The tribulation period is the period of time during the blowing of the seventh trumpet judgment when seven bowls of God's final judgment and wrath are being poured out upon the earth. Daniel speaks of this time as a time of trouble.
Daniel 12:1 "At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book.
Jesus also said, "There will be "Great Tribulation", such as has not been since the beginning of the world." Matthew 24:21
At the beginning of this period a great separation takes place in the church and those who made themselves ready were found worthy to escape to the place of refuge and the others were left behind to die by the sword of the antichrist or commit apostasy. This is the time known as the "great falling away." 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Revelation 13:16-17 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The goal in this study is to approach the subject by looking at all of the various clues that are found in the scriptures. By putting them together you will begin to see a clear picture emerging of the Second coming of Christ and the Church during the Great tribulation.
