This is the final episode in our three-part journey through the tribulation.

In Episode 1, we laid the biblical foundations: Daniel’s seventy weeks, Jesus’ words in Matthew 24, and Revelation’s visions — showing that tribulation is both a present reality for disciples and the climactic trial before Christ’s return.

In Episode 2, we explored the family conversation of the Christian community: Pretrib, Midtrib, Posttrib, Prewrath, Amillennial. Each view carries strengths and tensions, but all agree on the central hope: we will always be with the Lord.

Now, in Episode 3: Culture, Rumors, and Readiness, we confront the fascination — and the danger — of prophecy culture. From The Late Great Planet Earth to Left Behind, Harold Camping’s failed predictions, the 2017 “Revelation 12 sign,” and today’s September 23, 2025 rumors, the cycle of speculation has captivated millions but weakened witness. What does Scripture actually say about date-setting? Why does God delay? And how can we answer the scoffers while living faithfully in the tension?

In this closing episode, we’ll cut through the noise and return to Jesus’ words: “But about that day and hour no one knows… For this reason, you must be ready” (Matthew 24:36, 44, NASB 2020).

The trilogy ends with a unified call: tribulation is real, Christ is coming, and our task is clear — not to mark calendars, but to live ready, bold in witness, and steadfast in worship.
