What Old Testament book mentions the tribulation?
A:No book either in the Old Testament or the New Testament writes of the Tribulation, in the sense defined by John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren, in the nineteenth-century. Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that the 'Tribulation' has its origins in 1830, when fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service, where she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren.The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice. The first return would be in secret, to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, before the Tribulation. Christ would return a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. Instead of predicting a specific date for Christ's return, he invented "dispensations" - that is, intervals of time ordering God's grand timetable for world events. From this expression came "dispensationalism," a particular system or school of thinking about the end-times reflecting Darby's premise.Proponents admit that the dispensationalist system is not spelled out in any single passage in the Bible. Nevertheless they insist that a comprehensive system is necessary and that Darby's dispensationalism, with its divisions of history and its two-stage future return of Christ, is "the only system" that can make sense of otherwise contradictory biblical passages. They have combed the Bible, looking for clues that could plausibly be argued to support dispensationalism and the tribulation.Daniel 9:25-27 gives a chronology of seventy 'weeks' of Israel's history - with a day representing a year in this apocalyptic book. According to Darby and the dispensationalists, the first 483 years of the Daniel prophecy were fulfilled in ancient Israel's history only up to week number sixty-nine. They say Daniel's final seventieth week, with the desecration of the Jewish temple, will ocur during the tribulation - never mind that the Temple was desecrated shortly before Daniel was actually written, or by the Romans in 70 CE. So, the Book of Daniel is the peg on which proponents of Darby's tribulation scheme hang their belief in the tribulation. But read carefully and in context, Danieldoes not mention the tribulation.AnswerThe Tribulation is mentioned in the Old Testament many times, often by synonym, but they all refer to the same event. (For example, "Day of the Lord" is mentioned over 100 times in the King James version)The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians, and the Second Temple by the Romans in 70AD. The Temple Daniel's 70th Week is not those, but refers to the desecration of the yet-to-be-rebuilt Third Temple .Malachi 45 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:Deuteronomy 430 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;Daniel 121 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.Zephaniah 115 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,Jeremiah 307 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.Isaiah 218 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.Isaiah 354 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.Isaiah 612 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;Isaiah 634 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.Zephaniah 118 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
