I quote again: “Other Designations. Jesus used the term ‘that day,’ also the term ‘tribulation.’ Daniel calls it ‘a time of trouble’ such as is unequaled and never repeated. In Jer. 30:7 it is ‘the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.’ Here is a parallel to the escape of the three Hebrews from the fiery furnace. Those who are ‘saved out of it’ are distinct from those who are kept from it. John has a vision of a number who ‘come out of the great tribulation,’ but the Philadelphians are kept from it!”
He affirms that the various terms he names applies to one certain period that is yet to be; but he gives not one word of proof. The terms, “that day,” “in that day,” “day of trouble,” “tribulation,” “tribulations,” “that hour,” are used many times in the Bible, and certainly do not all refer to the same period of time. Why then pick out a term here and there and arbitrarily apply them to one certain time? THE REASON: a certain theory demands it. And if the writer will examine the Greek in Jer. 30:7 and Rev. 3:10, he will find apo, from, in Jeremiah, and ek, out of, in Revelation, which completely reverses the point he seeks to make on the use of prepositions.
Again I quote: “Chronology.... The order of some outstanding things foretold is revealed. To get this order saves confusion. From Jesus’ prophecy on the mount (Matt. 24 and 25; Mark 13; Luke 21) avoiding all forced interpretations, we learn ‘the tribulation of those days’ leads up to the darkening of the sun and moon, the falling of the stars of the heaven, the powers of the heaven being shaken, and the glorious appearing of the Son of man. Note the expression ‘immediately after’ in Matt. 24:29. Note also Mark 13:24-27 ... even up to the tribulation there are foretold ‘wars and rumors of wars,’ and ‘nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.’ Again, attention is called to the fact that those days of unprecedented tribulation ‘shall be shortened.’ Obviously they are terminated by the Son of man in connection with his appearing. The times foretold in this connection constitute ‘the days of the Son of man.’ (see Luke 17:26.) The ‘rapture’ precedes ‘the tribulation of those days,’ ‘the days of the Son of man.’ And the rapture awaits nothing that is foretold.”
