I see this the same way.
I merely wanted to point out that there is not a time period in the Bible that is called "the tribulation", as if there was only one. But there IS the time that Jesus characterized that there would be great tribulation, greater than any other.
The criticism was that there isn't a seven year time called the tribulation, I point out there isn't any period called that, only characterized as that, and we should pay attention to details.
Much love!
I understand. However, God's Word actually does define that "great tribulation" as being a specific period different from all other times of tribulation...
Matt 24:21
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.
KJV
Dan 12:1
12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
KJV
So we can... say 'the' tribulation as a specific point in time all we want when referring to that period Jesus showed as a major Sign of the very end of this world. God allows the devil and his children to deceive us if that's what we want, and they have tried to muddy the waters about that specific "great tribulation" event for the very end of this world, just as they have also done with falsely preaching there is no singular Antichrist coming to play Christ in our near future.
