When thou art in tribulation and all these things have come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God and shalt be obedient unto His voice (for the LORD thy God is a merciful God), He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He swore unto them.
Deuteronomy 4:30-31

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, `Lo, here is Christ,' or `there,' believe it not. For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Therefore, if they shall say unto you, `Behold, He is in the desert!' go not forth; or `Behold, He is in the secret chambers!' believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east and shineth even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and with great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. "Now learn a parable of the fig tree: When his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour, knoweth no man, no, not the angels of Heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark and knew not until the flood came and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken and the other left. "Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken into.Therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.
Matthew 24:19-44

For in those days shall be affliction such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved; but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days. And then if any man shall say to you, `Lo, here is Christ!' or, `Lo, He is there!' believe him not; for false christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed; behold, I have foretold you all things. "But in those days, after that tribulation, `the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.' And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall He send His angels and shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. "Now learn a parable of the fig tree: When her branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near. So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man -- no, not the angels who are in Heaven, neither the Son, but only the Father. "Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. Watch ye therefore, for ye know not when the Master of the house cometh -- at evening, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning -- lest coming suddenly, He find you sleeping. And what I say unto you, I say unto all: Watch!"

What is the tribulation

by NR Caetta


What to do if you miss the rapture

After the rapture of the church (the body of believers are taken up into Heaven by God), then a 7 year tribulation period will begin.

All the events that transpire during this 7 year period are not only in the Book of Revelation, but also in several Old Testament books- Ezekiel, Daniel, and Jesus spoke about it in Matthew 24.

These events that will happen were revealed to John the Apostle by Jesus Christ. The seals being opened are conflict on earth, famine, death, and cosmic disturbances. The seven trumpets or judgments sounding represent terrible hail, fire, water turning to blood, all the fish in the ocean die, heaven and earth will be shaken. Locusts from the bottomless pit will be turned loose on the earth to torment those who have the mark of the antichrist on them. The man of sin, or antichrist, will be ruling the nations of the world and controlling every person. This man will claim to be God and demand that everyone worship him or be killed, but at the end of the seven years an angel comes down from Heaven seizes Satan, throws him into the bottomless pit, and chains him up for 100 years.

This marks the beginning of the 1,000 year reign of Christ.


Scripture References:

  • Revelation 6 through Revelation 19- speaks about the 7 seals, and the 7 trumpets which are the judgments.
  • Revelation 20- speaks about Satan being chained up for 1,000 years.
  • Ezekiel 38- tells of all the nations coming to battle against Israel during the tribulation period.
  • Ezekiel 39- God steps in and saves Israel and destroys Russia coming down from the north, and the other nations of the world.
  • Matthew 24- Jesus gives us some signs to warn us before this tribulation period begins.
  • 2 Peter 3:10- tells about the day of the Lord and what will happen to the heaven and earth.


But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

  • Daniel 7 through Daniel 12- tells of Daniels vision, the invading armies. Chapter 11:36-39 describes the king or antichrist- he will have no desire for women. Chapter 12 continues the prophecy on end times.


"And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his place shall he honor the god of forces; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold and silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the greatest strongholds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory. And he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price. Daniel 11:36-39


Ed Hindson explains the pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, and post-tribulation theories.


An awesome song about the tribulation along with scenes from the film "Six: The Mark Unleashed" which is a fictional account about what could occur during the tribulation period.
