       “AFTER THESE THINGS I LOOKED, AND   “THEN I SAW HEAVEN OPENED, AND BEHOLD,             “…HE LAID HOLD
       BEHOLD, A DOOR STANDING OPEN IN       A WHITE HORSE. AND HE WHO SAT ON HIM      OF…SATAN…AND BOUND
      HEAVEN. AND THE FIRST VOICE WHICH       WAS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE, AND IN
     I HEARD WAS LIKE A TRUMPET SPEAKING        RIGHTEOUSNESS HE JUDGES AND MAKES        HIM FOR A THOUSAND
     WITH ME, SAYING, ‘COME UP HERE, AND                                             YEARS…SO THAT HE SHOULD
     I WILL SHOW YOU THINGS WHICH MUST     WAR…AND THE ARMIES IN HEAVEN, CLOTHED
                                           IN LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN, FOLLOWED HIM    DECEIVE THE NATIONS NO
                 TAKE PLACE AFTER THIS.’   ON WHITE HORSES. NOW OUT OF HIS MOUTH      MORE TILL THE THOUSAND
         IMMEDIATELY I WAS IN THE SPIRIT;
     AND BEHOLD A THRONE SET IN HEAVEN,        GOES A SHARP SWORD, THAT WITH IT HE      YEARS WERE FINISHED…
                                             SHOULD STRIKE THE NATIONS…HE HIMSELF         AND THEY LIVED AND
           AND ONE SAT ON THE THRONE.”       TREADS THE WINEPRESS OF THE FIERCENESS       REIGNED WITH CHRIST
                               Rev. 4:1-2
                                                   AND WRATH OF ALL MIGHTY GOD.”     FOR A THOUSAND YEARS…”

         What is going to take place on the earth during the seven-year time span between the Feast of
      Trumpets and the Day of Atonement will be close to the proverbial “Hell on earth”! Jesus said there
      would be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of the world (Matt. 24:21). He told His
     followers to watch and pray always that they may be counted worthy to escape all these things and to

                                          stand before the Son of Man (Luke 21:34-36).

     FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD:                  However, when it is time for the wrath of God to be poured out on
                                                            earth, the faithful will inherit the incredible fullness of
