And You Thought Life Was Tough…Today!

And You Thought Life Was Tough…Today!
By Don Twobears

I was asked a question in an Email, “What will things be like here on earth, after the Rapture?” So in this article I decided that I wanted to give some information about this situation. Most people of this world have no idea, just how bad things will become, before the Tribulation is over. I would like to say, it matters little, if you believe this or that or whatever, the Bible (God’s Holy Word to man) is the absolute Truth! It is always the Final Truth, concerning any question of this physical or Spiritual Life we are involved in.

Let’s get some Truths out first; Jesus Christ is one member of the Holy Trinity, as is God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Simply put, all together they are God! God “Created” everything and everyone that has ever touched the face of this earth. God is in control of everything and that includes you and I and our thoughts. In short, nothing happens without God allowing or dis-allowing it.

We must also understand that Satan and his ilk are against God in every way possible, they were once the Angels of Heaven. They Sin against God and God threw them out of Heaven! Now Satan is the “Prince of the Air” here on earth. To be straight and blunt about it, we have God and all His Angels on one side and Satan and his angels on the other side, and everyone ever born on this earth, are stuck in the middle. The point of everything is for you as an individual, to decide which group you wish to be on. This will be the group you will be in once you enter into Eternity. Again this is made simplistic and very basic, just for the issue of this article.

Understanding that, Life here on earth everyday is the Proverbial Battle to get you to choose a particular side, ie., Heaven or Hell (again being very basic here). The biggest problem for people is to understand that their particular choice is recorded and they will be held accountable for their actions. As the Bible states, “They will know you by your Fruits.” In other words, your actions in life, will show which side you have chosen to stand on.

In short, those that have chosen to stand with the Lord God will be taken in the Rapture, when it occurs, everyone else will stay right here on earth. Now as to why, either Saved or unsaved would choose to know these things is a little beyond me, suffice to say, it will be very bad in the Tribulation.

I again go back to the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Basically, God the Father is the Righteous and Just Father and Creator of all things and God the Son is Jesus Christ who came here and died for you and I. It would seem most people are okay with the first two, but they have trouble when it comes to the Holy Spirit, why? I do not know! Together they are all God.

It must be understood that the Holy Spirit was sent to us, as soon as Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven. The point being and as Scripture tells us, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells inside each Born-Again Believer and follower of Jesus Christ. Yet, at the same time, The Holy Spirit works in the world and the Scriptures say, with all people. I believe the Holy Spirit holds back evil, which are Satan and his ilk. I believe this is God allowing only a certain amount of evil to exist and to be experienced by humans. Satan has no real power, as God the Father does! Satan on his best day is only able to work his wonders in “Deception and Tom-foolery”. Oddly enough, Satan and his ilk have been very persuasive over time and the majority of the human population has chosen to follow him. Yet we must understand that “we were given this choice to make…freely!”

Having stated all of this, we are able to know that the Holy Spirit does exist. So now going back to the original question, what do you think would happen, if every Born-Again Believer and the Holy Spirit, were removed all at once?!

Okay so now, the first hurdle is being looked at. Those that are NOT saved to Jesus Christ, will remain here on this Physical Planet, in their Physical Bodies and God will begin to destroy…everyone, because of their Sin! Because they chose to be hard-hearted! They wanted whatever they wanted and that was the end of it. So now God has said okay, have it your way. Just remember, YOU chose this for yourself! No one else is at fault for this, because it was YOUR decision. The Tribulation!

Okay, so here you are, the Rapture is over and you know that. So what will happen?

Please remember, the Holy Spirit has been removed in holding back anything. In other words, “The Proverbial Cork has been removed from the Bottle! Pandora’s box is wide open!” In short, anything physical that can happen…will happen…in spades! Let the roller-Coaster ride begin! I am not giving any such time reference here, suffice to say, the Lord God is in charge.

2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.”

Looking at this passage of Scripture, the “He” is the Holy Spirit and we can interchange the word “Wicked for Evil” and vice-versa. Point being, Evil will now be unhindered on every level! Anything physical that can happen to you will happen. So now the question is, what Physical things will come after you? I must surmise, you would like a list of things, right? How about this, you make the list up for yourself, cause I will not be here! OR…you can read Revelation 6 forward, it’s all there.

Let me interject something here to get you started, the Mosquito alone kills thousands upon thousands of people every year. Bacteria’s and Viruses…you know Pestilence, right? Of course, we already know about Famine’s, but we seldom think about our Clean water supply. Or how about our Electrical Grid around the country, what will happen when that finally fails, Spoiled food, no Air Conditioning or Heating. So now we have gone back into the stone age, right? Well, it gets worse!

Revelation 6:8 “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. 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.”

“Whoops!!” Missed that one! So Fido and Fluffy won’t be the Loves of your life any more, wow…sure didn’t see that one coming, or they could end up as tonight’s meal. I just had a bad thought, what about your half million dollar home and lets say, termites, or better yet ants, roaches and Spiders! I am sure that will make for some interesting nights! And you thought the infestation of Bed-Bugs was bad! Remember those nights where you snuck out and watched “the Outer Limits” and wondered if those things could really happen to you?

So now you see how the Financial Structure of the World, just slipped right out the window! Right?! And so now your Wife is screaming for food and shelter, without the unwanted guests, that is. Your money is worthless, the Infra-structure of the country is gone, all your food is spoiled, where do you turn? And if you are able to swap something for food, how sure are you that the food is really good Quality?! And then there is the all present danger of people breaking into your home, for “Swappable Goods”!! Remember Evil is now uncontrolled!

Remember those days of watching those Ghost Hunters on TV? Well now those Ghosts are Demons and they are absolutely everywhere and destroying everything and everyone. Or did you misunderstand what the Word of God said about these things? Chances are you never read it, or wanted to read it…now what are you going to do?!

It would seem, that after a while most everyone is sick in one manner or the other, broken bones, Heart Attacks, Strokes and dead bodies everywhere. The Infra-structure, which includes Health and Hospitals are gone! Ooops! Another Boo-boo….oh and by the way, a simple scratch could now spell disaster and death for you! You see, there is no more manufacturing of anything any more, everyone is trying, just like you, to find food, shelter and safety…just for today and tonight!

By this time you realize that every animal, bird, snake, opossum…whatever…is no longer afraid of you, as a matter of fact and because everything is going to hell in a hand-basket, you look like food to them! I wonder…what of the animals in the zoo? Dogs can be very dangerous and there are some animals that still roam around free and some of them are really big! Can you say, “Survival of the Fittest?” The greatest problem and the biggest predator has always been another human! This does not look promising Folks! Cannibalism, does not sound like a good thing, does it? But then…you asked for this! Didn’t you? I mean, who are you responsible to, whom are you accountable to?!

So…are you beginning to wonder, what exactly, was going through your mind, when Jesus Christ was the topic of the moment? As Marlon Brando once said, “I just wanted a chance, I could been a contender!” What can you do right now?!

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

I use the King James version of the Bible and all emphasis is mine.
