@TLHKAJ I do think a good verse is John 16.33, where the Lord Jesus says to His disciples. "In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world." :)
correct farouk, 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."
in spreading/witnessing to the gospel. which was preached by John the baptist and the Lord Jesus the christ, tribulation have been going on for christian, just look at from the roman colosseum, and the roman catholic church, through, and even unto now.
the Kingdom came in Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. and the final 3 1/2 day is not days to years, but in God's Kingdom, a God day is a thousand years. and the prophet Hosea, God makes its very clear. 6:2 "After
two days will he revive us:
in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." BINGO.
so when did this two days, (two thousand year), revival start? when he Jesus left and return on Pentecost in power, the Holy Ghost. and in the third day? "
in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."
