Tribulation Ends with the Beginning of the Millennial Reign

Can we know the end of the Tribulation Period? The answer is yes! There is Biblical proof that you can know when the Tribulation Period is over. Let's look at some of these signs.

The First Sign of the End  

To solidify that there is an end, there must be a beginning. Jeremiah 30:7 predicts the start of troubles for the Jews. "Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it."

Since you can't know peace without war, there can't be a tribulation period without first being a time when there is no threat of violence to the Nation, Israel. Although there are threats of destruction for Israel almost daily, she experiences a time of prosperity and hope. However, there comes a time when she will be run out of her country, hunted down like animals and killed. Yet there is still hope.

In the above scripture, Jeremiah predicts that "Jacob" or Israel will be saved through this period of destruction of her people. A remnant shall return Isaiah 1:9, "Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah."

Currently, I am working on a novel, Separate Servant, whose premise is about the leader of the remnant of Israel who goes through the Tribulation Period unscathed. Sign up for my newsletter and receive a free, online copy of the book when it publishes.

Again, Isaiah 10:22, "For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness."

So, the first sign you see of trouble for Israel from which she narrowly escapes comes from the Old Testament of the Torah.

The Second Sign of the End

The next sign of an end to Tribulation comes from the fact that it has to begin. Daniel first mentions an abomination of desolation coming on Israel. Look what he says, "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (Daniel 9:26--27). See Daniel 9 His Prayer the Conclusion Explained posted on this blog. For quick reference click here.

Further, Jesus tells you in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 to look for the "abomination of desolation spoke of by Daniel the Prophet. He says that after the antichrist breaks the treaty with Israel, he will make his headquarters in Jerusalem, begin to kill the Jews and desecrate the temple by having a statute of himself erected in the Temple. Jesus warns that when the Jews see this event taking place they need to flee the city.

You now have two signs to look for: The start of Jacob's troubles is when Israel signs a pact with the devil's representative at the beginning of the Tribulation period. The treaty will allow them to begin animal sacrifice in the Temple as they did before the destruction of the Temple in AD 70. The antichrist breaks the treaty in the middle of the seven years, i.e. after three-and-a-half years. He sets himself up as God and offers sacrifices on the altar in the Temple, erects a statute of himself in the Temple and begins to murder the Jews and followers of Jesus.

The Tribulation Ends

Although the antichrist tries to destroy the Jews, the judgments brought about by the Lord reclaiming His title deed to the earth he created begin to take place in earnest the last three-and-a-half years of the Tribulation Period. Chaos reigns supreme! The whole topography of the earth is changed and billions of people are destroyed in the process.

In the end, only a remnant of Jews remain, and only a portion of the human population comes through the Tribulation. Even these are weeded out at the judgment of Matthew 25. After which, those  who have been saved along with the remnant of Jews will enter the Millennial Reign with Jesus.

The end of the Tribulation Period comes seven years after the beginning of antichrist's reign. He can be recognized when he comes out of an Old Roman Empire country. He will immediately take over three of the smaller countries from the same empire. Then, he will begin to rule the whole world: first by the countries of the world acquiescing to his rule; second by his takeover of the rest of the world by force.

After he has reigned for seven years, Jesus will return to reign supreme for 1000 years, i.e. the Millennial Reign. Who enters this period with Jesus?

    Those who help a Jewish brother or sister (Matthew 25).

    Those who are saved during the Tribulation Period and remain alive (Revelation 7).
