of the 15 uses of the word "tribulation" in the NT, 10 times refers to tribulation of the church, 4 times to the end time, and once (!) to the world! Perhaps you should ponder John 16:33. "In this world, you will have tribulation..."

[au contraire:] of the 15 uses of the word "tribulation" in the NT, 10 times refers to tribulation of the church, 4 times to the end time, and once (!) to the world! Perhaps you should ponder John 16:33. "In this world, you will have tribulation..."

Good point. You just put the lie to a major teaching of pre-trib rapture proponents, that tribulation is ONLY for the world. Despite the plain words of our Lord.
