What does Matthew 24 describe according to this teaching?
According to this teaching, Matthew 24 describes the tribulation, specifically the final seven years. Jesus speaks prophetically about that period, noting current earthquakes, unruly weather, and wars are only a preview; far worse will break loose once the tribulation begins.
Les teaches that Matthew 24, especially from verse 15 onward, is all tribulation. He emphasizes that Jesus is strictly speaking prophetically about the final seven years. While we already see a great increase in earthquakes, unruly weather, and wars that even the United Nations cannot handle, Les says these are nothing compared to what will break loose once the tribulation begins.
