A real historical event fulfilled in 70 A.D.—not a future apocalyptic crisis.
What is
Tribulation
The Tribulation refers to a period of great distress described in biblical prophecy. TGNN teaches it was fulfilled in the events leading up to Jerusalem’s destruction in 70 A.D.
ExplanationIn many modern interpretations, the Tribulation is seen as a future, global period of chaos and suffering before Christ’s return. TGNN rejects this view and teaches that the tribulation was a real, historical event that took place in the first century.Jesus described a “great tribulation” in Matthew 24—a time of judgment, upheaval, and suffering that would come upon that generation (Matthew 24:34). TGNN sees this as a reference to the Roman siege and destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., which brought an end to the old covenant system.Rather than anticipating a future apocalypse, TGNN teaches that the Tribulation marked the closing of the material religious age, clearing the way for the spiritual liberty we live in today.
