Yes, God will pour out His wrath on this generation because of the unprecedented depth of human wickedness and the world's readiness for judgment.
Les Feldick teaches that the world is fast approaching the same level of corruption that led God to destroy the Canaanites, and that modern humanity has descended deep into sin. This present generation's wickedness, combined with the sheer size of the world's population, means the coming Tribulation will bring an outpouring of God's wrath on a scale never seen before.
Matthew 24:21 — Jesus Himself describes the coming great tribulation as a time of trouble unlike any other in history, directly indicating God's wrath on this generation.
The Bible describes the coming Tribulation as an unprecedented time of wrath. Jesus Himself, speaking of the events at the midpoint of the Tribulation, said, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" (Matthew 24:21). This period is also identified as the time of Jacob's trouble in Jeremiah 30, a time of unparalleled distress for the nation of Israel. The book of Revelation portrays the outpouring of God's wrath during this period. In Revelation 6, the kings, great men, rich men, chief captains, mighty men, and every bondman and freeman hide themselves and plead for death to hide them from "the wrath of the Lamb" (Revelation 6:16-17). The judgments described in Revelation 9 are explicitly called the judgments of God being poured out on the human race (Revelation 9:20-21).
Les Feldick teaches that this generation is ripening for judgment because of its deep descent into wickedness and sin. He draws a parallel to the Canaanites, whom God commanded Israel to destroy because their iniquity had reached a point of no return (Clip 6). He notes that the Gentile world today is fast approaching that same condition. Beyond moral decay, Les points to the size of the present human population as a reason why this generation will suffer so horribly. He emphasizes that more people are alive now than have lived in all of preceding history, meaning that the vast majority of the human race will still come under God's wrath. The Tribulation, he explains, is primarily Jewish and is the time of Jacob's trouble, with Israel at the center of God's dealings (Clip 0). He contrasts the first half of the Tribulation with the last three and a half years, stating that the "outpouring of God's wrath" specifically refers to the second half, which will be beyond human comprehension (Clips 1, 2, 5, 7).
Les Feldick teaches that the Tribulation is primarily Jewish, as described in Jeremiah 30. He uses this term to show that God will resume dealing with the nation of Israel after the Body of Christ is removed. This designation highlights that the suffering of the Tribulation, while affecting the whole world, is centered on God's purposes for Israel (Clip 0).
Les Feldick explains that for the last 1900 years, mankind has not seen the wrath of God. Although there have been calamities, wars, and earthquakes, these have never been acts of God's wrath. He maintains that God is patient, gracious, and kind, allowing man to go his own way, but the day of His wrath is coming (Clips 1, 6).
Les Feldick teaches that the final three and a half years of the Tribulation will be the outpouring of both God's wrath and Satan's wrath. He says it will be 'mind boggling' and beyond human comprehension, even worse than the Holocaust or other horrors of history. Jesus Himself said these will be days of great tribulation such as never were before, nor ever could be again. Both physical and mental suffering will be so severe that it will test people's sanity (Clips 3, 5, 7).
The Tribulation is Primarily Jewish
Les explains that the Tribulation is the time of Jacob's trouble, a distinct period when God again deals with Israel, and it will begin after the fullness of the Gentiles is brought in.
God's Wrath Has Not Been Seen Yet
Les teaches that the calamities of the last 1900 years were never God's wrath, but the second half of the Tribulation will be the true outpouring of His wrath, causing even rulers to plead for death.
The Last Half is the Wrath
Les shows that the first three and a half years are only the 'beginning of sorrows,' and the outpouring of God's wrath specifically refers to the last three and a half years.
Mind-Boggling Wrath
Les states that the last half of the Tribulation will involve the outpouring of both Satan's and God's wrath on the whole human race, making it a time beyond comprehension.
What the Bible Says About Sodom, Lot, and Judgment (Romans 1)
We can be a little tiny voice in the wilderness, so to speak. And I know we're still approaching people. Even in my small little effort, I know I have been privileged to see hundreds of people get interested in the Word, and a fair number come to know the Lord. But for the most part, we're going to see the world wax worse and worse.
Unprecedented Suffering
Les compares the final three and a half years to the Holocaust and modern horrors, stating that none of it will compare to the wrath to come.
The World's Deep Wickedness
Les teaches that just like the Canaanites, the Gentile world has gone deeper into wickedness, and God's patience will eventually give way to His wrath.
The Worst Time in History
Les highlights Jesus' words that the last three and a half years will be the most awful time in all of human history, which is why God pours out His wrath.
Matthew 24:21: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Jesus describes the unique severity of the great tribulation, showing it will be unlike any other period in history.
Jeremiah 30:6: Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
This verse is part of the passage Les uses to show the Tribulation as the time of Jacob's trouble.
Revelation 6:16: And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
People plead for death to escape the wrath of God and the Lamb during the Tribulation.
Les Feldick clarifies that while the first half of the seven-year Tribulation is called the 'beginning of sorrows,' the specific outpouring of God's wrath occurs in the last three and a half years. This period is described as a time of great tribulation unlike any other.
Les teaches that this generation's judgment is tied to the deep wickedness that mirrors the pre-flood or Canaanite societies. Additionally, the sheer number of people alive today means more will face God's wrath.
According to Les, the time of Jacob's trouble refers to the Tribulation period, which is primarily directed at the nation of Israel. It is a time when God resumes His dealings with Israel, though it affects the whole world.
