SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be associating rod of correction with antichrist ruling in tribulation with a destructive gospel. The elect were forced to endure this rod as they were beaten, corrected, scourged or chastised. However at the revelation of Christ, He began to unseal the Bible to bring them out of tribulation.
