We are going to Start at the END

Salvation in Tribulation (Revelation 7:10)

Salvation in Tribulation

Some have an idea that during the Great Tribulation, mentioned by Daniel, confirmed by Jesus that God’s focus is solely focused on Condemnation and Retribution - yet clearly God’s wrath is purposed in such a way to cause men to repent and believe.

Salvation in Temptation (Revelation 12:10)

Salvation in Tribulation

Both Matthew and Luke’s gospel point out Satan’s Temptation of Jesus, but while Luke names the adversary as “The Devil” - Matthew names him as “The Tempter)

You might also remember the Matthew 16 passage where Jesus calls Peter Satan - a stumbling block...

Yet despite Satan’s great efforts to DECEIVE ALL MANKIND - remember Pauls Words in 2 Corinthians 4:4 “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God...”

Despite Satan’s efforts, and even once he is cast down - THERE WILL BE THOSE SAVED

Salvation at the Termination (Revelation 19:1)

Salvation at the Termination

The end of the Kingdoms of THIS EARTH - those of the Flesh tainted by Sinful Passion and Powerful Desire to Possess Power - those whose Purposes are in Defiance of the Creator God who is also their Savior.

Even at the TERMINAL MOMENT Salvation is apparent.

Death Bed Conversions are STILL CONVERSIONS

Late in Life Salvation Decision are STILL DECISIONS FOR CHRIST

Look at Revelation 14:6 - “Then I saw another angel flying through the sky, and he had the everlasting gospel to proclaim to those who live on earth - to every nation, tribe, language and people...”

Even as the TERMINATION point looms, the GREAT SALVATION OF OUR GOD through the GOSPEL is EVIDENT

IS THE GREAT SALVATION OF OUR GREAT GOD AN SAVIOR EVIDENT IN OUR LIVES, OUR FAMILIES, OUR CHURCH?

Paul Wrote in Philippians 2:10-11 “so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL Bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God his Father”
