What is the Tribulation?
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg delves into the concept of the tribulation in the context of biblical prophecy, questioning the traditional view held by evangelical Christians in America. He notes that there is no clear biblical evidence for a seven-year tribulation period or the pre-tribulation rapture and suggests that tribulation is a normative Christian experience. The interpretation of Daniel 9 and the timing of the last half of the 70th week are unclear and subject to varying opinions and theories. Despite this, believers are reminded to focus on being ready and occupying until Christ's return.
