Origin:
The word "tribulation" originally referred to the threshing sledge used to separate grain from chaff. Just as the sledge crushed and separated the grain, so tribulation was seen as a process that tested and refined individuals or groups, separating the good from the bad.
In the Bible, the term "tribulation" is used to describe various periods of suffering or persecution faced by God's people. Notable examples include:
Over time, the meaning of "tribulation" expanded to include any severe trial or hardship that tests the faith or resilience of an individual or group. It became particularly associated with Christian eschatological beliefs, referring to a period of intense suffering that will precede the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
