The Gospel Of Matthew Chapter 24 Part 9 The Signs Of Jesus' Return

-

Jesus began answering three questions from His disciples. First, when will the end of the world come?  Second, what signs will accompany the return of Christ?  Third, what will the end of the world be like? So far in this chapter, Jesus warned against false prophets and false Christs. He described the end times as having ongoing wars and conflicts, earthquakes, famine and disease. The primary differentiator is that they will increase in frequency and intensity as the end of the world draws closer. Those who preach the gospel and seek to live in a way that glorifies God, will come under increasing persecution, betrayal, or physical attacks. These terrible times will be followed by the last seven years of history, as the rise of the antichrist begins. He will sign a seven year peace treaty, but in the middle of it he will betray Israel and demand to be worshiped as God. The antichrist will seek to exterminate the Jewish people and Jesus warned them to flee into the wilderness wh...

Matthew 24:15-22  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:  17  Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:  18  Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.  :19  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!  20  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:  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.  22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.    In our last post, we studied about the abomination of desolation that Daniel pr...

The Gospel Of Matthew Chapter 24 Part 6 End TImes and Suffering For The Gospel

-

We must remember when studying Jesus' teaching about last days, that the Church is still a mystery, hidden by God until the feast of Pentecost in Acts 2. Jesus only spoke of the church once, when He told Peter that He will build it and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it (See Matthew 16:18). What this means is that Israel and the Jewish people are the primary focus of Christ's Words regarding end times. However, there are general truths that apply to believers in every generation, and I will seek to highlight them as we make our way through this chapter. Matthew 24:3-14  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?  4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  5  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  6  And ye shall hear of...
