[1] {tribulation}
The great tribulation is the period of unexampled trouble predicted
in the passages cited under that head from Psa 2.5 to Re 7.14 and
described in Re 11.-18. Involving in a measure the whole earth
# Re 3:10
it is yet distinctly "the time of Jacob's trouble"
# Jer 30:7
and its vortex Jerusalem and the Holy Land. It involves the people
of God who will have returned to Palestine in unbelief. Its duration
is three and a half years, or the last half of the seventieth week of
Daniel
» See Note "Da 9:24"
# Re 11:2,3
The \\elements\\ of the tribulation are: (1) The cruel reign of the
"beast out of the sea"
# Re 13:1
who at the beginning of the three and a half years, will
break his covenant with the Jews (by virtue of which they will have
re-established the temple worship,
# Da 9:27
and show himself in the temple, demanding that he be worshipped as God
# Mt 24:15 2Th 2:4
(2) The active interposition of Satan "having great wrath"
# Re 12:12
who gives his power to the Beast
# Re 13:4,5
(3) The unprecedented activity of demons
# Re 9:2,11
and (4) the terrible "bowl" judgments of Re 16.
The great tribulation will be, however, a period of salvation. An
election out of Israel is seen as sealed for God
# Re 7:4-8
and, with an innumerable multitude of Gentiles
# Re 7:9
are said to have come "out of the great tribulation"
# Re 7:14
They are not of the priesthood, the church, to which they seem to
stand somewhat in the relation of the Levites to the priests under the
Mosaic Covenant. The great tribulation is immediately followed by the
return of Christ in glory, and the events associated therewith
