The Tribulation
During a conversation a young man said this to me. “you are not even sure and you are still doubting, what is the meaning of tribulation? I am sharing this because I believe it’s that important. What is coming, and which people will be effected.
First, I am totally sure what is coming, and doubt is not in me! It was very easy to find the answer. This is the future during the tribulation for those who reject Jesus.
Those on earth will endure devastating judgments. The tribulation is a future seven-year period when God will finish His discipline of Israel and finalize His judgment of the unbelieving . The rise of the Antichrist (Rider on a White Horse, Rev. 6:1-2)

The Tribulation Clarifies the Seriousness of Rejecting Jesus
Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it.
Someday, I think soon it will be too late. Remember you have been warned.
