Matthew chapters 24 & 25 shows us
the early years of the Tribulation when
persecutions will begin to start.

The Tribulation is God dealing with the
nation of Israel. Israel will be restored
during this time.

The last half of the Tribulation is called
the Great Tribulation also called the
time of 'Jacob's trouble'.

Matthew 24;15-17
He gave Israel a set of verses about
fleeing and getting away. It will be a
time to flee.

Daniel tells of the temple being defiled.
And the New Testament tells of greater
defilement during the tribulation.
The Antichrist will set himself up in the
temple, pretending to be God, which
has been Satan's desire all the time.
