Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein WE stand, and REJOICE IN HOPE of the glory of God. AND not only so , but WE GLORY IN TRIBULATIONS ALSO: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5:1-5. Say. what? We Glory in Tribulations? Glory, Strong's definition, "From some (obsolete) base akin to that of αὐχέω aucheō (to boast) and G2172; to vaunt (in a good or a bad sense): - (make) boast glory joy rejoice". I'm sorry, but I don't see, "WE GLORY IN TRIBULATIONS ALSO" as some death and destruction event waiting for the bad guys to come and kill us all. I submit to you that the Great Tribulation will be the final event to finish polishing and buffing the Body of Christ, also known as The Bride of Christ, TO PERFECTION, with no more spot, wrinkle, or blemish. The Bride is Pure, Righteous, and Holy before the Lord, ready and available for Christ, and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Right now the Body of Christ is doing very nicely, thank you very much, and tribulation, The Great Tribulation, will be that final event the Lord will use to bring forth His Perfect Bride. It won't be too make the Bride Perfect, it will be the event that cleans away, cleans off, the "dirt, oil, and grease" of worldliness FROM OFF THE FINISHED SURFACE, exposing the Perfect Bride. Like taking dirt and grime from off your wife's diamond ring. The ring was already Finished to Perfection, only surface dirt was being removed to reveal its already perfected Shine and Sparkle. The Bride HAS ALWAYS been Perfect THROUGH CHRIST, for the last 2000 years. The Great Tribulation just exposes that Finished Work IN FULL to a dead and dying world. The Bride has been, is being, and will, Forever, Be Blessed.
