Little Season in the Big Picture

Biblical prophecy foretells God's future judgment upon all the nations of the world. The prophesied apocalyptic end of the world is generally known as the Great Tribulation, the final seven-year period of our present age. It is called "a little season" in the Book of Revelation. ¶ Titus Flavius Josephus witnessed and documented the final seven-year tribulation of the nation of Judea during the first century. At the end of this present age, a similar fate awaits every nation on Earth whose people have rejected their Creator, the Author of our salvation. ¶ "I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." --Revelation 6:9-11. ¶ Have you seen the Big Picture? The ability to do so with mindful clarity is impossible, unless one understands how each piece of history's puzzle fits together seamlessly. "A Little Season in the Big Picture" presents the history of mankind in terms of humanity's changing dispensations throughout the ages and what God expected from his chosen people in the past, compared to His expectations of each and every individual in our present age. ¶ God judges not only individuals, but nations and their leaders. The book of Genesis reveals how God judged the world in the days of Noah, which resulted in the Great Deluge. He would later judge the nation that built the tower of Babel, destroying it and scattering its people across the ancient world. In the time of Moses, God destroyed the nation of Egypt and the dynasty of the ruling Pharaoh. In the generations after Solomon, He judged the ten northern tribes of Israel and sent the nation of Assyria to destroy it and take its people into captivity. Then He judged the nation of Judah, and had Nebuchadnezzar destroy Solomon's Temple. The surviving Jews were held captive in Babylon for 70 years, until God judged the rulers of Babylon and found them "lacking". He then handed the Babylonian Empire over to the Medes and Persians, who subsequently allowed the Jews to return to their homeland. Later, the Greeks led by Alexander the Great would conquer Persia, Egypt, Palestine, and the Middle East. The Roman empire arose three centuries later. ¶ In 70 AD, forty years after the nation of Judea had rejected Jesus of Nazareth as their Messiah and rightful king, God destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Temple. The nation of Judea was utterly destroyed by Rome and its emperors, ushering in our present age... the Age of Grace. ¶ God's prophets foretold each and every one of those judgments, including the Great Tribulation that will involve all peoples and nations in the entire world. This book is a "must-read"! Don't be blind-sided by events as they take place on the world stage. Open your understanding and see the "Big Picture." ¶ "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." --Luke 21:28.
