What is it about "pattern is prophecy" that you don't understand?
jesus said, when you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (temple inner room) then run, because then their will be great tribulation such as as never before or after. he says it will be so great. If he did not put an end to it. No flesh would survive. So for the elect he puts an end to it.
How?
By his return.. with his armies.
Non of this has happened yet. So why would we think it even started. Let alone we are in the middle of it? Or it was done
