I have been keeping up with the thread The Rapture Theory and all sides give well thought out arguments and i credit everyone of them for having such a passion about the word of god and being well versed in them as well.
My question here is just to get peoples thoughts on what would be the defining moment that we would know that we were in the tribulation.
I know pre-trib believers believe that the rapture will signify the beginning of the tribulation but looking through the beginning of revelations it begins with jesus speaking to the 7 angels of the churches and after that the lamb being the one to open the first 7 seals, which I take as the tribulation being in full swing.
So i have heard different events that could possibly signify we are in the tribulation when it comes.
rebuilding of jewish temple?
two wittnesses?
treaty with israel? (could fall in with rebuilding of temple)
great earthquake?
There are more of course and these are just off of the top of my head. I know that a question like this is obviously without a clear answer but just wanted to see what others think really. I know that revelations is not the only book in the bible to speak of the tribulation and please feel free to post any scriptures that you like as they are all welcome.
