8 years AgoDewey JJohn, very interesting subject. What it really come down to is weather your are a pre-tribulationist or post-tribulationist. One of the strongest argument pre-tribulationist have is Rev. 3:10 "Because thou hast kept the word of my patients, I also will keep thee from-not through-the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Others who can be viewed as post-tribulationist consider Scriptures like Dan. 12:3 "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Act. 8:1 "And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jewusalem and they were all scattered abroad through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 Tim. 3:12 " Yea-or yes-all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. In this case great tribulations or persecutions. I say what Matt. 24:42 says, "watch therefore for you know not what hour your Lord doth come. God bless us all and also in the understanding of his Word. Praise God through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.Amen!Flag

9 years AgoJohnZaphnathpaaneia and Asenath his gentile bride may well also represent a type of Christ and the Church, whereas those who remain in the house of Jacob Joseph 's brothers , facing the prophesied famine, could also represent the remant of the twelve tribes facing the tribution period descibed in the book of Revelation. This is a theory that has been written about by Clarence Larkin in his book 'Dispensational Truth '. It makes a lot of sense to me, much more than a lot of the anti-tribulation preaching that seems quite prevalent at the moment. It 'd be great to hear any thoughts anyone has about this! Many thanksFlag
