The Only Guaranteed Way to Escape the End-Time Catastrophes

CHAPTER 19

HOW CAN AMERICANS/BRITISH/JEWS MAXIMIZE CHANCES OF SURVIVAL

Before and in the war that leads to the defeat of the American, British and Jewish people, about two thirds of their population will be destroyed. The remaining one third will be sold as slaves around the world. Ultimately only about one tenth of those enslaved will survive the Great Tribulation. If you as an American, British or Jewish person find yourself a slave, how can you maximize your chances of surviving the Great Tribulation?

Ezekiel 5 indicates that first of all about 1/3 of the population of these nations is going to die in a nuclear attack. Then another 1/3 will die in the war that immediately follows the nuclear attack. The remaining 1/3 will be carried away captive and sold around the world as slaves. Ultimately only 1/10 of their population will survive. It is not clear whether 1/10 of the original population or 1/10th of the slave population will survive. Those are the chances for Israelites to survive the Great Tribulation. But God gives guidelines for maximizing your chances for surviving.

First of all, remember only one group in the entire world is promised protection throughout the Great Tribulation: members of God’s Church with a zealous Philadelphian attitude. Any one in the world can join God’s Church at any time and avail of this opportunity for protection. But God’s Church is not under any illusion about millions becoming members. God prophesies through Ezekiel the prophet about the attitude of Israelites to the Church’s messages in Ezekiel 33:31-33 (NKJV): “31 So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts go after their covetousness. 32 Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them. 33 And when this comes to pass--surely it will come--then they will know that a prophet has been among them."

This means that vast majority of the Israelite population will have to go through the Tribulation and national slavery. In the Tribulation, the surest way to die in it is to succumb to pressure from the Beast and the false prophet and take on the mark of the Beast and begin worshipping his image. God promises the destruction of all such people in Revelation 14:8-11 quoted earlier. Moreover, Israelites need to remember that Satan hates Physical Israelites and wants to destroy them. The beast and the false prophet may lie and promise to let them live if they take the mark of the beast and worship his image, but then put them to death anyway. And possibly before that they may be asked to murder many of their fellow Israelites to prove their loyalty to the Beast and the false prophet. They are known liars. They will leave no easy choices for Israelites. Under such circumstances the best choice is always to stay true to God and His way of life.

Thus the way to maximize your chances of survival are not to compromise with God’s way and meekly and humbly refuse to take on the mark of the beast and worship his image. Instead share your beliefs with your masters and tell them that you love them and want them to survive the Great Tribulation themselves. God in fact wants Israelites to witness to all the nations during their slavery by letting them know that they, the Israelites, are being punished for their violation of God’s laws and His Covenant (solemn agreement) with them made at the time of Moses after the Exodus from Egypt. But God is a merciful God and does forgive upon sincere repentance. Humbly tell your masters to repent along with them and seek God’s mercy to keep themselves and their families alive.

The great good news is that millions of Israelite slaves will stay true to their God, and as a result of their testimony will convert millions of other nations to the true God. This is prophesied in Revelation 7:9 (NKJV): “9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" Then verse 14 "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” meaning they have repented of their sins.

Israelites Reward for Service to God

God has promised all the Israelite nations a great reward for this service during their slavery in the Great Tribulation. Revelation 7 and 14 mention 144,000 of the tribes of Israel that are sealed at the end of two and a half years of the Great Tribulation. They went through the Great Tribulation. Their sealing now assures that they will be protected during the next year, known as the Day of the Lord when God’s wrath and vengeance is poured out on all nations of the world. These 144,000 are also called the firstfruits to God and the Lamb, or Jesus Christ, in Revelation 14:4. And the reward of the firstfruits is to be resurrected to immortal life at the return of Jesus Christ in just a few months, along with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Noah, Job, Moses, David, the prophets, the apostles and members of God’s true Church throughout its history. These were the laborers called at the eleventh hour but received the same wages as those that labored throughout the day (Matthew 20:1-16, parable of the householder).

After these 144,000, there will be many Israelites among the millions of all nations who are supernaturally protected during the last year of the Great Tribulation. They as slaves will not only have saved themselves alive through the Great Tribulation by remaining loyal to the true God, but will also have changed their masters by their teaching to become believers in the true God and saved them and their families.

Other Means of Escape

Prophecies by Ezekiel the prophet show that not all American, British and Jewish people will be enslaved. A few will escape capture as happened in ancient Judah during the Babylonian captivity. A small number will be able to escape capture by fleeing to the mountains. This is prophesied in Ezekiel 7:16-19 (NKJV): “16 'Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each for his iniquity. 17 Every hand will be feeble, and every knee will be as weak as water. 18 They will also be girded with sackcloth; horror will cover them; shame will be on every face, baldness on all their heads. 19 'They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like refuse; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of the Lord; they will not satisfy their souls, nor fill their stomachs, because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.”

So some will escape to the mountains and survive; but cold and hungry, they will be barely clinging to life when the tribulation ends. They will be mourning and repentant, and will finally be humbled before God. However, the numbers ultimately surviving the great tribulation this way will be very small.

But mountain in prophecy is also a symbol for a large nation. So escaping to the mountains could also mean escaping to friendly nations, particularly other Israelite nations such as France, Scandinavian nation, Switzerland and Benelux countries, and finding protection there. That will be the cause of the war coming also to these northwestern European nations. This way war will come to the Israelites in these nations also during the Great Tribulation, but some will still survive the Great Tribulation this way.

Some of the top leadership of our nations who help the top leader (president and prime minister) will also escape capture by fleeing to other nations. This is prophesied in Ezekiel 12:13-16: “13 I will also spread My net over him [that is the top leader of our nations], and he shall be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans [referring to the end-time Babylonian system]; yet he shall not see it [because most likely his eyes will be put out], though he shall die there. 14 I will scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them. 15 Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. 16 But I will spare a few of their men from the sword, from famine, and from pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the Gentiles wherever they go. Then they shall know that I am the Lord."

The few that escape the sword are those who warn the leaders and the people of the nations they find themselves in about what is prophesied and how they too can come out alive during the Great Tribulation.

Besides these small groups of survivors, most of Israelite nations’ population will become captive slaves, and ultimately one-tenth of the population of America and British Commonwealth nations will survive the Great Tribulation. Jesus Christ will rescue these surviving slaves when He returns. They will constitute the largest group among the ultimate survivors.

In summary then, God has provided means of surviving the Great Tribulation at every stage for the Israelite nations of America, British Commonwealth nations and the Jews worldwide.

The surest chance of escape is to not be in the Great Tribulation at all. That is possible only by being truly converted and becoming a member of God’s Church before the Great Tribulation begins and doing God’s work of preaching the good news of the Kingdom of God and His warning message to the world and overcome sin with fiery zeal, obey God’s word diligently and not deny Jesus’ name.

Besides joining God’s Church, the best means of surviving the Great Tribulation for the Americans, the British and the Jews who go into slavery is to not compromise with the German dictator and the pope. Those who accept the mark of the beast and worship his image will most likely all perish. But the best chance of survival for the slaves is to teach about the true God to their masters and leaders of the nations in which they will be sold as slaves. Even among those the best chance for survival is for those who are themselves converted and teach God’s way diligently and preach the Good News of the very soon coming Kingdom of God. About 40,000 among the slaves and about 104,000 from the other tribes of Israel (which include the French, the Scandinavians, those from Switzerland, Ireland and the Benelux countries) that is, a total of 144,000 will receive the reward as firstfruits in the Kingdom of God. They will be resurrected to immortal life at the return of Jesus Christ.

Then millions of other Israelites who repent during the first two and a half years of the Great Tribulation will also receive protection from God for the remaining one year of God’s wrath on all nations and will come out alive. Therefore, the best chance for survival during the Great Tribulation for the slaves is to be converted themselves and do God’s work of teaching their masters about the soon coming Kingdom of God so that they too can repent and be converted.

Finally, God in His mercy may keep some Israelites alive through the Great Tribulation, perhaps even some who may have been forced to and reluctantly worship idols, but not those who accepted the mark of the Beast or worshipped his image. In addition, God may save some alive who did not repent to illustrate that even though they survived the Great Tribulation, they will not make it to the holy land because of their still rebellious attitude.

This is indicated in Ezekiel 20:33-44, “33 As I live, says the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: 34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. 35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. 36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt [during the first Exodus], so will I plead with you, says the Lord GOD. 37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: 38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the LORD.

"39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD; Go, serve you every one his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not hearken unto me: but pollute you my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols. 40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, says the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. 41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein you have been scattered; [the second Exodus] and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. 42 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers. 43 And there shall you remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein you have been defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed. 44 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O you house of Israel, says the Lord GOD.”

So the key to being saved at every stage is to repent and be converted when you see the prophesied events taking place, and to resist Satan’s system that will be propagated by the German dictator and the pope. Remember, the 10 suggestions on how to deal with masters in slavery apply to physical Israelites as well. Following them will mitigate the cruelty to some extent and may keep you alive. Always keep them and rehearse them in your mind.

The 10 suggestions for conducting oneself during slavery are:1) PREPARE YOUR MIND TO FACE THE GREAT TRIBULATION 2) ENDURE TO THE END; 3) BE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT PROPHECY AND THE GOSPEL so that you are always ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you about you hope and faith in the gospel; 4) NEVER THREATEN anyone with God’s wrath to further antagonize them against you; 5) GIVE RESPECT AND HONOR AS A SLAVE to your masters and rulers; 6) BE A PROFITABLE SERVANT to your master; 7) ALWAYS SHOW LOVE FOR GOD AND FELLOW MAN despite God allowing you to go through the Tribulation; 8) KEEP HOPE ALIVE because of the prophecies that are soon to be fulfilled ahead; and 9) Determine to FACE EVERY SITUATION WITH COURAGE, DETERMINATION AND STRENGTH, and 10) LEARN NOT TO FEAR WHAT MAN CAN DO TO YOU.
