What will the first half of the Tribulation be like?
The first three and a half years will allow the Jews a semblance of religious freedom, but the world will not experience a Sunday school picnic. There will be much war, famine, pestilence, and turmoil, though the worst begins at the midpoint when the Antichrist defiles the Temple.
Les explains that the first three and a half years of the Tribulation are not a Sunday school picnic for the world, because there will be a lot of war, famine, pestilence, and turmoil. During that time, the Jews for the most part enjoy a semblance of religious freedom. At the midpoint, however, the Antichrist comes in and defiles the Temple, turning on the Jews and triggering the last half, which is beyond human description and is called in Psalms 2 the wrath and vexation of God.
