Posttribulationists also point out that, historically, God’s people have experienced times of intense persecution and trial. Therefore, they say, it should not be surprising that the church also experiences the Great Tribulation of the end times.
Ikinakatwiran din ng mga Posttribulationists na sa kasaysayan, nakaranas ng matinding paghihirap at pagsubok ang bayan ng Diyos. Kaya, hindi kataka-taka na makaranas din ang Iglesya ng Dakilang Kapighatian sa mga huling araw.
