"The Purpose of the Great Tribulation

The purpose of this ordeal, the Time of Jacobs Trouble, is to drive Israel en extremis, to return to God:

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly
(Hosea 5:15).

Interesting Old Testament passage: God says, I will go and return to my place. To return, He must have left it! Watch those untils in the text: they often denote significant milestones. The term offence is singular and specific.

Apparently, a prerequisite condition for the Second Coming of Christ is for Israel to acknowledge her Messiah and to petition His return.

When the faithful remnant petitions Jesus to return, He comes to rescue them."

Jesus comes back to the Je-ws!
