So I guess that means that you are a post-tribulational dispensationalist who believes in a future tribulation.
Does that mean you did not follow the link to the material that I asked you to read and comment on?
"Jesus did teach of a coming tribulation (Matthew 24, Luke 21). He called this period "the days of vengeance" (Luke 21:22). He said specifically of the timing of this period of terror and slaughter, "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled" (Matthew 24:32-34).
While there has been much debate as to the timing of the fulfillment of this prophecy, the dominant view in church history has been that this prophecy was fulfilled in 70 A.D., when the Roman army surrounded Jerusalem, crucified thousands of Jews who tried to escape, and took the city. Two Roman soldiers then burned the temple, according to the post-war court historian for the victorious emperor Vespasian, the Jew Josephus. A short introduction to this interpretation is David Chilton's 1987 book, The Great
Tribulation."
