What Will Happen The Day After The Rapture? | The Return of Jesus | Jentezen Franklin

He took the sins of the world, He took our judgment and He says I have not appointed you to wrath, I've appointed you to glory, I've appointed you to heaven, I've appointed you to eternal life. Together we're inspiring people to live for Jesus. If you're looking for more in life, to live with purpose and peace, to make a difference for your family and those in need around the world, Jesus is the answer and our mission is to simply point you to Him. You're watching Kingdom Connection with Jetson Franklin. So I want you to see in verse 15 of Revelation chapter 6 and the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave, every free man hid themselves in the caves and the rocks and the mountains and said to the mountains and the rocks, fall on us, hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb for the great day of His wrath has come and who is able to stand. The wrath of the Lamb is signifying the fact that the church has been taken out and now judgment will come upon this earth in a way that we cannot imagine. And in case you think that I am over-exaggerating what the Bible prophesies and predicts will happen right after the coming of Jesus Christ, I want you to hear the words of Christ Himself. If you can't believe everything He says, you can't believe anything. And in Matthew chapter 24 and verse 21, He said, and then shall come, there shall be great tribulation. The great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time nor ever shall be. Jesus Himself said there is coming a time that will come upon this earth after His return and the rapture of the church that it will be called terrible. It's known as the tribulations. And I want to tell you exactly what the Scripture says. John was shown a vision and he tells exactly what will happen, but I wanted to know that Jesus Himself said a great tribulation is coming such as the world has never seen. But He wasn't the only one. Then in the words of Jeremiah the prophet, Jeremiah 36 and 7, He sees a man in a vision who is laboring like a woman in travail. And He says, this is that day that is great so that none is like it. He's saying the same thing. Even the time, notice the wording, of Jacob's trouble. Jacob was

the man in the Bible whose name was changed by God to Israel. So what He's saying is this will be seen as Israel's time of trouble. The nation of Israel will be facing trouble like they have never ever had to deal with. Jacob's trouble. Israel's trouble. And then in one more, in Daniel 12 and verse 1, and in that day, Michael, who is the archangel of battle. He's a battle angel. He's found over and over and over in the Scriptures. He's a mighty angel. The great prince which standeth for the children of thy people. That's the, that's the nation of Israel. There shall be a time of trouble such as never since. Now these men, these men lived centuries and decades and hundreds of years apart and every one of them prophesied the same thing. That something will come and Jesus Himself said it is the great tribulation. Now I want to take you to that and what the Bible predicts. John was called up and in Revelation chapter 6 beginning with verse 1 he says, and I saw a lamb open the seals and I heard the noise of thunder. Thunder is the noise of a coming storm. He said, I was in heaven. I saw the lamb break the seal off of a book and I heard the sound of thunder like a storm that was a terrible, terrible storm that was coming on the earth. When I saw the lamb open the seal, I heard the noise of thunder and four beasts saying, come and see. And he said, when I looked Look, I saw one who sat on a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow and a crown, and he went forth conquering and to conquer." You see, this is the beginning of four horses that he will see in this vision. It's called and known as the four horses of the apocalypse. And notice the first one is a white horse, and on it is a world conqueror. And he has a bow, which is a symbol of war, and he is conquering and, listen to it, will conquer, which means he's gonna do what no other army and no other leader of nations has ever done.

He will conquer the entire planet. He will do it. Who is that? It's the Antichrist. Well, I thought Jesus rode on a white horse. He will, but remember this, the Antichrist, the Antichrist, he copies everything. That's why he's Antichrist. He wants to be Christ. And he will ride on a white horse in the vision because he wants to be Christ. He has an unholy trinity. You have the holy trinity, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. The unholy trinity, according to the book of Revelation, would be Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet. Imagine when the trumpet sounds, and millions, perhaps billions of people will leave this planet. Instantly, the economies will crash. Instantly, there will be a devastation on a level we cannot even comprehend or understand. And the Bible describes the world as like a stirring sea that's in a storm. And out of that unrest will come a mighty leader. He will absolutely cause the ability, he'll have the ability to take over. He'll form a coalition of 10 nations. Now, I want you to see it. He's riding on a horse, and he has a boat. He will be a mighty warrior,

and he will have an army that will take over. But there is coming a world conqueror, and he will be the Antichrist. And then, instantly, the second horse appeared. He said that another seal was broken in Revelation 6, in verse 3. And the second seal, I saw a beast say, come and see. And there went another horse, and it was the red horse. And it was red because it speaks of blood. And to him was given the power to take peace from the earth. The power was given unto him that men should kill one another. And there was given unto him, listen to the wording, a great sword. So when this devil-inspired leader comes on the white horse, immediately following will come the red horse of war and blood. And that he will take over, and he will be given a great sword. I believe that that could be nuclear warfare, atomic warfare, laser warfare, biological warfare, cyber warfare. All of this, the spirit of Antichrist will come because there will be no prince of peace on the earth anymore. He will set up a one currency system because the economies will fail. The American dollar will fail.

All of the economies of the world will fail. That's when he will institute the mark of the beast, according to the book of Revelations. And men cannot buy and sell without the mark of the beast. It will all happen, one currency, one government. He will rule, he will reign, he will take over. Nations will lose their independence. That's why America is so important because as long as there's a superpower that still is preaching the gospel and believes this book, I'm telling you, the Bible said in Thessalonians, the second Thessalonians, that the church is the restraining factor of why the Antichrist cannot come on the scene. I'm telling you, when the church is taken out, when the power of God lives and the world spirit of Antichrist takes over, he will begin to move with military power. And then there is the third seal. The third seal is talked about in verse five and six. He said, I heard a voice say, come and see. And he said, lo, a black horse. And he that sat upon it had a set of scales or balances in his hand. And he's crying out with a voice and a measure of wheat for a penny, a measure of wheat and barley. This black horse is the black horse of famine. And the reason that he has a scale is because it...

is being measured out because there is a shortage of food. The Bible teaches that food will be carefully weighed and measured during the Great Tribulation. That food will be rationed and there will be a severe shortage of food. That there will be perpetual hunger all over the world. People will hunger and they will not be able to get food unless they take the mark of the beast. This sounds absurd, but up until our lifetime, there was no way that every person could be tracked. There was no way that a simple digital card could be put in your body and that mark of the beast would be upon you in that way. The technology is now here. The black horse that rides across the world is famine and the famine will be severe. So you will have the Antichrist, you will have wars, and then you will have famine, and then lastly, the fourth seal, he said, come and see, and he said, I saw a pale horse, the color of death. And he said, on that horse sat death, and notice it said, and hell followed him. So I want you to understand it's a chain reaction. The white horse bringing the Antichrist, just as soon as the church is taken out, the Antichrist will come, the hoof prints of the first horse will go across the earth, and then the Antichrist, the red horse, the chain reaction of war,

and after that, the black horse of famine, and then after that, death. The Bible actually predicts that one-fourth of the population, billions of people, will die from the wars and the famines and the disease. Many of the epidemics that happen in a time of war kills as many as the war itself. Notice that death and hell are together on this horse because death claims the body, but hell claims the spirit. God is saying you can't imagine the pain, the sorrow, the great tribulation that is coming upon the world. Then it predicts, and I don't have time to show you every verse, floods and earthquakes and famines and pestilence. In Revelation 6 and verse 9, it says that the Antichrist will have a chosen method of execution for any and every person who will not take the mark of the beast. If you're left behind, if you are not called up, if you miss the rapture, you can be saved. There will be no preachers. At least this one won't be here. There will be no church services like this. It will be outlawed. There will be one world religion. There will be one currency. There will be one world leader. And anyone who does not bow to his God, they will pay the ultimate price, and his chosen method is given that he will behead them.

And if you are left behind, you say, well, I'll just wait and get saved in the great tribulation and live for the Lord then. If you can't live for the Lord now, if you can't live for the Lord with your belly full and a nice house and a car and a good church and in an atmosphere of people praying for you and Christians loving you, if you can't live for the Lord now, are you kidding me? When they're cutting people's heads off, you say, oh, I don't believe that. You see the spirit of Antichrist in the world today. It's happening just like the Scripture said. But what happens when the seventh seal is broken, according to Revelation 9 and 1, and I saw a star fall from heaven. Who is that? That's Lucifer. And to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit and there rose out smoke of a great furnace. The sun, the air was darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit and there came out of the smoke locusts. He's trying to describe what he's seeing. He's saying, I saw Lucifer cast down to the earth and he goes to the bottomless pit and he opens up a portion of hell that has never been opened, that demons have been held for, since the time they've sided with Lucifer,

certain ones, they will be released upon the earth. And he said, they will look like locusts, but they will have the sting of a scorpion and that sting will last for five months and men will cry out and say, just let me die. I'm in perpetual, continual, agonizing pain like one sting of a scorpion. scorpion, but all over their body for five months, no remedy, no help. How do you know the church is not going through the tribulation? Because Revelation chapter 3 and verse 10, God speaking to the church said, because you have kept My word, I will keep you in the hour of temptation that shall come upon the earth. In Revelation 4 and verse 1, He says, I looked and I saw an open door in heaven and a trumpet said, Come up here. Do you know that Lot, the Bible said, the angel came to Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah and said, you and your family, I cannot bring judgment until you and your family get out. And Jesus said, as it was in the days of Lot, it'll be when I come again. In other words, before judgment comes, I'm going to take my church, my people out. You say, I don't wanna go. I love it too much here. Then you have no concept of how wonderful heaven is. If you could see, as a matter of fact,

Romans chapter 8 and verse 18 said, I reckon that this present suffering is not to be compared, not to be worthy to compare to the glory that will be revealed to us. You just wait. In other words, nobody's gonna carry a chip on their shoulder when they go into heaven, talking about, I don't understand why I had to. Once you get to heaven, the glory will be so great. You won't remember the tears. You won't remember the pain. You won't remember the sorrow. As a matter of fact, I feel like preaching. As a matter of fact, God said, I will wipe every tear from their eyes. The first thing that'll happen when you get to heaven is God will say, no more tears, no more sorrow, no more pain, no more death. Welcome home, and it'll be a reunion with others who have gone before us. Take a praise break. It's real, hallelujah, he's coming again. Somebody praise him like you believe it. I'm almost done. But in 1 Thessalonians chapter one and verse 10, it says, that's why we eagerly await for the son from heaven. Even Jesus, whom he raised from the dead, listen to these beautiful words,

who delivered us from the wrath to come. What's that? That's the great tribulation. When did he deliver us, and why would he deliver us? Because he took our wrath on the cross. That's why the cross ought to move you, because he took our punishment. He took our judgment. He took our sins, and on the cross, that's why they so beat him, that he looked like a bloody mess. He was torn to pieces like a plowed field. He took the sins of the world. He took our judgment, and he says, I have not appointed you to wrath. I've appointed you to glory. I've appointed you to heaven. I've appointed you to eternal life. I said eternal life. I want to throw up Romans 13 and 11. I'll close with this, and that knowing the time, now it's high time to awake out of sleep. Turn to somebody and say, wake up. Tell them again, shake them a little bit. Say, wake up. It's high time. Do you believe we're in that time prophetically? Do you believe we're in that time spiritually? It's high time to awake out of sleep for now. This is a reference to the coming of the Lord.

Is our salvation nearer than what we believe? Now watch this next part. The night is far spent. The day is at hand. Let us therefore, here's instructions. If you are living in the day of the coming of the rapture and the coming of the Lord, he says, cast off the works of darkness. Put on the armor of light. Tell your neighbor, say, wake up and get up. You know, when the alarm clock goes off, you still got to get up. You can't keep punching it. You can't keep hitting. You got to get up. So I don't know what's happened to you. I don't know how bad things are going for you, but I just came with a word. Number one, wake up. There's a better day coming. Oh, he's going to wipe every tear for him. and he's gonna give us joy like we have never known but wait a minute don't just wake up but tell somebody besides you get up get up in your spirit and then I got one more for you dress up he said put on the armor of light I got one more for you look up God never tells his people to have their head down in the valley and in the circumstances in the sorrows he says look up look up into the heels from which cometh your health look up Jesus is coming look up your redemption draweth near even at the door
