The Olivet Discourse (Mat 24, Mar 13, Luk 21) discusses the events of the Great Tribulation. The ‘Beginning of Sorrows’ (labor pain) is one of the symbols that describe the Great Tribulation. These labor pains include wars, famines, pestilence and earthquakes. However, these are symbolic references to events that occur in the Great Tribulation. 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.
