This sermon focuses on the last 3 ½ years before the return of Jesus Christ to this earth.  One way of looking at this time period is 3 ½ years of Satan’s wrath on mankind and especially the Church and modern day Israel.  This time is also known as the time of Jacob’s trouble. There will also be a one year period at the end of those 3 ½ years that is called the Day of the Lord, which is God’s wrath on rebellious mankind.
