What does the Bible say about the tribulation?

Answer 1

Much will happen. Those who follow this particular theology expect the rise of the antichrist, the worlds last dictator (Revelation 13:16-18/14:9-11) to be the first event. He's probably out there somewhere today, maybe a young guy, maybe an adult (read 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 and 2 Thessalonians chapter 2). The US may fall during the final period of Revelation (pray for the US). Prophecy says that China/Russia have a sneaky plan for the USA. Australia I expect will see an Asian invader at sometime towards the end and Christs Second Coming. I expect this to be China at the end of the endtimes, so say many visons and prophecies to the Christian churches of Australia (the sins of the Australian people the reason God Will allow it). You can read Revelation chapter 6 onwards, but, as with all of Revelation its somewhat unnerving. If we keep our eyes on Jesus we do well. Pray frequently. And don't freak if strange things happen sometime in the future. My pastor has a good attitude. He says that the tribulation is all about God getting mans attention. Sort of God saying "hey you guys...stop that bad behaviour...and listen to me". The great hope is that God Will take His people home before the tribulation starts (this is the rapture of the church, engage a study on the rapture, as in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4).

Answer 2

Based on the book of Revelation, the Lord will return for 1000 years, satan will be bound for a thousand years. The Lord will reign over what is left of the earth after all the judgments. Not many people will be left, but those who have put their hope in the Lord will be with Christ in the 1000 year reign. This earth will finally have a true and just ruler!

Answer 3

The Bible states of the tribulation period that those who choose to not follow in the steps of the Lord will receive trials and tribulation. Thus going through difficult times, until the second coming happens. Some versions of the Bible says it lasts 7 years.
