Matthew 5:12
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your
reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets
which were before you.
But we shouldn't desire to be in the tribulation:
Luke 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall
come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Amos 5:18
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what
end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness,
and not light.
