BIBLE PASSAGE: Mark 13:19-26 NKJV
[19] For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.
[20] And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.
[21] “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it.
[22] For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
[23] But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.
[24] “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
[25] the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
[26] Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

MEMORY VERSE: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be”. Matthew 24:21 (NKJV).

These include tribulation because of obedience to God’s word (Matthew 13:21); the tribulation on the way to God’s kingdom (Acts 14:22); earthly tribulation that is common to all (Job 5:6-7); tribulation on evil doers (Romans 2:9) and the great tribulation. The focus of the lesson is the Great Tribulation. The hardship, distress, and perplexity that would be experienced in the days of the great tribulation are unprecedented. What is the great tribulation all about? When will it be? What are the events in the days of tribulation?

LESSON AIM: To study the meaning and events of the great tribulation.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
a. Understand the meaning of the great tribulation. b. Discover the events in the days of the great tribulation.

OUTLINES:
1. UNDERSTANDING THE GREAT TRIBULATION
2. EVENTS IN DAYS OF GREAT TRIBULATION

1. UNDERSTANDING THE GREAT TRIBULATION
i. The Great Tribulation is also called the time of Jacob’s (the nation-Israel) trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).
ii. The unbelieving Jews, the unsaved or backslidden Gentiles will be the candidates of the great tribulation.
iii. It will begin after the rapture of the Church and the revelation of the antichrist, the man of sin (2 Thessalonians 2:3-7).
iv. The time of the great tribulation is the “seventieth week” that is, the last week of the seventy weeks of Daniel.
v. The seventy weeks have three sections: the first seven weeks, the next sixty-two weeks, and the last week.
vi. There are seven days in one week. A day in the week represents one year. So the duration is seven years (Daniel 9:20-27).
vii. The first half of the last week (the first three and a half years) will be for the full physical manifestation of the antichrist, during which he shall make a covenant with Israel (Daniel 9:27).
viii. The second half of the last week (the last three and half years) will be a time of unprecedented trouble. “During the week” the antichrist shall break the covenant with Israel and practice the “abomination of desolation” in the temple (Daniel 11:36; Matthew 24:15-16).
ix. The last three and half years of the great tribulation will culminate in the second coming of Christ to reign on earth (Mark.13:24-26; 2 Thessalonians 2:8).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Students should mention the key points about the great tribulation according to the first outline.

2. EVENTS IN DAYS OF GREAT TRIBULATION
The Great Tribulation will witness a series of significant but terrifying events.
These include:
1. Unprecedented religious persecution of those who missed the rapture (Matthew 24:21-22).
2. Unparalleled global religious deception (Matthew 24:24-28).
3. There shall be an untold global economic problem, in which only those who receive the mark of the Beast can buy or sell (Revelation 13:17-18).
4. Series of unrighteous and abominable religious practices (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4,10).
5. Intense temptation all over the world (Revelation 3:10).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Mention the identities of the great tribulation according to lesson outline two.

CONCLUSION: Those who have received Christ as their Lord and personal Saviour and keep themselves holy till He comes at rapture shall be delivered (through rapture) from the days of the Great Tribulation. However, sinners and backsliders are faced with the danger of the Great tribulation. Beloved, are you truly saved from sins? Examine yourself today and be sure!

EVALUATION: Mention the identities of the great tribulation according to lesson outline two.

CLOSING PRAYER: Almighty Father, please don’t let me witness the calamity of the great tribulation.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 3 AUGUST 2024 MESSAGE:

God created the garden of Eden, where He established a fellowship with Adam and Eve (Genesis 2).
Man was constantly in touch with God, and he had nothing to worry about because of the manifest presence of God.
However, when sin entered, it caused a separation. Thankfully, the birth of Jesus has reconciled us back to God.
As we reflect on His name, Jehovah Shammah, I have realized that God never wants to be the God ‘over there’; rather, he wants to be the God ‘here’.

He is not distant, removed, or withdrawn; He is personal and intimate.
He desires a cordial relationship with every one of us and wants us to know His presence for eternity. No wonder He said in …………..… Isaiah 1:18:
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

My dear child, no matter what happens, be confident that Jehovah Shammah is always here, there, and everywhere with you.
You can trust that He will never leave you nor forsake you.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 2 AUGUST 2024 MEMORISE: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 2 AUGUST 2024 READ: Psalms 37:23-24

[23]The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

[24]Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 2 AUGUST 2024 MESSAGE

Jehovah Rohi is a Hebrew term which means ‘The Lord my Shepherd’.

A shepherd is one who feeds or leads his flock to pasture. He also guides or directs the flock (Ezekiel 34:11-15).

In our world today, many people have trouble making decisions; hence, they go to the wise and knowledgeable for guidance.

Unfortunately, following human wisdom alone could sometimes lead to regret.

This is why God says that when you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him, and He will guide you.

I know you have many choices, and you are faced with the challenge of making the right decisions every day, from what to eat, what to wear, where to go, which course of study to choose, what career field to focus on, who to make your friend, what habits to stop or continue, where to settle down in adulthood, et cetera.

Believe me, your worries and anxieties are valid. However, you must be careful to involve God in everything so that He can lead you aright.

God is a Friend who wants to direct you so that you won’t fall into errors. How often do you consult Him?

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 2 AUGUST 2024 KEY POINT

The extent to which God directs you is determined by how much you involve Him in your affairs.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 1 AUGUST 2024 MEMORISE: Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. Jeremiah 33:6

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 1 AUGUST 2024 READ: 1 PETER 2:24

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 1 AUGUST 2024 MESSAGE

I used to be afflicted with malaria, and I depended so much on pharmaceutical drugs until I had an encounter with ‘Jehovah Rapha’.

Jehovah Rapha means ‘The God who heals.’ Today, by the grace of God, I have been living in divine health for many years.

God wants you to live in good health so that you can serve Him wholeheartedly.

Even if you fall sick, he wants to cure your entire being, including your heart, soul, body, mind, and spirit.

However, you must note that while some persons receive instant healing, others receive their healing gradually.

It is true that God heals, and it is also true that He may choose not to heal a fellow.

A person may sincerely pray and truly have faith that God can heal him or her.

However, if it is not God’s will to provide the healing at that time, then no healing will occur (1 John 5:14).

Do you need healing for yourself, your relative, your classmate, or anyone else? God wants you to ask Him in faith.

Some sicknesses are attacks from the devil, and they must be fought, while some are trials that lead to victory.

By the stripes of Jesus, you were healed.
