Temple Destruction and Other Signs

(Matthew 24:1–8; Luke 21:5–9)

As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!” Mat 24:1-51Ezk 11:22-23Ezk 10:19Ezk 10:4Ezk 7:20-22Ezk 8:6Mal 3:1-2Luk 21:5-36

“Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” Luk 21:6Mat 24:21Ki 9:7-8Jer 26:18Mic 3:122Ch 7:20-21Luk 19:41-44Act 6:14

While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately, Mat 21:1Mrk 4:34Jhn 1:40-41Mat 13:10Mat 13:36Mat 17:1Mat 24:3Mrk 1:16-19 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?” Act 1:6-7Mat 24:3Dan 12:6Jhn 21:21-22Dan 12:8Luk 21:7

Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you. Col 2:8Eph 5:6Jer 29:81Co 15:331Jn 4:12Th 2:3Luk 21:8Mat 24:4-5 Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. Mrk 13:221Jn 4:1Jhn 5:43Act 5:36-39Jer 14:14Jer 23:21-25Jhn 8:24Mat 24:11 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come. Luk 21:9-11Jhn 14:27Mat 24:6-7Psa 112:7Psa 27:3Act 17:32Sa 14:14Isa 8:12 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. Mat 24:8Psa 48:61Th 5:3Hag 2:22Isa 37:3Act 11:28Isa 19:2Jer 13:21

Witnessing to All Nations

(Matthew 24:9–14; Luke 21:10–19)

So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. Mat 10:17-18Jhn 16:21Co 4:9-13Mrk 13:5Php 1:292Co 11:23-272Th 1:5Act 12:1-3 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations. Mat 24:14Col 1:23Col 1:6Mrk 16:15Rev 14:6Rom 10:18Mat 28:18-19Rom 1:8 But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit. Luk 21:14-15Luk 12:11-12Mat 10:19-21Act 6:101Co 2:131Pe 1:122Sa 23:2Isa 50:4

Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. Mat 10:21Luk 12:52-53Ezk 38:21Luk 21:16Mat 24:10Mic 7:4-6 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

The Abomination of Desolation

(Matthew 24:15–25; Luke 21:20–24)

So when you see the abomination of desolation 1standing where it should not be 2(let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Dan 12:11Dan 9:27Dan 11:31Mat 24:15-28Luk 21:20-241Co 14:20Act 8:30-31Dan 8:13 Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house. Heb 11:7Luk 17:31-33Php 3:7-8Act 27:18-19Act 27:38Gen 19:15-17Gen 19:22Gen 19:26 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! Lam 4:10Luk 23:29Deu 28:56-57Hos 13:16Hos 9:14Lam 2:19-20Lam 4:3-4Luk 21:23 Pray that this will not occur in the winter. For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again. Dan 12:1Jol 2:2Mat 24:21Dan 9:26Dan 9:12Lam 1:12Luk 21:22-24Mrk 10:6 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short. Mat 24:22Isa 65:8-9Zec 13:8-9Rom 11:28-32Isa 1:9Isa 6:13Rom 11:23-24Rom 11:5-7

At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it. Luk 21:8Mat 24:23-25Mat 24:5Deu 13:1-3Luk 17:23-24Jhn 5:43 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. Mat 24:242Th 2:8-14Mrk 13:61Jn 2:26Mat 7:15Jhn 10:27-281Jn 2:19Jhn 4:48 So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance. 2Pe 3:17Isa 44:7-8Jhn 14:29Luk 21:8Mrk 13:5Jhn 16:1-4Luk 21:34Mat 7:15

The Return of the Son of Man

(Matthew 24:26–31; Luke 21:25–28)

But in those days, after that tribulation: Isa 13:10Act 2:19-20Mat 24:29-31Rev 6:12-142Pe 3:10Amo 5:20Jol 2:30-31Jol 3:15

‘The sun will be darkened,

and the moon will not give its light;

the stars will fall from the sky, Isa 34:4Rev 6:13

and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’ 3

At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 4 Rev 1:7Mat 16:27Mat 24:30Mrk 14:62Mat 25:31Dan 7:9-14Mrk 8:381Th 4:16 And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. Zec 2:6Mat 24:31Deu 30:42Th 2:1Rev 7:1-3Luk 16:22Mat 13:41Mrk 13:20

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

(Matthew 24:32–35; Luke 21:29–33)

Now learn this lesson 5from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. Luk 21:29-31Mat 24:32-33 So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, 6 right at the door. 1Pe 4:17-18Jas 5:9Ezk 12:25-28Heb 10:25-37Ezk 7:10-12 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. Mat 24:34Luk 21:32Mat 16:28Mat 23:36Mrk 9:1 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. Isa 40:8Isa 51:6Mat 24:35Luk 21:33Mat 5:18Psa 102:25-27Heb 1:10-12Num 23:19

Readiness at Any Hour

(Matthew 24:36–51; Luke 12:35–48)

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Mat 24:36-42Act 1:7Mat 25:13Rev 3:31Th 5:1-2Mrk 13:26-27Mat 25:62Pe 3:10 Be on your guard and stay alert! 7 For you do not know when the appointed time will come. Luk 12:40Rom 13:11-12Eph 6:18Rev 16:151Pe 4:71Pe 5:8Luk 21:34-36Mat 25:13

It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch. Jhn 10:3Mat 25:14-30Luk 12:36-40Mat 24:45-471Co 15:58Ezk 3:17-21Ezk 33:2-9Act 20:29-31 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning. Mat 24:42Mrk 13:33Mat 24:44Mrk 14:30Mrk 6:48 Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping. 1Th 5:6-7Rom 13:11-14Luk 21:34Mat 24:48-51Mrk 14:40Mat 25:5Isa 56:10Mrk 14:37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!” Luk 12:41-46Mrk 13:33Mrk 13:35
