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 be trodden down by the Gentiles. This condition would exist until the ‘times of the Gentiles be fulfilled’. But, what does this mean? Jerusalem represents the nominal Christian church. The end-time false church will be controlled by unsaved leaders. This continues until the Last Day. During the Great Tribulation, the false churches and parachurches persecute God’s people. 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 is focused 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 YouTube video on this topic.
