“THE GREAT
TRIBULATION” or “GREAT TRIBULATION”?
While we can
understand a Christian’s zeal to impress upon the unsaved, indeed the
saved, as
to the horrific seven years of God’s wrath to be poured out on the
earth, by
referring to these years as the great tribulation (New King
James Version),
but as we shall see, God’s words need no embellishments and
subtractions
by Rome.
Yes, I know, when we all
speak, we say “the great
tribulation” in referring to the time after the rapture, however, this
is not a
reason to change God’s perfect and inerrant written words of the
Authorized
Bible.
Only Rome wants to change
it, so they can change
whatever else in the Bible … just to show, that if they can change the
bread
and the grape juice into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ … WHICH
THEY CAN’T! … then Rome should be able to change the scriptures
whenever
and how ever they like.
Remember Dear Reader, The
New King James is Rome’s
Bible for the Christian. Satan does not always ride into a church with
pitchfork, pointy ears and with an arrow shaped tail. No Dear Reader, Rome’s
mantra is always “Slowly, slowly, and without too much zeal.” Oh! And
what
better “It’s the King James Bible and it’s new!”
Dear Reader, it looks like
a King James Bible but
Rome has put the vacuum cleaner through it, so that the dumb Christian
can’t
tell the difference! They have centuries of practice with this approach
… with
thousands of changes!
THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE
(Christian) |
THE NEW KING JAMES |
Revelation 7:14 (Authorized
Bible) (the words of Jesus) |
Revelation 7 :14 (NKJV) And I said to him, "Sir,
you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the
great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb. (NOT the words of
Jesus) |
Matthew 24:21 (The
Authorized Bible) |
Matthew 24 :21 (NKJV) (Rome)
For then there will be great
tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world
until this time, no, nor ever shall be. |
Now,
Christians do suffer tribulation, indeed tribulations, as Paul says And not
only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation
worketh patience; (Romans 5:3).
However, the study
of the context shows that
our troubles and tribulations are not about great tribulation
or great
tribulations. No, great tribulation is a specific time of God’s
seven-year wrath.
Furthermore, if the NKJV is
correct, why does it disagree
with itself, with the Matthew verse, spoken by Jesus Christ, simply
having the
phrase as “great tribulation”?
With the NKJV there is no
internal reliability.
The NKJV contradicts itself!
Why should the NKJV differ
from the Authorized
Bible? In a word – Rome!
The NKJV simply reveals
itself as having Rome’s
filthy hands all over it. Rome has deliberately changed the phrase
“great
tribulation” to “the great tribulation” to cause controversy.
The real reason this is
done, is to have Christians
simply to question the King James Bible. Satan uses the oldest trick in
the
book every time with the “Yea, hath God said?” (Gen 3:1).
It is good to have a zeal,
but when it comes to
studying God’s words, we must let it be a zeal according to knowledge
(Rom
10:2).
Furthermore, as we are
followers of Paul as he
follows Christ (1Cor 11:1), it behoves us all to follow Paul’s
injunctions,
indeed commandments (1Cor 14:37), when he states
“Now I beseech you,
brethren, by the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that
there be no
divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together
in the
same mind and in the same judgment.” (1Corinthians 1:10).
