Randy Noblog recently asked about amillennialism and the tribulation. Here's what I found.
Regarding the period of tribulation, Amillennialism does not see this as a future period. Amillennialism is not entirely united regarding the proper interpretation of the tribulation (just as Dispensational Premillennialism is not united on the timing of the Rapture relative to the Tribulation). Two interpretations worth considering are:
1) the Tribulation was something that took place during the time this letter was written (compare Rev. 1:9; 2:9,10,22)
2) the Tribulation is characteristic of all life in the millennium.
In both cases, Amillennialism agrees with the Post-Tribulational-Rapture Dispensational view that Christians must endure the Tribulation.
