Podcasts about Matthew 24

Sermon preached by John Welkner at the Evangelical Christian Church of Dubai on Matthew 24:1-14.

Jesus continues his private meeting with his disciples on end times. In this final installment of the Olivet Discourse, we discuss the rapture, the judgment, and the end of the age. Matthew 24:29-44Matthew 25:31-46www.messagetokings.com

We don't need to guess what Jesus thought about the end times—He laid it out clearly in Matthew 24. Not with cryptic riddles, but with heartfelt warnings. He wasn't trying to scare us… He was preparing us. So today, we're digging into what Jesus said—and what He meant—for those who follow Him in these last days.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“See that no one leads you astray.” — Matthew 24:4 (ESV)Before Jesus talked about wars or famines or earthquakes, the very first warning He gave in Matthew 24 was about deception. That should get our attention. In fact, He says it multiple times throughout the chapter. “Many will come in My name…” “False prophets will arise…” “Even the elect could be deceived…”Why the emphasis? Because Jesus knew the last days would be noisy. Loud voices. Bold claims. Religious jargon cloaked in falsehood. If we're not grounded, we'll get pulled in.But then Jesus shifts gears. He says, yes—there will be wars and famines. Nation against nation. Lawlessness. Betrayal. Persecution. But He doesn't say, “Run.” He says, “Endure.” “Stand firm.” “Lift up your head.”Jesus never said this would be easy. He said it would be worth it.And here's the most beautiful part—right in the middle of all the warnings, He says the Gospel will be preached to the ends of the earth. Yes, there's shaking. But there's also sending. God is raising up a people who will preach with boldness while others hide in fear.This is our time. This is our assignment. Not to decode every symbol—but to live every day with urgency, with holiness, and with compassion for the lost.Question of the Day:Which of Jesus' warnings in Matthew 24 feels most relevant to you today?Mini Call to Action:Take 10 minutes today to read Matthew 24 out loud. Don't skim it. Read it slowly. Let Jesus' words speak directly to your spirit.Let's Pray:Lord Jesus, thank You for Your warnings and Your wisdom. Help me not to live in fear, but in faith. Let me be rooted in truth and bold in love, standing ready for Your return. Amen.Let's Get To Work!Jesus didn't warn us to paralyze us—He warned us to prepare us. Now it's our move.

Dr. Alan Kurschner explained the problem with identifying Matthew 24:30 with the battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19. He responded to this standard pretrib interpretation and explained the most problematic point with this view, which violates the narrative logic of both the Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation. In particular, the Noahic illustration and […] The post Why Interpreting Matthew 24:30 as Armageddon Does Not Work appeared first on ESCHATOS MINISTRIES.

The believer is prepared for Christ's return, but the unbeliever is only preparing himself for weeping and gnashing of teeth. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.

The final message from Matthew 24

Here we see again the agape' love of God through His son, Jesus to Christ. Jesus warned his disciples of the forthcoming atrocities that will be impose upon the church by nonbelievers, those that don't know the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and don't know that they don't know. These are the teachers and preachers without the indwelling of the Christ of God, by the baptism of the Holy Ghost. However the church is reminded that for those that believe and embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ in the end when Jesus comes to get the righteous at the great resurrection shall be caught up to meet Him in the air.

1 Chronicles 29; 19 Psalms 48-49; 40 Matthew 24

In chapters 24 and 25 of Matthew we have "The Olivet Prophecy". The first of these chapters is today's reading and centres on signs answering the three questions of verse 3. Chapter 25 is more about readying ourselves for our Lord's return. Note the link to the end of chapter 23. The leprous house was to be thrown down stone by stone. Disciples would be confused by claims made by false Messiahs and these would be accompanied by betrayal and persecution. A great sign to believers would be the desolation of Israel caused by the Roman invasion which had been foretold by Moses in Deuteronomy 28 and to Daniel in his ninth chapter. Opportunity would be provided for disciples to flee; this happened as Robert Roberts pointed out in "Ways of Providence" on five occasions. But those failing to heed Jesus' warnings would perish in the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple. The "Sign of the Son of Man in heaven" related to the presence of Rome's armies in the incipient fulfilling of those words and later, to a larger degree, to the restoration of the state of Israel. Next followed the parable of the fig tree (representative of Israel), and tells us why desolation had to come. Despite the signs none could know exactly when. Preparedness would be essential and disciples need to be ready by demonstrating patience by two traits - wisdom and faithfulness (verse 45). Chapter 25, in tomorrow's readings, will explain this through parables.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 49 Gary responds to a challenge issued to him on Facebook about the great tribulation and the "end times." The challenge-writer is convinced that we are living in the last days now, based on Israel becoming a nation again in 1948, and all of the modern "signs" of the times confirming Jesus warnings from the Olivet Discourse.

24:32-39

Daily Dose of Hope July 11, 2025   Scripture - Matthew 24:36-51   Prayer:  Almighty God, We thank you for a new day and we praise your perfect name.  We are grateful that your mercies are new every single morning.  Help us see you in this day.  Help us recognize your voice.  Lord, help us reflect you today in our words.  Help us reflect you in our behavior.  Help us remember who and whose we are.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  I apologize for this devotional being late.  My rhythm got knocked off a bit with Vacation Bible School.  It was absolutely wonderful and exhausting in a good way.  We had just over 200 kids and roughly 65 volunteers.  Please continue to be in prayer for every child and every family – may those who don't know Jesus grow closer to knowing him and may those who don't have a church home come join us at New Hope.   Today, we are finishing up Matthew 24.  This is really a continuation of the discussion in the first portion of the chapter.  Jesus is saying that the time and hour he will return are not known.  And we are not supposed to be guessing and predicting.  We are simply told to be ready.   Certain groups of Christians have focused a great deal on the coming judgment and the end times. I think what we find in this chapter is that there is more that we don't know than what we do know. For thousands of years, people have predicted Jesus' return and the coming judgment and each and every time, they were wrong. I'm always a bit skeptical of anyone who makes predictions like these. I mean, the Scripture says, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” If Jesus doesn't know, then why should we?   Keep watch. Be ready. We don't need to worry about the coming judgment because we know Jesus. But we do need to be actively living as a follower. We need to be sharing the Good News with others. We need to be genuine, loving, and truthful in how we do life. Do your neighbors know that you love Jesus? Do your coworkers know that you follow Jesus? Is your faith obvious and real? Why or why not? Let's take this Scripture seriously, friends.   The chapter ends with a parable about a faithful and unfaithful servant.  Jesus says that blessed is the servant whose master finds him working diligently when he arrives.  That servant will be put in charge of many possessions.  But the unfaithful servant is the one who assumes his master is delayed so he mistreats his fellow servants and drinks instead of working.  When the master arrives home unexpectantly, the servant will be cut into pieces and thrown in with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  Well, that sounds pretty terrible.   What is the meaning of the parable?  Basically, Jesus is saying that our actions, our behavior, shows what we truly believe.  If we believe in Jesus, then we obey him and choose to do the right thing.  We live a faithful life, ready for when he will return.  If we don't obey and don't live faithfully, it's like saying we don't believe.   Don't deny God with your actions.  Know God and be ready for his return at any time.    Are you ready?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

In the final chapter of Daniel, the prophet is shown that those who are wise and faithful will one day awake to everlasting life. This teaching explores Daniel 12 through history—not speculation—and reveals how God's justice will prevail, even beyond the grave. Daniel's life ends with a promise: resurrection and reward for enduring faithfulness. Daniel chapter 12 closes the prophet's visions with one of the most profound promises in Scripture: resurrection to everlasting life for the righteous. In this episode, we avoid speculative eschatology and focus on what history confirms and the moral truths we can apply. We examine how Michael the archangel arose to defend God's people, how the Maccabees fulfilled their role as the “shining ones” who turned many to righteousness, and how the resurrection remains a future hope for the faithful. From Hebrew wordplay to prophetic patterns, this teaching shows how Daniel's vision offers timeless encouragement for those who endure suffering in hope of the coming kingdom. Spiritual Takeaway -  Daniel 12 reminds us that faithfulness in exile is not in vain. The righteous will shine like stars and be raised to everlasting life. Stand firm—resurrection is coming. 

Daily Dose of Hope July 10, 2025   Scripture - Matthew 24:1-35   Prayer:  Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth!  We magnify your precious and powerful name.  How often we forget how mighty you are.  You created all.  You created us.  Thank you, Lord, for who you are.  Most of all, thank you for loving us with all our flaws and brokenness.  In all we do, in who we are, help us to be more like you.  We pray for humility, mercy, and compassion.  Help us see others through your eyes.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we start Matthew 24.   We start with this interesting discourse about the Temple.  Jesus has taken awhile to get to this point.  He has given plenty of warnings as to what is going to happen.  But the disciples just can't let it go; it's all a lot for them to understand at this point.  They draw attention to the size and grandeur of the Temple buildings.  Even though they were from Galilee, most of these men would have seen the Temple before.  They were required to attend multiple festivals each year at the Temple in Jerusalem.  But they continue to be enamored by the Temple.  And it was a beautiful sight.  Psalm 84:1 reads, How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty!   Thus, when Jesus tells them that the Temple will all be knocked down, they don't know what to make of it.  They want to know all the nitty gritty details.    What's interesting about this is that Rome destroys the Temple roughly forty years after Jesus said this.  This would be an ugly season in Jerusalem's history, with lots of persecution and oppression.  Is this what Jesus is referring to in nation rising against nation, famines, earthquakes, and so forth?  Scholars don't all agree but I think it's safe to say yes and no.  Yes, the Roman armies destroying Jerusalem in AD 70 was pretty horrific.  Much of the population was starved and/or eventually massacred.   But there is more to this.  This is more than just a “in the near future” scenario. It's also likely that Jesus is referring to the end of times and when he will return to judge all people.  We certainly have images of Jesus returning on the clouds with the loud trumpet call; this echoes prophecy in Daniel.  Look at verses 30 and 31, Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.   And up until this point, Jesus has often alluded to this.  He never tells people to be scared or worried, just to be ready.  As believers, we have nothing to fear.  We belong to Jesus.  Just be ready.  But there is still an urgency to this – how seriously do we take this?  Are we busy doing God's business, which includes leading people to Jesus?  Is sharing the story of Jesus a regular part of who we are as believers?  If not, why?  Do you believe that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead?  These are serious questions that every single one of us has to reckon with.    One other thing to mention about this passage.  At this point, the disciples still don't understand that God's presence now dwells in the person of Jesus Christ.  From their perspective, the Temple still holds the presence of God.  But the Good News of Jesus is that God's presence is no longer in a building but in Jesus.  God is Jesus and Jesus is God.   If that isn't enough to blow your mind, consider that the presence of God is now also in the person of the Holy Spirit.  Where does the Holy Spirit dwell?  Well, in us as believers!  So that means that the presence of God is in Jesus' church, his people.    That being said, are we living and acting like the presence of the Living God is in us?  I'll be honest; I always find this question so convicting.  Think about your day.  Think about what you said and did.  Was there anything that you would change if you could, thinking about how you represent the Living God?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki
