THE DECIMATION 6! This Side of the Whirlwind

The Decimation 6

Proponent Proposition:

The Great Tribulation pertains to Israel and not the Church

 Proponents: Preterists, Pre-Tribers, Mid-Tribers and any who support Post-Tribulation doctrines.  The A-Millennial viewpoint ignores the above proposition considering it moot.

 According to proponents the Body of Christ (the Church) will not be subject to the Tribulation Period because the “Church” is exempt from the Judgment rendered during the Great Tribulation and this Judgment because it is the Wrath of God (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

 Proponents consent to the idea the Body of Christ took over where Israel failed God in His plans for humanity; therefore, it is Israel and not the Body of Christ who is subject to the coming Wrath of God (which is taught to take place during the Great Tribulation).  The Saints are anticipated to be exempt because the Body of Christ has been set free from the Laws of Sin and Death and Israel has not accepted Christ’s sacrifice for sin.

Hey Whirlwind Fans, we’ve returned for a season from preparing for the Coming Storm.

Revelation Chapter 5 Revealed: This Side of the Whirlwind

Opening the Little Book

At the appropriate time, God will call for the opening of the little book locked with the seven seals, as mentioned in Revelation 5:1–14.

The seals unlock a series of events designed to put God’s agenda for the end of the Latter Days into action.

In verse 2 of chapter 5, an angel cries out, seeking anyone worthy to open the seven seals and set into action the agenda for the beginning of the end. When the search begins, no one worthy can be found to open the book or initiate God’s program.

Chapter 5 outlined a sequence of events that supports split-versing and corroborates its use in the covenant of Jesus Christ as taken from Daniel 9:24–27.

The Decimation 5B: This Side of the Whirlwind

The Decimation 5b

NOW! Don’t be thrown by this first subtitle, “No New Salvations.”  This subject is still related to “Tribulation Saints” and what the Great Consummation message brings to this subject.

So, let’s press on.

(Excerpts, Excerpts, Excerpts from This Side of the Whirlwind)

Where else?

No New Salvations?

“Despair, you farmers, Wail, you vine growers, grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished” (Joel 1:11).

• The ministers of the gospel are the farmers and vine growers who will mourn and weep for the lost.
• The wheat denotes the children of God, those who have received the gospel message but for whatever reason gave up before or during the Great Consummation.
• Frankly, I’m not sure exactly what the barley represents so I’ll leave that for God to reveal in His perfect timing.
• At the time of this harvest, all crops will and have failed and none were or will be saved.

The Decimation 5A: Tribulation Saints?

The Decimation 5a

Tribulation Saints

One of the tragic misunderstandings in the Pre, Mid and Post-Tribulation teachings as well as the A-Millennial and Preteristic viewpoints is the idea of Tribulation Saints.  Tribulation Saints as presented by these false doctrines represent those individuals, Lukewarm Christians and or secular peoples, who come to the knowledge of Jesus as Lord AFTER the Resurrection and Rapture of the Body of Christ has taken place.  BAD doctrine!

Once again, these wrong minded teachings are the result of Christendom not having the entire message for the End Times.  Remember, the Prophets Daniel and John were told by God to, “…Shut up the words and seal the book until the “Time of the End,” (Daniel 8:11-26; 12:4-9 and Revelation 10:1-7).

WE ARE the Tribulation Saints!

Those Christians living in the Latter Days “right now” will be the Tribulation Saints.

Hey Whirlwind Fans!

In case you were wondering, we are away preparing a place for the coming Storm of the Great Consummation.

Yep, that’s what many mistakenly call the Great Tribulation.

At any rate, we are still writing but just not as much as before.

The Decimation 4: This Side of the Whirlwind

The Decimation 4

When Will These Things Be?

• In “The Decimation 1” we discussed God’s “reason” for the End-Times; God’s purpose for the coming of the Great Tribulation and Wrath of God.
• “The Decimation 2” Unveiled the falsehood of the 7 Year Great Tribulation “theory” and the truth behind the 3½ years remaining in which both the Tribulation Period and the Wrath of God will take place.
• Then in “The Decimation 3” we looked over the great debacle behind Daniel 9:27’s pronoun “He”;
  • AS IN, “He shall confirm a Covenant with many for 7 years” which further confirmed “WHO” would firmly establish a blood Covenant with humanity.
  • Remember, Jesus is HE who would confirm…!
• Now it’s time to look at “…when shall these things be…” question (Matthew 24:3; Mark 13:4 & Luke 21:7).

Note: even though “This Side of the Whirlwind” explains many of the misinterpretations found in this article (Great Tribulation based misunderstandings) the article still points out some pertinent and interesting Signs of the Times.

Enjoy!

Prophecy Fulfilled or What?

A friend of mine wrote this little study on a prophecy found in Hosea chapter 4.

Just thought I’d pass it along.

BTW, anything in RED lettering is one of my additions to Vito’s text.

https://youtu.be/Dp7KfG9AjaY

Written by Vito Teti:

The plight of today’s fishing industry-

https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_4393946

It’s a fact that the world’s fish stocks are currently being decimated by a combination of over-fishing, ocean pollution & climate change. 

Regardless of the direct human influences, could this also parallel a prophecy of Divine Judgement?
Consider what the implications would be if the global fishing industry totally collapsed:

• How would that affect us all?
• How would it impact the world ecosystems?
• What about the global economy?

It would be totally disastrous all the way around, wouldn’t it?

Hosea 4:3

“Therefore the land will mourn;
And everyone who dwells there will waste away
With the beasts of the field
And the birds of the air;
Even the fish of the sea will be taken away.” (NKJV)

Let’s read what the book of Hosea says, chapter 4, verse 3d –

• The fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. (KJV)
• Even the fish of the sea will be taken away. (NKJV)
• Even the fish in the sea will be removed. (CJSB)
• Even the fish of the sea shall fail. (NETS-LXX)
• Even the fish of the sea are perishing (NRSV)
• And the fish of the sea are disappearing. (NLT)
• And also the fish of the sea disappear. (NASB footnote, the literal Hebrew is: “are taken away”).Note the KJV, NKJV & CJSB say that the fish will be either “Taken Away or Removed”.  By whom?

And notice that the NRSV, NLT & NASB are in the present tense.  Is this happening right now just as predicted?

Though let’s keep Hosea 4:1-10 in context: (NASB)

1. Listen to the word of the Lord, O sons of Israel, For the Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land, Because there is no faithfulness or kindness Or knowledge of God in the land.

2.There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery. They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.

3. Therefore the land mourns, And everyone who lives in it languishes, Along with the beasts of the field and the birds of the sky, And also the fish of the sea disappear.

4. Yet let no one find fault, and let none offer reproof; For your people are like those who contend with the priest.

5. So you will stumble by day, And the prophet also will stumble with you by night; And I will destroy your mother.

6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

7.The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.

8.They feed on the sin of My people, And direct their desire toward their iniquity.

9. And it will be, like people, like priest; So I will punish them for their ways, And repay them for their deeds.

10.They will eat, but not have enough; They will play the harlot, but not increase, Because they have stopped giving heed to the Lord.

Judgment that’s long over-due, yes?

Because of the state of the world’s modern standards that sounds pretty darn close to this indeed:

So now we call the proud blessed, 

For those who do wickedness are raised up, 

They even tempt God and go free. 
Malachai 3:15  (NKJV)History repeating itself perhaps?
Are we on the cusp of The Judgment?

Do we really need to ask with all the signs and prophecies taking place?

If the answer is, “yes, we need to ask,” then WE are not paying much attention to the world around us and all the prophecies which have and are coming to pass right now!

God bless you and your preparation for the Coming Storm!

This Side of the Whirlwind’s: Trib Vs. Wrath the Series

7 Years of Judgment, Prophecy, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind, The Beast, The End Times, The Great Tribulation, The Latter Days, The Mark of the Beast

The Series

The Tribulation Period Vs. Wrath of God

As strongly supported by elements of the text, the Tribulation Period is not likely to be the Wrath of God. Rather the Tribulation Period and Wrath of God are two totally separate and distinct components of the Great Consummation. The distinctions are obvious when all scriptures are fully considered within the Word of God. Should the Tribulation Period and the Wrath of God overlap at any point, scriptures would be violated. The primary function for the Tribulation Period is to separate true Christians from pseudo-Christians in order to exclude the faithful followers within the Body of Christ from the Wrath of God and prepare the saints for the Rapture, thereby fulfilling prophecy (Matthew 13:24–30). When considering these truths, it should be obvious true Christians are removed before the Wrath of God comes upon the wicked. By the time of God’s Wrath, the entire Body of Christ will reside at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Such scriptural truths confirm the Body of Christ’s role during the Tribulation Period of the Great Consummation.
