Matthew 24:34-36 KJVS
“Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. [35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. [36] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
Jesus here in Matthew Chapter 24 was talking about His return and all the events that will transpire leading up to His return at the Woe of the Seventh Trumpet.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, not the angels, but our Heavenly Father only.
That Day is the Lords Day which will transpire at the seventh trumpet and that Day is a thousand years known as the millennium, also known as the great Winepress, spoken about in Revelation Chapter 14.
Revelation 14:14-20 KJVS
“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. [15] And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. [16] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. [17] And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. [18] And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. [19] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. [20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.”
The great Winepress is the Wrath of God, which is the great tribulation, that many who are still found in Satans deception, will be cast into so to speak, at the woe of the seventh trumpet.
This great tribulation is a thousand-year period which is also called the great notable day of the Lord.
We can see the Holy Spirit speaking through Peter on the day of Pentecost, prophetically, on what will happen before the great and notable day of the Lord, the great tribulation.
Acts 2:14-21 KJVS
“But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: [15] For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. [16] But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; [17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: [18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: [19] And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
This of course was spoken originally by Joel the prophet in Joel Chapter 2 verses 23- 22.
Before that day, the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon will turn into blood. Before that day, will be the hour that Christ also mentioned in Matthew Chapter 24 verse 36.
This is the hour of temptation which is Satan’s tribulation that will come upon the world at the beginning of the five-month period at the Woe of the Fifth Trumpet. No man or angel knows when this tribulation will begin, and no man or woman here on earth should be setting dates.
This tribulation which is Daniel’s Seventieth Week spoken about in Daniel Chapter 9 verse 27 was originally seven years but has been shortened for the elect’s sake (Mark Chapter 13 verse 20) to five months which is the hour of temptation.
We see this five-months spoken about in Revelation Chapter 9, and it will be in the middle of the five- month long hour of temptation when Satan will appear as the antichrist and will cause the third of the world who are Christians to be spiritually darkened, which is their spiritual death. This I believe to be what the sun being darkened and the moon turning into blood is symbolic of when the Holy Spirit prophesied through Peter in Acts Chapter 2.
This shortened week which again is Daniel’s seventieth week is the timeframe of the Locust that is written about in Revelation Chapter 9.
Revelation 9:1-5 KJVS
“And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. [2] And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. [3] And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. [4] And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. [5] And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.”
Five months, and this five-month long hour of temptation will begin at the Woe of the Fifth Trumpet. Within these five-months lie two woes that will come upon the earth, which make up Satan’s tribulation.
Woe! Woe! Woe!
There are three woes that we have to familiarize ourselves in our Heavenly Fathers Word.
Revelation 8:13 KJVS
“And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!”
These three woes are yet to come upon the earth. It is my belief that we have been in the fifth trumpet since 1969, and the woe of the fifth trumpet has been held back for the sealing of the 144,000 (Revelation Chapter 7 verses 1 through 8).
When the woe of the fifth trumpet comes upon earth the four winds, which represents the five-month long hour of temptation, will be released (Daniel Chapter 7 verses 1 through 7), and again that is when the tribulation of those days will begin.
Within those days before the great notable day of our Lord begins are two of the three woes, The Woe of the Fifth Trumpet, and the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet, and immediately after the tribulation of those days the third and final woe which is the Woe of the Seventh Trumpet will begin.
Matthew 24:27-30 KJVS
“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [28] For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. [29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
When the great tribulation begins after the tribulation of those days have ended, those who are found without the light of Christ will mourn because they will know that they were deceived by Satan’s appearance as the false Christ. They at that time, will wish the mountains and rocks to fall upon them.
Revelation 6:15-17 KJVS
“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; [16] And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: [17] For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”
Those who will be found in Satan’s deception will be thrown, so to speak, into the great Winepress which is the wrath of God upon our true Lord Jesus Christ return. Again, we go to Revelation Chapter 14.
Revelation 14:18-20 KJVS
[18] And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. [19] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. [20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.”
That vine of the earth as opposed to being of the Vine who is Jesus Christ from Heaven, will be thrown into great tribulation which is the great Winepress of the wrath of God on that great notable day of our Lords return.
This great Winepress is symbolic of the great day of our Lord’s wrath which will consist of His millennial correction throughout the thousand years. Many who will be cast into the outer darkness during that great and notable day, which will come after that hour, will be given a chance to come out of that great tribulation by receiving that millennial correction and wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb, to also go into eternity.
Revelation 7:9-17 KJVS
“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; [10] And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. [11] And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, [12] Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. [13] And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? [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. [15] Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. [16] They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. [17] 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.”
You must understand that there are two tribulations spoken about in our Heavenly Fathers Word, and many will have to go through both to be purged and made white to go forth with the rest of the body of Christ into eternity which is the third world age.
This is the great day that will immediately follow that hour, and no man or angel knows when it will begin, only our Heavenly Father.
The end.
