448th Post Jesus Predictions Con't. Predictions of End Times Con't. - Matthew 24: 2 - 14 Con't.

Jesus then said then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you.  What happened to the people of the early Church has been used to fulfill this part of the prophecy.  You could make a case for this, however, the end has not come yet.  In Revelation, the martyrs call from under the altar for their blood to be avenged.  Daniel Chapter 7 talks about the anti-christ waging war against the saints for a time, times and a half a time, if the saints are pre-trib raptured, who are these saints the anti-christ is waging war against??  I believe that the tribulation to come will be even worse than what the early Church martyrs went through.  What the early Church suffered is a harbinger of what is to come in the future.  Jesus went on to say how love will grow cold, this did not happen during the early Church martyrdom.  Jesus said the end would not come until the gospel had been preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.  The Gospel has been preached throughout the world, but as of yet has not reached the whole world.  These are just signs, not THE SIGNS!
