*Note: this topic is addressed in the following videos –> What is the Great Tribulation? and Daniel 11:32-35: The Great Tribulation
After his successful invasion of Israel, Daniel 11:32 says the Antichrist will use flattery to corrupt anyone that rejects God’s promises to Israel, particularly the Jewish people’s right to the Promised Land. The Great Tribulation will have arrived. Jesus described the Great Tribulation in Matthew 24:9-28. The fourth and fifth seals of Revelation 6 also examine this coming period.
Although many Christians will abandon the Lord during this period, there will be a powerful remnant. Daniel 11:32 prophesies that “the people who know their God will display strength and take action.” Daniel 11:33 says that faithful followers of Jesus will point to fulfilled prophecies and declare the soon return of the King. For boldly standing with Christ, His followers will be captured, plundered and killed. Daniel 11:34 does say that Christians will receive some help from non-Christians that refuse to worship the Antichrist and take his mark. Unfortunately, it also says that some people will infiltrate underground churches to betray Christ-followers. Many believers will suffer, but Daniel 11:35 says that these trials are going to refine and purify followers of Jesus while we wait for His return.
