Wrath/tribulation????????

[Justme]

Hi Forum,

I asked this question beore, but I can't find the thread......

The wrath of God and the great tribulation that precedes the coming of the son of man........

Are they the same thing? Are they parts of the same event? If not, how are they connected? Need Christians fear the great tribulation? The wrath of God?

Thanks

Don't know if about fearing the tribulation, but I would think everyone should fear the wrath of God.

Hi kripper,

So you consider them as different events maybe??

If you try to hide things from God by not going to confession and telling them to him openly, then I think there is even more of a reason to fear God's wrath.

If God truly has wrath, then I am afraid we all are greatly in trouble. If God has wrath, He would surely have destroyed this world long ago for this world is full of things and people worthy of His wrath. I think it is not His wrath that allows good people to die and people who do evil things to live.

Hmm . . . good question. I guess I never really gave it much thought. But I guess I would say that, generally speaking, when I hear talk of "tribulation" or "the tribulation," it is usually referring to a very specific biblical end-time prophecy, whereas God's "wrath" is not always this specific event. So I guess I would speculate that although "the tribulation" could be considered a manifestation of God's "wrath," every instance of God's "wrath" is not necessarily "the tribulation."

Hi Skripper,

Well, I'll be, as simple as that. I agree entirely.

Thanks

LOL! That ain't easy for me sometimes . . . I can be somewhat long-winded at times.
