As I grow older I certainly hope I don't know less than I did when I was younger. I think age (maturity) brings the realization you don't have to go around making a big show of what you know. I know when I was younger I never wasted an opportunity to spout off about things of which I was clueless.

It's just a "perspective" of the pride that is in mankind and as one ages it should humble us.

What makes you think the Tribulation has already come and Gone? I don't understand how a person comes to that Conclusion.
Some think the tribulation Jesus mentioned to his disciples was fulfilled at the destruction of Judea/Jerusalem in 67-70AD, which is probably correct. Some go too far IMO and wrongly consider the tribulations of Revelation to be fulfilled also,

Well it hasn't, if the tribulation had come there wouldn't be a question mark about it, you'd know it! They come to that conclusion to fit an incorrect belief they have.

tribulation vs Great Tribulation?

Why is there not a Difference?

In today's Dispensation Of GRACE, According To "The Revelation Of The Mystery"
to Paul, Christ, from Heaven, Revealed to him, and to us { The Body Of Christ }:

Precious friends, for The Church, Which is HIS { Heavenly } Body Of CHRIST, Today,
Under God's PURE GRACE,
we have Already had tribulation for Nearly 2000 years:

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have Peace with God through
our LORD JESUS CHRIST: By Whom also we have access by faith into This
GRACE Wherein we stand, and rejoice in Hope of The Glory of God.
And not only so, but we glory {cp} in tribulations also: knowing
that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and
experience, Hope: And Hope maketh not ashamed; because The
Love Of God Is Shed Abroad in our hearts By The Holy Ghost Which
Is Given Unto us!" ( Romans 5:1-5 cp 2 Corinthians 11:23-30 AV)​
Also compare Christ's [ Heavenly ] Revelation to Paul, for/to us, about:

sufferings (Romans 8:18; 2 Corinthians 1:5-7 + 9-10 = 'deliverance'; Philippians 4:10 AV)

trouble (2 Corinthians 1:4, 8; Galatians 1:7, 5:12 AV)

persecution ( Galatians 6:12; 2 Timothy 3:12 AV)

distress (1 Thessalonians 3:7 AV)

afflictions (2 Corinthians 4:17, 8:2; 1 Thessalonians 1:6, 3:7 AV)

infirmities (Romans 8:26, 15:1; 1 Timothy 5:23 AV)
+
"Who shall separate us from The Love Of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" (Romans 8:35 AV)

Isn't God's GRACE ALL-Sufficient For all of these things?
God's Grace Word for our infirmities!

"And to make all men see what is the fellowship of The Mystery,
Which from the beginning of the world Hath Been Hid In God, Who​
Created all things By Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 3:9 AV)​
According To The Mystery [ "Hid In God From The Beginning the world",
Revealed To
Paul ( and written In Romans Through Philemon AV ) ]
+
The END of this tribulation of The Body Of Christ Is God's Great GRACE Departure!,
According To The:


Mystery - - Then, After our Departure!...:
Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):
Prophecy:

In the future Continuation Of God's [ Other ] Prophetic Program To the twelve and
nation of Israel, Christ, on the earth, Taught them That:

{ Earthly } ISRAEL the UNbelieving nations Will, on the earth, go through The
GREAT tribulation:

"For then shall be Great Tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the​
world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." (Matthew 24:21 cp Revelation 7:14 AV)​
According To:
Prophecy [ "made known since the foundation of the world" Acts 3:21 AV ] revealed In:
Genesis - John, Hebrews - Revelation

Amen.

Did you know the book of Revelation ( which is in essence about the revealing of Christ Jesus) lines up quite well with the
Olivet Discourse, it is quite impressive.

I have looked at it and think a person has to have a really active imagination to reach that conclusion

Funny, I was thinking it takes aaaaaa loooot of imagination to use the news to understand Bible prophecy.
People are wasting their time trying to match it to current events. Nothing will really change unti the rules based order is destroyed in nuclear war, and then things will beome readily apparent.

Interesting, in your view eschatology will unfold after nuclear war?
You think the anti-Christ will come after that?

Yes. IMO the first 4 trumpets are nuclear war and its aftermath. Then great turmoil for a 5-month period when the 5th trumpet blows, and then the 6th trumpet will blow beginning the 1260-day reign of the beast, two witnesses, etc. Something like that

Thankfully a kind, very knowledgeable man who sadly has left CC led me out of future trib/rapture etc with undeniable exegesis as to why it is not in the future.

It has been a while since I have read Hal Lindsay et. al are you pretrib, mid wrath or a post trib person?
Does anything happen before the nuclear war?

Who was the person? I was hwre a while before this.

I'm pre-wrath, ie, the 7 bowls of wrath are poured out immediately after the resurrection. There will be a lot of war like we're beginning to see now, but on a larger, possibly world war scale before the trumpets begin to sound.

Yes I remember you.

From what I remember you did not engage him on that topic .. he mostly stayed on the News Thread it would have been around 2017 or so.

Well you will not believe me but "wars and rumors of wars" needs to be understood within the Pax Romana of the time.
