How much you'll get in veterans back pay depends on your effective date for disability compensation benefits. The effective date for disability compensation benefits is usually the date the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) received your application.
Definition. 1  The word âtribulationâ comes from the Greek word thlipsis (Î¸Î»Î¹ÏÎ¹Ï) meaning âaffliction, distress.â It is used in general of any kind of testing, affliction or distress which people experience throughout life, and especially of the church and her problems in this world (Acts 7:10-11; 11:19; Rom. 5:3; Rev. 1:9; 2:9, 10, 22).
The length of the Tribulation is seven years. This is determined by an understanding of the seventy weeks of Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27; also see the article on the Tribulation). The Great Tribulation is the last half of the Tribulation period, three and one-half years in length. It is distinguished from the Tribulation period because the Beast, or Antichrist, will be revealed, and the wrath of God will greatly intensify during this time. Thus, it is important at this point to emphasize that the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation are not synonymous terms.
