those people, who have the Mark of the Beast and kill others, regardless if they are Christians, will be killed in the same manner according to Revelation 13:10.  This shows that God will still be controlling limits to events and His Plans which will have judgment on murders to be killed in the same way they murdered others. 

    Revelation 9:13-16 13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God. 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.
    Revelation 13:7-10 7 It was given power to wage war against God s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast all whose names have not been written in the Lamb s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear. 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed." This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God s people.
    (c) The regions that are not under the control of the Antichrist are still under judgment from God.
    (d) The world will experience ever increase judgments from God detailed below.
    (e) A remnant of Israel will flee to Petra, modern day part of Jordan, where they will remain protected during the entire time of the last 3.5 years of the Tribulation Period.  They are instructed by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:15 when they see the Abomination of Desolation occur, to flee into the mountains in Judea.

    Mathew 24:15-18 15 "Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 17 "Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. 18 "Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.
    Matthew 24:21 "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.

    (f) According to some Biblical Scholars, the Nephilim are revealed as part of Daniel vision and prophecy in Daniel 2:41-43.  It is this prophecy, which some Biblical Scholars including this author believe, will most likely be a revealing of fake Extraterrestrial Beings (E.T.s), which are really the Nephilim.   They will masquerade as visitors from other places in the universe with a message that there is no god or there is a god not known by people on Earth.  This masquerade will be part of the Great Lie to lead the Earth's Rulers contemplating a war against a false god, not knowing it is the True God as described in the dual meaning of Psalm 2.

For the Christian, we are not on Earth during this time.  Consider a few points of information:

The Event that Starts the Tribulation Period

In the scripture reference, of Daniel 9:27 as discussed in the 70th Week of Daniel topic shown below, the reference of the "seven" is one period of seven years.  Notice in verse 27, that the "he" is a reference to the future son of perdition who will proclaim himself as god in an Abomination of Desolation event.  This is the start of the Tribulation Period which is a period of 3.5 years and is the second half of the seven year period of Daniel 9:27. 

This event, written in the scriptures, is how Biblical Scholars have stated that the Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt, were currently there is no Temple.  There must be a Temple in Jerusalem for the Antichrist to commit the Abomination of Desolation event

Daniel 9:24-27 24 Seventy sevens are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place. 25 Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven sevens, and sixty-two sevens. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two sevens, the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. In the middle of the seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.

The people alive on the Earth, at that time who have Salvation before the 70th Week of Daniel begins will be Raptured.  The Tribulation Purpose has many purposes, where the primary purpose is for Israel to recognize their Messiah.

There is a key scriptural passage for all Jewish people living in Israel to know when the Tribulation Period starts, which is the second half of the 70th Week of Daniel. In Matthew 24:15-22, Jesus Christ is speaking about an event that is command for those to obey and flee to the mountains.

Matthew 24:15-22

Jesus Christ speaking
15 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand), 16 then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 17 let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house: 18 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. 19 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! 20 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath: 21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect s sake those days shall be shortened.

The fate of Jewish people and Israel is discussed further down in this topic in the section "Remnant of Israel is Hidden for 3.5 Years".

Chronological Timeline of Events

Before the 70th Week of Daniel (Before the 7 Year Period)

Before the seven year period of Daniel's 70th Week begins:

First 3.5 years

The first three years and six months of the 70th Week of Daniel Period is a period of solidifying the power of the Antichrist.  After the failed First Gog and Magog event the World is looking for a peace so that never again the World's countries will attack other countries and use nuclear types of missiles and bombs.  This is one of the catalysts to the Antichrist coming into power by gaining power through promising peace in the World, which is the False Peace described in the scriptures.

The Antichrist will begin with the setup of a false peace and an attempt to consolidated his power in as many nations as possible, which will eventually only contain nations in the geographical areas of the ancient Roman Empire.  Note that the Roman Empire was not just countries in Europe as it also included country areas of the Middle East and Northern Africa.

There are many areas that are not under the control of the Antichrist, which he desires that he will not be able to get any control:

Witness of God to the World

During the whole seven years of the 70th week of Daniel, God is absolutely present and witnessing to the world that Salvation is still available.  There will be many methods that God will use to reach the world, such as:

Judgments Against the World

In Revelation chapters 4 and 5 there are four key events:

  1. The Church has been caught up, taken out of the world, which is the Rapture event. 
  2. There is a wonderful scene of the throne room of God.
  3. There is identification of the 24 Elders.
  4. Jesus Christ receives the book with 7 seals.

After these four events the following judgments, identifications and righteous events occur.  Note that the following table list is a high-level summary based on the Chapters of 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15 and 16 of the Book of Revelation.  Some additional points before reviewing the table list below:

Note that the battle of Armageddon will end up being an attempt by Lucifer to have the Earth's armies fight against God, as noted in the Psalm 2 corroboration.  The armies initially arrive at Armageddon to fight one another, but change their goal in cooperating with another to fight the True God.  In order for the Earth's armies to attempt this fight then they have to be deceived that they are fighting against something else other than God.  The possibilities of how and why are discussed in the topic on Reincarnation.

A interesting point is Josephus recorded the Roman Catapults threw stones on the city of Jerusalem in the 70 AD siege that were the weight of a talent.  A talent's weight is 33 kg or 72 lbs.  A judgment of meteorites will occur during the Gog and Magog event and as part of the 6th Seal Judgment.  Stoning to death is the penalty for many of the Old Testament sins which includes blasphemy of God.

Link with Rev 9:3
Thus has the Lord God shewed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.

Jewish Death in the World

Biblical Scholars point to Zechariah 13:8 as prophetic about the Tribulation Period where 2/3 of Israel will be wiped out in the last and worst Jewish Holocaust at the hands of the Antichrist.  The 1/3 of Israel that are left alive will go into the Millennial Kingdom period as saved believers in Jesus Christ that will repopulate the Earth along with people from every other place on Earth that survived the Tribulation Period.

Zechariah 13:8 In the whole land, declares the LORD, two thirds shall be cut off and perish, and one third shall be left alive.

According to a few different Biblical Scholars, the world will also lose 2/3 of the population.  This figure does not mean that 2/3 of the world will be condemned and face the Lake of Fire after their death.  This 2/3 estimate includes:

Daniel's 70th week prophecy has many purposes and one is for the Glory of God which means God will still be harvesting many people unto Salvation in the Tribulation Period.

Of the population that is left alive at the end of the Tribulation Period, there are two groups:

  1. There will be those alive who rejected God but didn't not die during the Seven Seal Judgments.
  2. There will be those alive who accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and were not killed by those who rejected the True God.

The judgment at the end of the Tribulation Period is called the Sheep and Goat Judgment where those who have righteousness by Faith in Jesus Christ will also go into the Millennial Kingdom period.  Those who did not have Jesus Christ as their Savior will go Lower Sheol to await the Great White Thrown of Judgment.

Matthew 25:31
(sheep and goat judgment)
But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.

The One Thirds Righteous Judgment Meaning

As pointed out at the start of this topic, God uses numerical identifications and encryptions throughout the Old and New Testament, which authenticates the source of 66 Books, by over 40 authors and many centuries, having the same themes, messages and source of the Holy Spirit. 

When we are reading the Book of Revelation judgments, there is a value of "1/3 ~ one third" used repeatedly as indication of how many deaths and destruction are occurring in the Seven Seals Judgments.  Other than Revelation 6:4, which deals with "1/4 ~ 25%", all the remaining are "1/3 - one third ~ 33%".

There are two question that can be asked:

  1. Is the pattern accidental or to serve a purpose that God is attending for all of us to recognize? 
  2. Does the value of "1/3 - one third ~ 33%", mean God is sending an additional facet to the judgment which matches something done by Lucifer?

To reemphasize the point of patterns, the book of Revelation is replete with patterns and groups of sevens that cannot be counted as noted by many Biblical Scholars who have tried counting such as Ivan Panin.  There is an inexhaustible list of patterns of sevens in the Book of Revelation. 

In this author's opinion, that I have not read in any Biblical Commentary, the "1/3 - one third ~ 33%" pattern is also a mark from the Holy Spirit for the reader to know that was how many Lucifer deceived of the Angels in Heaven to rebel against God because of a deception done by Lucifer.  The 1/3 has a meaning of judgment with the losses shown in the table list below, which will also be used as evidence of the far-reaching ramifications from Lucifer and the Fallen Angel's rebellion when they are judged at the Great White Thrown of Judgment.

There are many people entering the Tribulation Period, other than those under the Age of Accountability, that have refused to recognize and ask Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.  Biblical Scholars have pointed out the many scriptures, such as Matthew 24:14, which state the Tribulation Period will not occur until many predecessor conditions have occurred that include the entire world hearing of Jesus Christ.  This gives Glory to God for not having the Tribulation Period start until everyone knows of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.

The choice to not listen and not ask Jesus Christ as a person's Savior is the same thing as rejecting Jesus Christ.  Therefore, adults going into the Tribulation Period are all condemned, but to God's Glory there is still an opportunity to receive Salvation.

Before Genesis 1:2 occurred and the Garden of Eden did not exist, there was war in Heaven which Lucifer started a rebellion.  During the rebellion, there was 1/3 of the Angels that rebelled with Lucifer as noted in Revelation 12:4.  The Stars of Heaven are the Angels.

Revelation 12:3-4 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.

It is the opinion of this author, that I haven't seen in any other Biblical Commentaries, that God has chosen / allowed "1/3 - one third ~ 33%" as an number of punitive consequences because that is the number of Angels that were deceived by Lucifer and rebelled.  Lucifer and the Fallen Angels will recognize this 33% percentage judgment as matching their evil percentage.  

Note that it is the belief of this author that part of the suffering in the Lake of Fire will contain remorse, even for Lucifer and Fallen Angels, that they will hold themselves accountable for evil with realization of perfect judgment against them from God.  Recall that Lucifer, who possessed the Disciple Judas Iscariot, had Judas recognize that Judas betrayed innocent blood in the turning over of Jesus Christ to be Crucified.

Matthew 27:3-4 3 When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders. 4 I have sinned by betraying innocent blood, he said. What is that to us? they replied. You bear the responsibility.

The Two Thirds Good News

The Good News, is during the Tribulation Period, there will be countless numbers of people who will recognize and ask Jesus Christ to be their personal Savior.

There have been several Biblical Scholars, such as Walter Martin, who have stated that they believe during the Tribulation Period there will be more people receiving Salvation than all of the other prior periods of history.  Additionally, there will be more people receiving Salvation from China, with its dense population of people, than any other place on the Earth.  God will not let the Four Fallen Angels, leading the Kings of the East countries to have any complete / full victory over all the people in the countries that are part of the Kings of the East.

The following table chart below represents a beautiful scenario that this author remembers hearing something to this effect around 1984 while attending a Hilton Sutton speaking event.  Paraphrased by this author, these were the additional points that Hilton Sutton was making concerning the Tribulation Period before reading the table chart:

  1. In previous times in history, people could go through their entire lives with the possibility of ignoring God.  In the Tribulation Period, unlike any other time in history, there is not going to be any neutral place to live without making a choice to accept or reject Jesus Christ, which will result in great numbers of people receiving Salvation.
    (a) This is confirmed by many scriptures, where the Seals of Judgment will also force a decision of every single person. 
    (b) Those under the Age of Accountability who will receive Salvation by God's Glory and God's providence.
     

  2. During the Tribulation Period, many people will curse, reject and hate anything dealing with Jesus Christ even though they do not necessarily believe in Jesus Christ as they are expressing their suffering toward anything and everything that their self-inflicted misguided thoughts can imagine.
    (a) A purposeful rejection of Jesus Christ, during the Tribulation period, will lead to being given over to the Great Lie.  When God uses the witnessing methods discussed above, then there is still hope for someone's Salvation, unless they have received the Mark of the Beast. 
    (b) Accepting the Mark of the Beast will have the person killed most likely by one of the Seven Seal Judgments.  Note, as stated in this topic, there are many areas of the Earth where there was no option to accept the Mark of the Beast, but there will be people who will reject Jesus Christ without changing their decision until the very end of the Tribulation Period.
     
  3. Lucifer never has full control of Earth through his Antichrist ruling the Roman Empire rebuilt.  There will be many places in the world where people can still live, with underground economies based on bartering, cash and possibly crypto currencies, where life will be extremely treacherous but sill livable.
     
  4. The Table Chart uses rounded up numbers from published world-wide 2021 population numbers to help with coming up with an estimation of the future period possibilities.  The theoretical formulas are using the Biblical Scriptures as reference which shows the theory that roughly 2/3 (approximately 66%) of the planet will hopefully receive Salvation during the Tribulation Period, which is amazing good news that gives glory to God! 

Additionally, to help us with coming up with the good news, the following points were used:

  1. The numbers below are theoretical and are using an estimate population of the Earth after the Rapture event.
  2. As stated above, unlike any other time in history, there is no neutral place to live without making a choice to ask Jesus Christ to be their personal Savior.
  3. As stated in the previous section of this topic's scriptural listing, there will a judgment against 1/3 the world who will be killed by famine, disease, murder, and war. 
  4. The Kings of the East will bring 200,000,000 military personnel to the Armageddon Event, who will have the destiny of the Lake of Fire that will be murdering along their pathways to Armageddon.
  5. There will be the Antichrist's military that will be at the Armageddon Event, who will have the destiny of the Lake of Fire.
  6. There will be an army coming from African countries to go against Israel, who will have the destiny of the Lake of Fire.
  7. There will most likely be 9 out 10 people killed for accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior.
    (a) Of the 9 out of 10, there will millions upon millions of children and others under the Age of Accountability who receive Salvation even though they are killed.
    (b) The ministry of the 144,000 Jewish Virgin men will reach the world with amazing Godly results.
    (c) There will be Angels witnessing to the World for Jesus Christ.
    (d) There will be the Two Witnesses, who cannot be martyred until 3.5 days before the end of the Tribulation Period, who will witness to the World and be a constant irritation to the Antichrist
    (e) The Seven Seal Judgments will witness to the World.
    (f) The Holy Spirit will be active in all Salvation events!
  8. There will be small percentage of the people, who accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, who are not killed.  These people, that includes the remnant of Israel, will repopulate the Earth during the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ
    (a) The remnant of Israel will be 1/3 of the original population of Jewish People around the Earth.   See Zechariah 13:8, which is also listed above.

Remnant of Israel is Hidden for 3.5 Years

As stated above in this topic, there is a key scriptural passage for all Jewish people living in Israel to know before the Tribulation Period starts, which is the second half of the 70th Week of Daniel. In Matthew 24:15-22, Jesus Christ is speaking about an event where He gives the command for those to obey it by fleeing to the mountains without stopping to get any clothes or provisions.
 
Matthew 24:15-22

Jesus Christ speaking
15 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand), 16 then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 17 let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house: 18 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. 19 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! 20 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a Sabbath: 21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect s sake those days shall be shortened.

Points of the Matthew 24:15-22 passage:

  1. Jewish people, in the country of Israel, will have the ability to see or hear about the Abomination of Desolation event as it is happening, and will hear about it from others very quickly according to the meaning of Matthew 24:15-22.  Prior to the advent of world-wide television, Internet, Texting, Satellite and Radio broadcasting, the question by Biblical Scholars of the past, was how could people know when the Abomination of Desolation event occurs?  This prophecy by Jesus Christ let us know that God (with no surprise) knew about world-wide broadcasting from many methods.
  2. The Jewish people in Israel (Judea) are to flee immediately into the Mountains. 
  3. The Great Tribulation period will begin at this event.
  4. The Abomination of Desolation event is how Biblical Scholars have pointed out that the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt in the future.

Those of Israel, that flee to the mountains, will be taken care of by God as read in Revelation 12:1-6 and Revelation 12:13-14, for 3.5 years.  Note that "thousand two hundred and threescore days" is 3.5 years, and "a time, and times, and half a time" is also 3.5 years.

Revelation 12:1-6 1 And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; 2 and she was with child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. 3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. 4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. 5 And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Revelation 12:13-14 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child. 14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

These are the key points of the two Revelation passages:

  1. The woman is symbolical, where she appears as a sign in Heaven, which is identified by other scriptures and events in history as Israel.
  2. Because of the crown of twelve stars, on the woman, the stars are a reference to the Twelve Tribes of Israel
  3. The red dragon, without any confusion, is Lucifer who takes 1/3 of the Angels with him in a deception that results in Lucifer being cast down to the realm of the Earth.
  4. The Child born is a Son, who is to rule all nations, which clearly is a reference to Jesus Christ.
  5. The reference in Genesis 37:9 is one of many scriptures that link a description of celestial objects being the man Israel and the Nation of Israel created from the Twelve Tribes of Israel.   The scriptures never mix metaphors, figures of speech and analogies. 
Genesis 37:5-11 5 Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more 6 He said to them, Please listen to this dream which I have had; 7 for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf rose up and also stood erect; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf. 8 Then his brothers said to him, Are you actually going to reign over us? Or are you really going to rule over us? So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. 9 Now he had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, Lo, I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me. 10 He related it to his father and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, What is this dream that you have had? Shall I and your mother and your brothers actually come to bow ourselves down before you to the ground? 11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

As noted above in the scriptural passage of Zechariah 13:8-9, there will 2/3 of Jewish people in the world killed by the forces of the Antichrist.  We do not know how many of these 2/3 have Salvation, but the preponderance of scripture leads us to know that God will not give glory to Lucifer and the Antichrist on any victories for those God has preordained for Salvation.

Zechariah 13:8-9 8 In the whole land, declares the LORD, two thirds shall be cut off and perish, and one third shall be left alive. 9 And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.

Israel Fleeing from the Antichrist points:

  1. The scriptures do not inform the reader the exact location in the mountains where the ruminant of Israel will flee, but the general area is given.
  2. There is a theory by many Biblical Scholars that the ruminant will flee to Petra based on historical events and the scriptural inferences.  Note that the historical events are not covered in this topic, but this author may write of them at a later point.
  3. The area location is identified in Daniel 11:41 is approximately modern-day Jordan as this is the area of ancient Edom, Moab, and Ammon. 
  4. Some Biblical Scholars have the belief, as does this author, that the fleeing ruminant will be praying Psalm 60:9-12.
Daniel 11:41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land [Israel], and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon.
Psalm 60:9-12 9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom? 10 Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. 11 Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. 12  Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

Other information to consider:

Israel's military will be neutralized by the Antichrist before the Abomination of Desolation event. 

Israel's military power 2021 Active Military Reserve Military Paramilitary Total
Israel 169,500 465,000 8,000 642,500

Using rounded numbers of the population of Israel as of 2021, the following chart lists the theatrical numbers of those killed by the Antichrist and those who survive either in Jordan (Petra) or somewhere else on the Earth.  The 144,000 Jewish Evangelists are marked by God so they cannot be harmed.

Using the estimated number of Jewish people, with 2021 numbers, those surviving the Tribulation Period is an approximate 2,462,640 Jewish people.  These people will be protected and hidden from the Antichrist according to Daniel 11:41 (verse listed above)This will take a fairly large area of the mountains which the theoretical location of Petra could hold the remnant of Israel.  The location of Petra is described as having:

How to Know Daniel's 70th Week hasn't Started

This is an excerpt from the 70th Week of Daniel topic:

There is unfortunately some Christians who are questioning whether or not we are in the 70th Week of Daniel, which is the Seven Years divided in two have of 3.5 years.  The first 3.5 years is peace, and then the Tribulation Period in the last 3.5 years. 

Unquestionably, we are not in the 70th Week of Daniel because there is no peace in Israel.  According to Daniel 9:27, the Antichrist will make a covenant that is broken at the Abomination of Desolation event, at the half way point of the seven years.  The first 3.5 years before the Abomination of Desolation event are a time that Israel will be living in peace with "land of unwalled villages" according to the prophecy concerning the Antichrist in Ezekiel 38:10-13.

Daniel 9:27

Oblation is Temple sacrifices

And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate.
Ezekiel 38:10-13 10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt devise an evil device: 11 and thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates; 12 to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn thy hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations, that have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the earth. 13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take the spoil? hast thou assembled thy company to take the prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil?

Today, Israel has walls and barriers that separate and protect themselves from militant Muslim groups.  On a routine basis, different Muslim terrorist groups are firing rockets at Israel and attempting all kinds of disruptive and murderous actives.

The End of the Tribulation Period

The ending of the tribulation is exactly on the final day of the seven-year period.  The last event is the armies of the Antichrist, Kings of the East and the African military waiting in the valley of Armageddon to fight against God, as also described in Psalm 2
  1. The Beast and the False Prophet, that are the Antichrist, are cast alive into the Lake of Fire.
  2. Every one of the military personnel at the Armageddon event are killed instantly by the Word of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 19:19-21 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone: 21 and the rest were killed with the sword of Him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Note: God exists outside of all Time DomainsTime is a physical property based on acceleration, gravity, and mass.  Events can happen in Heaven with no time passing on Earth.  The next two events after the Tribulation Period is completed:

  1. Wedding Supper of the Lamb Celebration
  2. Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ begins.

1290 Days and 1335 Days of Daniel 12:11-12

The following is an excerpt from the 70 Week of Daniel Topic:

At the end of the Book of Daniel, there are two remarkable verses that there is no agreement between Biblical Scholars on what the day references mean.  The Angel Gabriel is giving an additional prophecy to Daniel start in Daniel 12:1-3 dealing with the end-times, where the unknown verses are in verse 11 and 12.
 

Daniel 12:11-12 11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

When Daniel was writing the verses, there is the remarkable acknowledgment that Daniel did not know what the verses meant as indicated in Daniel 12:8.

In the verse of Daniel 12:4, the "words" (which is meant to be the Word of God ~ scriptures) is dealing with the prophecy that is about to be given which is:

  • Sealed until the proper time in the future, and
  • Knowledge of the "word", which is implies the scriptures, will be increased as many Biblical Scholars have been noting.
Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.
Daniel 12:8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, My lord, what shall be the end of these things?

Interestingly, in the verse 5 and 6 of Daniel 12 (shown below), then Daniel sees two other men standing across from one another on a river.  Each was on the opposing riverbank.  One of the two of the two men asks the question "How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?"  Note that it is important to notice that these two men were not identified to be Daniel and not the Angel Gabriel

Speculation and a theory by this author is:

  • Because the two men were clothed in linen, is a possible hint or clue, that they are men that have died already with Salvation which God is using to deliver the message.
  • The two men might be Moses and Elijah, who were also called to meet with Jesus Christ as the Mount of Transfiguration event of Matthew 17, Mark 9 and Luke 9: 
    (a) Part of this theory by the author is the possibility that the visit of Moses and Elijah at the Mount of Transfiguration was dealing with them being the Two Witnesses in the Book of Revelation.
    (b) If there is a link with the Two Witnesses, then the two men might be these two men as the verses 5 and 6 are dealing with the ending of the Tribulation Period.
    Some readers might say that Daniel would have recognized Moses and Elijah, but not necessarily, and this theory is just a thought in this author's mind which should be taken as a mere possibility.

The physical floating in the air position of one of the two men, suddenly who was above the waters of the river, is hard to speculate.  Some people might state the possibility that the man "above the waters" is Jesus Christ in a Theophany appearance, as the man knows the future.  This author is not stating the floating man is Jesus Christ, but imagine it might be a thought considered and there are no Biblical Commentaries, that this author could find, to give a good enough theory on the floating man.

Daniel 12:5-6 4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase. 5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. 6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?

When dealing with Daniel 11-12, we are given a starting point of the Abomination of Desolation Event, where we know the Tribulation Period ends after 1260 days, which is 3.5 years, but the two verses state additional days after the Tribulation Period ends.  The question that no Biblical Commentaries have a good answer is what is occurring:

  1. During the additional 30 days?
  2. During the additional 75 days?
Daniel 12:11-12 11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

A few Biblical Scholars, including this Author, believe the Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ and the Wedding Supper of the Lamb occurs immediately after the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which is the ending of the Tribulation Period.  The extra 30 Days and 70 days, may contain the period of time for all these events:

(Note: some readers may disagree with the placement of the Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ, where the theory is explanted in the Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ topic.  Also, note that God is not confined to time constraints and God exists outside of His entire Creation.  The Kingdom of God, is not restricted to time, God exists outside of time and there are multiple Time Domains that God has created.)

As detailed in the 70th week in Daniel topic, the week is a period of seven years, where the period is divided into two halves of 3.5 years, which is 1260 days and 1260 days.  God, in all of the prophecies in the Bible. uses 30 day months of 360 day years.  The starting point of the Tribulation Period is the Abomination of Desolation Event.

Book of Joshua a Small Model of Revelation Tribulation Period

See the topic on "Book of Joshua a Small Model of Revelation Tribulation Period" that shows God's use of patterns, as well as encryptions, models, and many other types of authentication methods that include double occurrences.  In order, for the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments as one Book, to have all the proof in the patterns, encryptions, models, and even unique counting of words, people, and even places means the source has to be from an entity outside of Time which is God. 

It is impossible for the 40 authors, in the 66 books, to have conspired with one another in multiple times in history to accomplish some of the encryptions that are being found through computer software.  The topic on the Tribulation Period illustrates some of the patterns and use of sevens and other numbers that God has always used.

What to read next?

What is Salvation?  Is it is possible to lose Salvation?  We have eternal life Evolution is not real.  When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it.  Rewards in heaven.  Do we Tithe?  What does the 3rd Commandment tell us?  What is Grace and Mercy?  Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
