This subject came up in another topic, and I wanted to explore it a little further, and get other people's opinion on it. What do you see is the purpose of the Tribulation?
Just to be fair, let me give my answer. I believe that the tribulation will serve 3 purposes.
1) To refine Unsaved Israel, bringing them into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ
2) To awaken the 'fense-sitters' and force them to make a decision. Just to clarify, I consider a fense sitter someone who hasn't outright rejected the Lord's salvation, but they haven't accepted it either.
3) And the third purpose is to punish the unbelieving earth for their rejection of God's Salvation.
What do you think?
