Those who are of the pre notion are not going to expect it at all, and may find themselves at a complete loss as to what they should do- thinking they would be in Heaven, and away from all of the nastiness that would be coming on the earth during that time, and with a mindset that is completely unprepared to deal with it. True. People only deliberately prepare for what they expect to encounter. However, if someone is walking in the truth of God's word, they will be prepared even though things may not turn out as expected. Being prepared is not a function of an exact eschatology but rather of a lifestyle of obedience to God. Granted, having a more accurate map might help one avoid minefields, but its not a prerequisite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zechariah 14:1-2. Revelation 13:7 As we see in Revelation 12: 6-17, the faithful Christians, who did not violate the Covenant; Daniel 11:32, will be taken to a place of safety on earth, but the other Christians must remain and face the GT. Rev 12:17 I will be with Jesus during the great tribulation days as He promised to keep us from that those days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tribulation is not about God's judgement, or His wrath. His wrath comes afterward, at the end, following the great pressure that is applied by the enemy. We don't serve a God of pressure, He isn't pressuring anyone into believing in Him, or there would be no free will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word mean pressure, that is what tribulation is. It has nothing to do with judgement or wrath of God, it is all about what the enemy is doing for that 3 1/2 year period he is waging war on the saints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which part of the definition of the word do you not understand? 2347 thlípsis – properly, pressure (what constricts, rubs together in a narrow place that "hems in"); tribulation, focusing on internal pressure that causes one to feel confined (restricted, "without options"). 2347/thlipsis ("compression, tribulation") brings the challenge of also coping with the internal pressure caused by the tribulation, especially feeling there is "no way of escape" because "hemmed in." Dealing with 2347/thlípsis ("compression, tribulation") is principally an "inside-out" matter. All pressure is ultimately internal and only truly dealt with by the Lord's inworking of faith. Accordingly 2347 (thlípsis) and 4102/pístis ("faith, God's inworked persuasion") are very closely connected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
