Pastor John Randall will bring us another challenging message from God's word today as we continue our study through Matthew. We'll pay another visit to the Olivet Discourse in chapter 24 today. If you'll recall this is Jesus' response to His disciples' question concerning when the Temple would be destroyed, when the end of the age would occur, and when His second coming would take place and His Kingdom be established. But today we want to pause and consider how we are to live in light of what of what we've been made aware of. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Die Ölbergrede in Matthäus 24–25 ist ein zentraler prophetischer Abschnitt, der sich nicht an die Gemeinde, sondern an Israel richtet. Jesus Christus spricht dort über die Zukunft Seines Volkes, über Gericht, Trübsal und Seine Wiederkunft in Herrlichkeit.Viele Christen missverstehen diesen Text, wenn sie ihn direkt auf die Gemeinde anwenden. Dennoch enthält er geistliche Prinzipien, die auch für uns heute hilfreich und lehrreich sind.
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
Our weekly LIVE show answers bible and ministry questions sent into our website http://www.keithfoskey.comHere are the questions and timestamps for this show:Church Voting — Does the congregation not have a voice? What about Receiving Church Members Without a Vote How does your church receive new members without voting? Do the people have a say like they do with affirming elders? 28:00Lying and Revelation 21:8 — Do biblical prohibitions on lying apply universally, even in extreme scenarios? How do we balance moral law with real-world situations like protecting others? 40:15Sin vs. Temptation How can I tell the difference between sin and temptation? I usually treat it as sin, but I'm unsure if that's correct. 49:15Supralapsarianism vs. Infralapsarianism Can you explain the difference between these two views, and which one you hold to? 56:30- Book Recommendation: The Plan of Salvation by B.B. Warfield https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Plan-of-Salvation-Audiobook/B0CM6V5MFF?source_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdpPelagianism vs. Arminianism What is the difference between these two theological positions? 1:00:20Universal Church vs. Local Church I believe the visible church is important, but some leaders say the universal church is a Roman Catholic invention. Are Baptists the only “bride of Christ”? 1:06:55Calvinist Preaching Expectations If a Calvinist pastor never preaches explicitly on the doctrines of grace, is that a failure? I've been to many Reformed churches where I'd never know they were Calvinist. 1:10:00“Seek God and He'll Find You” What are your thoughts on the phrase, “If you start looking for God, He'll find you before you find Him”? 1:16:30Elder Unity on Eschatology Should a church's elders be unified on eschatology? What if they differ on things like Revelation or the Olivet Discourse (non-dispensational)? 1:21:00Partial-Preterist Amillennial Resources You've mentioned your partial-preterist Amillennialism. What resources helped you get there? I'm leaning that way but struggling to piece it all together. 1:26:40Disagreements on Non-Essential Doctrines In our church, we don't take hardline stances on things like eschatology or creation. Is this openness acceptable, or am I being too accommodating? 1:30:49End-Times Films Have you seen “The Remaining” (2014)? How does it compare to “A Thief in the Night”? 1:33:44Documentary Review Request Would you consider reviewing the “Defending Faith Baptist” documentary about the Faith Baptist and Summit Church (J.D. Greear) merger? 1:37:30Elder Qualification Concern An elder at our church made a very inappropriate joke during youth camp and it was brought to the attention of the congregation. He was repentant, and the elders kept him with a probation. Should he have been removed instead? 1:48:00Female Spouse Refusing Church Attendance How would you counsel a wife who refuses to attend church with her husband over a non-essential doctrinal disagreement? 1:52:45Disrespectful Christian Parents Toward Spouse How do you respond when a Christian parent disrespects your spouse and cuts off contact after you set boundaries? 2:01:00-------------------Support the Show: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/YourcalvinistLove Coffee?

Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the Jesus as the Mashiach Nagid, the Messiah the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was written by a Jew, to Jews, about a Jew. This book of the Bible uses more Old Testament quotes than any other. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the saying of Jesus, including ten parables not found in any other Gospel. After first establishing the royal genealogy, he then goes on to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Matthew uses the term "fulfilled" 82 times! Many scholars now believe that the Gospel was written before Paul's first imprisonment of 57-60 A.D., and that virtually all of the New Testament books were written before Jerusalem's destruction. This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 11-01-2006 Recorded: 2006

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 trumpets and bowl judgments expose the deep flaw with this pretribulational interpretation. Become a monthly ministry giver:

The Olivet Discourse: An Introduction
Maybe like many you've wondered, what will the second coming of Christ look like, and when will it occur? The disciples of Christ wondered about that too, and posed a similar question to Jesus. We'll hear our Lord's enlightening answer today on a Daily Walk as we dive back into the Olivet Discourse in Matthew chapter 24.

Dr. Alan Kurschner explained that the Olivet Discourse is about the delay of Jesus's Coming, not his nearness. Many interpreters miss this main point. Further, there is the significant question of what Jesus is trying to teach with his delay of his parousia.

Concluding his Olivet Discourse, Jesus discusses the final judgment of all of humanity; and he leaves no room for ambiguity.

The Gospel of Luke
• Saul - Hebrew name • Paul - Hellenistic name (Roman citizen). Went by Paul bc Gentiles were his major focus of ministry. Paul writes from a Roman prison to Timothy in Ephesus. Paul had been in prison several times but nothing like this. Sense of ambition vs Sense of Mission - The work was more important to Paul than his life. That's the difference between selfless leaders and selfish leaders. Paul's attitude in chapter 4 is based on a heavenly hope not earthly resentment. Acts 20:17-38: Tearful farewell saying goodbye to the elders in Ephesus. They knew Paul was heading into dangerous places. II Timothy 4:6-8: But this is different. Paul knows he won't be long for this earth. His life is being poured out! Introduction: “How does it end?” That's the question I usually ask my wife when she suggests watching something together. I want to know. It doesn't ruin it for me. I want a happy ending. I'm depressed enough living in a fallen world without the help of Hollywood. God must want us to know how things are going to bc He tells us in His Word. We learn that no human lives forever on the earth. We learn that Jesus is preparing a place for us after we die. Jesus spoke about how things will end on earth with vivid details in Matthew 24 & 25 (The Olivet Discourse). And last but not least, God gave us the Book of Revelation the greatest details on how it all ends on the earth). This letter is raw and powerful. It is personal but not chummy. This letter contains 25 imperatives. Paul is commanding Timothy is many critical areas. I. There are four chapters (each has its own theme) 1. Chapter One - Fanning the flame 2. Chapter Two - Training the pastors 3. Chapter Three - Relying on Scriptures 4. Chapter Four - Finishing Well II. The II Timothy Overview Chart - 1. The Past - Timothy's heritage 2. The Present - Passing it on 3. The Future (2-fold) a. The Deception of the World b. The Devotion of the Disciples III. The Personal Opening - 1:1-5 (Authority w/ affection & affirmation) - God used Paul to prepare Timothy before his death in a similar manner that God prepared Joshua after Moses death. Every organization has as its goal passing on the leadership to the next generation. Few have accomplished this for any length of time. My father's company GM is not the giant it used to be in the automobile industry. My father-in-law's company, Sears dominated the market for over a hundred years but has since fallen on hard times. Christianity on the other hand has endured for over 2,000 years. Why? Two reasons: (1) God is the eternal CEO of His work (2) God's work is an organism rather than an organization. 1. Paul was Timothy's spiritual father and this is no “gonna miss you” letter. It's a call to courage. It's a call to leadership. It's a call to preaching in a world where antagonism was on an all-time high. The enemies of the cross expanded far beyond the JRE and now coming from the Roman Empire itself. This changed everything. Paul went from “house arrest” in his first Roman imprisonment and now he is bound in chains, cold and alone, knowing he would not survive this incarceration. = 1:1 - Paul the author speaks first with authority then with affection= 1:2a - Timothy the recipient = 1:2b - Paul ended Titus w/ “love, faith, grace” and opens II Timothy w/ “grace, mercy, & peace”= 1:3-4 - Paul opens with being thankful, prayerful, tearful, hopeful, joyful (and calls adds the title of “servant”) ● As did my ancestors/forefathers” - Paul was not the first to walk faithfully with God and he will not be the last! Many endured incredible persecution and pain. ● “with a clear conscience” - I Timothy 1; II Timothy 3:9; “remember you constantly in my prayers (couldn't stop there but instead he defines constantly) “night and day” ● “I remember your tears” - ● “I long to see you” -

Julie Hollett brings part 5 of the teaching series on the Olivet Discourse.
Today we'll jump right back into our verse by verse study through the gospel of Matthew. Summer is officially here, and there are signs we look for that tell us it is here, like warmer weather. There are also signs we should be aware of that tell us we are living in the last days before the return of Christ. Do you know what they are? Jesus tells us in Matthew twenty-four to know the signs and be prepared. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

Has this thought crossed your mind in recent years… “We're getting close to the end?” What does the Bible have to say about the time of the end? Are there signs to be looking for as that day approaches? In chapter twenty-four, Jesus gave some specific signs of His second coming and the end of the age to His disciples. He did this for some very good reasons. He wanted them to be ready, and He wanted them to know the truth, so they would not be deceived by false teachers.

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.
Dr. Alan Kurschner discussed historicism, which is the eschatological position that says the thrust of prophecy in the Olivet Discourse and Revelation was fulfilled in the span of the church age. For example, they would say that the Great Tribulation was not fulfilled in the first century, nor is it to be fulfilled in the future. Instead, it spans the entire church age (i.e., inter-advental). There are at least four reasons why Historicism is not a valid interpretation. Help the prewrath message get out there! https://www.alankurschner.com/partner/

There are two parts to the Tribulation. One bad and one really bad. Jesus explains them both in his Olivet Discourse. The Great Tribulation culminates in the great battle, the Battle of Armageddon. What should we look for, and what does this battle mean for me and you?

Dr. Alan Kurschner talked about the key issue to the structure of Matthew's Olivet Discourse: the relationship between vv. 9–14 and verse 15ff. He first talked about the disciples' questions about the sign of the parousia (second coming) and the end of the age, which opens up the discourse. Then he focused on the implications of the Greek conjunction oun (“therefore”) used in verse 15 for the overall structure, especially how it relates to the Antichrist's great tribulation. “So [oun] when you see the abomination of desolation–spoken about by Daniel the prophet—standing in the holy place (let the reader understand).” Matt 24:15 Support us monthly: https://www.alankurschner.com/partner/

Introduction to Prophecy, part 6: Jesus' Olivet Discourse closes with the exhortation to be ready and be faithful, while Paul encourages the Thessalonians with the teaching on the Rapture and his warning about the signs of the Day of the Lord.
Jesus' disciples ask Jesus about the end, "when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age." Jesus answered the first part of the question, with 11 signs of the current age: wars, rumors of wars, false Christs, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, persecution, betrayal, false prophets, lawlessness, and the gospel is preached in all the world. Then, the end will come. Matthew 24:1-18www.messagetokings.com
