Tribulation
The Church in Tribulation
“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name….This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” - Matthew 24:9-14 NASB
Is the church in tribulation now?

Not in THIS country, we’re not! *YET*!!!!
I agree with clintspirations. Not yet, but it’s coming.
Ditto on the above answers.
Hello Randy!
I don’t think so, but I know a lot of people who do.
it sure does appear that we could very well be in the beginning stages of the tribulation when you look around at what is happening, doesn’t it….
have a great Sunday!
Tribulations — Jesus said we would experience in this world, but NOT the Tribulation concerning end times.
I don’t think it’s as bad as it could be… but I’m sure in some places, it is.
I don’t think the church is in anymore trouble then we always have been. I notice though when the Amish would come in the office that I would try to hide the offensive magazines-like with Brittney Spears on it and they said,”you can’t hide the tv in the waitting room” but I really am more conscience of the world and the spiritual world when they are around then I do with anyone else so it shows me what we christians have accepted as everyday life in the U.S.
I think it is heading in that direction.
It is definitely coming, but we haven’t begun to see it. In fact, from my understanding of God’s Word, I don’t believe that as true Christians we will be here to experience it.
Maybe in other parts of the world.
Forgive me for sounding negative here, but we barely even have, “church,” in this country. Our churches are more of self help gatherings and gatherings on how to become RICH w/ Jesus Christ as a side dish. – I live in Tx, where there are MEGA CHURCHES all over the place, in these churches are ppl who shack up, drink like there’s no tomorrow and have casual sex as if Christ will never return.
As for the trib, NO, we’re not in it, and no one else is yet either. – When we can’t buy or sell and when they are lopping our heads off for believing in Christ, then we will be in the tribulation. The trials ppl are experiencing now pale in comparison to what’s ahead.
Thanks for asking.
God Bless!
Nope, I don’t think so!
