Who Will Be Left Behind?

Watch the new and final message from the Olivet Discourse on the subject of the Great Tribulation from Pastor Jeff Durbin of Apologia Church. The modern church (in the West) has been heavily impacted by a view of the future that didn't exist before the 19th-century: Dispensational Premillennialism. Within this view is the idea of a rapture, followed by 7-years of tribulation (some are pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib), followed by a literal 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth. Many appeal to the Olivet Discourse to support their views on this. However, we need to ask the questions: What does Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 actually teach? Who would endure the "Great Tribulation", what generation would see "these things", and who was to be "left behind"? We hope this series and this message in particular is a blessing upon you.
