The Great Tribulation is about to begin on Earth. The Temple will soon be made desolate. When that happens, the Jewish remnant will heed the Lord’s call from Matt. 24:15-16 and flee to a place of supernatural protection as we saw in Rev. 12. When they do, Satan’s target of opportunity will become the so-called Tribulation Saints, those who’ve come to faith in the Lord after the Rapture.

At the end of our last installment in the Book of Revelation, I promised to tell you where in Israel the next Temple will be located. So let’s get started with a little review.

Q. I have heard that the 9th of Av has been a day in Israel’s past where many historic events have happened. The 9th of Av falls on July 28 this year. In light of all the military action in Syria and Lebanon [Hezbollah] and Gaza do you feel this could be another important day coming up for Israel?

Q. Lebanon and the cedars of Lebanon are spoken of throughout the Bible. Will it continue to keep its name in the future–when Israel gets its original area given to Abraham or as when David was king–during the 1,000 year kingdom reign?

Commentary by Jack Kelley
A simple line in Mark 9:50 says so much. It’s almost a throw-away and yet when taken in light of the surrounding passage it speaks volumes. “Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”

Q. Is Zechariah 12:10 a prophecy about Christ being crucified or about His return to Earth at the second coming?
“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”

I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. What will he do to you, and what more besides, O deceitful tongue? He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree. Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar! Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

We take a break from the Trumpet Judgments now to give the world its final warnings before the Great Tribulation begins. These are the Seven Thunders and the Two Witnesses that God will send to Israel to warn His people to “get right” with Him while there’s still time. Remember, after the end of the Battle of Ezekiel 38-39, God will have brought every living Jew to Israel, leaving none behind (Ezek. 39:28).

Q. I just wanted to let you know that your writing on Psalm 66 was very endearing and very timely. We have been going thru some really rough times, in debt and with no income since Oct. We turned it over to the Lord and are not without, but we are getting close. Our small house that we feel the Lord led us to is now on the market.
However my point here is that Psalm 66 and your writing are just where we are. He has always taken care of us and always will. Why we are at this spot at our age 60 is something that we have gone over and over, but beyond that He is here always and you just brought that home to us in this Psalm. Thank you.

Between the 6th and 7th seals there’s a pause where two important events take place, one on Earth and the other in Heaven. Both involve the disposition of a group of God’s people, but neither one is the Church. It won’t be mentioned again until the end of chapter 17.
