The Olivet Discourse (Mat 24, Mar 13, Luk 21) discusses the events of the Great Tribulation. Jesus Christ spoke this discourse on the Mount of Olives. He warned the disciples that Jerusalem would become desolate. Notably, Jesus Christ compares this desolation to the Abomination of Desolation spoken by the prophet Daniel. This abomination of desolation stands in the holy place. Jerusalem is a symbol for the holy place where God and His people dwell (i.e., the Christian church). But, during the Great Tribulation, the false churches and parachurches persecute God’s people who are captured in these false churches. The Great Tribulation is the ‘little season’ of deception that occurs just before the Last Day (second coming of Jesus Christ). The Great Tribulation occurs when Satan is loosed from his prison and goes forth to deceive the church. He powers the Antichrist, who will lead in both politics and the church. The Olivet Discourse focuses on the End Times and outlines the spiritual events of the Great Tribulation and the Last Day. Click on the link below to view a You Tube video on this topic.
