Episode 434 – Surviving the Tribulation

2 THESSALONIANS The last seven years of human history that will be marked by intense persecution, afflictions, and martyrdom of Christians. Although many Christians believe they will escape the Tribulation, the biblical evidence, particularly from the epistles to the Thessalonians, indicates that believers will be kept in the Tribulation rather than taken out of it. Steve also shares his personal motivations for focusing on biblical prophecy, concerned that many may not make it through the difficult times to come. He references historical and theological perspectives on the severity of the Tribulation period. Referenced in today’s episode: 2 Thessalonians 1:4, and 3:1-3 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7, and 3:-3-4 Matthew 24:9-13 John 17:15 Augustine, Sermon 94 2 Timothy 3:12 Hippolytus, On Christ and Antichrist   CCC 675 We appreciate your interest in learning about biblical prophecy!
