Wednesday, January 6, 2021 The Church and the Tribulation "And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God's Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment" (1 Thessalonians 1:10 nlt). There is some debate in the church as to when Jesus Christ will return. Some suggest that He will return midway through the Great Tribulation. Others say that Christians will have to go through the Tribulation, which will last for seven years. But I think it's quite clear from the following passage, as well as other Scripture, that Christians will not go through the Tribulation: "For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:9 nkjv). Now, I'm not saying that Christians won't go through tribulation. But I am saying that in my opinion, we won't go through the Great Tribulation. There's a difference. We all will experience trials and hardship and persecution as Christians. In fact, Jesus said, "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33 nkjv). The Great Tribulation the Bible speaks of is God's judgment on a generation of people whom He has amply warned of the wrath to come. However, you cannot find any instance in the Bible where God judged an individual or a nation and judged His people along with them.   CONTINUE READING →
