Tribulation as a past event (Dr. Gentry) The Great Tribulation occurred during the 1st century. Those events marked the end of God's focus on and exaltation of Israel. Jesus' prophecies marked the beginning of the Christian era in God's plan. The Tribulation is God's judgment on Israel for rejecting the Messiah. The Tribulation judgments will be centred on local events surrounding ancient Jerusalem, and also somewhat affecting other portions of the former Roman Empire. The Tribulation judgments are governed by Jesus as the Christ to reflect his judgment against Israel, thus showing that he is in heaven controlling those events.
