The Olivet Discourse (Part 1)
When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
In this session, Steve Gregg discusses the Olivet Discourse and questions whether or not the Bible teaches a future seven-year tribulation. He explains that the discourse contains seven to eight parables given by Jesus and that it is organized by Matthew into five lengthy discourses. Gregg further examines the historical background of the period and argues that the great tribulation discussed by Jesus is not future but has already occurred, citing the destruction of the temple in 70 AD and the wars throughout the empire as evidence.
