===The Judgments of the Tribulation Week===

Even the Early Church saw the need of warning the world of <span style="color:darkred">"judgment to come"</span style="color:darkred"> (Acts 24:25) when evangelizing the lost. Contrary to the belief of the lost sinner-- and backslidden professing Christian-- all sin must be judged. <span style="color:darkred">"Every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward"</span style="color:darkred"> (Hebrews 2:2) in the past. Since God has not changed-- <span style="color:darkred">"I am the LORD, I change not"</span style="color:darkred"> (Malachi 3:6)-- He will still judge all sin. <span style="color:darkred">"For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged"</span style="color:darkred"> (1Corinthians 11:31).

God hates sin, so there will be a Tribulation Week. <span style="color:darkred">"Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile"</span style="color:darkred"> (Romans 2:9). Even when the Judgments of the Tribulation Week seem to come from man, i.e., the first 5 Seal Judgments (Revelation 6:1-11), God has merely induced sinful man to fulfil His will."26 <span style="color:darkred">The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD, and against His Christ. </span style="color:darkred"> 27 <span style="color:darkred">For of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, Whom Thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, </span style="color:darkred"> 28 <span style="color:darkred">For to do whatsoever Thy hand and Thy counsel determined before to be done"</span style="color:darkred"> (Acts 4:26-28).

Why all this Divine, Tribulational ferocity against sin? God hates sin because it is against the highest good of Himself and the universe. David recognized this fact when he confessed the sin of his adultery with Bathsheba. <span style="color:darkred">"Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou judgest"</span style="color:darkred"> (Psalm 51:4). All sin is the <span style="color:darkred">"transgression of the Law"</span style="color:darkred"> (1John 3:4), but what Law is transgressed? <span style="color:darkred">"Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself"</span style="color:darkred"> (Luke 10:27). 

Therefore, all the ills of mankind emanate from sin. <span style="color:darkred">"Your sins have withholden good things from you"</span style="color:darkred"> (Jeremiah 5:25). Also, <span style="color:darkred">"Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; He will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins" </span style="color:darkred"> (Dan 14:10). Soberly, God warns: </span style="color:darkred">"The soul that sinneth, it shall die"</span style="color:darkred"> (Ezekiel 18:20).

Sin is so much a part of mankind that mankind eliminating itself would seem to be the perfect fulfilment of Gabriel's revelation to Daniel to <span style="color:darkred">"make an end of sins"</span style="color:darkred"> (Daniel 9:24). But, Scripture assures the Faithful that <span style="color:darkred">"except those days</span style="color:darkred"> [the days that are about to come upon the world] <span style="color:darkred">should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened"</span style="color:darkred"> (Matthew 24:22). The suicide of the world will be prevented by the miraculous hand of the Creator, because <span style="color:darkred">"God is love"</span style="color:darkred"> (1John 4:16).

Also, God is Only Wise (Romans 16:27); so, He has masterfully engineered His Providence to use man's sin to <span style="color:darkred">"make an end of sins"</span style="color:darkred"> (Daniel 9:24). The Psalmist informs us: <span style="color:darkred">"Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee: the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain"</span style="color:darkred"> (Psalm 76:10). Even when man does <span style="color:darkred">"evil with both hands earnestly"</span style="color:darkred"> (Micah 7:3), the Almighty assures us that <span style="color:darkred">"no weapon that is formed against thee</span style="color:darkred"> [not to mention Him] <span style="color:darkred">shall prosper"</span style="color:darkred"> (Isaiah 54:17).
