Episode 13: Great Tribulation

Before God’s wrath is poured out on the Dragon’s people, the Dragon’s wrath will be poured out on God’s people.

Synopsis

The concept of the great tribulation has been one of the most generalized elements of Bible prophecy by many teachers. This has led to a lot of different perspectives in opposition to each other regarding a topic that will be covered in the Harpazo: The Blessed Hope study. The catching away of the bride of Christ is commonly tied to this period in defining the timing of Christ’s return and our gathering to Him with the labels pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, post-tribulation. I think this period of time is much more nuanced than most people think.

In this Bible study, we will dig into the two phases of great tribulation and see how scripture explains this period, not in terms of the seven years of the 70th week of Daniel, but in the details of prophecy that define it as the Dragon’s wrath on God’s people explicitly, beginning at the abomination of desolation when the false christ’s kingdom is established in Jerusalem. This explains how the tribulation can be cut short, yet remain the set amount of 3½ years, or 42 months.

In addition, the details provide a cohesive timeline of events that line up with the seals of Revelation, the order of events Paul gave the Thessalonian church, and the rest of prophecy in sync with the plain understanding of Yeshua’s depiction in the Olivet Discourse about the sequence of events in the end. In the agreement of multiple witnesses in scripture, an amazing narrative unfolds that brings so many prophecies together and provides clarity in a logical plain understanding of this often confused topic.
