What will cause the tremendous loss of life in the tribulation?

Scripture indicates the great tribulation's massive loss of life will stem from natural calamities—earthquakes, volcanoes, cosmic disturbances, and likely meteor storms—as well as the political and military ramifications that will take a heavy toll. Jesus said those days would be so horrendous that unless they ended on schedule, no flesh would survive.

Les teaches that the great tribulation will be far greater than even the first three and a half years. In verse 22 Jesus said those days will be so horrendous and take so much life that unless they end right on schedule—1,260 days and another 1,260 days—no flesh would be saved. Les explains the tremendous loss of life will come because of natural calamity, earthquake, volcanoes, cosmic disturbances; he thinks there will be great meteor storms. But not only that, the political and military ramifications are going to take such a heavy toll of life. Those days will be shortened, or end on schedule, for the elect's sake, so some believers survive.

What will cause the great loss of life in the final half of the Tribulation?
