Has the Tribulation Already Started?


 

The Tribulation has not started yet. ▶️ Biblical Basis: •Daniel 9:27 describes the Tribulation beginning with the signing of a covenant between a future ruler (the Antichrist) and Israel: “And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week…” This covenant has not yet been signed. •Matthew 24:15 speaks of the Abomination of Desolation standing in the holy place, signaling the midpoint of the Tribulation. For this to happen, a Third Temple must exist — and currently, it does not. •2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 teaches that the man of lawlessness (Antichrist) must be revealed before the Day of the Lord (Tribulation judgments). He has not yet been revealed. •Revelation 6–19 details horrific judgments: seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments — global devastation, famine, war, massive death. The scale of destruction described has not yet occurred. ▶️ Key Signs Missing Today: •No 7-year covenant signed with Israel •No Third Temple standing in Jerusalem •No global leader (Antichrist) demanding worship •No massive judgments as outlined in Revelation 6–19 ▶️ Where Are We Now? We are currently living in the Church Age — the time between Pentecost (Acts 2) and the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). The next major event on the prophetic calendar is the Rapture of the Church, before the Tribulation begins (Revelation 3:10, 1 Thessalonians 1:10).
