Jeremiah 30: 5 For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Now, as we stated before in one Bible study, we are not to be overwhelmed by the threats, for we are to keep Christ ever before our faces, yet there cannot be any sugar-coating of this said time, because even God describes it as being a time of deep trouble. In words that do not flatter, the prophets describe it as a man travailing with child, and groaning as it is customary for a woman to do when in labor pain.
In another instance, the Bible says that satan will then be permitted to pull out all the stops, and will level his entire arsenal against those who refuse to bow. So, yes, that time will require a ton of bravery.
[The Great Controversy pp 622] It is often the case that trouble is greater in anticipation than in reality; but this is not true of the crisis before us. The most vivid presentation cannot reach the magnitude of the ordeal. In that time of trial, every soul must stand for himself before God.
Matthew 24:Matthew 24: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
