The Tribulation Period, as the name implies is a period when there will be perilous times on earth. Jesus mentioned this period of time and He described it as a time when things on earth are at their worst, ever. If you think things are bad now, Jesus said they will get even worse than they have ever been. This is when antichrist comes on the scene and he comes with his “A game.” All of these tribulations begin to take place when Satan realizes his time on earth is short; therefore, he will severely devastate mankind and his pursuit will be relentless.
The Tribulation period is commonly thought to be the last seven (7) years of time as we know it. Some refer to it as the last seven years before the end of the world. It is believed to be synonymous with the last week of Daniel’s seventy (70) weeks prophecy. One week is equivalent to seven years; therefore the Tribulation Period is believed to be the last seven years just prior to the end of this present age.
To summarize, the Tribulation Period is the last seven years of time on earth. It is that time when the earth is inundated with earthquakes, tsunamis, flooding, volcanic eruptions, lawlessness, poverty, sickness, disease, religious intolerance, and etc. Earth’s conditions are going to be so despicable, that mankind, from all walks of life, for the first time in history; cry out to God in unison and sincerity, triggering the intervention of God.
