THE GREAT TRIBULATION

God's Word Teaches: That the Great Tribulation will occur after the Rapture and will be a time of terrible suffering on earth. It is also referred to as the time of "Jacob's trouble" Matthew 24:21,22,29; Revelation 9:16; Mark 13:19; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12; Revelation 13. During this time, the Antichrist will take possession of this world for a reign of terror. He will not be a system or organization but a person- a supernatural, diabolical being -in the form of a man who will blaspheme and proclaim himself to be God (Daniel 8:23-25; 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12; Revelation 13:1-10). The marriage supper of the Lamb will take place above while the Great Tribulation continues on earth (Revelation 19:1-10).
