Matthew ch. 24 THE END

3952 parousia presence, a coming, an arrival, advent, especially of the second coming of Christ

I don't want to get off track but "he will return in like manner" as He ascended to heaven, also when He closed the book for the 2nd part of the sentence...the day of vengeance, or when we gather to Him He has to "come" to be "present" He is returning as Lord of Lords and king of Kings,

I don't think I understand the "wrong translation" part. I know His presence or coming will begin the millennium.


and it is "coming" 22 times and presence (2) times.

His "presence" will be "The Lords Day"

The answer is : "beware nobody misleads you".

It was the sign; the kernel of the chapter which is: take food only from me (Jesus Christ), be aware of false christian Christs.

I must have misunderstood the post. I thought it was to be a verse by verse analysis and I did not realize we had gone on to Verse 4.

yes we don't have Matthew 24 without Matthew 23. in which He says woe, woe woe! and calls the scribes and pharisees -- occupants of the temple -- whitewashed tombs, beautiful on the outside but inside full of corpses.

so why are disciples trying to show Him the temple, in 24:1?

what? why? what are they thinking?
what does it mean that they are doing this when He's just gone through all the woes in ch. 23?
why does 24 come after 23?

verse 4 then And answering Jesus said to them take heed lest anyone mislead you. First thing for me was the "lest" as a qualified negative making the statement emphatic. lead astray, deceive, cause to wander.

So absolutely the first thing you need to watch out for and to make sure doesn't happen is that NO ONE LEADS YOU ASTRAY Watch out for deception. He makes sure we know deception is coming.

why do they ask the three questions in 24:3 after He had just given the answer of 23:37-39 ?

Because He is now referring to it as "Your house" when at the start He referred to as His Fathers house.

There's nothing wrong with seeking clarification. And those questions helped all Christians to understand how things would develop.

I don't know what response you are trying to elicit is that the right word I always get confused, but the ones who were supposed to be in charge of teaching Gods words had mostly become the vagabond jews of the synagogue of Satan and were in to robbing not only money but knowledge as well. They made sure they looked good on the outside but just like the inside of the temple they were filthy.

John 2:16 (at the beginning of the Lords Ministry) And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

I agree. No questions, no answers. Hopefully who ever answers them knows where to find it in the Word. If not, bybye

IOW isn't ch. 24 all about 22:1-14, the parable that precedes 22-24?

IOW???

I love and hate this parable. It makes me cry.

Good questions (in your entire post). I bolded a couple parts... because I believe one aspect of their Qs in verse 3 (part of that) was asked based on what He had ALREADY spoken with them about in Matt13:24,30,39,40,49-50 regarding "the end [singular] of the age [singular]" [also stated in v.3 here] (as well as what FOLLOWS that time period, but mentioned in the chpt previous to 13, in 12:32, "the age [singular] to come" [what WE know as / commonly call "the promised and prophesied earthly Millennial Kingdom, which will commence upon His "return" to the earth]). Jesus responds to that, in His answer that follows (i.e. in chpts 24-25), and I believe the "you" throughout, is a consistent "you" and a "proleptic 'you'," meaning (basically), "all those in the future OF THE SAME CATEGORY" (He is speaking to those who had been promised "the promised and prophesied earthly Millennial Kingdom," AKA "the wedding FEAST/SUPPER" of Matt22:2-14, AKA "the kingdom of the heavens [on the earth]" of Matt13 [etc])… It is THEY (those "faithful [remnant] OF ISRAEL") who will [in the future trib years (having come to faith WITHIN the trib [FOLLOWING our Rapture])] BE the ones DOING the "INVITING" [of the "guests [plural]"] TO "the promised and prophesied earthly Millennial Kingdom" which was promised to them. IOW, the Matt22:2-14 passage does not cover/concern/mention "the Bride/Wife [singular]" and is not about "the MARRIAGE" itself, but "the wedding FEAST/SUPPER" [the MK age], which do not occur at the exact same moment (and involve distinct characters, if you will).

The buildings were three fortified towers in the temple precincts but not in the Temple itself.
