Is the Great Tribulation Period really a seven year period?

Being a servant of Jesus Christ, called, chosen, and faithful to his righteous will. I want to share a revelation God revealed unto me. This same truth has been revealed to others who have received the revelation of Jesus Christ. God spoke unto me and said: " Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither be thou confounded; For I am with you. Revelation can only be revealed through the scriptures. If an angel, or man speaks anything that disagrees, or contradicts, he is a liar, and a false prophet."

We must remember that the book of Revelation speaks of things that had happened, things that were presently happening and things that would happen in the future. (Revelation 1:19) things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be here after. People, most of Revelation has been fulfilled and we are to live the prophecy of this book. (Rev 1:3) Blessed is he that READETH, and they that HEAR the words of this prophecy, and KEEP those things which are written therein: for the TIME IS AT HAND. How can we keep the prophecy of this book if we do not understand it? If it is not to be UNDERSTOOD NOW, how could the TIME BE AT HAND? It says that even the time was at hand THEN. This book is to be understood and lived by now. It reveals how to know and live for Jesus, and is not revealed to the whore and harlots, but only to the saints.

(Romans 10:14) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? (Romans 10:15) And how shall they preach, except they be SENT? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! God only sends his true prophets to preach. Through the foolishness of preaching it pleased God to save man. (1 Cor 1:21 KJV) For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. Without preachers God's plan would not be complete. If you follow a man of God that is filled with the Holy Ghost, you are not following man, but God. (2 Th 3:7 KJV) For yourselves know how ye ought to FOLLOW US: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you. When its says not to follow man it means carnally minded men. (1 Cor 15:45 KJV) And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. (1 Cor 15:46 KJV) Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. (1 Cor 15:47 KJV) The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. (1 Cor 15:48 KJV) As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

(Job 14:1) Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. This sounds like tribulations to me, every man faces trouble in this life. The only TRIBULATION PERIOD I am faced with is the one in my life. Some places in the world are having tribulations that are beyond our comprehension, we must realize no matter who we are all men have their battles, and tribulations of life. The ones that endure these tribulations and serve Jesus until the end are the ones that are given white robes. (Rev 7:14) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of GREAT TRIBULATION, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. It includes the entire church. (Revelation 6:9) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were SLAIN for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: (Revelation 6:10) And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? (Revelation 6:11) And WHITE ROBES were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their FELLOW SERVANTS also and their brethren, that should be KILLED as THEY [WERE], should be fulfilled. The prophets of old SUFFERED GREATLY unto death also.

Starting with Stephen, who was accused of blaspheme, he told the high Priest and his accusers: (Acts 7:52) Which of the prophets have not your fathers PERSECUTED? and they have SLAIN THEM which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: (Acts 7:54) When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they GNASHED on him with [their] teeth. Because he told them about the persecution of the prophets, he too was killed. All of the apostles according to history, except John, were murdered for Christ. Both the apostles and prophets were part of the church. (Ephesians 2:20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]. There is just one church and one body, not two separate churches. The building is built upon the foundation, but yet, it all is one building. God forbid that the wonderful prophets and saints of the Old Testament not be respected and honored as members of the body and building of Christ. The NEW COVENANT started on the day of Pentecost, not the church, which has been from the beginning.

Now after the death of the beloved prophets of old, the apostles and disciples preached Christ to the lost house of Israel, many accepted Jesus and were persecuted. (Acts 8:1) And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a GREAT PERSECUTION against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

Jesus warned his followers they would suffer. (Matthew 24:9) Then shall they deliver you up to be AFFLICTED, and shall KILL you: and ye shall be HATED of all nations for my NAME'S sake. (Daniel 11:33) And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they SHALL FALL by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, [MANY] days. (Daniel 11:35) And [some] of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to PURGE, and to make [them] WHITE, [even] TO the TIME of the END: because [it is] yet for a time appointed. Do not listen to the ignorant wisdom of men, not having the revelation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who want to hold you captive with enticing words having you in their power. Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing. They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, the Lord saith; and the Lord hath not sent them. (I Thessalonians 1:6) And ye became FOLLOWERS of US, and of the Lord, having received the word in much AFFLICTION, with joy of the Holy Ghost: (I Thessalonians 2:15) Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have PERSECUTED US; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: (I Thessalonians 3:3) That no man should be moved by these AFFLICTIONS: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. (1 Thessalonians 3:4) For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should SUFFER TRIBULATION; even as it came to pass, and ye know.

The church is going through the GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD, because the church was born in tribulation. (Revelation 12:10) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. (Revelation 12:11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the DEATH.

Tribulation on the church comes from the devil, millions have died for Christ. Catholic's saying they were Christians KILLED many Protestants in the SPANISH INQUISITION. Romans KILLED Christians with lions and wild beast for sport. The CATACOMBS in Rome are full of the bodies of the believers who died for Christ. Were not these part of the body, or church? What could be GREATER TRIBULATION than to see your child, wife, husband, or fellow Christian THROWN to the LIONS, or see loved ones CUT ASUNDER before your very eyes. People have suffered and died for the church throughout the ages. Are we going to deny the body of Christ that has suffered great horrible torture just because the false prophets say they hear God, pretending to be men of God, and saying surely we know, when they prophecy lies, learning the revelation they have, from studying books, or charts of other men instead of the scriptures? (I Thessalonians 3:7) Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our AFFECTION and DISTRESS by your faith: (II Thessalonians 1:4) So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your PERSECUTIONS and TRIBULATIONS that ye endure.

We are going to go through great tribulations in this life, one way, or another. Even the rich cannot buy their lives, or deliver themselves from diseases, or depression. Look at Rock Hudson, Elvis Presley, or Howard Hughes, all men suffer in this life, the difference is we are hated by the world for Jesus name.

(I Corinthians 12:26) And whether one member SUFFER, ALL the MEMBERS SUFFER with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it. (Revelation 7:9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands, this is the church. (Revelation 7:13) And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in WHITE robes? and whence came they? (Revelation 7:14) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Church, realize, your brothers and sisters have suffered throughout the ages. The true church is not the denominations of this country. God looks at the church throughout the world, not just in America. The church has suffered under the JEWS, ROMANS, CATHOLIC POPES, HITLER, RUSSIA, CHINA and in most other countries. Surely you know everyone does not have freedom of religion. Then as the CHURCH; they suffer, and have suffered great tribulation since Jesus has been preached.

Be not deceived, vengeance is mine and I will repay saith the Lord. We suffer tribulations in our life with Christ, and we are tried by the fires of this life. The false prophets are confused about the great tribulation period, and the wrath of God. The great tribulation period for the church is just about over, and when a Christian dies his trials are over. (Rev 7:17 KJV) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Rev 21:4 KJV) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Tribulations of this life are over, praise God!

This is the last battle that we will fight, it is the spiritual battle of Armageddon which is taking place. Gog and Magog, the nation of Satan is gathered around on every side. (Eph 6:14 KJV) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (Eph 6:15 KJV) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (Eph 6:16 KJV) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (Eph 6:17 KJV) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (Eph 6:18 KJV) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (Eph 6:19 KJV) And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel. We are ready for the battle and we must fight now as faithful soldiers.

Members of the church suffer throughout different parts of the world. There are other members besides Americans. Beloved, be not ignorant of this; there are false prophets, highly educated scholars of the scriptures, ever learning, but never coming to the knowledge of the truth, puffed up, proud, adulterers, beguiling, unstable souls, who are so called church leaders, supposing to be watchmen, serving themselves, feeding themselves without fear, carried about of the doctrines of the devil. From such, turn away and depend on God to guide you.

(Eph 4:11 KJV) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; (Eph 4:12 KJV) For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Receive the revelation of Jesus Christ, not the doctrine of the false church.
