🚨🚨🚨Children of Zion, after much thought and study, I have 'officially' come to the conclusion that truly, the Great Tribulation was actually the slave trade, specifically starting from the Spanish Inquisition, from whence...

[A Thread]
the Israelites were sent forth into hundreds of years of tribulation and suffering.

In order to establish this fact, we must first deconstruct the popular Christian theology on this largely discussed event (the great tribulation).
The mainstream christian eschatology teaches that, based on Matthew 24, the great tribulation will occur for 7 years, and it'll be when the Israelites are back in their land. The theology also...
teaches that a temple will be built again and that in the middle of the 7 years period, the antichrist (who they always tout to be a political influential leader) will storm into Jerusalem and set himself in the temple as God, and then torture and kill...
every Israelite who refuses to pay homage and worship him.

This is, in a nutshell, what christianity today teaches as the Great Tribulation.
Alright! Now let's point out the holes in this doctrine.
First of all, the prophecies, especially in the old testament(Joel 3, Amos 9 & 1, Obadiah, etc), tells us time and time again, that Israel will not be gathered together again as a nation,...
until The Messiah Himself, returns and does the gathering.
Secondly, when looking at the scriptures squarely, there's not a single verse that talks about a great tribulation that lasts for 7 years.
And with that knowledge, it will be practically impossible for a scattered Israel to build a temple; and knowing that Israel's next gathering together as a nation, will be BY JESUS Himself, this begs the question- where and when was the Great Tribulation?
Also have it in mind that, on every occassion which God brought back the Israelites from captivity, He made sure that they had repented, and they ALWAYS served and worshipped Him in their return from captivity (and same will happen in the next gathering (Jeremiah 31))...
But that can't be said of the people who call themselves Israel today.

Now let's look at Matthew 24, specifically verse 21...

Matthew 24:21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
The word 'tribulation', in it's original Greek translation 'thlipsis', means 'suffering' or 'affliction'; so you could call it 'Great Suffering' or 'Great Affliction'.

Now, christians fail to remember one 'little' detail, the great tribulation/affliction is called...
Jacob's Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7; also, read the whole chapter too). This means that it is SPECIFICALLY for the Israelites, it isn't a worldwide event that'll affect every Christian on earth.

As for Luke 21:20-23 (this chapter parallels Matthew 24), this was fulfilled...
about 40 years after the ascension of Jesus up to heaven; it is a historical fact. Read each of those verses CAREFULLY; the Romans fulfilled it, subsequently causing the Israelites to flee from their land in 70AD, and the final decimation of Jerusalem and Israel, was done...
by Vespasian and Titus in 130AD.

Over 1,000,000 Israelites fled into Africa during that period.
Matthew 24:21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Luke 21:24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden...
down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

These verses are mirror verses, but they piece the details together.
Israel would pass through great tribulation, which will be when they're led captive to ALL nations, so this debunks...
the popular 'great tribulation in the land of Israel, with the Israelites gathered back in their land' doctrine.

We can also clearly see, that the land of Israel will be occupied by gentiles until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled; and we know that the return of Christ...
is what ends the times of the gentiles, meaning that the great tribulation had to have happened sometime in the past...not in the future.

This brings us back to the previously mentioned verses of Matthew and Luke.
We know who the Israelites really are (If you don't, then...
you can read my pinned thread), and we know what they went through for over 400 years- slavery; the crudeness of the suffering/affliction has reduced quite significantly, but there still remains elements of affliction still being perpetuated against the Israelites in their...
land of captivity(racism, police brutality, racial profiling, random killings, no reparations,etc)

There's a verse(Matthew 24:21) which tells us that this affliction will be worse than ever before, and there'll be no other affliction like it again; it's a once in history event.
Can you mention any event of affliction comparable to the slave trade, in the history of mankind?

Luke 21:25-28
[25]And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
[26]Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
[27]And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
[28]And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

As you can see, the events that happen after the slavery and affliction, completely aligns with the prophecies of Jeremiah 30 & 31, Amos 1 & 9, Obadiah, &...
a plethora of other prophecies in the scriptures.

This is the actual timeline of the great tribulation.
The Great Tribulation/Affliction was slavery of the Israelites, and redemption occurs at the return of the Messiah.
Remember, it's called Jacob's Trouble, not World's Trouble.
In these last days, there is a tremendous awakening going on...
Please, I beg you, don't let the bus pass you by.
1 Thessalonians 5:5-6
[5]Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
[6]Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Shalom!
