CovCon'24 and the Great Tribulation
by Sam Waldron
We are thankful for the blessings of CovCon 24. In particular, we thank God for the blessings that came from the public ministry of the Word.
But a couple of things happened, which might be the occasion for questions and speculation. What am I talking about? First, when the question was raised about the “Great Tribulation” in the Q&A, all of us speakers responded with “crickets.” Why? Someone might ask. Second, in the last session, I was scheduled to preach on the Tribulation and the Second Coming. But then I changed my subject to Conquering and to Conquer—The Eschatology of Revelation 6. Again, someone might ask, Why? And it might be easy to connect this with our failure to respond to the question about the “Great Tribulation.” Is there some issue or doubt about the Tribulation and the Second Coming?
I decided to blog about this to prevent anyone from putting two and two together and getting five. I want to answer the questions raised by the two events just mentioned.
