The bible does speak about both personal tribulations that people face, and the tribulation period.
And what I said about the army the antichrist will command, and the 1,000 year reign of Christ is in the bible.
Plus those who study the prophecies in the bible see this. The 1,000 year reign of Christ is in Revelation, as so is the 200 million man army. The antichrist coming to power is in Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, and Isaiah.
Revelation also talks of the pestilence, hunger, and death that will inflict our world in the last days, Jesus mentions these and signs that lead up to them in Matthew 24.
Matthew 24:10-13
And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Matthew 10:22
And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Mark 13:9-13
“But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Lord Jesus makes it clear that we must endure the things we face in life, and keep true in our belief in Him to be saved.

But the "last days" according to scriptures has been going on for 2000 years now. It isn't some "future last days" that we are left to the tales of the "futuristic" prophets.
The Bible doesn't SAY it is futuristic.
Every aspect of what has been spoke has been continually fulfilled in the Body of Christ since the Time of Christ. It has ALL been last days. There is no such thing as ANOTHER LAST DAYS where all this bizarre superstitious religiousness of another physical appearance of Jesus sitting in the middle east or some such related nonsense of the futuristic prophecies... As I said, the Bible contains the verses. But only YOU gut the past and present application of it and put it into the future in front of everybody, THEN say it is in the Bible without proof, giving scriptures that have nothing to DO with the idea of 2000 years in the future!
That's all I'm saying. It is well thought out, well spoken, with hope that you would really think about it. I'm either seriously mental, or maybe you owe it to yourself to really prove out these prophesies of futurism in place of preaching the Gospel of Salvation. Because believe me you, God is quite aware of the difference.
