Handbook for Tribulation Saints
Chapter 1
The Saints which are the church must pass through the great tribulation
Events have been unfolding irresistibly since the beginning of the earth to bring all things to this great climax after which there will be no more death. "…death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." I must with great care in this handbook, just as did the apostle, say "For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." Having been imprisoned three times for the gospel for a short time, I write you my perspective in this handbook.
As many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed
This book is all about worship. Rev 13:15 "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." The worship of self in conjunction with all those who do the same, the principal one being Satan himself. Or on the other hand the worship of God the Creator in unselfishness even as God has shown himself unselfish in the giving of himself and His Son: the giving by the Son Jesus of himself that he might populate the glorious everlasting Kingdom. Around this great indispensable requirement for fellowship and participation in the everlasting kingdom has swirled the destiny of every soul who has ever lived from Adam to you and I.
Everyone who has ever lived who did not respond to the voice of God pleading with them in their inner man to come to him, but selfishly shrugged it off and resisted this call, were weighed in the meticulous, impartial scale of justice by our great awesome Creator and Governor of the Universe who was forced to find them as enemies of the everlasting Kingdom and will therefore, of necessity, cast them into Hell and the Lake of Fire.
The Bible is very clear about God not having respect of persons as we read in Col. 3:25 "But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons." and in I Pet 1:17 "And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear…" It can be said as the Everlasting Kingdom is inaugurated that God treated every individual of all mankind who have ever lived without partiality, whether king or remote savage. The Great white throne judgment will clarify this. Rev. 20 declares: "…I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire…"
With this reality everyone is given the proper meaning for life. All men worship at the throne of God or selfishly at the altar of their own making. Roman 1 says: "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections…" Every man knew God but these rejected Him.
