You're kind of losing me with this whole repopulate part.
And as for the tribulation period, I think it's been ongoing for centuries. So there are no saints that suffer through it and make it out alive at the end. I think the tribulation is the slow decay and apostacy of the churches and world religions. There are passages and scriptures that give me this impression. But, I really don't think these end times and millennialism stuff is in my head. I don't get it. I don't understand it.
If you continue to study, the Lord will reveal it to you. If you have any questions at all I am always happy to respond with scripture.
