Dear Doves,Here is what Scripture tells us about tribulation. The Church has nothing to fear from tribulation! You must get over your 'fear of tribulation' , even great tribulation, before you can understand the TIMING OF THE RAPTURE:John 16:33"In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."Romans 12:11"not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer.."Romans 5:3"And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance..."Acts 14:22"We must through many tribulations enter the Kingdom of God."Revelation 2:10"Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer, .........you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life."Revelation 7:14"These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."Matthew 24:29"Immediately after the tribulation of those days.....Mark 13:24"In those days, following that tribulation.....Come Lord Jesus!Bruce Warner
