Les explains that the tribulation is primarily God dealing with the nation of Israel. The covenants are Jew only, and the church cannot be run into God's dealing with His covenant people because the church is not under those covenants.

The horrible events coming on the earth will center in the Middle East, and there will be tremendous fear and tremendous suffering like we cannot imagine, directed primarily to the children of Israel.
