The events of the Great Tribulation are discussed in the Olivet Discourse (Mat 24, Mar 13, Luk 21). This important passage teaches that the ‘Babylonian Captivity’ of Judah is an important type of the Great Tribulation. Therefore, Christians must read Old Testament prophecy as types of what will occur in the Great Tribulation. This includes prophetical books such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel (as well as the minor prophets). In fact, Jeremiah was the prophet in Jerusalem during the Babylonian Captivity. Ezekiel was also a prophet during the Babylonian Captivity. The prophets of the Old Testament are very relevant to Christians today. 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.
