Matthew Twenty Four

Chapter 24

1 - 14 Signs of the End of the Age

The Destruction of the Temple is foretold and Jesus tells of the End of the Age, predicting famines and earthquakes, etc. He predicts that there will be persecutions from all nations.

15 - 28 The Desolating Sacrilege and the Coming of the Son of Man

(The Desolating Sacrilege refers to the Book of Daniel) Jesus predicts Second Coming.

32 - 35 The Lesson of the Fig Tree

"Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until this has taken place" We don't know what generation he was talking about.

36 - 44 The Necesssity for Watchfulness

"But about that day and hour, neighter the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." We don't know when it will occur, but we must always be prepared.

45 - 51 The Faithful or the Unfaithful Slave

My notes say that this parable might warn about a delay in Jesus' return (always remain faithful).

That's an exciting story & relevant to the scripture. I'm sure God will continue to use you to His glory as he is now!
