The Tribulation

A2

If you have not read the Bible, you may not know what the tribulation is. The Bible mentions it is a period of destruction like the world has never experiences. God will pour out his wrath on the earth through seven seals, trumpets, and bowls depicted in the book of Revelation. This represent the final judgments of God that are poured out on an unbelieving world in the end times. More info on the judgements here

There is no exact wording mentioning a seven year tribulation in the Bible. This is Interpreted from Daniel chapter 9 in the Bible, through this was determined a seven year event. It is believed that the last 3 1/2 years of the tribulation is when the anti-christ figure will appear and set up his Mark Of The Beasts system and God will pour out his wrath upon the earth. Then the rapture will occur if you believe in the post-tribulation view instead of the pre-tribulation view.

The above video is on the seven year view. The videos below are for a partial fulfillment of The Book Of Revelation by Doug Batchelor and more views on the tribulation events.

The events that happen in the tribulation are mentioned in the last book of the Bible called The Book Of Revelations, It is also believed by some that all of the Book Of Revelation has been already fulfilled, which to me makes no sense at all. There are some who also believe it was partly fulfilled and there is one part left. The one part left would be the last and final tribulation to come. I will have videos below you can view and decide on your own. I don't want to confuse you but you need to hear both views. I can tell you not all of it has been fulfilled, there is more to come soon.

The tribulation is a period of time during which God will defeat Satan and the ungodly powers on earth, instate Jesus as King over the entire world, and destroy and rebuild the earth and heavens. The exact events and their order are debated across denominations and hermeneutical interpretations. According to a dispensational, straight-forward reading of the Bible, the end times consist of the rapture of the church, the seven-year tribulation, the Battle of Armageddon in which Satan and the demons are cast into the Abyss, the 1000-year reign of Christ, the release of Satan and the final battle, and the creation of the new heavens and new earth.
In between the rapture of the church and the millennial kingdom is the seven-year period during which the Antichrist comes to rule by the power of Satan. In Daniel 9:24-27, Daniel received a prophecy regarding the future of Israel. Seventy weeks (groups of seven years, or a total of 490 years) were to pass after which sin would end, iniquity would be atoned for, everlasting righteousness would be instated, and the holy place anointed. The beginning of the seventy weeks would be the issuing of the decree to restore Jerusalem (which happened in c. 445 BC by King Artaxerxes of Persia; see Nehemiah 2:1-8). After sixty-nine weeks, the Messiah would arrive and then be cut off — marked by the triumphal entry of Christ and then His crucifixion.
The final week of years is the tribulation. What we've come to understand that Daniel didn't know is that the church age was not included in those seventy weeks. The seventy weeks were the time designated for God to work through the nation of Israel. Between the sixty-ninth and the seventieth week, have now been almost 2000 years of God working through the church. But the final week will occur, and we know it as the tribulation, which is described in Daniel 9:26-27.
In that seven-year period, Jesus identified the last half as the "great tribulation." It will begin with the revealing of the Antichrist (Matthew 24:21). It will last for forty-two months (Revelation 13:5) or three and a half years. And it will end with the second coming of Christ (Matthew 24:29-30).
In the beginning of the tribulation, the Antichrist will make a seven-year peace treaty with Israel and her enemies (Daniel 9:26-27). But at the mid-point, when the Antichrist apparently recovers from a fatal wound, he will blaspheme God and the temple, persecute the saints, and rule the world (Revelation 13:1-10). Daniel says the Antichrist will put a stop to the sacrifices and the grain offerings. Revelation says that believers will be imprisoned and martyred.
Israel will suffer greatly. Israel's distress will be greater than Israel had experienced before (Daniel 12:1; Jeremiah 30:7).
Another facet of the sufferings on the earth is that the Great Tribulation is the point in time when God will punish the earth. While the Antichrist is hunting believers and persecuting Jews, God will punish the unbelievers who have rejected Him. Revelation 13—19 describe His judgments. Specifically, Revelation 14:9-11 promises eternal damnation for those who worship the Beast. Chapter 16 describes the seven bowls of wrath, which include sores, the waters becoming like blood, fierce heat from the sun, and darkness.
Near the end, the Euphrates River will dry up, allowing armies from the east to march toward Israel for war (Revelation 16:1-21).

Just to let you know the the Euphrates River is drying up already. Click here

The Battle of Armageddon will pit nations against the armies of the Antichrist. Finally, Jesus and the armies of heaven will join the fight (Revelation 19:11-21). Earthly armies will be slaughtered. The Antichrist and his Prophet will be thrown alive into the lake of fire. An angel will bind Satan and throw him into the bottomless pit, sealing him for one thousand years (Revelation 20:3).
The Great Tribulation will be horrific. Between the warring nations, the Antichrist grasping for power, and God's wrath against the world, it is not a time anyone will want to live through.
