Great Tribulation on the Nominal Christian Church (Olivet Discourse)
The events of the Great Tribulation are discussed in the Olivet Discourse (Mat 24, Mar 13, Luk 21). These events are often assumed to be worldly events that impact the whole earth. But, the events of the Great Tribulation are spiritual events that occur within nominal Christianity. 'Nominal' means in name. That is the church consists of both saved and unsaved people. The Bible teaches that many, many in the 'church' are not saved (e.g., Mat 7:21-23). In the Great Tribulation, the church is mostly worldly and true Christians suffer great tribulation in this church. 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.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. (Mat 24:9)
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Mat 24:21)
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: (Mat 24:29)
