God Defines Tribulation

English “in tribulation” emboldened in Romans 12:12 “Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;” was translated from Greek feminine noun 2347 thlipsis which is from Greek verb 2346 thlibo objectively meaning to be crowded and pressured off of one’s pathway. It is helpful to think of Greek feminine noun 2347 thlipsis as a gauntlet you must run with social networks on each side trying to crowd, push, pull and force you off the pathway to your objective. For “seven thousand” “election” the objective is God’s will and the pathway leads to God’s kingdom. Greek feminine noun 2347 thlipsis was translated into “tribulation” in “Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God” and “affliction” in “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory”. Greek verb 2346 thlibo was translated into “narrow” in Matthew 7:14 “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are specifically the “few there be that find it”. The aforementioned gauntlet is explained in the 12^th chapter of Hebrews if you understand that “so great a cloud of witnesses” are the plethora of flesh social networks unwittingly forming the gauntlet trying to crowd and pressure others off the pathway to God’s kingdom. Many of “so great a cloud of witnesses” are among the world’s 4,351 religions. Our U.S. federal government expended tax payer dollars creating an alphabetical list of the world’s 4,351 religions which is archived by the library of congress. If you go to the library of congress web site:  https://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20020902082059/http://www.adherents.com/ you will find their alphabetical list of the world’s 4,351 religions with statistical information. Aforementioned archived list of religions was last updated 04/01/2020 and does not include American socialism, marxism and wokeism which certainly perform the action of Greek verb 2346 thlibo objectively meaning to be crowded and pressured off of one’s pathway previously defined in this post.
