Revelation, Episode 8: The Olivet Discourse & The Great Tribulation

This is a combination of 2 lectures into one. First, we dig into the Olivet Discourse found in Matthew 24-25 (see also Mark 13 & Luke 21). In this, one of the final longform teachings of Jesus Christ prior to His death, burial, & resurrection, Jesus accurately predicts the destruction of the Temple, which would happen in the year 70AD. He goes on to talk about false teachers, war, rumors of war, natural disasters, etc. that are inevitably part of the human experience in history, and now, and also in the End Times. He also talks about events that sure seem to point to the End Times as well. In the second half of the lecture, we switch gears and talk about the Great Tribulation (or the Tribulation) in general terms, as well as diving into Daniel 9 to discern why many eschatology teachers have concluded that the Tribulation shall be a seven year period just prior to Christ's Second Coming.
