Left Behind: Tribulation Weakness, Grace Sufficient - Dispensational (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

Source: ChurchWiseAI73 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

In Left Behind, Tribulation believers face ultimate weakness—persecution, martyrdom, apparent defeat—yet grace proves sufficient. Dispensational theology sees 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 as Tribulation promise: when persecution peaks, grace peaks; when weakness is greatest, power is most perfect. "My grace is sufficient"—sufficient for antichrist's persecution, for martyrdom, for the darkest hour. The Tribulation church will be weak yet powerful. Prepare by practicing this now; grace will prove sufficient then. Tribulation weakness will display ultimate power.
