I. INTRODUCTION

Ps. 16:7-11

7 I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the

night seasons. 8 I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand

I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also

will rest in hope. 10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your

Holy One to see corruption. 11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is

fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. NKJV

II. AT THAT TIME MICHAEL SHALL STAND UP

A. One of the Chief Princes - Dan. 10:13

heaven.

Rev. 12:7-9 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the

dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a

place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out,

that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he

was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. NKJV

2 Thess. 2:7-9 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who

now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless

one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth

and destroy with the brightness of His coming. NKJV

Rev. 13:7-8 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome

them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All

the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. NKJV

But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might

fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time

and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. (Rev. 12:

14)

He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall

persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change

times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time

and times and half a time. (Dan. 7: 25)

Then I heard the man clothed in linen,…swore by Him who lives

forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when

the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21)

Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (Matt 24:15)

"from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the

abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. (Dan.

12:11)

"After the 62 weeks Messiah shall be cut off…and the people of the

prince who is to come shall destroy the city…The end of it shall be with

a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined. Then he

shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of

the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice... on the wing of

abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the

consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate."

(Dan. 9:26-27)

"…they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the

daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. (Dan

11:31)

Then I heard a holy one speaking…"How long will the vision be,

concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the

giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?"

(Dan. 8:13)

3. Jesus' teaching on the Great Tribulation.

"For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been from

the beginning of creation which God created until this time, nor ever

shall be. (Mark 13:19)

beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matt.

24:21)

darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from

heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. (Matt. 24:29)

"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will

be hated by all nations for My name's sake. (Matt. 24:9)

"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and

on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves

roaring; (Luke 21:25)

In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have

overcome the world." (John 16:33)

4. John in the book of Revelation

Behold, a great multitude…of all nations, saying, 10. "Salvation belongs

to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 13. Then one of

the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these …and where did they

come from?" 14. He said to me, "These are the ones who come out of

the great tribulation…(Rev. 7: 9-14)

5. Old Testament prophets

Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is the time of

Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. (Jer. 30:7)

"At that time Michael shall stand up….and there shall be a time of

trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time.

(Dan. 12: 1)

6. First Old Testament prophesy of the Great Tribulation

"And the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left

few in number among the nations where the LORD will drive you. 28.

"And there you will serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and

stone…29. "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you

will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

30. "When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in

the latter days, when you turn to the LORD your God and obey His voice

(Deut. 4:27-30)

V. CHASTISEMENT UNTO DELIVERANCE

A. Jer. 30:7 Alas! For that day is great, So that none is like it; And it is the time of

Jacob's trouble, But he shall be saved out of it. NKJV

B. Zech. 14:1-2 Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, And your spoil will be

divided in your midst. 2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against

Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished.

Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be

cut off from the city. NKJV

C. Zech. 12-14

D. Joel 3

E. Rev. 16:13 –19:21

VI. THE GREAT RESURRECTION

A. The Great Shout - John 5:25-30 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming,

and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who

hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son

to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also,

because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in

which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth -- those

who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to

the resurrection of condemnation. NKJV

B. The resurrection of the righteous and the resurrection of the wicked take place at

two separate times. The first at the beginning of the millennium and the second at

the end of the millennium.

Rev 20:4-6 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was

committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for

their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast

or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands.

And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the

dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first

resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over

such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of

Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. NKJV
