What does supposition mean, anyway? Supposition is the combination of two words: suppose and position. To suppose means to presume to be true or real without conclusive evidence. Position, in this particular word, means a point of view. The pre-tribulation theory is a wrong supposition intended to replace truths plainly written in Scripture. For an example in Matthew 24:18-31:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Well gosh, that’s pretty clear – after and not before and that is straight from The Source Himself, Jesus! Furthermore, because we are unclear about the distinctions in Scripture, we confuse tribulation, the great tribulation and the wrath of God all as the same, but they are distinctively different.
TRIBULATION IN GENERAL is the attrition that the righteous faithful experience in an unrighteous world. Jesus said as individuals (if we are indeed His), we will experience tribulation in this life, but to be encouraged. Because He has overcome, we can overcome (John 16:33).
THE GREAT TRIBULATION is when Satan, in a fierce crank, knowing his time is short and architects destruction globally through his well organized, harlot bride (copycat of the true Bride of Christ), Mystery Babylon (Rev 12:22).
He will dominate through Mystery Babylon’s inclusive corruption of national and religious alliances under the banner of a goodwill agenda. His main target has been and will continue to be against the righteous faithful, because of his vehement enmity against God and those God is in covenant with, as a retaliation to his soon defeat.
Remember Mystery Babylon is the proper name given by the Bible to the end-time embodiment of Satan’s final religious and governmental satanic system. It is the accrued momentum of the mystery of lawlessness or iniquity through earth’s history finding full expression in the end-times. This is the age of apostasy, the ultimate global urge to merge campaign, convincing the masses while dressed up in his messianic wanna-be giddy-up that he is the liberator from all unenlightened and judgmental restraints. He will call for an artificial peace that does not adhere to the principles of peace that insure reconciliation through responsibility and accountability.
So how will he get those committed to goodwill, justice and peace to persecute the righteous faithful? He will demonize our allegiance to the narrowness of the EXCLUSIVITY OF GOD’S ATONEMENT, and call that good evil and call the evil of the coming emergence of all things (outside the EXCLUSIVE ATONEMENT of Jesus’ blood) good. Just as John foresaw in Revelation,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. Rev 17:5, 6
GOD’S WRATH is poured out after the great tribulation on those who messed with God’s Beloved in the earth and refused the EXCLUSIVE ATONEMENT OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS. Those who drank the Kool-Aid of Mystery Babylon will be damned.
After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”
We will go over end-times more specifically in Section Five, but for now, the point is that the righteous faithful are present during the great tribulation because we are the “who” that Satan is persecuting! We need to know that our fate is the same as Israel’s, because we are a part of the Israel of God!
Just as Ruth chose to uphold her relationship with Naomi and was redeemed into Naomi's family, so we, Beloved, have been redeemed, grafted into the family of God, the Israel of God. We are going to be in great company because God Himself has linked His Name and Word to the fate of Israel in the earth. Let’s be found faithful!
