1. Prophetic Coming Events (The Tribulation Period)

2. The Tribulation Period – Rev Chapters 6-18
The scriptures tell us there is coming a time on earth the likes of which have never been seen in reference to death, suffering, as a result of God’s judgment! Billions will die! The earth’s environment will be wrecked! And yet, it will be a time of incredible, countless salvations!!
It is a time of the temporary judgment of God Almighty towards unbelievers.
Tribulation comes from a Latin term that describes an agricultural tool used to “separate husks from corn”. The implication is: A time to separate.
The seven year period is started by the signing of a “Peace Treaty” between Israel and the Antichrist.
