The Tribulation Begins (Ep. 295)

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, I pick back up in Revelation with chapter 6 after our Palm Sunday and Resurrection Day detours.We walk through the opening of the first six seals: the rise of the Antichrist on the white horse, peace giving way to war with the red horse, famine and economic collapse with the black horse, and mass death with the pale horse.We trace direct parallels with Matthew 24 and Luke 21, discuss how “peace and safety” quickly turns to global chaos, and examine the tribulation martyrs under the altar—why they cry for vengeance, what that means dispensationally, and how salvation in the Tribulation involves faith and works. We also consider the cosmic disturbances—the darkened sun, blood moon, falling “stars,” and earth-shaking quakes—and why the world will recognize God’s wrath yet refuse to repent.I close with a clear gospel appeal: if you’re saved, be grateful—you won’t face this. If you’re not, settle it today by calling on the Lord Jesus Christ.Resources mentioned: Revelation 6; Matthew 24; Luke 21; 1 Thessalonians 4–5; 2 Thessalonians 2; John 5:43; Revelation 12–13, 17, 20; Joel 2; Isaiah 11; Ezekiel 14; Genesis 6; Luke 16; Romans 3–4; James; Galatians.Catch our live sessions on Rumble (rumble.com/joerooz) and YouTube (youtube.com/@joerooz), and send questions or prayer requests via joerooz.com or email at [email protected].  Watch LIVE tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz FOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowTwitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joeroozInstagram: https://instagram.com/notjoeroozTikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.roozMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeMusic: https://youtube.com/@pogo️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
