Matthew
Chapter 24
21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
SJR's Note
Jan 27
Events before the abomination of desolation are called the tribulation: war, famine, death, martyrs. Events after the abomination are called the "great" tribulation, which leads up to the rapture of the church at the second coming and the "Day of the Lord." See Matthew 24:15.
