The Purpose of The Great Tribulation

God does nothing without a purpose. If He has determined His elect will be on the earth throughout the great tribulation, then He has a glorious result in mind. The Church will be purged of its spots and blemishes and brought to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

There indeed shall be great tribulation—fiery trials in the last days that will bring forth a glorious church on the earth. The branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious for those of Israel who have escaped the seductions, lies, and terrors of Antichrist. The perfect Head will be placed on a perfect body.

A parallel statement is as follows:
What an area of confusion this is today!
Again, notice that a remnant is brought forth:
And in the New Testament:
As for who the elect are:
We can see that this indeed will take place:
The Lord will wash away the filth of His elect.
Antichrist will be given the power to overcome the saints.
