Would the purpose for the tribulation change depending on one's view of prophecy?
Wouldn't these 7, below, follow the logic of their doctrines, rather than what they may actually claim on their websites?

|---|---|---|
| post-millennial | the tribulation is allegorical, of practical value? | |
| amillennial | (with replacement theology) the tribulation is to purify the Christians? | |
| pre-millennial: | ||
| post-trib | the tribulation is to ready both Israel and the Christians for the kingdom? | |
| pre-wrath | the tribulation is to ready the Christians for the blessed hope, and then afterwards to judge the world? | |
| mid-trib | the tribulation is to ready the Christians for the blessed hope, and then afterwards to ready Israel for the kingdom? | |
| pre-trib | the tribulation is to prepare Israel for their true Messiah, Jesus? |
