The great tribulation from Matthew 24 was the end of a race, the burial of God's covenant people. It's not a nice subject, but great tribulation never is. What do I do? I certainly don't look to national Israel as the fulfillment of God's plan and purpose. I don't waste my time looking at the middle east to see what God is doing. Jesus said "It is finished". All the prophecy of the Old Testament pointed to and found it's fulfillment in the finished work of Jesus Christ. If you want to look for God's purposes, look to his remnant, the true Israel of God, the Church.
