What did Jesus actually mean when He warned about “great tribulation”? Was He predicting the end of the planet… or something far more immediate to His first-century audience?

In this episode, we dive deep into Matthew 24, the meaning of the Greek word thlipsis (tribulation), the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, and how history connects directly to Jesus’ warnings.

We explore:

• What “tribulation” really means in Scripture
• Why Matthew 24 begins with the Temple
• The Roman siege of Jerusalem in AD 70
• Whether the “Great Tribulation” was future or fulfilled
• Why Revelation was written to suffering believers
• How fear-based end-times teaching has shaped modern Christianity
• What Jesus actually wanted His followers to understand
