Yet Forty Days – of Testing

By Chris McCann
August 5, 2018

It’s very interesting how we know that God has been testing us all throughout the great tribulation and now into the Day of Judgment. The tests have accompanied each opening up of the Scriptures as the Lord has revealed more and more truth.

It’s not surprising then, for us to find that God has given a timeline (in the book of Jonah) for the outworking of His end time judgment program of 40 days (40 inclusive years).

Given that this 40 day/40 year time period begins in the year 1994, it means that at present we are only 25 inclusive years into it. Biblical evidence is suggesting that there is still 15 more years to go.

And yet some have fainted. They did well by making it through the great tribulation period. But that was only one sign post. The race continues. None receive the prize for making it part way through a race. The prize is only given at its end.

1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

And,

Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
