What triggers the 7 years tribulation? Let
me go deeper to what triggers the tribulation with
Paul's teaching.
In 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul says the day of
the Lord shall come as a thief in the night.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the
day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
No one knows when will the thief come
during the night. Basically Paul teaches no one knows
when will the day of the Lord begin. The day of
the Lord shall come as a thief in the night. And since
day of the Lord is a term for 7 years tribulation, we
learn it from Zephaniah 2, the beginning of 7 years
tribulation is unknown to anyone. If it is the
confirmation of covenant which begins the tribulation,
and since there is preparation to this ceremony, it
can't be unknown to nations and people, including
Israel.
The only event which is unknown to us and
shall come as a thief in the night is RAPTURE. Paul
teaches rapture triggers the day of the Lord. It shall
come as a thief in the night, unknown to anyone,
catching everyone surprise, and triggers the day of the
Lord aka 7 years tribulation.
