A 23 year Tribulation?

[Salty]

Harold Camping said the tribulation began on 21 May 1988, which means the end of the world will be May 21, 2011!

23 years??!!!

Well there isn't going to be a seven year one either..so I guess anyone looking for tribulation will surely have grounds to find it.

And then there will be a 5 month great judgment that will be so terrible that some of his followers are actually considering suicide. I heard it myself.

This salvation is not occurring in any church, but will continue outside of the churches to the end of the Great Tribulation, on May 21, 2011.

So what do we tell the 2 young ladies that got saved at our church reciently: "sorry, it didn't count"?

Yep.

The second area where these verses apply even more forcibly is in the local churches at the end of the church age. God sends them a strong delusion. That is, God is deliberately preventing anyone from becoming saved. No longer is there any grace and mercy within these churches. How awful! How terrible! This flies in the face of everything the Gospel is. We send the Gospel into the world so that people might become saved but now, because God’s righteous judgment has fallen upon the local congregations, salvation is not possible within them. The situation is serious because it is all over the world, and there will be no mercy. Absolutely no mercy!

We have learned that there cannot be salvation within the local churches because the Holy Spirit is no longer in the midst of the congregation to apply the Word of God to the hearts of the elect. This reminds us of the verses in Ezekiel 22:30-31:


And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore, have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.


The context shows that "the land" that God has in view is the local congregations. The only man who can prevent God from destroying that land is Jesus Christ. But the verse ominously declares, "I found none." Therefore, verse 31 continues by speaking of God’s judgment falling on their heads.
