When did Jesus refer to when he said "the last days..." Before or after the Tribulation?

Answer 1

The last days implies an ending. Great Tribulation is that end.

In Matthew 24, it has two fulfillments. The literal one in about 70CE and a latter day, greater fulfillment involving the entire planet.

We are living in those last days of this corrupt system. Good people have said for years things cannot get worse. Their good hearts get in the way of seeing how low man can go. Our understanding of science and history shows it will not go on for much longer as the stresses on the planet are getting to huge for it to handle.

Answer 2

Tribulation? Are you a Jehovah's Witness I wonder? Anyways Jesus always referred to the last days, the error before Armageddon was to come. In Mathew he gives clues on how to know if you are living in these days. For example in Mathew 24:7 he states "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." read that chapter because he will go on to show the signs of the end times.

If you read the "king of the north and the king of the south" passage in Daniel you can see how the sequence of what leads to the Tribulation. It states that one of the Kings (symbolic of a nation) will declare war on religion and declare world peace, thus starting the tribulation. It even states that it will be so bad that God will have to step in otherwise no flesh will survive. To add on to the "after the Tribulation? Jesus will thus come in and judge the surviving individuals thus starting Armageddon. Read Revelation 12 to learn what happens then. Hope that helps

Answer 3

Before. The ''last days" are the days running up to the tribulation. After that there will no longer be wickedness anymore.

Answer 4

In my understanding it includes the tribulation, He said also " in the world you will have tribulation, but be of good sheer" yes the "last days" do include the tribulation period.

Answer 5

The last days began in 1948, with Israel becoming a nation . This is not to cut down the Jew's but to show that this was a point The book of Dan . and Ezekiel show this after 2500 yrs of being scattered they are now a nation as was promised . We are now as the bible states "as in the Days of Noah ".What this means is that things get worse , just as they did in those days No one wanted to listen to Noah , or follow his ways , just as no one wants to see the truth of the Bible or follow its direction. We have the bashers and mockers etc etc .people trying to prove the bible false , or no such thing as Jesus or God .If you look close we are warned about climate change and bad weather wars volcano's earth quakes on and on even a bad generation of children getting worse . .All the warning signs are there in black and white and here every day if we would look around . PROPHECY COME TRUE AND PROPHECY ABOUT TO HAPPEN EVEN THE SPLITTING OF JERUSALEM .And even more to follow with Russia and China and nuclear bombs etc etc

Answer 6

Answer 7

The book of Revelation helps us to clarify this . .. JESUS says HE is the ALPHA and OMEGA . .. this means JESUS HIMSELF marks the end of days . ..

We should remark that the bride of Adam was built from the rib taken from his side . ..

by the same token the BRIDE OF CHRIST, the TEMPLE which was built in three days is being built from the BLOOD AND WATER which flowed from the wound in the side of CHRIST . .. the BLOOD represents THE HOLY EUCHARIST and the WATER represents BAPTISM . ..

Also note that the Story of Noah indicates teh flood which was to come in teh sea of peoples . .. we go from many people to one which is Noah only redeemed . . . and then from one in Abraham to many in a Sea of peoples we see today on Earth . ..

All who are then good are one JESUS CHRIST. but also Noah's family was saved, and we being in CHRIST are adopted into the FAMILY OF GOD . .. we are saved in the only one good and righteous to be saved as long as we abide in CHRIST . ..

the Last days are today . .. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOW . .. the TEMPLE is being built as the BRIDE OF CHRIST before our eyes . .. CHRIST is the ARK which will carry us to salvation from among the sea . .. even as MOTHER MARY is the ARK which carries JESUS to us . ..

LOVE your neighbor as yourself . ..
