Is the Holocaust worse than the final three and a half years?
No. The final three and a half years will be far worse than the Holocaust. Scripture indicates that even the Holocaust, as awful as it was, cannot compare; none of human history's horrors put together will come close to that period. It is described as a double-barreled outpouring of God's wrath and Satan's wrath, days of great tribulation such as never were before.
Les explains that the final three and a half years will be a time of unprecedented tribulation. He notes that Satan will be cast out of heaven and, knowing his time is short, will pull out all the stops. At the same time, this period is called the wrath of God. So there will be a double-barreled unloading on the planet—satanic forces and a righteous God. Les points to the horrible news pictures from Yugoslavia and the Holocaust, saying none of it together will come close to those final three and a half years. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 24 that these will be days of great tribulation such as never were before, nor ever could be again. The old planet faces the final outpouring of both God's wrath and Satan's wrath.
