Joseph Prince’s Easy Christianity is a shame and a total contradiction to Jesus’ teaching that the Church will go through the Great Tribulation and to the presence of the overcoming saints in the Great Tribulation – By Rev George Ong (Dated 3 Apr 2024)
In the Easter Sermon, 3 days ago, Joseph Prince said:
“The Bible talks about what happen on earth.
It will be the worst time ever (Great Tribulation).
Worse, terrible.”
Can you see the kind of Feel-Good religion and Easy Christianity
that Joseph Prince is offering
– that Christians won’t be around during the Great Tribulation.
While, the Jews would suffer,
but we, the Church,
will all be raptured to heaven
to enjoy 7 years of bliss, safety and security.
No wonder, New Creation Church is filled with many goats.
On the contrary, the Christianity that Jesus offers
is one that comes with tribulation.
Jesus Himself has said it so clearly
that it is only after the Tribulation that He will come,
meaning the Church will go through the Great Tribulation:
Matthew 24:29-31 NASB
29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet blast, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Just imagine, Joseph Prince has the audacity
to twist such clear and unambiguous text
that Jesus Himself, who is God, gave
on Post-trib rapture
to one which is Pre-trib.
If Jesus has unmistakably taught
that the church will go through the Tribulation,
anyone, such as Joseph Prince,
who dares to twist what God the Son has clearly stated,
is undisguised and blatant rebellion.
And one who rebels against the teachings of Jesus
has to be a false prophet.
Jesus cannot afford to have a weak army
in those critical and climatic last days
in the Great Tribulation.
He cannot afford to have an unprepared army
to fight the most difficult battle.
He has to have the strongest and the most prepared army
to fight the toughest Great Tribulation battle
against the Antichrist and his evil forces.
Friends, the Bible doesn’t present the Great Tribulation
as a time of gloom and defeat for the Church.
Saints who are martyred in Revelation chapter 7
are presented in glowing and glorious terms.
They have washed their garments
in the blood of the Lamb.
They are dressed in white raiment.
The Apostle John saw them to be a huge and glorious company.
This victorious company ─ God’s Elect
─ is gathered from all nations, races and tribes.
The scripture in Revelation chapter 7
unveils the Tribulation saints magnificently.
These Tribulation saints
are not those who are left behind
in the Pre-trib scheme of things
but the entire Church
that will go through the tribulation in the Post-trib rapture.
Yes, they will be severely persecuted.
Yes, they will be harshly beaten.
And many will be given the privilege to glorify God
by being martyred.
But they are triumphant!
They are overcomers!
They are, indeed, the glorious and triumphant Body of Christ,
the Lord’s invincible Army in the end-time.
The Church indeed will be in the Great Tribulation,
not as a punishment by being “left behind”,
or a sign of divine disfavour as the Pre-tribulationists
had painted it,
but an enormous and a glorious privilege.
It will not be a sigh of disappointment and despair
of having missed the delusional Pre-trib rapture,
but a shout of triumph
of having been an overcomer
in the midst of life’s greatest crisis
and being given the awesome privilege
of ushering in the Kingdom of God.
My Parting Shot to Joseph Prince:
“Hey Joe,
Thank you very much for leaving all your sermons behind,
especially those on rapture for people like me.
But actually, you are wasting your time, Lah.
Because I prefer to be left behind,
to reign with Christ on earth.
If you want to be taken away to be destroyed, go ahead.
Don’t pull others along with you.
And to do you a return favour,
I’ve also featured this article on my website
and also put up this video on YouTube
for the sake of people like you,
to warn you that if you are taken away,
it means you are taken away for judgement
and not to heaven, you know.
But the trouble is,
if that day should come
it’s no use to you, already.
It’s too late, already.
as those people like you who are taken away
will be judged and send to hell.
So, don’t play play,
you better repent now
while there is still time.
Hey Joe, another thing,
you super Siah Suey (shameless), you know.
You, world renowned
but still can interpret Matthew 24:37-41 out of context.
And this happened already so many times.
If you not Pai Seh (embarrassed),
I feel very Pai Seh for you, you know.
But you so thick skin, still can preach on Sunday
as if nothing happened.
But this one I must take my hats off to you
Despite that, you can still bluff the millions
to stay loyal to you.
Must be your occultic and witchcraft powers
that you have tapped into your godfather, the devil.”
