The Coming ”Great Tribulation” Explained in 4 Points | Understand End-Time Prophecy

The Bible describes the worst time in all of human history as the "Great Tribulation." It says this will come just before Jesus returns. So what is the great tribulation, and why will it occur? Let's find out what the Bible has to say. We'll explain the Great Tribulation in 4 simple points. And if you happen to live in the US or a British commonwealth nation, be sure to stick around for point #4 because it will impact you most of all. And please, don't just believe us, but prove this for yourself and look up these verses in your own Bible! Okay, let's get started... Point # 1 - The Great Tribulation is... A Unique Time Period In All of Human History. Jesus said, "For then there will be great tribulation [or in other words, great distress and anguish], such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved" (Matthew 24:21–22). The book of Daniel also prophesies, "...there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time." (Daniel 12:1) And the prophet Jeremiah says, "For that day is great, so that none is like it...." (Jer. 30:7) These verses, and others, describe a unique time period far worse than any other in all of human history. There cannot be more than 1 time period that fits this description, so we know these prophecies are referring to the same event-- the coming "Great Tribulation" and the end of the age. Despite all of the past world wars, genocides, mass murders, pandemics, plagues, famines, natural disasters, and even the worldwide flood of Noah's day... none of these match the chaos, death, destruction, and suffering that will occur at this time. It will unleash the worst time period mankind has ever, and will ever experience. Billions of people will die, and many will suffer. Truly, it is a terrifying reality that must be taken seriously! As Jesus said, unless God intervenes, not a single person on earth would survive. This is where our world is headed! Point #2 - The Great Tribulation is... A Period of 2 & 1/2 Years The prophet Daniel was told that the final events leading up to the second coming of Christ and the setting up of God's Kingdom on earth would last "for a time, times, and half a time" (Daniel 12:5-7). Many biblical scholars agree that a "time" refers to 1 year. "Times" refers to 2 years. And "half a time," is half of a year. A total of 3 and 1/2 years. Jesus said, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken" (Matthew 24:29) This shows that at a point during this 3.5-year period, yet after the tribulation, come these heavenly signs. Jesus’ description in Matthew matches the sequence of end-time events in the book of Revelation. After the fifth seal is opened, and the martyrdom of the saints comes the opening of the sixth seal where "...the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth...." (Rev. 6:12-17). And Joel, chapter 2, makes clear that these heavenly signs introduce the time period spoken of in the Bible as "The Day of the LORD." Joel 2:30-31 says, "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke, the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD." More than 30 prophecies in the Bible refer to the Day of the LORD. Isaiah 34:8 and 63:4, show that the Day of the LORD in end-time prophecy is a period of 1 year. It is called "the year of recompense" and the "year of My redeemed." Therefore, the final year preceding the return of Christ is the time period in Bible prophecy known as the Day of the LORD. Introducing this year-long period are the heavenly signs. And the 2 and 1/2 years leading up to the heavenly signs, is the time of the Great tribulation. The Great Tribulation will last for 2 and 1/2 years and will begin right around 3 and 1/2 years before Jesus Christ returns to earth to establish the world-ruling government of God. Point #3 - The Great Tribulation includes... Severe Persecution of True Christians During this time all nations will turn against the true Church of God and the saints of God because of what they preach and because of their obedience to God's commandments. At the end of the age, Satan, "the great dragon," makes war in heaven and is cast to the earth. He comes down "having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time" (Rev. 12:7-12). He then persecutes the Church--described symbolically as "the woman who gave birth to the male Child" (Rev. 12:13). #tomorrowsworld #tribulation #biblestudy
