Lesson 249: THE BOOK OF REVELATION – PART 15

INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series, we have seen what happened as the first four seals were broken, leading to (i) the appearance of the Antichrist on a white horse, (ii) war on a horse, (iii) famine on a back horse and (iv) death and pestilence on a pale horse. Now the Lamb continues to break the seals and the action hots up. May the Lord Himself teach us tonight, in Jesus Name. Amen.

1. THE TRIBULATION SAINTS

After the rapture, those Christians who are left behind and those who will then become believers will be easy to identify because they will refuse to worship the antichrist. Their persecution will be easy carried out and terrible in its intensity. Many of them will make it to heaven but “as if by fire”.
