Tribulation Comes

For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Revelation 6:17

One could look upon the news feeds of today or study the history books of the last couple thousand years and conclude that the first five seals of the Revelation have been opened and operating for some time now. But then we run into that sixth one, known by many as the Wrath of the Lamb. This one appears unmistakeable and global. And the sixth chapter of the Revelation closes with a question that we read in our verse for today.

It is true that conquest, war, famine, pestilence, and death have been with us for most of the history of the world that we know. However, our Lord Jesus also spoke to the disciples and us about yelling "Tribulation!" too soon. Wars and rumors of war are on the table this morning, and so have been earthquakes in diverse places. "But the end is not yet..." our Lord said. Given that no man knows the day and hour when our Lord Jesus will return, it may well be that we won't know the starting day of those final years either. More study! More watching!

Tribulation comes, but when?

Trust in the Lord always,
