::[EC] Archaic? In what sense, out of curiosity? The Great Tribulation can refer to the final stages of the end times preceding Jesus's second return. Furthermore, if there's a traditional meaning to the term that might not be well-corresponded in contemporary vernacular, then I think it's especially important to preserve the original intended meaning as accurately as possible. After all, the Conservative Bible Project ought to ''conserve'' Scriptural wisdom to the best it can. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Exodus 23:2)</sup>]]''''' Sunday, 17:33, December 25, 2022 (EST)
