Jesus said it will come during the 'last days'

The tribulation will come in upon all people of the earth.
Mattew 24:21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.

It will occur during Christs invisible presence...
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

and no one knows the day or hour this will occur... you can only watch for the signs

36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were,so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be

Addressing the OP, Tribulation or trouble, have been here since Adam and Eve disobyed God, and Great tribulation is not a one time event but over a long period of time. just as was in a topice about God's Love when Paul asked God to remove his thorn in the flesh, which was troubling him, and God refused, because his, (God), Grace was sufficient to perfect him.

and yes, we're in the Last days, Hebrews 1:1 "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,"
Hebrews 1:2 "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"

so we been in the Last days, .... after the cross, (because we are in the GRACE period), and we have been in tribulation/trouble, there is no end of tribulation until the Lord returns. scripture, Revelation 1:9 "I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."

tribulation don't only means one is in Jail, or prison, no. one can have tribulation in your home, or your local congregational church house of worship, or at work, or even in health, wealth, or spirit. today's one of the main or great tribulation area is in the home. be it, social, or financial, even political. yes, GREAT TRIBULATION, can be within our ownselves. but there is a solution. John 8:36 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." for, John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." BINGO.

oh yes, we will have trouble, (per the book of James), but we will overcome in him, (Jesus the Christ).

As 101G pointed out, we all experience tribulation. Christians who are faithful to Christ will experience even more than the world will.

But there is a future time called the Great Tribulation in which God will begin to pour out his judgment on the world. I recommend this site if you want to know more about this time:
