The 'Tribulation' is a nineteenth-century theological invention of John Nelson Darby, a British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren, and is not prophesied or even mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that the 'Tribulation' has its origins in 1830, when fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service, where she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren. The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice. The first return would be in secret, to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, before the Tribulation. Christ would return a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth.
Revelation does use the word 'tribulation', but always in the sense of affliction and hardships, and never in the sense that Darby proposed. Revelation also frequently uses
the number seven, but never mentions a future seven-year period of tribulation. Like the Rapture, the timetable of a seven-year period of tribulation is a recent development that dates back only to Darby's nineteenth-century system. It does not actually fulfil anything in the Book of Revelation.
Answer:Broadly, The Revelation to John teaches us that God will send a great tribulation on the earth (8:1-9:21); God's message will be heard and His kingdom revealed (10:1-11:19); Satan's war against Christ will fail (12:1-13:18); Christ will come to claim faithful believers but will execute vengeance on unbelievers (ch. 14); the last judgment will reveal God's justice (ch. 15-16); earthly powers who support the antichrist face God's judgment (17:1-19:5); Christ's coming will bring in a new heaven and a new earth (19:6-22:21).

Can you please explain to me what is tribulation?
The Tribulation is a seven-year period in which great disasters occur and MANY people die. Post-trib people believe this happens before the Rapture, when God calls the saved to heaven instantly. The more Biblical argument, Pre-trib is that the Rapture will take place before the Tribulation.
Is Jesus going to take the church home before the tribulation or after it?
This depends on which version of the Rapture you decide to believe in. The Rapture was a theological invention of to John Nelson Darby, a nineteenth-century British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from the Plymouth Brethren and his predictions.Those who still believe in the rapture hold different views, including a 'pre-tribulation' rapture, a 'post-tribulation' rapture and even a 'mid-tribulation' rapture. Similarly, they hold a wide range of opinions about when it will happen or what signs will precede the rapture. You can only be certain it will not happen in your lifetime or the lifetimes of your children or grandchildren.

To Whom was the Book of Revelation written for?
The book of revelation is doctrinally written to seven churches that will be on the earth during the time of the great tribulation. The Church of today will not be on the earth during the time that revelation unfolds on the earth. These tribulation churches will be required to believe and express faith in different ways much of the time than the Church of today. That is why much of what Christ says when speaking to these seven churches in revelation is somewhat different than what Paul wrote to the church of today in Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, ect.
