| 1988 | According to the current Biblical timeline of history, this is the year that marks the beginning of the great tribulation period. 1988 is exactly 13,000 years from creation (11,013 BC). 1988 is also 23 years from 2011. The number 23 in the Bible is used in connection with judgment. The final demise of the nation of Israel is 23 years inclusive from 609 to 587 BC. | |
| 1994 | According to the current Biblical timeline of history, this is the year that would have marked the end of the first 2300 days of the tribulation (May 21 1988 to Sept 6, 1994). 1994 was also a Jubilee year and the Jubilee has everything to do with liberty (departing out of the corporate church). It is a time when every one was to return to their homeland (Lev 25:9-12). This is the year we believe Christ was revealed spiritually and Began the separation of the wheat from the tares. | |
| 2011 | What we believe to be a shadow year with a very good possibility for a literal end of the world. The window in view would be between May 21 to Oct 21. Shadow year because the major feast days associated with those on the calendar are currently being fulfilled today. | |
| day | The Greek word hemera <2250> and Hebrew Yowm <3117>. Very often used in the context of the last days of the great tribulation also known as the Day of the Lord. (Lu 17:22,24,26 / 1Th 5:4 / Re 6:7, 9:6). Depending on context, the day can refer to Christ (1Th 5:5, 5:8). | |
| earthquake | A usual spiritual reference to the day of judgment which is the great tribulation. Similar language includes a shaking, tremble, great earthquake. Revelation 16:8 calls it a great earthquake such as was not since men were upon the earth. Contrast that with Matthew 24:21: great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world... | |
| lamentation | Another spiritual reference to the sorrowful nature of the great tribulation. It is a time of lamenting in the same way Jeremiah lamented over the nation of Israel when God destroyed it (Am 8:10 / Ez 32:16 / La 2:5 / Mt 2:18). | |
| midnight | Similar to night. A primary spiritual reference to the dark days of the great tribulation. It is at night or midnight that the thief (Satan) comes to rob the house of God - corporate church: (Ex 12:29 / Job 34:20 / Ps 119:62). The time Christ went to the cross is also viewed as night or midnight because He endured the wrath of God for His people (Mr 14:27,30). | |

Then God brings them back from the sword while the remainder of the unsaved body continues under sorrow during the latter part of the tribulation (Joh 16:20,21 / Re 18:7). | |
| weeping | Depending on context, weeping can refer to the sorrowful nature of the great tribulation. It is a sad time when God turns His back on His own people where salvation is no more (Jer 50:4, 31:15, 9:10). Another form of weeping has to do with believers grieving over the demise of the church in the same way Jeremiah lamented over Israel (Ez 32:16 / Re 18:9). | |
