What is the final seven years of tribulation associated with?
The final seven years of tribulation are associated only with the prophecies concerning Israel. This period follows the Rapture, when the alive and remaining are caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and it ends with the Second Coming of Christ, when His feet stand on the Mount of Olives.
Les explains that after the living and remaining believers are caught up to meet the Lord in the air, the final seven years are ushered in. This final seven years is associated only with the prophecies concerning Israel, and he calls it the final seven years or the tribulations. Its ending brings about the Second Coming of Christ, when Christ will stand with His feet on the Mount of Olives. Les also contrasts this with the Rapture, noting that the Rapture was a secret revealed by and to the Apostle Paul, while Old Testament and Gospel references to Christ’s coming point to the Second Coming, using Matthew 24 as the prime example.
