Jesus talked about the Tribulation Period on the Mount of Olives.
"The abomination that causes desolation" is mentioned here. According to the book of Daniel chapter 9, it says that "he" or the antichrist, will confirm a covenant of peace with Israel. At this point, the Tribulation Period will begin. However, three and half years later, he will one-sidedly cancel the covenant, set himself a throne in the temple and proclaiming himself to be God. Then he will terrifyingly persecute those who don't obey him. That is why people are asked to flee immediately. But that day will not last long. The end of the Tribulation Period will come and the Lord will come again. With these things in mind, let us remember the followings:
The first is to watch out so that we are not to be deceived. It is to make sure what comes out of God, or what comes out of devil.
The second is to see the whole plan of God and walk. We Christians will have been taken to heaven by the Rapture, still before that, it is important to testify the Lord to the people around us. Also, it is necessary to imagine the time when we stand in front of the Lord while living our lives.
The Lord told us ahead of time. Let us be such ones who walk wisely.

<The Verse of the Bible>
When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong - let the reader understand - then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Mark 13:14 (NIV)
