ABOMINATION, PESTILENCE, TRIBULATION: GOD’S WRATH UPON THE EARTH By definition, "abomination" refers to practices that are not in harmony with God's will, and should not be seen under the sun. Examples include eating unclean animals (Lev.11, Deut. 14: 3; Acts 15:20), idolatry (Deut. 7:25), telling lies (Prov. 11: 1), wicked thoughts, (Prov. 15:26), pride (Prov. 16: 5), a woman’s putting on the garments of a man or vice versa, (Deut. 22: 5), justification of wrongdoing or condemnation of the righteous (Ezek. 18:24), fornication (Lev. 19:29), and doing all that is contrary to the will of God in one's relationships (Prov. 6, Lev. 18). THE LORD WILL SMITE THE UNRIGHTEOUS WITH PESTILENCE AND GREAT TRIBULATIONS And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? And how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. (Numbers 14:11-12) HOMOSEXUALITY IS AN ABOMINATION In this age, many are engaged in same-sex marriage. And it is common to see gays and lesbians, transgender people, and the like, create associations, fight for their rights and freedom of expression in these "sodomy" attitudes and practices. However, in a traditional and God-fearing society, homosexuality and same-sex marriage are a social outrage and these are equally an abomination to Jehovah God. WRATH OF GOD POURED UPON THE EARTH {Rev16:1} And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. {16:2} And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and [upon] them which worshipped his image. {16:3} And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead [man:] and every living soul died in the sea REPENT, RETURN TO GOD, AND BE BAPTIZED {Acts 2:38} Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. {Acts 3:19}Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. {Rev 3:19} As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. {Mark 16:16} He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

THE EARTH
DEFINITION:
The word "abomination"
occurs around 117 times in the
Bible. By definition,
"abomination" refers to
practices that are not in
harmony with God's will, and
should not be seen under the
sun.
Examples include eating
unclean animals (Lev.11, Deut.
14: 3; Acts 15:20), idolatry
(Deut. 7:25), telling lies (Prov.
11: 1), wicked thoughts, (Prov.
15:26), pride (Prov. 16: 5), a
woman’s putting on the

3. garments of a man or vice
versa, (Deut. 22: 5), justification
of wrongdoing or
condemnation of the righteous
(Ezek. 18:24), fornication (Lev.
19:29), and doing all that is
contrary to the will of God in
one's relationships (Prov. 6,
Lev. 18).
Lev.18 mentions many kinds of
abominations in people's
relationships with their
neighbors, and all of this is
forbidden by Jehovah, for they
are immoral and such kinds of
marriage do not render
marriage honorable.
Jehovah abhorreth
abomination; and many
nations have been
destroyed because of the
abominations of their
inhabitants. The Book of Kings
and Chronicles narrate the
destruction of the nations that
commit abominations:

4.  1 Kings 14:24 (fornication in
general);
 2 Kings 16: 3 (child sacrifice);
 2 Kings 21: 2 and 2 Kings
21:11 (idolatry);
 2 Chron. 28: 3 (child
sacrifice);
 2 Chron. 33: 2 (idolatry);
 2 Chron. 34:33, 36: 8, and
36:14 (generally). (Ezra 9: 1,
9:11, and 9:14)
In all these cases,
“abomination” refers to any
foreign immoral acts and
practices, committed by Israel
and the Israelite king, which
are condemned, as they are
immoral in the sight of
Jehovah and of heaven and
earth.

5. Likewise, the word
"abomination" is used to refer
to idolatry (Ezek. 5:11, 6: 9,
6:11, 7:20, 14: 6, 20: 7-8, 22: 2 ,
44: 6-7, 44:13), addiction (Ezek.
18:13), self-exaltation and
pride (Ezek. 16: 47-50; the "Sin
of Sodom"), adultery (Hebrews
22:11, 33:26), as well as
violence (Ezek. 33:26), as well
as practices of foreign rituals
and cultures in general (Ezek.
16:51), or lawlessness (Ezek. 5:
9, 7: 3-4, 7: 8-9, 9: 4, 11:18,
11:21, 12:16, 16: 2, 16:43, 18:24,
20: 4, 33: 29, 36:31).
Ezekiel also said that idolatry
and "fornication" were
abominable (Ezek. 16:22, 16:36,
16:58, 23:26, 43: 8).
HOMOSEXUALITY IS AN
ABOMINATION
In this age, many are
engaged in same-sex
marriage. And it is common to
see gays and lesbians,
transgender people, and the

6. like, create associations, fight
for their rights and freedom of
expression in these "sodomy"
attitudes and practices.
However, in a traditional and
God-fearing society,
homosexuality and same-sex
marriage are a social outrage
and these are equally an
abomination to Jehovah God.
LEV. 18 shows the different
types of lewdness that should
never be practiced to make a
marriage holy. Among these
abominations in the sight of
Jehovah are lying with
someone of a similar gender as
it is said in the Bible:

7. “ You shall not lie with a
male as with a woman; for it
is an abomination. (Leviticus
18:22)
The children of Israel are a holy
people to Jehovah, and we, too,
are spiritual children of God;
therefore, the commandment is
also given to us so that we do
not commit any abomination in
the sight of Jehovah. Otherwise,
we will be destroyed and
vomited out of the land.
Leviticus 18: 26-30 is clear:
"And ye shall keep my statutes
and my judgments, and shall
not commit any of these
abominations; neither for the
home-born, nor for the stranger
that sojourneth with you"
(Leviticus 18:26) "for all these
abominations have the men of
the land done. (Leviticus
18:27) “So that you may not
defile the land, and it will not
vomit you out, as it has vomited
out the nations that were before
you. (Leviticus 18:28) “Whoever

8. commits any of these
abominations, they shall be cut
off from his people.” (Leviticus
18:29) Therefore shall ye keep
mine ordinance, that ye commit
not any one of these
abominable customs, which
were committed before you,
and that ye defile not
yourselves therein: I am the
LORD your God.”( Leviticus
18:30)
In Leviticus 20, Jehovah again
restated the law on morality
and marriage, and he
emphasized the prohibition of
same-sex marriage. And this is
what Judah says:
{1:6} And the angels which kept
not their first estate, but left
their own habitation, he hath
reserved in everlasting chains
under darkness unto the
judgment of the great day. {1:7}
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha,

9. and the cities about them in
like manner, giving themselves
over to
fornication, and going after
strange flesh, are set forth for
an example, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire.
THE LORD WILL SMITE
THE UNRIGHTEOUS
WITH PESTILENCE AND
GREAT TRIBULATIONS
And the LORD said unto Moses,
How long will this people
provoke me? And how long will
it be ere they believe me, for all
the signs which I have shewed
among them? I will smite them
with the pestilence, and
disinherit them, and will make
of thee a greater nation and

10. mightier than they.
(Numbers 14:11-12)
Deuteronomy 28:1-
14 talks about the
blessings for those who
observe God’s commandments
and statutes. Then from verses
15, Deuteronomy enlists the
curse for anyone who fail to
observe his commandments
and his statutes.
{Deut 28:15} But it shall come
to pass, if thou wilt not hearken
unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to
observe to do all his
commandments and
his statutes which I
command thee this day; that all
these curses shall come upon
thee, and overtake thee:… {
Deut 28:20} The LORD shall
send upon thee cursing,
vexation, and rebuke, in all that
thou settest thine hand unto for
to do, until thou be destroyed,
and until thou perish quickly;

11. because of the wickedness of
thy doings, whereby thou hast
forsaken me. { Deut 28:21} The
LORD shall make the pestilence
cleave unto thee, until he have
consumed thee from off the
land, whither
thou goest to possess it.
{28:58} If thou wilt not observe
to do all the words of this law
that are written in this book,
that thou mayest fear this
glorious and fearful name, THE
LORD THY GOD; {28:59} Then
the LORD will make thy plagues
wonderful, and the plagues of
thy seed, [even] great plagues,
and of long continuance, and
sore sicknesses, and of long
continuance. {28:60} Moreover
he will bring upon thee all the
diseases of Egypt, which thou
wast afraid of; and they shall
cleave unto thee. {28:61} Also
every sickness, and every
plague, which [is] not written in

12. the book of this law, them will
the LORD bring upon thee, until
thou be destroyed. {28:62} And
ye shall be left few in number,
whereas ye were as the stars of
heaven for multitude; because
thou wouldest not obey the
voice of the LORD thy God.
PESTILENCE AND GREAT
TRIBULATION ARE THE
WRATH OF GOD
POURED UPON THE
EARTH
{Rev16:1} And I heard a great
voice out of the temple saying
to the seven angels, Go your
ways, and pour out the vials of
the wrath of God upon the
earth. {16:2} And the first went,
and poured out his vial upon
the earth; and there fell a

13. noisome and grievous sore
upon the men which had the
mark of the beast, and [upon]
them which worshipped his
image. {16:3} And the second
angel poured out his vial
upon the sea; and it became as
the blood of a dead [man:] and
every living soul died in the sea.
{16:4} And the third angel
poured out his vial upon the
rivers and fountains of waters;
and they became blood. {16:5}
And I heard the angel of the
waters say, Thou art righteous,
O Lord, which art, and wast,
and shalt be, because thou hast
judged thus. {16:6} For they
have shed the blood of saints
and prophets,
and thou hast given them blood
to drink; for they are worthy.
{16:7} And I heard another out
of the altar say, Even so, Lord
God Almighty, true and
righteous [are] thy
judgments. {16:8} And the
fourth angel poured out his vial

14. upon the sun; and power was
given unto him to scorch men
with fire. {16:9} And men were
scorched with great heat, and
blasphemed the name of God,
which hath power over
these plagues: and they
repented not to give him glory.
{16:10} And the fifth angel
poured out his vial upon the
seat of the beast; and his
kingdom was full of darkness;
and they gnawed their tongues
for pain, {16:11} And
blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their
sores, and repented not of their
deeds. …
WHOEVER COMMITS
THESE ABOMINATIONS
SHALL BE CUT OFF
FROM HIS PEOPLE
The Bible says that flesh and
blood will not inherit God's
kingdom, because they are not

15. holy. Whoever commits any of
these abominations, they shall
be cut off from his people.
“Know ye not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God? Be not
deceived: neither fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind, Nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God.” (1
Corinthians 6:9-10)
“For the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness,”
(Galatians 5:19) “idolatry,
sorcery, enmity, strife, strife,
envy, strife, divisions, divisions,
(Galatians 5:20) “Jealousy,
drunkenness, greediness, and
such like, as I said before, as I
also said before, that they who
do such things shall not inherit

16. the kingdom of God. (Galatians
5:21)
Revelation 21: 8
and 27 and
Revelation 22:15
also state that the
unbelievers, adulterers,
murderers, and idolaters, and
the immoral, will not enter into
the Kingdom of God:
“And there shall in no wise
enter into it any thing that
defileth, neither whatsoever
worketh abomination,or
maketh a lie: but they which
are written in the Lamb's
book of life. » (Rev. 21:27)
THE UNRIGHTEOUS
SHALL NOT INHERIT
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Obviously, immoral people will
not inherit the kingdom of God
as defined in the Scriptures:
“ Know ye not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit
the kingdom of God? Do not

17. be deceived: neither
fornicators, idolaters,
adulterers and sodomites * [*
See Lev.18.22] » (1 Corinthians
6: 9) “and the thieves, the
greedy, drunkards, revilers and
the violent will not inherit the
kingdom of God. (1
Corinthians 6:10)
God created man and
woman. “Let the husband
render unto the wife due
benevolence: and likewise also
the wife unto the
husband. The wife hath not
power of her own body, but
the husband: and likewise also
the husband hath not power of
his own body, but the wife.” (1
Corinthians 7: 3-4)
Likewise the sodomite, which is
an abomination in the sight of
God, "You shall not lie with a
man as with a woman; for it
is an abomination.” (Leviticus
18:22) So also Sodom and
Gomorrah and the neighboring

18. cities with their fornication,
after which they went out after
other men, were set
forth as a warning by
their enduring torment
in eternal fire.” (Jude 7)
“But the weak, and the
unbelieving, and the
abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their
part in the lake of fire and
brimstone; this is the second
death.” (Revelation 21: 8)
“And there shall
in no wise enter
into it anything
that defileth,
neither
whatsoever
worketh abomination, or
maketh a lie: but they which
are written in the Lamb's book
of life. (Rev. 21:27)

19. “ Outside are the dogs, the
sorcerers, the sexually immoral,
the murderers,
the idolaters,
and everyone
who loves
falsehood.” (Re
velation 22:15)
REPENT, RETURN TO
GOD, AND BE BAPTIZED
{Acts 2:38} Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost. {Acts
3:19}Repent ye therefore,
and be converted, that
your sins may be blotted
out, when the times of
refreshing shall
come from the presence of the
Lord. {Rev 3:19} As many as I
love, I rebuke and chasten: be
zealous therefore, and repent.

20. {Mark 16:16} He that believeth
and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall
be damned.
{3:5} He that overcometh, the
same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out
his name out of the book of
life, but I will confess his name
before my Father, and before
his angels.
