Thanks for your comment.

I encourage you to either persevere with the vid series to answer your question or jump ahead to chapter 4. In that chapter I go through the whole Olivet Discourse (Matt 24, Luke 21, Mark 13) which is Jesus prophesying the great tribulation. You may be quietly surprised at what He was, and was not talking about. Here are the links to chapter 4-

Also, it is noteworthy that the term great tribulation is only three times in the Bible, in the Olivet discours and in Revelation (chapter 6 of this series is a study through Rev).

Let me know how you go with it and feel free to post more comments.

Grace and peace,
