Tribulation Period
. Times war prisoners were on
Aegean islands
* When Jesus warned about the tribulation period,
He was telling His disciples and other Jews what they
would be going through. He was not talking to a future
generation. This tribulation was part of the Last
Days.
* The Last Days began when Jesus was crucified
and lasted until the End of the Age.
* Read Books 5 & 6 of The Jewish Wars by Josephus
To see how the Jewish people were affected by
famine and other catastrophes that Jesus had
foretold. As well as father turning against son,
and brother against brother.
Jesus CHRIST crucified (Daniel 9:26)(Last Days begins)
* The Jewish revolt is known as “the falling away”
(2 Thessalonians 2:3) it was an attempt by the Jewish
people to get out from under Roman rule.
• What Hitler did to the Jews during WWII was an
abomination. But what the Caesars did to the Jews
during the last half of the 1st century was even worse.
Not only did they kill a larger percentage of the Jews
alive in the world, but they tortured them in the process.
64AD Fire destroyed much of Rome. Nero blamed the
Christians and executed them on crosses. He even had
many set ablaze as human torches. This was the beginning
of the tribulation period which Jesus had warned about and
in which Peter and Paul were executed at Rome.
(2 Peter 1:14)(2 Timothy 4:6)(1 Peter 5:17)
Prisoners are moved from islands to Greece to dig the canal.
Vespasian sent many of the captured Jews and Christians
to Greece to dig the canal through the isthmus at Corinth
for Caesar Nero. (Josephus, B3, C10, V10) But digging
is stopped shortly after Nero’s death, and the prisoners are
sent back to the Aegean islands. John of Patmos probably
received Revelation during one of these two island stays.
70 or 71AD Titus (The Prince) demolished The Temple
(He left not one stone standing on top of another)
(Abomination of Desolation standing in the Holy Place)
73-75AD Vespasian begins construction on Colosseum
at Rome. Moves the slaves from islands to Italy to work
at quarrying and moving the stones for the construction.
81AD Titus finished the Colosseum and held inauguration
games where many of the Jewish and Christian slaves
were killed by gladiator’s swords and wild animals from
Africa. Thereby fulfilling the vision of John of Patmos.
Domitian continued this slaughter of the captives
and had no need to send any captives back to Greece,
since the canal digging was discontinued shortly after
Nero’s death.
