SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be equating tribulation to temptation or trial. It is a form of judgment since it is God allowing the body to be subject to locusts and thieves in tribulation. However, it seems to be a judgment (temptation) that the church brings on itself as it goes after other gospels. At the revelation of Christ, God speaks of a different judgment: one where there is no longer space for repetance and the Door is permently shut. There, the wicked are said to have been judged and cast eternally into the lake of fire. Tribulation, temptation comes on the whole body, whereas Eternal Damnation comes on just the unsaved.
