Who does God deal with during the tribulation?
During the tribulation, God deals primarily with the nation of Israel. The church, the body of Christ, is taken out of the way because it does not fit the Jewish program or law, and God resumes His dealings with Israel, including the Antichrist's seven-year treaty with that nation.
Les teaches that the tribulation is primarily God dealing with Israel, not the church. The church would be like a fish out of water in the tribulation period; it is not part of the Jewish program or law and is totally insulated from all the dealings God does with the nation of Israel. Once the church age is completed, the church has to be taken out of the way so that God can pick up where He left off with Israel. According to Daniel chapter 9, the Antichrist then assigns a seven-year treaty with the nation of Israel.
