Understanding the context of Jesus' "great tribulation" prophecy

It is important to understand the context in which Jesus spoke about that "great tribulation" prior to the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.

When He got to this part of the prophecy, He warned His church to flee from the city when they saw certain specific signs that the destruction was very near. Those specific signs were the presence or approaching presence of the destroyers of the city.

The presence of armies around Jerusalem was the specific sign of the impending destruction of the temple:



When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 


Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:


Mar 13:14

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: 



Luk 19:41
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,


Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.


For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,


And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Luk 21:24

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.


And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.


Luk 21:21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.



The disciples were to flee because great tribulation would occur due to the armies around Jerusalem 



And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!


But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:


For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.


And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.


For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.


But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.


Luk 21:24

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

THREE Synonyms For The Severity Of The Siege


Jesus said that the Jewish nation would experience great tribulation, affliction, great distress and wrath that they had never seen in all of their history. This is a prophecy of the sufferings and calamities that would ensue.

The Greek word for tribulation is thlipsis (Strong's G2347).  

1. Great Tribulation

For then shall be great tribulation (thlipsis - Strong's G2347), such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.


2. Affliction

For in those days shall be affliction (thlipsis - Strong's G2347), such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.


3. Great distress and wrath

But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress (Strong's G318 - anagkÄ“) in the land, and wrath upon this people.




Historical evidence that Jesus' prophecy about great tribulation was fulfilled 

Jewish historian Flavius Josephus wrote about the horrors and suffering that were endured by the Jews who were hemmed into the city by the Roman army.
