Jesus Shows Us The Great Tribulation

[Hearing this] the king was infuriated; and he sent his soldiers and put those murderers to death and burned their city. Matthew 22:7


Jesus tells us here of the Great Tribulation. The time when our Father pours His wrath out on the wicked of this world.


And [how you] look forward to and await the coming of His Son from heaven, Whom He raised from the dead--Jesus, Who personally rescues and delivers us out of and from the wrath [bringing punishment] which is coming [upon the impenitent] and draws us to Himself [investing us with all the privileges and rewards of the new life in Christ, the Messiah]. 1 Thessalonians 1:10


But by your callous stubbornness and impenitence of heart you are storing up wrath and indignation for yourself on the day of wrath and indignation, when God's righteous judgment (just doom) will be revealed. Romans 2:5


There is coming a time when our Father will come and punish those who have mistreated the Bride. We have always been used to tell the Truth and we have always been mistreated for it. There will come a time when our Father says enough and comes and takes care of business and puts and end to the mistreatment of His Son’s Bride.


That being said let me ask you a question here, what did Jesus do to those who mistreated Him? He asked for their forgiveness as they were killing Him. What does Jesus tell us to do to those who mistreat us? He tells us to forgive them, to pray for them, and to bless them. Jesus tells us to continually do these things to those who mistreat us and who even kill us. The guests will reap what they sow, yet the glorious Truth is that they will be forgiven and summoned to the Wedding Feast of the Bride. They may not be part of the Bride, but they will be guests, just wait to see what Jesus tells us later in this parable.


Our Father is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He never changes. Jesus forgave the unworthy guests when He was on the Cross and He will forgive the unworthy guests who followed those who killed Him. Only those who commit Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. This is such a great topic of study and I pray that the Holy Spirit will lead you into it. The Truth is that the Kingdom of Heaven will be filled with an uncountable number of guests who have been forgiven.
