ACF,
Yes. "tribulation" has been discussed, but I don't know that a definition was needed. "Prophecy - The End Times" seemed to be clear. This is a well established topic with 353+ posts on end times prophecy.
So..."tribulation", in this context, is "the great tribulation". The prophets, Jesus himself in Matthew 24, and John in the book of Revelation discuss "the great tribulation".
Based on current events and Biblical prophecy, covered in the movie
The Coming Convergence, do you believe we are, or could be, in the beginning stages of the great tribulation? After watching the movie, if you haven't already, do you still "lean toward" the concept of pre-tribulation rapture of the believers?
Another question, if the "great tribulation" is NOT underway (to some extent) when it does begin, what would it look like? What signs are you looking for? What signs would change your mind? The referenced movie makes a pretty clear case that (at least) the beginning of the end is underway.
If so, another question...if the great tribulation has begun, what does that do to the doctrine of "Pre-Tribulation Rapture"?
