The term "Tribulation Period" in the Bible generally refers to a future time of intense suffering and turmoil that is prophesied to occur before the second coming of Christ. This concept is primarily drawn from eschatological texts, particularly in the books of Daniel (e.g., Daniel 12:1) and Revelation (e.g., Revelation 7:14). The Tribulation is often depicted as a time of great distress and persecution for believers, characterized by divine judgments upon the earth, which may include natural disasters, wars, and the rise of a figure commonly referred to as the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).In many interpretations, especially within dispensationalist theology, the Tribulation period is understood to last seven years, divided into two halves with the first half being a time of relative peace and the second half marked by unparalleled suffering and the "Great Tribulation" (Matthew 24:21). This period culminates in the return of Christ, who will establish His kingdom. The purpose of this time is often seen as a test of faith for believers and a means of bringing judgment to a world that has rejected God. The hope for Christians during this time is encapsulated in the promise of deliverance and eventual triumph over evil, as emphasized in passages like Revelation 21:4, where God promises to wipe away every tear and eliminate death and suffering.
