We all have suffered loss of family members through death. This world has suffered 'tribulation' for thousands of years. I watched 'world news' this morning before writing this article, watching TV  is unusual for me,in 10 minutes watching the news I had trouble believing what I was seeing, the violence was overwhelming for me, that kind of news is surely 'tribulation '. If I never read the Bible and not knowing the end of the story, that would be 'terrifying' for me to see the world die without a savior. Now about 'tribulation' in my family, my father was in his early twenties when he was drafted in the service and ended up fighting on 'Normandy beach',I really do not want to write about what he saw, although he pictured for me a 'bad scene' on that day, my father has since retired after 30 years of service in the army. My son also was in the army fresh out of High School, we know as a family how rough it is not knowing where he was, waiting for a letter from him. I have for years visited former battlefields and came out in deep thought and troubled by the experience, the suffering of these 'soldiers' was on my mind,I was thinking about the families also that were waiting for a letter from their son that never came, and not knowing where he was buried,that was on my mind. One time I looked down and found out I was standing on an engraved stone,a marker where an officer was killed in action, now 'who' made me look down. I look back now and know 'Yehshua' was walking with me.---I saw a picture of a young teenage boy 'maybe 15 years old' with bare feet lying dead in a trench from our civil war. I have a young teenage boy that age,that age is so very young.---- The Lord 'Yehshua' had me work almost 10 years in a nursing home and hospital,I saw a very young teenage girl in there that was unable to get out of bed for the rest of her life in that nursing home, that's
'tribulation' to me. In my own life I had a battle with Satan when I was around twenty five years of age "I mean war" that nearly cost me my life and if it wasn't for 'Yehshua' my savior stepping in and rescuing me I would have been dead, I was under doctors care after that 'day' and had trouble walking for awhile because I was weak from that battle, that's 'tribulation'. I know that the time of the "great tribulation" is near, but at the end of 7 years 'Yehshua' will rule this world. 'Yehshua' knows that "every family" has suffered that is why I believe the Lord 'Yehshua' took me on a tour to visit battlefields.I can write a book about this subject. I bet I can "ask you" to help me write that book. God Bless you All for waiting for 'Yehshua' who died on the cross, he has shown great Love for us, the cross will Guarantee a finished work.AMEN!!
