BIBLE PASSAGE: Mark 13:19-26

INTRODUCTION:

These include tribulation because of obedience to God’s word (Matthew 13:21); the tribulation on the way to God’s kingdom (Acts 14:22); earthly tribulation that is common to all (Job 5:6-7); tribulation on evil doers (Romans 2:9) and the great tribulation.
The focus of the lesson is the Great Tribulation. The hardship, distress, and perplexity that would be experienced in the days of the great tribulation are unprecedented. What is the great tribulation all about? When will it be?
What are the events in the days of tribulation?

1. UNDERSTANDING THE GREAT TRIBULATION
The Great Tribulation is also called the time of Jacob’s (the nation-Israel) trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).
The unbelieving Jews, the unsaved or backslidden Gentiles will be the candidates of the great tribulation.
It will begin after the rapture of the Church and the revelation of the antichrist, the man of sin (2 Thessalonians 2:3-7).
The time of the great tribulation is the “seventieth week” that is, the last week of the seventy weeks of Daniel
The seventy weeks have three sections: the first seven weeks, the next sixty-two weeks. and the last week
There are seven days in one week. A day in the week represents one year. so the duration is seven years (Daniel 9:20-27).
The first half of the last week (the first three and a half vears will be for the full physical manifestation of the antichrist, during which he shall make a covenant with Israel (Daniel 9:27).
The second half of the last week (the last three and half years) will be a time of unprecedented trouble. “During the week” the antichrist shall break the covenant with Israel and practice the “abomination of desolation” in the temple (Daniel 11:36; Matthew 24:15, 16).
The last three and half years of the great tribulation will culminate in the second coming of Christ to reign on earth (Mark.13:24-26;2 Thessalonians 2:8).
