Partial quote from the message of the link above.-> >>>Big-time Pretribulationalists are wrong - big time!. The "coming Great Tribulation" is not intended for Israel. In fact, there is no coming Great Tribulation. And there is no Israel. The Great Tribulation the Lord Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24:21 happened some 2000 years ago, and contrary to common belief, it was intended for those Israelites who were "born again," and professed belief in Jesus Christ, they shoul go through it to qualify for the Millennial Kingdom. A small remnant made it through the Tribulation, many who didn't were destroyed in the war between Israel and Rome, which ended in AD70, and many were carried away to other nations. The "Jews" we see today are, spiritually Gentiles, who have every opportunity to accept Christ just as other Gentiles, and be saved. Most, however, hate Christ, and pathetically cling to the Law, and Mosaic System, encouraged by the ignorance of evangelical Christians, who should know better, and should be preaching the truth to these lost "Jews."

The author of the topic
"Tribulation Hoax" above mentioned, interpreted Scriptures by the letter, the letter kills. In this way, his spirit initiated a commentary capable of killing everyone who did not have a spirit of discernment. In fact, his commentary is mortal. In fact, it is the author above who is wrong, not those he supposes or imagines to be wrong for disagreeing with him, and his indigestible or very bad commentary.
Speaking of Matthew 24 as a whole,the author above,and we also, should know that
it refers about GREAT EVENTS since the beginning of the Church in the 1st century until this current time.
The FIRST Great Event, Matthew 24:1-2,refers to the destruction of the Temple,the den of thieves,in year 70AD,and also the destruction of the nation of Israel. Israel was banned from their land
(diaspora)from 70AD until 1948,->
1878 years of severe and strong punishments,even great plagues and cursings, according
Deuteronomy 28:15-68, until the fulness of the Gentiles->Luke 21:22-24:->22 For these be the days of vengeance,that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child,and to them that give suck,in those days! for there shall be Great Distress in the land,
and WRATH upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword,and shall be led away captive into all nations
(DIASPORA):and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles,
until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled-
Revelation 11:1-2.
As a 2nd EVENT, Matthew 24:3-8,and as signs of JESUS coming,a PERIOD OF SORROWS,He Himself listed several happenings
for this period of sorrows, that is a PRE-TRIBULATION PERIOD, but the END is not yet,said JESUS. He also left crystal clear that even in this time of sorrows there will be others unpleasant events-
Matthew 24:10-14:->
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the END(1Corinthians 15:24-28 and 51-55, the same shall be saved.
14 And
this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the END come.
3rd EVENT.->Why is there or will be great tribulation?What is or will be the cause or origin of the appearance of the great tribulation?
The answer is in the Word of GOD.By the way,human opinion according the spirit of man which is in him it is good for nothing.The answer of the question above is in
Daniel 12:1(& Matthew 24:15):->And at that time shall Michael stand up,the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people:and there shall be a time of trouble,such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:...It is Michael, the same that was in Sodom, who is with his sharp Sword-God's Word-to pour severe plagues upon the nations ruled by men guided by the spirit of Devil, and the plagues have already started in accord the Word of GOD.
There will be severe punishments against powerful nations-> Micah 4:3->yeah,only and only punishments,
consequently there will be GREAT TRIBULATION such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time,no,nor ever will be.->The days will be shortened because there is a deadline to destroy the Devil's world
(Revelation 11:18) and to close the Dispensation of Grace
->Revelation 11:6. ->
They which that will endure unto the end,the same will be saved.
Another great happening is determined for this present time.There will be resurrection in this present time,some to everlasting life,and some to shame and everlasting contempt-Daniel 12:3&1Thes.4:16, take a look.
Why there will be great tribulation? What will be the cause or origin of the appearance of the great tribulation? The answer is in the Word of God, human opinions in accord the spirit of man which is in him is good for nothing. The answer of the question is in Daniel 12:v.1 - 1 And at that...

GOD is Life->the tree of life, and He warned us, saying:->But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil->
(Genesis 2:17->combined with 3:22 and 3:1-11,take a look),thou shalt not eat of it:for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die->(Very terrible deadly sound).
By the way, speaking of death, we believers must understand that Death is the NAME of the horserider of the pale horse:->Revelation 6:8-9 and 2Thessalonians 2:2-13: ->Rev.6:8->8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and
his NAME that sat on him was Death, and Hell follows with him(Terrible). And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth(fierce men). 2Thes .2:->3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that Day(
Lord's Day) shall not come, except there come a falling away
first, and that MAN of sin be revealed, the son of perdition(the Devil); 4 Who opposeth
(will opose) and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
->Revelation 13:11->11 And I beheld another Beast
coming up out of the earth(Israel); and he had two horns like a lamb
(a false lamb, a false messiah-John 5:43-47, take a look), and he spake as a dragon.->The manifestion of the false messiah himself, the dragon, son of perdition, is at the door. T
he current devilish world is being pushed towards chaos by the horserider of the red horse, he is paving the way or manifestation of the false messiah, the dragon.-> Revelation 12:9->9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the WHOLE WORLD: he was
(will be) cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12:12->Therefore rejoice, ye heavens(heavens?Ephesians 1:3-10, and so on), and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the Devil(the false lamb, false messiah) is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.->10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven
(heaven?Ephesians 1:3-10), Now is come salvation, and strength,
and the Kingdom of our GOD->(Revelarion 11:15-18, take a look), and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our GOD day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb
(by the blood of JESUS),
and by the Word of their testimony(the testimony of Christ-Romans 8:9); and they loved not their lives unto the death.
My our Lord GOD bless us and keep us and give us His protection . Amen.
