Oh, if you only understood context.
Jesus was speaking to his Disciples, Hebrews, not to Gentiles, nor the World.
They were inquiring regarding the fulfillment of God's prophecies to Israel.
I noticed you conveniently skipped verse 16,
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Which squarely places the context, to those who are in Israel and what they will see.
Something that is not plainly mentioned is that the current age of technology ( age of the Gentiles ruling the World) will end first.
This is proven by Eze ch 39 and other passages.
39 9 Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, kindle fires, and burn the weapons— the bucklers and shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. 10 They will not gather wood from the countryside or cut it from the forests, for they will use the weapons for fuel. They will loot those who looted them and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord GOD.
Showing that there is definite lack of technology( back to burning wood for fuel in order to cook and heat with).
So no electricity or natural gas run appliances.
Also a lack military technology at this time, ( no tanks, planes, guns, etc).
So, no smart phones, video, etc! Sorry.
It must occur this way, in order to produce the power vacuum, for the anti Christ to rise to power, First in the Middle East, and then in the rest of the World.
Currently the Gentile, World powers( USA, Russia, etc) control the Middle East to prevent a major conflict or shift in power, Such as the Rise of the Anti Christ to power. So this must change also before any thing else can happen
Quoting: The Dr. Speaking only to Israel? Rev 13:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall SEE their dead bodies three and an half days lie in the street. (KJV) This says other people from other nations will SEE their dead bodies in the street. Speaking only to Israel? Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
I guess I have to 'prove' the tribulation is for the entire world. I'll start with this: Matthew 24:15 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:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. ---- Here we are in the great tribulation: Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! ---- 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. Here's a partial outline to show how Revelation and Matthew 24 events are the same: 7 seal judgements (Rev 6): - Matthew 24, what Jesus calls time of sorrows: First four seal judgements: 4 horses of apocalypse start journey - 1) NWO-globalization - take over by deception; Math 24, see that no man deceives you. 2) war(terrorism?) - Math 24, nation will rise against nation. 3) price of food soars, - Math 24, there will be famine in diverse places. 4) 1/4 earth men dies (hunger, pestilence, catastrophes, etc) - Math 24, disease; famine; earthquakes. Next - seals 5, 6 & 7 5) Christians are killed for believing in Jesus - Math 24, many will be killed for my namesake 6) Great earthquake, sun blackens, moon red, many signs in sky takes place; men hide, for the great day of his wrath is come - Matthew 24, what Jesus calls the Great Tribulation starts with this seal.
