The purpose of the tribulation is to restore the nation of Israel, with their King, the Lord Jesus Christ. We are currently in the dispensation of Grace, with salvation by faith in Christ alone, open to both Jew and gentile. When this dispensation closes, there will be a "catching up," or "rapture" of the body of Christ and the antiChrist will be loosed to begin the 70th week of Daniel. The 7 year period ends with Israel possessing the kingdom of Heaven, on earth.
