matthew 24:3-51 " 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?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.



For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.



And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.


.....And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.


Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.


.....Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

.....Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.



But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. ...... Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.



But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."




mark 13:24-27 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.


v32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.


Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."




There are alot of scriptures in pauls epistles, in 1 and 2 peter, in revelation the other gospels, and many of the old prophets that enrich and make clearer these short samples from the Lords own words concerning things Only He fully Knew about His return. What Jesus says about the end times should be first learned and then prophecy makes so much more sense. Just sharing some scripture the world is looking pretty dark these days. Let the Light of Jesus Word shine.

God bless

IMO - Matthew 24 is talking about the coming destruction to Jerusalem and the Temple system in 70 AD. Jesus is telling the Jews what was going to happen.

For example - Pray that it not be on a Sabbath day - why? Because by Jewish law people were not allowed to move around on their religious day.

I have always found it so strange that people think all those things Jesus talked about hoping won't be going on, could possibly mean anything at all, or make absolutely one bit of difference if that was honestly the last day of the Earth. I can't get my mind around people engaging in such shallow and disconnected thinking.

It's called "church teachings and denominational traditions" Willie.

Religious beliefs in our mind are major strongholds that need to be torn down and some of them will not come down easily.

We think we are "defending the faith" but in reality we could just be "defending our church teachings and traditions". And if you say something different then what our group believes - you become an automatic heretic and a false teacher/prophet.

It's the way of the flesh.

Why are so many people concerned about the end. We should live in the here and now.
Every day should be a day of thanksgiving for the Lord. Every day should be a day of
repentance for the remission of sin. Every day should be lived in the glory of God. So
many worry about the end so they can be ready; well what are you doing in the meantime.
After we surrender our will to God He will take care of us forever it that is today, tomorrow
or a million years from now. Forget about the end and live with God in your heart every
hour of every day and allow the Lord to do the rest.

partly it is bruce yet you are missing alot if you miss the subject

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?"

and then you would say this has already Happened ?
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.


and this has already Happened ?

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."


opinions vary to be honest but really its pretty clearly about Both the end of time, and what nero and titus did to Jerusalem. unless the world has already ended and we arent the elect lol then its about the end as well. I agree that partly, the lesser part is about the temple, theres more than that Here though.

your welcome glad you found some value.

i think really it has to be a false belief that God will never Keep His word concerning Judgement, that there is no coming day of accountability before God. a lack of belief of the real Gospel because so many distortions exist in minds and hearts. I guess the 4 soils comes to mind.


if we took Gods word more for it Like Noah did, Like abraham did, took Gods word to Heart as if we really do believe it, we would then begin to see the power of Gods word in us to effect change in us. If we took His warnings more, we would be different People living more diligent Lives...... the proper fear of God does that, working in us with all of the Hope, comfort and forgiveness, with the learning, the understanding and peace His word also Offers we need it all Just like it is.


God bless you :)

Honestly dusty, Jesus teaches us to Live everyday as if He is coming back any Moment. it is something that works in us to produce what people here call fruit" its an element of Gods word that works righteousness in us. if we understand there is a day of accountability, and that each day really is that day, it causes action. Im interested in every aspect of Gods Word beginning middle and end, its all relevant if He took the time to purpose it to be written and preserved.


God bless you

And you shall be hated of all men for my name sake. 18. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19. In your patience posses ye your souls.
when you take the time to then put some of revelation next to these Kinds of things Jesus said it helps

revelation 13 :And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."

revelation 14 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.


then you consider daniels vision

daniel 7Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; 20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

23
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

They were not to do any work on the Sabbath. That is why the blind man had to be told to pick up his mat: it would have been considered work.

John 5:8 Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”9 Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day, 10 so the Jews said to the man who was healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

They do nothing from 6 pm Friday evening to Saturday 6 pm. In Jerusalem there is a street Ben Yehuda where all the night clubs are and it is died Friday night, but come Saturday after 6 pm and it is jumping off. You can not have a cheese burger or a pizza with cheese and meat, it is sauce and meat or cheese and sauce unless the resturant is owned by a Palestinian. Every household has two refrigerators one for diary and the other for meats. They observe all of the sabbath rules and the dieatry laws as they undderstand them.

Friday evenings and Saturday mornings until evening in the hotels, stores, resturants and other services are all P
alestinians working, no Jews if there is any it's few and far between. What I found interesting is the Palestinians and Jews get along just fine, the way the news always shows it you would think they are at each others throats all the time. You see the Jews and Palestinians drinking tea and laughing together all the time. Then again you could hear missles blowing up that were courtesy of hamas, other then that you would never know there was a problem.
