5. WHAT THE TRIBULATION WILL BE A Trio of Seven Judgments 1. A world ruined by man (seven seals opened), Rev 6-7 2. A world ruled by Satan (seven trumpets blown), Rev 8-13 3. A world rescued by God (seven vials poured), Rev 14-16

6. Point 1. Just like the gospels give four pictures of the first coming (one from each direction), so the end of the Bible does the same for the Second Coming.

7. Point 2. There is a mid-tribulation rapture—but not of us!
