Have you ever considered what is more significant to God when Jesus used the term GREAT? I mean, God's bride, Jerusalem, forsook Him and claimed a pagan Caesar who claimed godhood to be her king instead, and then murdered her true Groom, Jesus. I would think a man would be more concerned over his bride's experiences and infidelity and murderous acts than someone else, no matter how outwardly worse the acts of others might have been.

From what you have written, I understand your definition of great tribulation to be the infidelity of God's people in the days of Caesar. The Old Testament shows a continual cycle of whoredom regarding the people of God. God's judgement was poured out many times on the Jews for their infidelity. It does not appear that God was surprised by the rejection. Your reference to the great tribulation also does not take into account the gentile church which is as much the bride of Christ as the Jews.
Also, how do you determine that the infidelity was for a time, times, and the dividing of time (3.5 years)?
