Like the other two positions, the
      post-tribulation view of m	ting
      Christ at his return to earth has
       significant Scriptural su ort.
       Post-tribulation Christians believe
        Christ’s words in Revelation 3:10
            point to Christians being
        protected during the Tribulation.





                                                                     Since you have kept
                                                                      my command to
                                                                      endure patiently, I
                                                                     will also keep you
                                                                      from the hour of
                                                                    trial that is going to
                                                                     come on the whole
                                                                      world to test the
                                                                     inhabitants of the
                                                                          earth.
                                                                        Revelation 3:10

                         But the post-tribulation view
                     counters that “K	p you from” does
                      not nece…arily mean “take out of,”
                       but rather to protect and k	p
                         one’s faith during this time.






















                                            Another key i…ue in regards
                                             the Tribulation is su‡ering.

                                                                         “If it is hard for the
