The Bible talks a lot about tribulation, especially when it’s talking about the end times. Tribulation means trouble, affliction, anguish, or persecution. And Jesus told us to expect tribulation. Things are already pretty bad for some Christians (It’s been like that from the beginning) but we should expect things to get even worse. However, no matter how bad things get, it will all be worth it. Tribulation brings sorrow, Jesus will turn our sorrow into joy.
Bible Verses:
- Matthew 24:24:21 – Great Tribulation
- Revelation 7:13-14 – The Great Tribulation
- John 16:20-21 – So Worth It
- John 16:33 – Tribulation in This World
