First is to understand what the tribulation is, it is what Jeremiah calls the time of Jacob's trouble. Tribulation means trouble, it does not mean wrath as in God's wrath.
What does Jeremiah SAY about the time of Jacob's trouble? it is only mentioned by that term once in scripture
Jeremiah ch:30. vs4-11
These are the words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah
"Thus says the Lord
we have heard a cry of panic
of terror and no peace
Ask now and see
can a man bear a child?
why then do I see every man with his hands on his loins
like a woman in labour?
Why has every face turned pale?
Alas that day is so great there is none like it
it is even the time of Jacob's trouble
BUT
he shall be saved out of it.
For it shall come to pass in that day saith the Lord of hosts that I will
break the yoke off thy neck and will burst thy bonds
an strangers shall no more serve themselves off them
But they shall serve the Lord their God and David their King
whom I will raise up unto them.
Therefore FEAR THOU NOT o my servant Jacob saith the Lord
neither be dismayed o Israel for lo I will save thee from afar
and thy seed from the land of their captivity
And Jacob shall return and shall be IN REST and be QUIET
AND NONE SHALL MAKE HIM AFRAID.
For I am with thee to save thee though I make a full end of the nations
whither I have scattered thee
but I will correct thee in measure and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
All this portion of scripture refers not to the Babylonian captivity as is made clear by the word in the preceeding chapter. "in the latter days ye shall see it"
But note this that God said, it is not the man who travails in childbirth [Israel is God's firstborn son] but the woman who goes through labour [the bride, the church]
