The Great Tribulation

Return of the Jews to Palestine

Matthew 24:32-34, Luke 21:29-31, Hosea 9:10 Israel is the Fig tree. These scriptures tell us to watch Israel and we see Israel starting to prosper again that the Rapture and the Tribulation are close at hand. Remember that Israel was admitted to the U.N. in 1949.

The Great Tribulation

Matthew 24:29 The Great Tribulation will take place after the Rapture of the Church.

Daniel 9:27 Seventieth week of Daniel is the 7 year period called the Great tribulation. The seven year tribulation period has to start at least 7 years before the second coming of Christ so that the Jews can live in peace in the Lord's sight for 1,000 years when He returns.
