What did Jesus say in Matthew 24 about the last 42 months?
Jesus described the last 42 months, the final three and a half years, as a time of trouble unlike anything the world has ever seen or ever will see. Scripture says it involves Satan's short-time wrath combined with God's promised wrath on Christ-rejecting mankind, beyond human comprehension.
Les explains that the last 42 months, the last three and a half years, will not be just the wrath of God poured out but a combined wrath. It includes the wrath of Satan, because Scripture says he knows he has but a short time, three and a half years, and the wrath of God because He promised to pour out His wrath on Christ-rejecting mankind. As Jesus said in Matthew 24, it is a time of trouble the likes of which the world has never seen or ever will, and it will be such that we cannot even comprehend it.
