The tribulation marks the beginning of judgement on the earth, culminating in the defeat of Satan and the reign of Christ.

• Satan offers a false peace: Beware of anything offering an easy, trial free, life. Struggles and difficulties keep us from complacency in our faith.
• Satan portrays a false perception: Satan appears to be a genuine savior; his true motive is destruction. Be careful who you allow to influence your life.
• Satan comes with a false purpose: Do not give the enemy a foothold into your life. Satan came to conquer, Christ came to make our joy complete.
