Where will the tribulation events be centered?
The tribulation events will be primarily centered in the Middle East. This period is God dealing with the nation of Israel, and the judgments are directed primarily to the children of Israel, with tremendous fear and suffering. Scripture describes it as a time of trembling and fear, not peace.
Les teaches that the tribulation is primarily God dealing with the nation of Israel. He explains that you cannot run the church into God's dealing with His covenant people because the church is not under any of these covenants; they are Jew only. Those covenants will finally come into fruition when we get into the tribulation, the time of God dealing with Israel. Jeremiah 30:5 describes a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace, with men in travail. Les says the horrible events coming on the earth will be primarily centered in the Middle East, and the potential for mass destruction hangs over the Middle East. He notes tremendous fear and suffering like we cannot imagine, and it will be directed primarily to the children of Israel.
For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
