THE Great Tribulation OR THE Day of the LORD? Which one is eisegesis (to interpret a text in a way that introduces your own ideas, biases, or agenda) and which one is exegesis (is to interpret scriptures from a careful study of scriptures in a careful process of biblical study without adding any interpretation outside of scripture)? So first lets look at scriptures that have great and tribulation in them.
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor euer shall be.
24:22 And except those dayes should be shortned, there should no flesh be saued: but for the elects sake, those dayes shall be shortned.
Revelation 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
2:23 And I will kill her children with death, and all the Churches shall know that I am hee which searcheth the reines and hearts: and I will giue vnto euery one of you according to your workes.
In those 2 verses they both say, “great tribulation” and reading it as it is written there will be a time of such distress, such horribleness, but neither verse says THE GREAT TRIBULATION. That is extremely important. So what does “great” mean in these verses and what does “tribulation” mean?

So why is this important? It is important because when we remove our opinion, and ideas out of scripture and allow scripture to read as it is written we will know the Truth and the Truth will make us free! Okay, now some say and teach that these verses say we will not go through “tribulation” yet, first off tribulation is not even in these scriptures and second the “day of the LORD” is not tribulation it is the final hour it is the literal wrath of God. But I do not want to get a head of myself.
1 Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, yee haue no need that I write vnto you.
5:2 For your selues knowe perfectly that the day of the Lord so commeth as a thiefe in the night.
5:3 For when they shal say, Peace and safety: then sudden destructio commeth vpon them, as trauaile vpon a woman with childe, and they shall not escape.
5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkenesse, that that day should ouertake you as a thiefe.
5:5 Yee are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkenesse.
5:6 Therefore let vs not sleepe, as doe others: but let vs watch and be sober.
5:7 For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that bee drunken, are drunken in the night.
5:8 But let vs who are of the day, bee sober, putting on the brestplate of faith and loue, and for an helmet, the hope of saluation.
5:9 For God hath not appointed vs to wrath: but to obtaine saluation by our Lord Iesus Christ,
5:10 Who died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him.
5:11 Wherefore, comfort your selues together, and edifie one another, euen as also ye doe.
We are children of light and that day will not overtake us a thief that is absolutely true. We are told throughout scripture the signs to look for, as well as we are told not to “sleep” (like the 5 foolish virgins), but to be watching and sober. What are we watching for? We are to be looking for the LORD at any moment when we first, see the son of perdition, hear and see the implementation of the mark, hear them say, “peace and safety” then know there will be sudden destruction which is the wrath of the Lamb coming in an hour they think not! Is this scripture? Yes! What many do not understand is the book of Revelation is not in a order, what I mean is you read Ch. 11 then in Ch. 12 it goes back in time to when Jesus was born then ascended up into Heaven. So, if we read it carefully we will find that the seal, the trumpets corralate together, The vials do not though because the vials are the wrath of the Lamb and those are poured out one after the other, I personally believe as in Job’s affliction before one ended another began and it will be exactly like that and everything will happen in an hour on the day of the LORD. Read the following scriptures.
