The First Three and a Half Years (Part 3)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES   Dr. Gonzalez explains that the Tribulation period does not necessarily begin right after the Rapture occurs. Many prophecy scholars agree that there will be a relatively short interval of time between the Rapture and the beginning of the Tribulation. The Tribulation will begin when Israel signs a treaty with the Antichrist, the leader of the confederation of Western nations, the revived Roman Empire. God’s judgments begin when Christ breaks the seals of the scroll spoken of in Revelation chapters 5 and 6. In Matthew 24:4-8, Jesus Christ speaks of the judgments that will be found during the first three and a half years of the Tribulation. He describes them as the beginning of labor pains. John details these judgments as he describes the seal judgments in Revelation 6:2-17. During today’s message, Dr. Gonzalez will be discussing the third, fourth, and fifth seal judgments.     Today’s podcast is brought to you by Time in the Word.
