Bible Question: Hi With all this hype going on about the book and Movie Left Behind God has really laid it upon my heart to find out what the bible really says about it and see if human error has played a part in the translation and caused it to be misleading if you have any verses that pertain to the tribulation please feel free to let me know |
Bible Answer: That is the question, isn't it. What verses pertain to the tribulation. I can give you quite a few, but others will disagree with me. Does human error play a part in the translation? It always does. (We don't have the originals. At least my Greek is sorely lacking. We're still looking "forward" to the end times. (Meaning only that it hasn't happened yet - hindsight is 20-20.) With that said, here's the verses. Daniel 9:27 (Some see a break in between the 69th and 70th week. Even one of the Church Fathers, Irenaeus, saw this as "yet future" from his time.) Other verses, I Thessalonians 4:13-5:11, note the change from the first person "us" and "we" to third person "they" and "them". Matthew 24-25 are sometimes seen as referring to the Tribulation period, but others see it as after that time, when the Lord comes back to clean up (at his 2nd coming). Revelation 6:1 through 16:21 (or there abouts) Daniel 11:36 to the end of the book. I do hope these don't overwhelm you these are more than enough to get you started. In Him, and Maranatha, Benjamite |
