The Seven Years That Will Shake the Earth
Tribulation, Rapture, and the Time of Jacob’s Trouble
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time…”
— Matthew 24:21
There is a period coming that will split time in two.
It will shake the heavens.
Split the nations.
And test the hearts of men.
The Bible doesn’t call it “a bad season.”
It calls it The Tribulation.
Seven years of global deception, destruction, and divine wrath.
But before that hour begins, another mystery must unfold.
The Church will vanish.
Trumpets will sound.
And the world will be left behind.

Where Do We Get Seven Years From?
It starts in the Book of Daniel — the prophetic backbone of Revelation.
“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week…” (Daniel 9:27)
That “week” is a week of years — seven years total.
It’s the final segment of the 70 weeks (490 prophetic years) appointed to Israel.
69 of those weeks ended with Christ’s first coming.
The last is yet to come.
And it begins when a “he” — the Antichrist — confirms a covenant with many.
That’s the trigger.
⸻
The Two Halves of Hell on Earth
The seven years are split into two halves:
1.
First 3.5 Years – False Peace
A charismatic world leader rises
A covenant is made with Israel
The Third Temple is likely rebuilt
Global systems begin merging under one authority
Peace is preached, but it’s a setup
“By peace he shall destroy many…” (Daniel 8:25)
2.
Last 3.5 Years – Great Tribulation
The Antichrist breaks the covenant
He sits in the temple and declares himself God (2 Thess. 2:4)
The mark of the beast is enforced
Wrath is poured out — seals, trumpets, bowls
The world descends into supernatural chaos
“Woe to the inhabiters of the earth…” (Revelation 12:12)
This final period is also called “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7) — not the Church’s trouble. Because the Church is no longer on Earth.
⸻
The Rapture: Escape or Fantasy?
The word “rapture” doesn’t appear in English Bibles — but the event absolutely does.
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up…” (1 Thess. 4:17)
The phrase “caught up” is harpazó in Greek — violently snatched, seized.
In Latin, it became rapturo — where we get “rapture.”
This is when Jesus calls His bride home.
“I will keep thee from the hour of temptation…” (Revelation 3:10)
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath…” (1 Thess. 5:9)
The Church is not present after Revelation chapter 3.
From chapter 4 onward, the focus shifts to Israel, the nations, and the judgments of God.
Because the bride has been taken.
The wedding is underway.
⸻
So When Does the Rapture Happen?
There are debates — pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib.
But the pattern of Scripture consistently shows:
Noah was lifted above the flood
Lot was taken out before judgment fell
Enoch was caught up before the flood came
God always removes the righteous before He unleashes wrath.
And Jesus said:
“As it was in the days of Noah… so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matthew 24:37)
The world will be eating, drinking, buying, selling — until the righteous are taken.
And then?
Everything changes.
⸻
Why It Matters Now
The world is already rehearsing.
Global covenants are being signed
Temple preparations are complete
AI is preparing to “speak” on behalf of the Beast
Economic control systems are nearly active
Apostasy in the Church is widespread
The rapture won’t be announced.
It will be sudden.
Violent.
And irreversible.
The time to prepare isn’t when the Beast rises.
It’s now.
Seven years will change everything.
The question is — will you watch it from Earth?
Or from the marriage supper of the Lamb?
My leaving is in God’s hands, but I’m certain I will leave in the hands of His angels.
I refuse to take the mark of the Beast. I refuse the Beast’s will. I live for God’s will & glory.
I know who I am and I have my fire insurance. God will come for me when it’s my turn.
