Please Say a Prayer Against Tribulation

Freep | 3/21/2016 | Charles O'Connell

Below is a prayer you might consider saying to stave off tribulation.

Tribulation is a word for future events predicted in the Bible, that are God's punishment for the world when He has decided that His mercy is no longer efficacious. Tribulation has an historical precedent in the various wars, invasions and exiles the Hebrew people suffered in the Old Testament for their unfaithfulness to God.

Here is a link to an article "Of prophecy and near-death experiences" on Sarah Menet, a woman who had a near death experience in 1979, in which she saw various disasters facing our country and our world as a result of our failure to follow God's law of love.

Prayer

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the great goodness of your creation of our beautiful world and your making us out of nothing for pure love.

I'm sorry for my personal sins which are part of the great body of offenses against You which can force Your hand to punish the world.

Please help me to admit my sins, to sincerely repent from them, to seek Your forgiveness, and to allow You to make me a better person, free from sins and free in the sacrifice of Your Son.

Please keep my family safe in this time of slowly creeping tribulation.

You alone are God, Who deserves to rule over our world in love and justice.

I thank You for all your gifts and graces

I praise You for Your Divine beauty, goodness, truthfulness and justice.

I view the timing of the Tribulation as in God's hands. He can stay his hand. He did so with Nineveh. Things may seem they are falling apart in these Last Days, but for believers, things are also falling together. I pray for myself and my family that we may escape God's wrath, and to stand before the Son of Man. I pray that many will turn to Jesus in these Last Days, and I pray for Israel.

Beautiful prayer. Amen.

If it’s going to happen, I would rather it happen in my lifetime so my children don’t have to live through it, or at least will live past it into the good part.

(I’ll be dead long before the end of the 7 years)

Y’all can pray as hard as you like. If there is going to be a tribulation, it will come. Nothing you are going to think, say, or do that will change it.

[Vermont Lt]

Just curious. Do you know the current name of Ninevah?

The tribulation discussed in Revelation is the destruction of Jerusalem, the Temple, and with it Judaism worship and the Old Covenant. The book of Hebrews says that the old must pass away - we cannot really be under the New Covenant until this happens, and it has. There is still much to fear, but not the tribulation as described in Revelation.

[HombreSecreto]

If my memory serves, Mosul, Iraq, is the city located next to the ruins of ancient Nineveh.

[left that other site]

Amen.

Just curious. Do you know the current name of Ninevah?

I think it's Mosul.

[Vermont Lt]

Yup. A name that has been, and will be in the news this Spring and Summer.

[DeathBeforeDishonor1]

I fully welcome tribulation and Im not being sarcastic.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience;
and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5:1-5

[SkyPilot]

I heard last year that it was Mosul.

The tribulation discussed in Revelation is the destruction of Jerusalem, the Temple, and with it Judaism worship and the Old Covenant.

No it isn't.

That is preterism.

One of the best scenes in the Godfather trilogy is when Michael was giving his confession to Cardinal Lamberto.

"Look at this stone. It has been lying in the water for a very long time, but the water has not penetrated... it.

Cardinal breaks the stone

...Look. Perfectly dry. The same thing has happened to men in Europe. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity, but Christ has not penetrated. Christ doesn't breathe within them."

Our society refuses to let Christ "breathe" within us. That takes a choice that is sadly being denied by their own free will.

[impactplayer]

That is correct - It is also believing what the Bible says. Jesus says (both in the Olive Garden discourse and the first verse of Revelation) that these things will happen shortly. And either they did, or Jesus was wrong (not my choice).

When did one third of all fresh water on earth get poisoned? When did all the green grass on the earth get burned up? When did one third of all sea creatures die? When did one third of all global shipping die? When did the two witnesses appear? Who were they? How did the entire world view their resurrection and rapture? When were demons from hell unleashed to torture men for five months all of the planet? Actually, none of it has happened yet. Unless you don’t believe what the Bible says.

[Vermont Lt]

It is funny, and I am not making fun of you.

Did you see the video that’s been making the rounds this weekend where a woman in the background seems to disappear from view. It was an optical illusion, but the first thing I thought was, “Oh no...that rapture stuff is true. And I am still here.”

[impactplayer]

Actually, all of it has happened, but it is not in the Bible, because it all happened after the Bible had been completed. You need to read the works of Josephus (and others) to see what really happened.
