WHAT WILL THE PRE-TRIB BELIEVERS SAY IN JUSTICE TO THE PREVIOUS GENERATIONS WHO FACED PERSECUTIONS?
Question: If you think that pre-tribulatíon is exclusive for the last terminal generation alone, what will you say to all those in the previous generation who have gone through to experience Tribulation and Martyrdom. How will you serve justice ⚖️.
Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!
To distinguish between the general "tribulation" the Church has faced historically and the specific "Great Tribulation" mentioned in Scripture, here are five key points:
THE PROMISE OF GENERAL AFFLICTION: Jesus told his followers, "In the world you will have tribulation" (John 16:33). Since the first century, the Church has consistently faced persecution, martyrdom, and trial as a standard part of the Christian experience.
CONTINUOUS HISTORICAL REALITY: From the Roman Coliseum to modern-day religious restrictions, there has never been a century where Christians were not suffering for their faith. In this sense, "tribulation" is a protracted era rather than a single event.
DIFFERENCE IN INTENSITY (THE "GREAT" DISTINCTION): While the Church suffers now, the "Great Tribulation" is described by Jesus as a specific period of unparalleled distress "such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be" (Matthew 24:21).
GLOBAL VS LOCAL SCOPE: Historical tribulations are often regional (e.g., specific to the Middle East or early Rome). The Great Tribulation is presented as a cosmic and global climax involving all nations and divine judgments that affect the very fabric of nature.
THE "BIRTH PANG" ANALOGY: The last two thousand years and specially the last hundred years are often viewed as "birth pains"—reoccurring and painful, but serving as a prelude. The Great Tribulation is the final "delivery," a unique, non-repeatable transition into the Messianic kingdom.
SALIENT SIGNS OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION Unlike the general trials of the last 2,000 years, the Great Tribulation is marked by specific, world-altering events:
THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION: A defining sign mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 24:15, where a "man of lawlessness" stands in the holy place of a rebuilt temple, claiming to be God.
UNIVERSAL DECEPTION AND MIRACLES: False Christs and false prophets will arise, performing "great signs and wonders" so convincing they could almost deceive the elect (Matthew 24:24).
COSMIC DISTURBANCES: The period concludes with literal, terrifying changes in nature: the sun is darkened, the moon turns to blood, and stars "fall from the sky" (Matthew 24:29; Revelation 6:12-13).
THE MARK OF THE BEAST: A global system of economic control where individuals must receive a mark to buy or sell (Revelation 13:16-17).
UNPRECEDENTED SEVERITY: Jesus explicitly stated this period would be so severe that "unless those days had been shortened, no life would have been saved" (Matthew 24:22).
I stand MID-TRIB which means, the Rapture can happen anytime after the mid-point of Daniel 70th week. Meaning, until the mid-point of Daniel 70th week, it is the same birth pangs of last two thousand years but with increased intensity, BUT AFTER MID-POINT THE SURGING DELIVERY PAINS OF GREAT TRIBULATION TAKES PLACE, TO BRING THE NEW MILLENIAL RULE OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE CHURCH ON EARTH! Glory to God!
So those who have watched and prayed will be Raptured, those who have disobeyed Jesus Christ warning will end up in the Great Tribulation to be refined and become a witness for the glory of God. Many will die as Martyrs to rise up with a Millenial body in the First Resurrection of the Martyrs at the second coming of Jesus Christ. And some will live through the Tribulation to enter into God's Millenial Kingdom in their physical body, to multiply and increase to live for a thousand years physically for the first time for the glory of God.
Much Blessings......
