Just about every generation thought they were going through Tribulation. Imagine what the people thought during WW2 or prior to that the Great Depression.
My thoughts exactly.
Those people should have read their Bibles a little more carefully. Israel had to become a nation first (May 1948), also, antichrist will have to be revealed (those who have wisdom let them count the number of his name - who has wisdom? The saints that’s who) when he reveals his true identity in the temple - that’s the Jewish temple. To understand Rev. you must understand the book of Daniel. Antiochus Epiphanes was a type of the antichrist as was Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar and Herod. There will be another Jewish Temple. It may not be impressive but there will be one. There will be a world government which the antichrist will rule over and there will be great persecution. The persecution will be of true believers. The world will love this guy - he will give them what they want - at least for awhile. I know this is a area where there is a lot of disagreement but I think the wise are getting ready to suffer for their faith. Christ (as others have said here) stated that there would never be a time like it on the whole earth ever again. There’s a LOT of problems saying it has already happened. Wishful thinking and poor exegesis I think. I wonder if they know or used the Midrash, the Jewish Hermeneutic or not?
