The great Tribulation

[Michelangelo]

Jesus was clear about the great tribulation.. Why do Christians still don't believe its real?

Where do you get the idea that Christians don't believe it is real?

Jesus was clear about the great tribulation.. Why do Christians still don't believe its real?

Many, many Christians are taught that it can't happen for a very long time due to badly (and intentionally) mistranslated prophecies - as well as churches and others teaching that Matt. 24 is not speaking of the end times.

All total hog wash.

So many Christians are led astray today it's a wonder that there are any who have a basic understanding of the Scriptures.

Lies, lies and more lies shoveled straight from the pulpit of almost every church in the world today. God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge today because they can't be bothered to study God's Word.

Could be happening any day now.
It sure feels like the horsemen are at least trotting through the land.
I am, like those under the Altar, crying "how long oh Lord".

I thought Christians did think it was real but some find it scary, some dont like to preach on it cause there trying to fill pews and get more donations, some think that gods people will be raptured away before it happens but this is just the more popular belief.

Now i think the rapture is real and so do most christians but this dosnt exactly mean it happens before the great tribulation. Just makes sense to most people that god takes his people and there caught up in the sky with jesus before the great tribulation but that dosnt mean how its going to happen and the bible dosnt say when.

I just dont think people saved or unsaved like an idea like great tribulation cause if jesus said that he is talking about pretty much hell is on earth. Dosnt sound like a real good time to me either.

I dont know? Any day now? Well 7 years of peace in Israel would need to happen first so were not seeing this yet.

After that then maybe "any day now" makes more sense. From what I understand at least.

You're describing what is called Post-Tribulation Rapture that you're saying you believe. That is very Biblical, it is what I subscribe to and it is discussed in Matt. 24:29-31.
