To what did Les compare the tribulation judgments?
The tribulation judgments are compared to birth pangs, an analogy Jesus made in Matthew 24. They begin mild and far apart, but as the delivery hour approaches, everything increases and crescendos, like a young lady approaching delivery of her little one.
Les teaches that the tribulation judgments are a perfect parallel of a young lady approaching delivery of her little one. As the birth pangs begin, they are rather mild and still rather far apart, but as she comes closer and closer to the delivery hour, everything increases and crescendos. He notes this is the analogy Jesus made in Matthew 24, and it applies as the trumpet judgments begin.
