The first mention of the Tribulation in the Bible is found in Deuteronomy 4:27-30. Before the Children of (Yasharal) Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses warned them that if they were unfaithful to YAHUAH, they would be scattered among the nations. He then prophesied that in the latter days they would come under distress, and the result would be their return to YAHUAH. Centuries later, Jeremiah used the same terminology when he referred to the Tribulation. He called it the time of Jacobs distress (Jeremiah 30:7). In like manner, Daniel called it the time of distress, and he prophesied it would be the worst period of trouble in the history of the (Yahudiem) Jewish people (Daniel 12:1). Malachi stated it would be a time of refining for the (Yahudiem) Jews, as when silver is purified by fire (Malachi 3:1-4). And Zechariah used the same imagery when he prophesied that two-thirds of the Jewish people will perish during this time. Of the remnant remaining, he wrote, I [YAHUAH] will bring the third part through the fire [and] refine them as silver is refined... (Zechariah 13:8-9).
