Will God Protect You
in the time of the Great Tribulation?
Maybe.
God has always protected
and made provision
for His people
during perilous times.
Why would He not do the same for those
who are trusting and obeying Him
during this time of trial?
Let me show you some interesting
"promise" verses
that may apply to the time
of the Great Tribulation.
In Zephaniah chapter 2 verse 3
we read
Seek the Lord,
all you meek of the earth,
Who have
Who have
upheld His justice.
Seek righteousness,
seek humility.
It may be
It may be
that you will be hidden
In the day of the Lord's anger.
In the day of the Lord's anger.
And in Revelation 3:10
we read
Because you have kept My command to persevere,
I also will keep you from the hour of trial
which shall come upon the whole world,
to test those who dwell on the earth.
Jesus encourages believers to persevere
and to be Watching
and Praying during this time.
In Luke 21:34-36
we read
“But take heed to yourselves,
lest your hearts be weighed down
with carousing, drunkenness,
and cares of this life,
and that Day come on you
unexpectedly.
For it will come as a snare
on all those who dwell
on the face
of the whole earth.
Watch therefore,
and pray always
that you may be counted worthy
to escape all these things
that will come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of Man.”
While some may be "Protected"
during this time of tribulation,
we see clearly that many will be persecuted
and killed for their faith.
But scripture is very clear
that nothing will separate us
from the love of God.
We should not fear death.
We should welcome it,
since we are promised
new bodies,
and an eternity
with the God who loves us.
Our peace comes from our relationship with Jesus.
And He tells us to be Brave
in the face of tribulation.
In John 16:33
we read
These things I have spoken to you,
that in Me
you may have peace.
In the world
you will have tribulation;
but be of good cheer,
( be undaunted -
Have Courage ),
I have overcome the world.”
Another reason
we should not be afraid or worried
is because of
God's love for us
In Romans chapter 8 verses 35 - 39
we read
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress,
or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril,
or sword?
As it is written:
"For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted
We are accounted
as sheep for the slaughter."
Yet in all these things
we are more than conquerors
through Him
who loved us.
For I am persuaded that
neither death
nor life,
nor angels
nor principalities
nor powers,
nor things present
nor things to come,
nor height
nor depth,
nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us
from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
So when events seem overwhelming around you
Remember you can always turn to Him.
casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you.
from 1 Peter 5:7
As you read the Bible,
try to take note of how many times God
has provided deliverance
and provision.
And realize He can do the same for you.
I'm sure you've read in Daniel
about his 3 friends surviving the fire
meant to destroy them.
And every one has heard about Daniel
being delivered from the Lion's Den.
You might not have heard about
Ebed-Melech
the Ethiopian.
We see in Jeremiah how the Lord specificly spared him,
while destruction and death
came to those around him.
In Jeremiah chapter 39 verses 15-18
we read
... the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah ...
“Go and speak to Ebed-Melech
the Ethiopian, saying,
'Thus says the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel:
“Behold, I will bring My words upon this city
for adversity and not for good,
and they shall be performed
in that day before you.
But I will deliver you
in that day,”
says the Lord,
“and you shall not be given into the hand
of the men of whom
you are afraid.
For I will surely deliver you,
and you shall not fall by the sword;
but your life shall be as a prize to you,
because
you have put your trust in Me,”
says the Lord.’ ”
I hope this message gives you some encouragement,
for both your current trials,
and whatever the future may hold.
We have a loving Father
who is more than able
to provide for
and protect us,
until it is our time to meet Him.

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some,
but exhorting one another,
and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:23-25
