This sequel to The End Times Passover [Why Christians Will Suffer Great Tribulation] biblically proves why God’s true disciples will experience great tribulation, and why they will have to remain on earth awaiting the return of Jesus Christ.


Most evangelical Christians believe in The Rapture, they just don’t know if it’s going to be a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, or a Mid or Post Tribulation Rapture.

Regardless, many evangelicals believe the Rapture is right around the corner. They believe that Armageddon is knocking at the door. The crisis and battles for territorial rights in the Middle East, the outbreak of Holy Wars and terrorism throughout the world, have most evangelicals convinced the end is near!

But, they aren’t worried because their hopes lie in The Rapture; a unique event where they believe Jesus Christ will return to earth and snatch them secretly up to heaven while all hell breaks loose on earth!

But, what would happen if there wasn’t going to be a Rapture?

What would happen if all of those stories they have been hearing and reading about not being Left Behind were nothing but sheer lies?

Would that concern them?

Are they prepared to experience great tribulation?

 This sequel to The End Times Passover (Why Christians Will Suffer Great Tribulation) biblically proves why God’s true disciples will experience horrible persecution while awaiting the final return of Jesus Christ. However, many of these brave disciples will be found preaching the gospel as never before, regardless of the price!

Millions of them may even be slaughtered, but they will die for Christ the way He died for them! This may not sound like Good News; but it’s absolutely true! Check out the reasons why!      
        

 

 

 

 

 




Excerpt

This author believes he provided more than enough scriptural evidence in his first book, The End Times Passover, to prove that there will be no Pre-Tribulation Rapture. Not only will there be no Pre-Tribulation Rapture, there will be no Mid-tribulation, nor any Post-tribulation Rapture, if the question has to do with Christians being taken to heaven while all hell breaks loose on earth before Jesus Christ returns.

For that matter, the author believes the word Rapture should be entirely taken out of the Christian Church’s lexicon!

Yes! We believe that Jesus Christ is going to ‘snatch His disciples on His downward flight to earth, and there will be a meeting held with Him in the air; however, the church will not be taken directly to Heaven, but will be involved in the greatest meeting (in the air) that has ever been held in the history of mankind.

Some may still doubt the material we provided in our first book was not sufficient to prove this point, and their hopes still lie in being rescued up to heaven before the Lord returns to rule and reign on earth forever.

Whether they believe this reality or not, many of the disciples of Jesus Christ (who will be alive during that great return) will be persecuted, tortured, possibly beheaded, and may even experience such a horrific torture unto death they could ever imagine.

This may not sound like Good News to the traditional Christian; but, then again, throughout history, millions of Christians and believers in the Messiah have suffered greatly for not only their belief in Him, but for standing tall in their gospel broadcasting efforts.

As we mentioned in our first book,"The End Times Passover," records exist of the myriad of Christians who chose death rather than renouncing Christ, including Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Most recently other great books have also chronicled stories of the dastardly torture and deaths experienced by believers throughout the world. Works such as By Their Blood by James and Marti Hefley and Their Blood Cries Out by Paul Marshall with Lela Gilbert, provide us with stories of the most ghastly kind regarding people who have literally been slaughtered in the cause of Jesus Christ.

Most American Christians, especially (if they were to read these great books), would be stunned by the revelation of the many who willingly gave up their lives in quest of spreading the gospel and standing up for Jesus. Most Americans would shudder in complete horror to learn that thousands upon thousands have died for Christ not just in ‘olden’ days, but who are currently dying for Christ in remote villages and (some in big) cities daily throughout the world! Some Americans are familiar with reports of Christians being persecuted throughout the world, like The Voice of Martyrs; but, for the most part, your average American Christian has no idea. Many, unfortunately, are blissfully living day to day in the hopes that Jesus Christ will any moment step out of His abode in heaven and secretly whisk them away to heaven to be with Him while all hell breaks loose on earth during a time they call, The Great Tribulation!

What they don't realize, yet, is that Christians are destined to suffer great tribulation, and most of them are not prepared to handle this reality.

This book reveals the "Why" God allows them to stay on earth until the final return of Christ to reign on earth, forever!

Review by Dave MacPherson
Prolific author Joe Ortiz has penned a sequel to his earlier book "The End Times Passover." His newer work has a title reading "Why Christians Will Suffer 'Great Tribulation'" - and, believe me, it doesn't suffer from lack of proof for its thesis! As an average American who loves junk food, is overweight, and doesn't even like to watch when a nurse has to draw blood from his arm, I naturally shrink back when I see a Christians-will-suffer-something sort of book title. But when I look around and observe individuals in our seemingly suicidal nation trying to outdo each other in insane violence, in unparalleled perversion, and even nonchalantly belittling and blaspheming the Christ who has blessed us above all other nations, I wonder how soon the Holy One will be forced to schedule the destruction of entire cities, a la Rev. 16:19. This newer work by Joe Ortiz is only for serious, reasoning, and Bible-following Christians. All others can continue their "Gethsemane" sleeping (Mark 14:37) instead of watching. (10-08-07, Dave MacPherson, author of "The Rapture Plot")



Review by Richard Deem
"Why Christians Will Suffer Great Tribulation" is one of the best short books on end times prophecy, and is an excellent rebuttal to the prevalent pre-tribulation rapture teaching. The text is written in an easy to read style, yet cites the relevant scriptures to back up its interpretations. The book has changed the way I look at some end times events, and has clarified my picture of the end times. It is highly recommended reading for those interested in end time's interpretations." Mr. Richard Deem is an editor with GodAndScience.Org, an Internet web site that believes there is harmony between the Bible and science, and is also employed as a Researcher/Specialist in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (4-02-07)


Review by Dr. Roger W Hubbard, Ph.D
It definitely rattled my cage and exposed a lot of misunderstanding of legitimate faith issues. Joe Ortiz is anointed with a fresh, if not controversial, understanding of scripture that I find fascinating and inspiring! I challenge all of my friends who consider themselves Christians or agnostics or atheists to take a fresh look at what he is saying. It could be a life changing event. It certainly will take away a lot of the silly images of what we think is church/religion and substitute a better impression of WHO God considers His people or children of promise. You have been warned- take an hour and test your faith or lack of it. You may go through life misunderstanding the scriptures without benefit of Joe's etymological insights. Read the books, you will not feel your time was wasted! (April 18, 2007)
