When is the end coming?<\/p>\n

Jesus’ disciples specifically asked Him how to know when this would happen (Matthew 24:3; Mark 13:4; Luke 21:7)–and He responded with details. Several of those details are yet to be fulfilled.<\/p>\n

But sadly, many overlook what Jesus taught, but instead try to point to other things.<\/p>\n

Related to nearly every individual year beginning in 2008, I have denounced false prophets as well as those that speculated on each of those years as to the start of the Great Tribulation, as all who did so were much too close to that date\/year for it to be possible.<\/p>\n

Consider, for example, that although some claimed that the blood moons in 2014 and 2015 may have marked the beginning, I correctly denounced that years ago (Blood Moons, Eclipses, and Prophecy<\/a>; a related YouTube video is also available: Blood Moons, Prophecy, 2014, and 2015<\/span><\/a>) and was proven right. I also denounced the so-called Shemitah year and the claimed devastation that was supposed to hit the world economy, etc. in late 2015 (See also 6000 years up and Jesus to return in 2016?<\/a> and September \u2018convergence\u2019: a harbinger of potential disaster?<\/a>), and again was right. On January 1, 2017, I blasted the idea of the claimed ‘Jubilee of 2017″ would mark the end (see Can the Great Tribulation Start in 2017?)<\/a> Furthermore, I blasted the idea that the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 (see Solar Eclipse and the Apocalypse<\/a>) or Planet Nibiru would begin the tribulation or destroy the Earth (see Doomsayers: Planet Nibiru to destroy Planet Earth in four weeks<\/a>). I also denounced the view that because of the formation of the tiny nation of Israel in 1948, that the Great Tribulation needed to start 70 years later, like in 2018 (watch Can the Great Tribulation begin in 2018?<\/a>). Some wrongly claimed that something from the “Sabbatical Code” as well as a shemita-decree calculation or a message from Fatima predicted 2019 (see False \u2018Great Tribulation\u2019 predictions\/calculations for 2019<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Because according to the Bible, other events needed to occur, that had not yet occurred.<\/p>\n

We must base the timing of the Great Tribulation upon what the Bible teaches.<\/p>\n

The reality is that there are various clues in the Bible, and such as in the books of Daniel and Matthew, that make the prospective of the Great Tribulation happening in the next three years impossible. This article will discuss the earliest timing of the Great Tribulation, the Beginning of Sorrows, some of what happens in the Great Tribulation itself, and the Day of the Lord.<\/p>\n

(Our most recent Great Tribulation video is available to watch: Could the Great Tribulation Begin in 2020?<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Yet, we have seen events occur that are getting us closer.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, from abortion to increased acceptance of sexual immorality to terrorism to politicians we are seeing the following being fulfilled:<\/p>\n

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With all this going on, can the Great Tribulation begin in 2020?<\/p>\n

Let’s look at the claims of some who have said it may be so.<\/p>\n

A website called Tribulation Now<\/em> has a chart which it claims supports 2018, 2019, or 2020 as the start of the Great Tribulation and\/or a claimed rapture “2018 \u2013 2020 possible (Rapture) Timeline” (https:\/\/tribulation-now.org\/2015-2016-rapture-timeline\/ accessed 10\/27\/19). No, real proof was given for the assertion. It looks like the same chart has been used for many years and the dates of a heading simply changed.<\/p>\n
