The “Tribulation” let alone the “Great Tribulation” 3 1/2 yrs appx. later has good reason for happening in addition to God’s reasons.
With the extreme “right” taking power across the World, the extreme “right” in the US [MAGA] in charge in the US and in US & World interactions, Global Warming [and denial of such even though it is very clear it exists], Cosmos changes that are taking place, existence of Nuclear weapons, Oceanic Jet Stream changes, World-wide wildfires and/or earthquakes, trees being cut down for business and settlement, and political policy and concepts of governments, the “Tribulation” is in start-mode.
The beginning of the “end of the age” started when Jesus was resurrected from His death on Calvary. Now we are “IN” the pre-start of the “Tribulation”, which is going to be horrific.
We, citizens of Earth, should get ready for the “shit-to-hit-the-fan” Worldwide.
