Mt 24

Thoughts on Revelation – Mt 24

Prior to the class yesterday, I was reading Mt 24 and saw the 3 questions that the disciples asked (v3):

1. When will these things happen? (Referring to Jesus’ statement in v2 "Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.")

2. What will be the sign of Your coming (parousia)?

3. What will be the end of the age?

NOTE: Some commentators will state that it is 2 questions instead of 3.

Then came Jesus’ reply in v4 onwards until the end of Mt 25.

Something for us to take note here:

·         Jesus did not answer all the 3 questions. He touched on the first 2.

·         Matthew gospel is arranged topically not chronologically. Therefore, the timeline of the rapture of the church, the events in Jerusalem, the great tribulation may not be in time arrangement in Mt 24.

The outline will be posted sometime later.

Happy searching and Reading.
