Honestly, Doves - what part of this isn't intense tribulation? The letters to the 7 churches are specifically addressed to the churches WHICH ARE IN ASIA. This isn't just general tribulation that all Christians suffer in this world. This is intense. We, in the west, have no idea. And we expect this to continue for another 7 years after the rapture? I very much doubt it.
The 2 witnesses preach for 42 months. Israel (the woman) is protected for 42 months. All according to scripture. We are on the verge of WW3. Ezekiel's war. The details which match descriptions of the Day of the Lord. We await Almighty God's wrath.
