The Purpose of the tribulation.
Why this Terrible Period? Here are some answers.
- To harvest the Crop sown throughout the ages by God, Satan, and humanity.
The Parable of the Sower.
Mat 13:3 He then spoke many things to them in figurative language. "The sower goes out," He said, "to sow.
Mat 13:4 As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
Mat 13:5 Some falls on rocky ground, where it has but scanty soil. It quickly shows itself above ground, because it has no depth of earth;
Mat 13:6 but when the sun is risen, it is scorched by the heat, and through having no root it withers up.
Mat 13:7 Some falls among the thorns; but the thorns spring up and stifle it.
Mat 13:8 But a portion falls upon good ground, and gives a return, some a hundred for one, some sixty, some thirty.
Matt 13 :18-30 Explains this Parable
The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares. [darnel]
Mat 13:37 "The sower of the good seed," He replied, "is the Son of Man;
Mat 13:38 the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.
Mat 13:39 The enemy who sows the darnel is *the Devil*; the harvest is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels.
Mat 13:40 As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age.
Mat 13:41 The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;
Mat 13:42 and these they will throw into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!

Rev 7:9 After this I looked, and a vast host appeared which it was impossible for anyone to count, gathered out of every nation and from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in long white robes, and carrying palm-branches in their hands.
Rev 7:10 In loud voices they were exclaiming, "It is to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, that we owe our salvation!"
Rev 7:14 "My lord, you know," I replied. "They are those," he said, "who have just passed through the great distress, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

2Th 2:12 so that all those who do not believe the truth, but delight in unrighteousness, might be condemned.

Mal 3:2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who shall stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap.
Mal 3:3 And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. And He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may be offerers of a food offering in righteousness to Jehovah.
