[The Tribulation, or Time between the Rapture and the Revela-
tion in which there will be a period of seven years, (1) at the com-
menceinent of which those Jews who shall have returned to their
land in unbelief, (2) and have rebuilt or be rebuilding their temple,
(3) enter into a seven-years' covenant with the Antichrist. (4) On
the expiration of three and a half years he is revealed in his true
character as the Man of Sin, (5) kills the two witnesses who had
been prophesying during that time, (6) stops the daily sacrifice
which had been resumed, (7) and has his own Image set up in the
Holy Place. (8) The Devil and his angels are cast out into the
earth, having great wrath, because their time is short. (9) Then
follow, during the last three and a half years (10) the treading
under foot of the holy city (11) and the time of the "great tribula-
tion, such as was not since the beginning of the world, no, nor ever

(14) shall come upon all the world; (15) the penalty of death being
suffered by as many as refuse to worship the Image of the Beast,
(16) and unparalleled persecution undergone by all who have not
received his mark. (17) A third part of the Jews in the land are
brought through this time of trouble, (18) and are gathered by the
Lord into Jerusalem, (19) to be purged of their dross. (20) The
