Why tribulation?

[Raybob]

..Why is it that up until the very recent times the US and Britain with 6% of the worlds population, controlled 95% of it's wealth? ...

They don't control the wealth, that's been done since 1694 by private bankers, Bank of England, and Federal Reserve Bank.

Those with the 'birthright' are the people of faith in the Lord Jesus.

Back to the topic of "the tribulation", the whole idea of a 7 year period of time, of tribulation, preceding the second advent is a myth. It's part of the strong delusion God sends, that they should believe a lie. Jesus spoke of much tribulation, worse than the world had seen up till then. It's so 'great' of tribulation, it's still going on since our first martyr Steven, of Acts 7. Lasting for 2000+ years, I'd sure call that "great tribulation"! There's absolutely no biblical reason to even think that "great tribulation" is only limited to a small period of time, like 7 or 3.5 years. That's total fiction, most definitely not found in the bible but 'interpreted' from many verses taken out of their contexts, and the notion of any OT prophecies not being fulfilled in Christ, except for the final judgment day prophecies.

The wrath that the church is not appointed to is the time of the vials of God's wrath. These will go two rounds, and only after the trib is over.

The little horn king (from Iraq) will have 42 months to make to make war with the saints.

First of all, I was pre trib, then post trib, now Idk. I don't understand a few things.

-If it's pre trib- are the trib saints the jews? Why would there be 3 kinds of people? There isn't saved, kinda saved, and unsaved. There's just saved and unsaved.

The "rapture" occurs at the parousia of the Lord (1Thess4:15-17); the parousia of the Lord is "bright" and causes the destruction of "that Wicked" (2Thes2:8); thus the "rapture" occurs at the second advent- specifically the 10th day of the 7th month.

-If it's post trib- why don't the dead have to go through the trib? They get a pass because they're dead? I know Christians in the past have gone through trials and tribulation but not every one has. Some Christians don't go through any physical tribulation, just verbal, then die.

Why would we have to go through tribulation to be purified? We already are by Jesus's blood. We are saved by faith, not works. God sees our works as filthy rags. I know people in the old testament have been through tribulation and God took care of them, but that was before Jesus's resurrection.

The churches must be judged and purified in order for the bride to be made ready. The main thing that will be accomplished by the coming of the King of Confusion is the drawing out of the church those people who

Isa 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Mt 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mr 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

The people that are teaching you that the Great Tribulation is earthly horror are misleading you; it is spiritually accomplished. There will be no comets striking the earth or such carnal devastation; it will be purely spiritual desolation. The King of Confusion will come to draw all that is false out of the churches and to him; thus purifying the bride, leaving only the remnant. You ask, "Why do those who came before get a pass" because you have not yet understood the prophecies; if you did, your question would rather be, "Why are those alive now given this honor?"
