One other fact that is also interesting is The Tribulation. The tribulation talking about a period of 7 years is never mentioned in the Bible, there is one verse which could be tainted to look like it which is Revelation 7:14, which says: And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.


While if I set up the verse by saying this is those that came out of a 7 year tribulation, then great we can all accept this. But in the context of the verse, 'great tribulation' does not mention 7 years, at all. But my inference would be baseless. There are other verses which mention tribulation, but if I were to say that the above, the same conclusion would also meet the baseless end. Depending on who is teaching, the conclusion would be fact over opinion.
The opinion being the teacher trying to drive a preconcived conclusion on a idea that is false. If that idea is a 7 year period. Because there is no facts of a 7 year period, the conclusion would end in a period of time that could be 7 years, or anytime period. If we were to look at this more closely, we would determine that 7 years, would not be enough time for any of the described eventst to happen in, it would need more time. Like about 2000 years.
The tribulation that the Bible is talking about here is clear when you read the context, it is trying times and difficult periods that everyone faces. For more information, check out my new book here.
