The Tribulation Begins! An in-depth look at the 1st half, and a Laodicean Church rant

In the pregame pastor makes the obligatory insults to our visitors. So if you plan on visiting, you'll know what to expect.

As we start this second lecture on Joel 2, our pastor makes the attempt at letting us know what has gone before. And we find out that this is a combining of Joel 2 and Revelation 7 thru 11 so as to not blunder our way thru Scripture... like most of the "vomit" churches of this age. See Revelation 3:16. These churches and today’s society are hell bent at eliminating the name of Jesus from the culture. His name itself is Salvation. So if you can't say His name, whose side are you on! Jesus Christ is GOD! We say it every Sunday... because you don't hear it today. But alas, we have to get on with the lecture.

We are looking at the first quarter and the second quarter of the first half of the 7 year Tribulation. There are mid points to all of the quarters in this time period. So, we're going to make a stab at helping you figure out what's going on in each quadrant.

The methodology here is going to be three fold. 1) Putting things in order so we know when things happen. 2) Helping you figure out what is actually transpiring in each segment with all the questions that go along with the learning process. 3) And (this is not being taught that I've seen) we're going to discover the Omnibenevolence of Jesus Christ, Almighty God in everything He is doing in these segments.

So you're in for a treat. Your job now is to become the Bible Scholar as our pastor facilitates the study. That's what we expect of you. We know you can do it. Now open your TextBook and pull out your notepad. The advanced class starts only when you press play.
