Eschatology Series 12: Matthew 24:21-29 The Great Tribulation

The great tribulation is something that has been at the center of the eschatological debate for years.  Dispensationalists demand it is future and is the 70th week of Daniels vision where the church age is a parenthesis between the 69th and 70th week.  In other words, God pressed paused and went with plan b, the church, and at some point (the fullness of the Gentiles) will unpause and the end will come.  All that being said, allowing scripture to interpret scripture (and looking at historical writings outside of it), when we read the words of Jesus answering the questions of the disciples in the first century, the evidence is clear, the time of great tribulation would occur in their lifetime and an event this bad is to never happen again.  In other words, there is no indication in scripture that the great tribulation is future for us (2,000 years removed from the time Jesus spoke of it) it has happened, John was part of it (Rev 1) and we can see that Matthew 24 in its entirety was concerning the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD.
