Tribulation

Tribulation refers to a period of significant suffering, hardship, or distress, often associated with profound global or personal challenges. In religious contexts, particularly Christianity, it describes a future time of intense trials and chaos before a significant divine event, such as the Second Coming of Christ. Generally, it symbolizes times of upheaval that test individuals or societies, requiring resilience and faith to overcome. The concept emphasizes that difficult periods are either a test of strength or a prelude to renewal, encouraging perseverance through adversity with hope for eventual restoration or peace.
