Trials and Tribulations.

(This article has seaming redundancies. We have used multiple parables and examples, new and old to show the congruency of scriptures saying the same thing in many different ways, so that it cannot be said things are taken out of context. Be forewarned, this may challenge your current understanding of God’s plan of Salvation spoken first by the prophets and confirmed (in us) by those who heard it!)

What are Trials and Tribulations?

There is much talk in Christian circles of “The Great Tribulation” as a gospel message as having to do with the end of the world. But to understand tribulations is to know first what trials and tribulations are for because many seekers believe that the Great Tribulation is a time at the end of the world AFTER “believers” have been taken out, and or “raptured”. And then the world faces a judgment during what they call The Great Tribulation. However this view is not correct.

The etymology of the word “tribulation” is  from ecclesiastical Latin tribulatio(n-), from Latin tribulare, to ‘press, or oppress’, from tribulum to mean a ‘threshing board (constructed of sharp points)’, based on terere, to ‘rub’ together.

So the word “tribulation” refers to a threshing and a separation process as seen further here with the etymology of “threshing”.  the process of loosening the edible (desirable) part of grain (or other crop) from the straw to which it is attached.

And in our case with the gospel, it is the process of loosening believers from their co-dependencies on the persuasive world agencies with protections, coverings, health, wealth and safety mechanisms that falsely make people feel safe because each one of these worlds services, competes with our provisions given to us, free for the taking. Instead of taking God at His word, they’d rather make monthly payments to their agencies who are their providers. This is all hidden in plain sight and laced throughout their documents. That they are impersonators of Gods provisions, and people love to have it so because it is more tangible than the gospel. The Gospel has things cryptically displayed for our retrieval, even as with Jacobs coat of many colors, which re-presents Christs blood stained garments that were torn and divided and distributed to His ruthless murders. So too today with the multiple savings and saviors, there is a great cover up, of which we go into great detail, to expose them that you may be covered by The Savior, and not by the great cover-up of demigods of this age who have vowed to be all in as they did in the days of Noah. That “22 false christs (plural) and false prophets (plural) will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

This can be related to scripture through the parable of The Sower as seen here from Matthew 13. 18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom (of God at hand), and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart (and offers them something more tangible). These are those who received seed by the wayside. 20 But those who received the seed on stony places, this the ones who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet have no root in themself, but endures only for a while. For when TRIBULATION, hardship or persecution arises, they immediately he stumbles. 22 Now those who received seed among the thorns are those who hear the word, and the cares of this world (AS STILL BEING IN AND OF THE WORLD) and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and they becomes unfruitful. 23 But those who received seed on the good ground are those who hear the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

Tribulations true meaning.

So Tribulations are trials that can be in non-turbulent times. Like testing a new product under normal circumstances to see if it works as designed. Whereas final judgments take place after the testing, tribulation period, have to do with the destruction of failed products and prototypes that did not pass the tests. However upheavals do increase with time to wake people up to get on board with the true gospel (good news and real hope) through repentance and faith in Christ and come out from underneath the gods of this age. But after the threshing comes the judgment as the burning of the unwanted product. So then when Noah and family entered the Ark, the judgment and destruction commenced because the threshing, testings and product trials and tribulations were over.

Global Warming is one of Gods tools used for the separation, trials and tribulation process, has having to do with categorizing people for different types of saving, or savings, for this is a grossly misunderstood word.

It is unfortunate for people today to have bought into the lie of global warming, because it is the catastrophes of such that are designed by God for correcting humanity from wayward ways as part of the separation process. Meaning that the whole focus of people is on erroneously “saving the planet”. This is a distraction for in truth they are doing so to the detriment to their wayward and un-saved souls. That is the wrong saving. This is a counterfeit saving meant to distract you and to compete with the gospel the One true salvation (meaning saving) of the human souls. This is the gospel, faith in Christ the One and Only Saving that counts and works. And the ones as having to do with the www. all seeing eye in the sky called the internet as opposed to the outer and the highest, is because the internet is a collection of mediums as segway stations meant to keep people ground bound and looking down as they steal peoples affections presenting new gods and demigods meant to trap all that despise the One True gospel by doing so. You have been warned. This is the sifted and the threshing and the tribulation before the storm we call judgement and extinction. Even as with Noah, they scoffed at such a notion until it was too late. But when the Ark was shut, so too the Gospel message invitation was too. This is why the timeless mandate went out to “come out my people lest you partake of her sins and receive of her judgments”. There is only ONE SAVIOR and SAVING. For that you have to go to scripture to retrieve your “Jacobs Coat of many colors” as pictured in Christ as His garment divided and stolen, broken down into various little saviors and cures that have to do with the internet provider/saviors. Your ceremonial confession of Christ is just that, another religious ceremony if you don’t get this. You have been warned!

It is the soul that is in peril and needing to be saved, not the world or creation like with “global warming” which is a monstrous lie. Christ was already sent into the world to save it (John 3.16).  We can save the world, like we can lift ourselves up by pulling on our own shoes laces. All the news and the distractions are meant to keep you spell bound and looking down and spiritually running for cover by fear. What was the first thing Adam felt when he saw that he was not covered? Fear! And with the fig leaf the snake was empowered. How many frail and feeble leafs, parchments, contracts, terms and conditions have you put on to protect you from your fears?

Creation is a tool of God.

Creation itself cannot be bad to need to be saved, for it only treats and reflects the conditions of the hearts of a people who live on it. But not to pump up global warming because most of what is presented is over embellished for obedience, financial gain, and power over the godless and fearful hearted and becomes a god you serve by doing so.

The catastrophes are judgments from the Creator God against the inhabitants for wayward thinking and the behavior it produces. And yes there are monstrous abuses. But that is a testimony again of a Creator as seen with the supposed “water shortages” to then have lakes and reservoirs fill back up in one season, so don’t be fooled. Global warning is a lie in a series of lies meant to have people focused on anything but The Gospel Message of The Cross of The Christ, the Only Begotten of The Father full of Grace and Truth.

If you remember, it was Adam and Eve who after biting into that lie, first felt naked needing to respond. It is this feeling of nakedness that exposes all of our weaknesses where we have not received God’s coverings for ourselves as laid out in scripture like “I will never leave you or forsake you. So if you feel forsaken, maybe you are under another provider, and our God is a jealous God visiting the inequities of the fathers to the third and the forth generation to those that despise Him”. And this is measured by where you put your trust. In your God or in your monthly payments.

It is the service providers of the world that have blinded people spiritually, who pilfer and profit off of any and all calamities, especially “Global warming”. The media is mediums, invisible forces expose your nakedness and need for protection and coverings, and then have commercials for you to buy into the lies. Kinda like Adam and Eve with the fig leaves. Leaves like dollars. “In God we trust?” I don’t think so. Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver in his day. How much will we pay today??

Just as a fruit bearing tree have seasons, so too humanity and nations have their production cycles. As with the parable of the fruit trees. The workers were instructed to dig about the roots to water them and fertilize them for another chance. Then if there is no fruit, the workers were instructed to, cut the trees down and burn them. Burning them was not a tribulation or a testing time but a judgement a harvest that failed to convert. “38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

So we ask you as God asked Adam after he ate the apple “where are you?” And we are talking about what the apple represents to many today who bite into the lies by those mediums who give people seemingly godlike powers. (For more on this, read Isaiah 8)

So then the difference between a tribulation and a judgement. A judgement is more like a court room judges final verdict and conviction as seen again here from The Revelation 7.14 “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes (coverings and service providers) and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Because a”Great Tribulation” is a harvest time for an era or age and not the end of the world as many try to super-impose upon those text. And we can say this with certainly because the law and the prophets age was condemned and is over because “not one stone shall be left upon another” happened, and as it was written “28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom”, was said to them back then as being the failure of the “old covenant” way of doing things and why it is “fulfilled”, like an opened and closed book to never again return to that wayward way. We say this tearfully because the condition of the main body of churches today believe in a revived Jerusalem of old. But then God would owe them an apology, but that’s not going to happen. Another version of another Jerusalem is the sign that the gospel today is deserving the same treatment from God as them. As Christ said of Judaism “7 Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Have you come out??….

That was The Testimony of a production line that did not convert. So that now, because of that, we have “a new and living way to the Father”. The Old Covenant couldn’t do that, and today believers appear to have returned to the old instead of converting.

The Old way just created servants to be Lorded over. However we view God in a different light as our Father. The old Covenant could not produce images of God. And from one generation after another, there have been these trials and Tribulations and creation goes on and on with harvests called “fullness of times”. That’s why the disciples were called first fruits of The New Covenant, so we would have a picture of the fruit and the final product.

For even the book of The Revelation” itself was referring to a harvest period back then, as we can be certain by the opening and closing verses of that book that states “do not to seal the prophecies of this book for the time is at hand” for them back then. And the proof of that book being for them back then is that it spoke of a release of Satan for more destruction of an inversion from conversions, to those who look for another coming, second coming Christ “with all lying signs and wonders” like we see today.

So these upheavals are designed by our Father, to have you get on board, in New Will and Testament terms, for safety, not of an Ark as with Noah, but of what the covenant the Ark and the Ark of the Covenant pictured for us. For us to get on board and in our Ark/Ship of safety called ‘The New Covenant” founded on better promises” than the Old as being our Father’s safe place for us to be. That is why we say we are “in Christ”. That He is our Ark, our covenant and safe place to be “in Christ”. Unlike the Old Covenant/Testament that only refers us to “the New and living way to the Father”. We refer to as being “in Christ” and being in the New Testament Ark and Covenant as our place of safety and security against all the lies and ailments the gods of this age hurl at us through the soft and hard tests of life in the flesh we call tribulations

Even as Christ taught the disciples about tribulations that “33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me (being in the Word of God and not of the world John 1.1) you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulations; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Hereby showing us first to be found “in Him”, and that tribulations can happen anytime and anywhere and to believers too. Why? Because this is the method the Father uses to “separate the wheat from the tares” and the goats from the sheep, to be in Christ or in the worlds coverings and coverage safety mechanisms. Even as Christ said that “Satan has asked to sift you as wheat, (meaning us too) and I pray your fail does not fail”. Meaning that this is a test  and what Satan’s God given purpose is like a beast on a leash with a scary bark. Your Tribulation and testing is to see who is your provider, coverages and coverings are. Is your provider God or the demigods of this age? Who have you subscribed to for safety?

And the truth be told, the flood with Noah was also analogous in that it did portray an end of God’s grace in that the unbelieving and those who did NOT enter the Ark, were destroyed. However, it was the turbulence and tribulation of trying times that tests your responses, that makes people get on board, or become more antagonistic and angry with God.

It is those of this sort that were destroyed after the tribulation trials of those products was complete, as having run out of grace from God as seen with the closing of the doors on the Ark. And like with Sodom and Gomorrah was business as usual until Lot was taken out, then the judgment. The trials and testing were over. They were eating and drinking and giving in to marriage UNTIL Lot was taken and Noah and his family had entered the Ark, because the “tribulation/testings were over, and the product over-runs that had failed and were wiped out to leave no residue but the stench of the sin they had become.

Even as with Lot and Sodom. The pleadings from Lot were the proverbial “last straw”. When the angels took him, then  the judgment was no longer pending, but immediately put in play. Showing us again the difference between trials and Tribulations, verses wipe outs and resets of a failed product.

Now, for those who have ears to hear. Whatever weight you are under of responsibilities and debt, they are all inextricably linked together, sort of like a body of edicts, but more like a(n inter-NET of capture) called the all seeing www. All seeing eye in the sky as “the prince of the power of the airwaves”. This has happened before, but this time, those who have bought in, signed up and submitted, have now become their “human shields” from judgement. The reset as having to do with “The book of The Revelation did not have this shield because of the mandate. However now because of the mandates, God’s people are so entrenched so as to need more time and more grace to get out of the internet trap of souls, one terms and conditions after another so as to be so confused, and the reason humanity has dipped deeper into turmoil. To just accept a mark of the beast was one act of full submission, as opposed to the soft sell today. But make no mistake, corporations are bodies and entities that are not of God’s creation, that are spirited from the deep. Satan was not so much released to rise above. But it is you that have put yourself under those promises of false provisions. Just ask yourself, shouldn’t there be less sicknesses, diseases and deaths with their products and services???

Therefore, here we go again. “Come out of that My people lest you be found in the trap and be delivered to the judge. You will be asked NOT why did you submit NOT to the one time chip of the beast, but to the plethora of terms and conditions for false empowerments to make yourself feel godlike and covered. The similarity in nomenclature is NOT a coincidence. “Come out of Her My people lest you partake of her sins and receive of her judgments.” This was the warning of the reset associated with the end of the Law era for the implementation of The New Covenant.

⚠️ Warning! There is a day when it will be too late to accept the gospel. Quite likely when what we say is too obvious. And don’t wait for a “Mark of the Beast” because that had to do with them back then too. Today you have the soft sell of one permission given after another till you are all sowed up in a (inter) net of coverage’s that have come between you and Heaven where God will not listen to prayers under those competing coverage’s. (If there is a promise in scripture that has the same coverage’s, and you prefer the gods of this age, you have made your choice during this testing/ tribulation time.

That is the purpose of trials and Tribulations, to see if you have truly received the gift of completeness, for salvation is a process of a restoration to godliness, or to see if you abide in the worlds safety mechanisms to complete you, of things that compete with God for the affections of your soul. The flesh can only serve your choices, and why scripture says “For by Him (our Heavenly Father) actions are weighed. And some would say, well God does not temp man”. To which we affirm however temptations of that sort have to do with addictions and weakness of character, but the gift of God raises you far above that. If you are given into temptations you are exposing yourself to the wrong things, and quite likely ignoring Gods Holy Spirit.

It is the judgment after the real tribulation and testing takes place that destroyed those in Noah’s era. Noah was NOT in the tribulation. He already passed ast that test and became a spectators, a watcher and a Holy One.

So as not to confuse judgement with tribulation which really JUST means a testing of character. Even as with Enoch who had the testimony that he was taken because he pleased God for he was taken and was not (to be found), because his testing was finished way before his physical disappearance. His last days here were as “the friend of God”.

So then the truth is Enochs covenanted relationship with the Father, having been tried and trued (being the reason we are pilgrims and sojourners,) to then have a useful ministry to all who would hear him before he was taken.

So then to believe in and abide in Gods word, qualifies us as being in the ark because that is what the ark of the covenant portrays as “abiding in Christ”, and wearing the promises of God in the spirit of our minds, the place where all the visual teaching toys have their fulfillment, from both old and New Testament teachings, and why we say that “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom (of God At Hand), but the re-spirited mind of faith does. That is our shelter from the storm, if you can believe  this without seeing. And to be a friend of God as was Enoch and the holy children with Daniel who danced during the fire. That was not a “tribulation” but God the Father parading His first fruits to an unbelieving world. However, they all passed the tests of tribulation DURING THE FIRE. The “fire had no hurt on them.

Tribulation is meant to test those claiming to be “In Christ” as separated from those who are “in and of the world”. Your test and trial of a tribulation may not be uncomfortable if you have the right mindset.

It was AFTER Noah and His family entered the ark that the floods came and destroyed that population other than those who were in the Ark. But that was not a trial or a tribulation time but a judgement, the expiration and the destruction of that age for having not produced any righteous except those in the ark who had previously been tested to earn that spot. For you see Noah and his family were the only ones who were qualified to be preserved. The rest failed and the slate was wiped clean and systems were set in place to start a new humanity. And this happened because of a judgement, not a tribulation, trial and testing period, but because the testings of character was over and those who past, were in the Ark and those who failed were not. Are you in God’s Ark and Covenant?

A “tribulation” is God turning up the heat like for water in a pan to transform it from a solid state to a vapor. That is the process that comes before judgement and may appear completely peaceful and un-important. This is what tribulation is. To put something to test the ingredients of a product. A condemnation is the rejection, even as when Cains gift was rejected, likely because of motive and not product. That to go through the actions without change of character, is a waste of your time and God’s if it hadn’t been without change of character like with the Second Coming seekers. Their gospel creates a false hope and NOT a change in character and nature. Even as the Psalmist said “Psalms 17.18

This is us “doing the works of the Father”, because we are using the tools He has given us is words. And the collection of His words is His Son. (John 1.1-3)

The synthetic transformation of godliness… Through the gods and empowerments of the age that present another form of godliness, but NOT from our Heavenly Father…

It is in the face of getting freebies of earthen empowerments from the gods of this age that equates to your tribulation/testing that has nothing to do with storms, but simply to see if you are truly in Covenant with the Father, or if there are holes in your relationships by accepting coverages from others. This is your tribulation of trying times and testing your character. “Hath God really said?” Or do you seek another” and give in to other empowerments because judgement and condemnation comes after Satan has shifted you as wheat. This is why you need to understand the difference between tribulations and judgments because a “great tribulation” is the testing of humanity and a final calculation of tested souls of those who submitted to God, or various gods and powers before the judgment comes. Then comes judgement.

This is why those during the time of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave to His servants of things that must immediately take place”, to forwarn them of their pending, looming doom. They were told to “come out of her my people lest you partake of their sins and receive of their judgments because God has remembered her (meaning Mystery Babylon).

And so for us to examine ourselves in the same way so as to make sure that we are not covenanting with the competition of the God of the Holy Scriptures that outlines His benefit package, in contrast with the gods of the age who are collecting people with contracts and monthly monthly payments. “You cannot serve God and money” or mix the two. Money is the currency and power of the day and takes your stored up labor, and turns it into currency like with electricity it is a powerment for the controllers who have God’s permission to operate in competition with the gospel to try your soul and your alegence to the provisions outlined in the gospel. “Choose you this day who you will serve”. This is your trial and tribulation for you examination as to wether you qualify as trusting God and His gospel.

So for us, if we have made the correct modifications through obedience and faith in the invisible Almighty God by His Word and Spirit, then when the heat is turned up, we have already made the modifications so as to walk through the fire much like Shadrach Meshach and Abednego who were seen dancing in the fire with no hurt on them. Because they walk in sanctification being cut off from alien powers working through them. This is true sanctification and sanctimonious.

That is how it works.

Like with any production line, before a product  is approved or put is service, it goes through trial periods to see if the product works as designed and if the manufacturing process works correctly

And of the “be of good cheer, I have overcome the world“. This is our call to be more clearly in Christ and not the world. That we put off the deeds of the flesh (that are reliant on the worlds products and provisions) and put on Christ. We are NOT waiting for another form of godliness through a rapture or after life experience because 2 Peter 2.3  says “as His divine power has (ALREADY) given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through  the knowledge of Him (NOT a Rapture)  who called us to glory by virtue,”.

Showing us the object and size of the gift already given just awaiting to be opened, recognized and learned how to use. And it is through trials and tribulations that present the opportunities to recognize what we have been given and to learn how to use it. But these trials and tribulations don’t have to be bad or painful unless you ignore your responcibilities to the gospel.

For this reason we have been called to put on Christ, one word, one concept, one revelation after another until we are found complete in Him. This is the purpose of trials, tribulations and testings. For you to get right or get left. To rise above or to get carried away by the “flood of lies”.

We have the lesson Paul. “10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

These are our tools for testings. They are trials and tribulations, and they are designed by our Father to showcase His work in us and for us in no way to fear these testings, but to prepare. That we may “shine like the stars of Heaven”. Which should be better understood as athletes at their final performances, to be able to showcase their talents. This is the purpose of trials and Tribulations, to let our Heavenly Fathers work in us, make us shine like the stars of heaven. Glory to Him who makes this all possible .Amen.
