Who is the tribulation primarily intended for according to the Bible?
According to Scripture, the tribulation is primarily God's dealing with the nation of Israel, the children of Israel. It centers on His covenant people and is not the church's experience, because the church is not under Israel's covenants. Those covenants will come into fruition during that time.
Les explains from Jeremiah 30 and 31 that the tribulation is primarily God dealing with the nation of Israel. He stresses that Jeremiah 31 promises God will never cast off the seed of Israel, and that the church cannot be mixed into Israel's tribulation because the church is not under Israel's covenants. Those covenants are Jew only, made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they will come into fruition during the tribulation. Les also notes the tribulation will be centered in the Middle East and directed primarily to the children of Israel, bringing fear and suffering.
