A key concept in understanding that I picked up along the way was that the translation of Tribulation and Great Tribulation is confusing in english. In english we add words as descriptors to the front of the subject, like RED box, and GREAT tribulation. But in the original translation the word for great tribulation and tribulation are two different words.

This is indicated in Mathew 24 for example when Jesus said that tribulation would be earthquakes in diverse places, wars and rumors of wars but that the time was not yet, these are just the birth pangs.

The Great Tribulation is the period of God's wrath, a time AFTER the rapture. The generation (which as indicated in Genesis is 100 years) prior to that time is in the tribulation, but awaiting the Great Tribulation.

Once this is understood it clears up a whole lot of argument between pre-trib mid-trib and pre-wrath.

If the subject is the Great Tribulation then pre/mid/prewrath are all the same thing!

I’ve got some questions about this, and I thank you for posting it. But I have to wait to post more thoughtfully when I’m back in town. Perhaps someone else has something to say in the meantime... :-)

I am confused by these statements....

Once this is understood it clears up a whole lot of argument between pre-trib mid-trib and pre-wrath.

If the subject is the Great Tribulation then pre/mid/prewrath are all the same thing

Could you elaborate on how pre/mid/prewrath are all the same thing? Thank in advance!
