In Matthew 10:11–23, Jesus sends His disciples on a mission specifically to Israel. This mission comes after the religious leaders rejected Him, and the Kingdom's offer was being postponed. At this stage, the mission does not include the Gentiles. Instead, it focuses on the "lost sheep of the house of Israel." The purpose of this mission was to identify, gather, strengthen, and prepare the believing Jewish remnant who recognized Jesus as Messiah. Jesus tells the disciples to continue proclaiming that "the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand," but the nature of the Kingdom program begins to shift. With Israel's national rejection, Jesus begins introducing what Scripture later calls the Mystery Kingdom—the present spiritual phase of the Kingdom, while the physical Messianic Kingdom is delayed. This mission comes before the Great Commission and reflects the biblical pattern of evangelism: "to the Jew first and also to the Gentile." But the mission to Israel does not end with the disciples. In this passage, Jesus gives prophecies that clearly extend far beyond their lifetime, including persecution before councils, testimony before governors and kings, family betrayal, and global hatred toward His followers. Most importantly, Jesus makes a remarkable statement: "You will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes." This shows that the mission to Israel continues through to the Second Coming. Matthew 10 connects directly with the themes later expanded in the Olivet Discourse. The proclamation of the Kingdom continues among the Jewish people until Messiah returns. This passage also exposes the fatal flaw in Replacement Theology. If God were finished with Isr

In this message, we move into the New Testament to explore one of the most important end-times passages in all of Scripture: Matthew 24 and the Olivet Discourse. Jesus' teaching on the Mount of Olives is central to understanding biblical prophecy, the timing of the end of the age, and the events that lead up to His glorious return. This session highlights the significance of Daniel's prophecy, especially Daniel chapter 9, and shows how Jesus directly connects Daniel's words to the future.

Send a textSeven Days That Changed The World Signs Of The Times | Part 3Senior Pastor Keith StewartMarch 8, 2026 With everything that's happening in the Middle East right now, we're getting a lot of questions about end times prophecy. People are concerned is this the beginning of the end? Maybe it's coincidence or God's design, but day three of the seven days that changed the world is centered around the Olivet Discourse. This is the second longest sermon of Jesus and it's the most extensive teaching He does around prophecy. If there's ever been a time when we need to sit at the feet of Jesus to learn, it's now. Christ speaks clearly about things that are coming but also clarifies what He wants us to do. Discussion Questions Warm-up When you hear “end times” teaching, what emotions tend to surface for you (curiosity, fear, skepticism, urgency, confusion)? Why? Scripture understanding Read Mark 13:1–4. What prompts Jesus' teaching, and what does that tell you about what the disciples valued versus what Jesus wanted them to see?The message used the “now and not yet” (bifocal) framework. Where do you see “near” and “far” elements in Mark 13? What difference does this make in how you read the passage? Read Mark 13:7–8 and Mark 13:32. What do these verses correct in us when we're tempted toward speculation or anxiety? Discernment and discipleship The sermon argued that prophecy is best understood through Scripture and history—not by scanning today's headlines. What are some modern “headline-driven” habits Christians can fall into? How can we practice healthier discernment? Discuss this line: “Christian discipleship is a call to persevering gospel-centered faithfulness, not fascination with end-times speculation.” What would it look like to live that out practically this week? Mission and application Read Matthew 24:14. According to Jesus, what is the church's responsibility “in the in-between time”? How does that shift your view of the future? The message said: “When the world runs out of hope, that's when Christians run in.” Where is God inviting our group (or our church) to “run in” right now—locally or globally? In suffering, people often ask: “Where is God?” The sermon suggested a different set of questions (“Where's the opportunity? Who can I help?”). Which of those questions do you most need to practice, and what is one concrete action step? Prayer focus Spend time praying in three directions:Upward: expectancy and trust in Christ's returnInward: perseverance, alertness, and freedom from fearOutward: boldness and compassion to share the gospel and serve others

God has not run out of mercy — not for you, not today.Thursday, March 5 — Matthew 24.Today's reading drops us into Jesus' Olivet Discourse—one of His two full “bookend” sermons in Matthew. If the Sermon on the Mount teaches us how to live faithfully under the King, Matthew 24 teaches us how to live faithfully until the King returns.This episode isn't about feeding end-times curiosity—it's Jesus shepherding His people through turbulent days. You'll hear a clear warning: the first danger isn't war… it's deception. Don't be tricked. Don't be alarmed. Don't let your love grow cold. And don't anchor your faith in what you can see—monuments can fall, but His presence remains.We land where Jesus lands: read the signs, but live ready. Nobody knows the day or hour, so the call isn't to build a timeline—it's to build a life of faithfulness.Because prophecy isn't for fear… it's for purity.

In this episode we take a break from our study of the book of John and talk about the benefits of studying eschatology (the study of last things), and particularly the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21). I talk about this subject in connection to my book, Signs of the End: What Jesus Taught His Disciples in the Olivet Discourse, and take you on a tour of the different sections of the discourse, talking about the challenges faced in the text and a preview of how they are addressed (which involves reading some excerpts from my book). I also take some time to talk about my own journey in studying the end times and how I came  to write the book.   Order a copy of my book: Signs of the End: What Jesus Taught His Disciples in the Olivet Discourse Amazon: https://a.co/d/0592Fozu   Please be sure to leave a review!   Music: http://www.purple-planet.com   Reunited Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http:creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0

BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER https://www.alankurschner.com/partner/ Prewrath Rapture: An Overview, Part 1 of 2 (Roger Best)  • Prewrath Rapture: An Overview, Part 1 of 2…   GET OUR BOOKS: https://amzn.to/43pbG6b GET OUR EMAIL UPDATES: http://eepurl.com/bCU7qT SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST:  / @bibleprophecyanswers   GO TO OUR WEBSITE: https://www.BibleProphecyAnswers.com/ In this teaching, Roger Best continues his overview of end time events and focuses on one key question: When does the rapture take place in the sequence of end-times prophecy? Rather than date-setting, he lays out a clear biblical timeline using foundational passages such as Daniel 9, Matthew 24 (the Olivet Discourse), 1–2 Thessalonians, and Revelation 6–16. How to Study Bible Prophecy (Without Confusion) Roger begins with essential principles of interpretation: take Scripture in its natural sense, interpret verses in context, let Scripture interpret Scripture, recognize there are no contradictions, and watch for “near” and “far” fulfillments. This sets the stage for understanding prophetic passages without forcing current events into texts that are not about the last days. Daniel's 70th Week and Why Israel Matters A major foundation is Daniel 9:24–27, where Roger explains the 70 “weeks” (490 years) and argues the final seven-year period—often called Daniel's 70th Week—is still future. He connects the coming covenant, its midpoint betrayal, and Israel's central role in end-times events, highlighting that God's promise of “everlasting righteousness” has not yet been fulfilled. Key Topics Covered • The five big end-times issues Daniel's 70th Week, rapture timing, Israel's salvation, God reclaiming world rule, and Armageddon. • Why Matthew 24 applies to believers Roger explains why the Olivet Discourse is not “only for Israel,” and why Jesus' warnings about deception, persecution, and endurance matter for the church. Matthew 24 + Revelation 6: Matching the Sequence Roger then compares Matthew 24 with the seal judgments of Revelation 6, showing parallel themes: false christs, wars, famines, death, martyrdom, and escalating global pressure. He argues these are “birth pains” that intensify toward the midpoint and beyond. Prewrath Rapture: After Tribulation Is Cut Short, Before God's Wrath A central claim is that the “great tribulation” (severe persecution) is cut short for the sake of the elect, followed by cosmic signs (darkened sun/moon) and then the gathering of believers. He distinguishes Satan's wrath (persecution through Antichrist) from God's wrath / the Day of the Lord (trumpets and bowls), which he places after the rapture. What You'll Walk Away With By the end of this message you'll have a big-picture roadmap: how Daniel's 70th Week unfolds, why the seals precede the trumpets and bowls, how Israel's future salvation fits in, and why this study should produce watchfulness, holy living, and confidence in Christ's victory.

We have to be focused on advancing the gospel even as we discuss end time details that are important.

Matthew 24:29–35 is one of the most challenging sections of the Olivet Discourse, describing cosmic upheaval and “the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” How should we understand this language? Is Jesus speaking of events already fulfilled, or of realities still to come? In this sermon, we examine these questions and why Jesus' words still matter for the church today.This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

Mark 13 serves as the culmination of everything Jesus said and did in the Temple during chapters 11-12. After exposing the corruption within the Temple's system and leadership in the previous two chapters, Jesus concluded His public ministry by warning the people about the hypocritical scribes who devour widows' houses. As chapter 13 begins, Jesus leaves Jerusalem and predicts the Temple's complete destruction—an event that would happen within forty years during the Roman-Jewish War (66 to 70 AD). This passage, known as the Olivet Discourse and paralleled in Matthew and Luke, forecasts Jerusalem's fall and offers a glimpse of Christ's second coming in glory. However, where Jesus is speaking specifically about the Temple's destruction and the end of history has been a subject of interpretive debate among scholars. We will address a small part of this, but it is important to remember that biblical prophecy—while fascinating and evidence of the Bible's divine inspiration—is not primarily intended to create timelines or uncover secret insights. Like all Scripture, prophecy is given to instruct, reprove, correct, and train us in righteousness for today. The disciples ask for a sign, and Jesus does not give them one until verse 14. The main point Jesus first emphasizes is not satisfying their curiosity with a detailed map of the future but teaching them (and us) how to live faithfully no matter what—being watchful against deception, not panicking amid the world's turmoil, relying on the Spirit during persecution, and enduring to the end, whether the end comes today or a thousand years from now.

 In this extended exposition of Jeremiah 16, Jacob Prasch interprets the prophet's warnings as both an immediate judgment on Judah and a far-reaching foreshadowing of the last days, closely linking the chapter to Jesus' Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation. Prasch explains why God commands Jeremiah not to marry, mourn, or celebrate—signs that divine compassion has been withdrawn from a society that has crossed a moral point of no return. He traces recurring biblical patterns of famine, judgment, false prophecy, and idolatry from the Babylonian captivity to 70 AD, and ultimately to the rise of Babylon the Great, emphasizing that understanding prophecy requires understanding history. Addressing modern apostasy, false religion, moral collapse, and the abandonment of biblical truth, he contrasts counterfeit “words” from false prophets with the true Word of God. Yet amid judgment, Prasch highlights God's enduring covenant promises to Israel, the future regathering of the Jewish people, and the certainty that the nations will one day recognize the futility of their idols. The teaching closes with a sober reminder: when God makes Himself known in judgment, every false system will be exposed, and all will know that Yahweh alone is Lord. 

As Jesus continues what is known as the Olivet Discourse, He gives a clear and unmistakable sign of what is to come: "the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place..."However, what would have been clear for Jesus' original hearer is less clear to us today. In this sermon, we examine what is meant by this phrase and how it relates to the book of Daniel.This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

Sharon Doran studies Mark chapter 13 (the Olivet Discourse), tracing Jesus' final teachings from the triumphal entry through Bethany and Bethphage, the raising of Lazarus, the cursed fig tree, and the corruption of the temple leadership. She explains how these events lead into Jesus' prophecy of the temple's destruction and the signs of suffering — false messiahs, wars, earthquakes, and famines — calling listeners to watchfulness and faith.

Earthquakes. Wars. Deception. Division. Are these just global events—or signs of something greater? In this message from Pastor Jeff Schreve, you'll discover what Jesus taught in the Olivet Discourse about the “birth pains” that point to His soon return, and how believers can be ready for that glorious day.

Dr. John Neufeld begins a series on Christ's return by examining the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24. When the disciples ask Jesus about the temple's destruction and the end of the age, He warns them of "birth pangs" - signs that will continue throughout history but don't signal the immediate end: false messiahs, wars, persecution, and apostasy. Rather than predicting timelines, Jesus calls believers to endure faithfully until the gospel reaches all nations.The Best Is Ahead: Looking ahead, some of us are fearful. But for the believers who have put their confidence fully in Christ, we know with certainty that our best days are not behind us and certainly our best days are not the ones we are living now. Our best days lie in the future, when Christ will return to gather his elect. Join Dr. Neufeld for this 5 message series in the study of Matthew 24. 

In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus tells His disciples that “the one who endures to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24:13). What does Jesus mean by this? How should we understand endurance in light of the Bible's clear teaching that those who belong to Christ cannot lose their salvation?In this sermon on Matthew 24:8–13, we examine these important questions by looking closely at the context of Jesus' words and the relationship between endurance and the assurance.This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

This is the 3rd session on Eschatology. It was presented on Nov. 24, 2025 at First Christian Church in Somerset, PA.

As Jesus leaves the temple, He prophesies its complete destruction, sparking the disciples' questions about the end of the age. Jesus responds with the Olivet Discourse, a dense prophecy of "birth pains": false messiahs, wars, famines, and the "abomination of desolation." He warns of intense persecution but promises that "the one who endures to the end will be saved" and that the Gospel will be preached to all nations before the end comes.  The Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church, Jamestown, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 24:1-35.  To learn more about Concordia Lutheran, visit concordiajt.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
