  • Jo Ann on Revelation 1 - 2 years ago
    Where can I find a description of the trials and tribulations? I know it is in Revelations, I just don't know the chapter.

    Thank you.

    Dear Jo Ann,

    Trials and Tribulations refer to times of testing or difficulties. It may be personal as a trial of your faith as mentioned in 1 Peter 1:6-7 or it may refer to a time of extreme suffering as referred to by Christ for the Jewish believers during the time when the world is under the control of the Antichrist. Matthew 24:21. That is known as the "great tribulation" and is what Revelation is about.

    Read everything in context and pray that the Holy Spirit give you understanding by comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

    Temptation is another word that can be used for personal trials. See 1 Corinthians 10:13. Remember that God always allows trials, tribulations and temptations to refine and grow our faith in Him and show us How much he loves us.
