The Sealed Church Will Go Through The Future Tribulation, Divinely Protected By God
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
There is no need for the beast to blaspheme God unless the saints are on earth, for they represent the truth, and he is trying to convince the world to not follow Christianity before they take the mark that do not love God, for the devil is trying to deceive as many people spiritually as he can and those he cannot deceive spiritually he will try to get them physically destroyed by taking them to the battle of Armageddon, but God will spare one sixth of the heathen so Jesus can rule over them.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
He will make war with the saints, and overcome them, and he has control of the world for the 10 horns hand their power over to him which the 10 horns is the world split in to ten sections with a leader in each section so they cover the world, which is the 7th head, 7th king, global government the next kingdom to come that will continue for a short space which is three and one half years, and the 8th king is the beast who will rule for three and one half years.
This could of not happened in the first century for the beast has power over all nations, kindreds, and tongues, and all people that dwell upon earth shall worship him who do not love God, so the beast is the ruler of the world.
For it is time for God to end sin on earth so He allowed the world to have their way for 7 years to cause all people that do not love Him to follow the beast and take his mark and then repentance is no longer available to them, and God will end sin on earth.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
We fight back by not taking the mark of the beast, and not following the beast, but we do not fight back physically against them.
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time(three and one half years).
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Dan 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
The beast shall destroy the mighty and holy people, and by peace shall destroy many.
The beast shall persecute the saints for three and one half years, and when he shall have accomplished to scatter their power then all things are finished.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Then the saints left on earth shall be gathered unto Christ, and then He shall put down all rule, authority, and power.
It appears as if the saints are going to be persecuted, which Jesus said it is the greatest persecution against the people of God for it is on a world wide level, which if the days were not shortened there would be no flesh alive, which is three and one half years.
Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
The 2 witnesses are only sent to Israel to turn them to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah, and they go against any person that would try to stop them from reaching out to the Jews.
For the Jews are protected from physical attack during the 7 years period for God has the plan to restore the kingdom to Israel during the millennial reign of Christ, and Jesus said salvation is of the Jews, and the Jew will not see Him again until they say blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord, and the 12 tribes of Israel, and the 12 apostles of the Lamb are written in the New Jerusalem, so Israel as a nation has to come to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.
