I knew what you meant, lol, I am no stranger to typos!
We must read the scriptures from God’s perspective and not mans.
What would tribulation be to God, people dying outside of Christ lost or those in Christ being killed for their faith and glory for all eternity with Christ ahead of them? Clearly the former and not the latter.
The end times are to be marked by apostasy and deception. Matthew 24 is the clearest description of what is happening, there Jesus returns after the tribulation.
The Church has endured 2,000 years of physical persecution, some severe, some mild, but always there. What is different is the mass apostasy that has occurred the last 50 years and the Church no longer proclaiming Jesus as the way, the truth and the life. It is stunning and surely must mean Jesus stands at the door........
Amen
