Bible Question:
What tribulation? Is it all of us on earth or a certain people at a certain time? Has it happened or will it happen? |
Bible Answer: The answer is yes, maybe, and no. The timing of the tribulation is what is at debate. If you are a pre-tribulation thought, then only unsaved go through the tribulation, if you are mid-tribulation, then Christians go through half of the tribulation before the rapture occurs and if you are a post-tribulation, then as you guessed, you go through the whole tribulation. I am of the belief of the pre-tribulation. Here is a link www.gotquestions.org/tribulation.html that explains it a little more. Now with that being said, there are others who disagree and can provide support for the belief of mid- or post-tribulation. The key thing is to be ready for the coming of our Lord and Savior regardless of when the tribulation comes. Brad |
