What is the Purpose of the Endtimes Tribulation?
God uses the Tribulation to: (1) formally polarize the beliefs of all people (those remaining to the end) as to whether they will formally accept or deny the Gospel; (2) as a means for Christ to win back the Title Deed of the Earth from Satan; and (3) as a means to discipline the church and world’s people in the final pattern sequence and then deliver believers at its end. When all people who are to live, have lived, and have made formal binding decisions to accept or deny the Gospel, then Christ can bring the termination of history.
