Bible Question: What is the time of the tribulation? |
Bible Answer: The Tribulation is a seven year period in which the wrath of God is poured out on mankind. It is the worst period of all of human history in terms of suffering, death, war, famine, disease etc., especially the last three and a half years. But it is also a period of unprecedented evangelism. Angels become visible and make proclamations to mankind. Moses and Elijah are brought back to preach. God sends out 144,00 Jewish evangelists over the face of the earth to preach the gospel. The Second Advent of Christ ends the Tribulation just prior to the end of the seven years. Then the baptism of fire occurs in which Christ removes all unbelievers from the face of the earth so that only believers remain to repopulate the earth for the Millennium. When will this occur? No one knows. Do not be misled by those who claim to know when the Tribulation or the Second Advent will occur. So many have tried and failed in the past it is unbelievable. I am sure even now there are lots of people who say they know. But here is what the Bible says about the time, (specifically the time of the Second Advent): "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Matt 24:36 Pemican |
