 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 Prasch explains why God commands Jeremiah not to marry, mourn, or celebrate—signs that divine compassion has been withdrawn from a society that has crossed a moral point of no return.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.

Drawing from the Olivet Discourse, explore the teachings of Jesus Christ on the importance of staying spiritually awake and prepared for His return. Reflect on passages from Luke and Mark, and learn how to align your life with God's will. This program offers both instruction and inspiration for living a purposeful Christian life in anticipation of Christ's Return. *(1) Take heed - be careful, watch out, mind how you live as a Christian (Romans 13:11-14). *(2) Watch – Be diligent in your duty and ready for the Master's Return (Mark 13:34). *(3) Pray – Be prayerful as you take heed and keep watch: “Watch therefore, and pray always" (Luke 21:36). Mark 14:38: “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak (to do God's will).” Ephesians 6:18: "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints." Mark 13:33: “Take heed, watch and pray.” Mark 13:37: “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

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.

DESCRIPTION: This episode features the rebuttals from the Preterism vs. Futurism debate. The next episode will feature the cross-examination periods and closing statements. Dr. Brock D. Hollett vs. Samuel M. Frost Saturday, Sept 19, 2020 Hope Bible Church of Tampa 5706 N. Hesperides Street Tampa, Florida 33614 Thesis: The Abomination of Desolation in Matthew 24:15 […] The post Preterism vs. Futurism Debate on the Abomination of Desolation in the Olivet Discourse appeared first on Bible Prophecy Answers.

The Olivet Discourse closes with a final warning about the soon return of Jesus.

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.

12-21-25 Olivet Discourse Pt 7: Matthew 25:31-46 by Woodlawn Baptist Church

What do you think of when someone says "the end of the world"? Jesus wants us to think—redemption. In this Advent sermon, we open to Jesus' Olivet Discourse, where He teaches us how to read the signs of His coming and to respond, not with a sense of doom, but great confidence.

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.

The Second coming of Jesus Christ is the future event that all Christians long for. Apart from this drastic occasion, the Christian can never be truly satisfied to the fullest. We are blessed. We are empowered. We enjoy the gift of life and all that it contains. Yet, we are not perfectly content until the moment arrives when we see our King. This is the blessed hope of the Christian life, and it will not be denied us. Having said that, before Jesus returns, things will become very dark on planet earth. In this next section of the Olivet Discourse, Jesus prophesies some very dark storms which must arise before He returns. These events will shake the planet in ways that Jesus declared would be the worst days humanity has ever experienced. Why is it important that we understand these things? So we may be prepared in heart, mind, spirit and soul for them when they occur. Be sobered as we learn about the coming storms and how to be ready for them.

11-16-25 Olivet Discourse Pt 3 - Matthew 24:29-35 by Woodlawn Baptist Church

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.

This is second part in a series on Eschatology. It was presented at First Christian Church on Nov. 17, 2025. In this lecture we will begin our walk through the Olivet Discourse. Note: the recording began about ten minutes after the start of the class. Main Text: Matthew 24

Send us a textWhat happens when two Christians from different theological backgrounds sit down to discuss the topics most churches avoid? In this engaging conversation, Cass welcomes Matt from Post-PostModern Theology for a deep dive into philosophy, apologetics, and the cultural forces shaping modern Christianity.Matt shares his journey from skeptical Greek Orthodox roots to apologetics, explaining how postmodernism has become the "cannibalistic" worldview eating itself alive—from transgender ideology contradicting feminism to Richard Dawkins becoming a "cultural Christian." But the conversation goes beyond cultural critique. Discover why Christians struggle to share their faith (hint: it's about counting the cost), how to have controversial conversations with grace, and why every single person—atheist or believer—lives by faith. Matt breaks down complex philosophical concepts like epistemology and presuppositional apologetics into practical wisdom for defending your beliefs.The discussion takes controversial turns: Is Christian Zionism hurting the church? What did Jesus really mean in the Olivet Discourse? Why isn't communion mentioned in John's Last Supper account? Should Christians observe the Sabbath?Throughout, both hosts model what they preach: respectful disagreement, intellectual humility, and a commitment to testing everything against Scripture. Whether you're reformed, Pentecostal, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge you to examine what you believe and why.Key Topics:Postmodernism's impact on church and cultureApologetics methods (evidential vs presuppositional)Israel, eschatology, and end times theologyThe problem of Christian echo chambersWhy the laws of logic prove immaterial reality existsCommunion, Sabbath, and denominational differencesPerfect for: Christians seeking intellectual depth, anyone interested in apologetics, and believers ready to step outside their theological comfort zone.Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.

What is the symbolic meaning of the seven-sealed scroll in the book of Revelation? Dr. Kurschner first described three common interpretations. Then he explicated his new view, which is the most plausible, called a certificate of debenture (i.e. debt). The nature of the first four seals, fifth seal, and the sixth seal support this interpretation, which also gives additional support for the prewrath position in the book of Revelation. The seals on the scroll are not God's wrath. Rather, the seals symbolize the accumulating debt of judgment that the wicked deserve and eventually will have to pay up when the scroll is opened, unleashing the trumpet and bowl judgments of the day of the Lord's wrath.   CLICK HERE FOR NEW FACEBOOK PAGE CLICK HERE FOR NEW INSTAGRAM PAGE CLICK HERE FOR OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL   Links mentioned in the program: https://www.alankurschner.com/partner/     KEWORDS: End times, Eschatology, Jesus, Great Tribulation, Rapture, Second Coming, Book of Revelation, Bible prophecy, Christian eschatology, second coming of Christ, Antichrist, Book of Daniel, Olivet Discourse, Paul's Thessalonians, pre-wrath, the Apocalypse, Apocalypticism, parousia, apostasy, the church, Israel, replacement theology, prewrath rapture, pretribulationism, dispensationalism, premillennialism, amillennialism, postmillennialism, Preterism, futurism, God's wrath, trumpets, bowls, seals, angels, Armageddon, new Jerusalem, birth pangs, abomination of desolation, Babylon, Amir Tsarfati, temple, Jews, tribulation period, 70th week of Daniel, seventieth, sixth seal, seventh seal

The Olivet Discourse teaches that during the Great Tribulation, believers face persecution, yet salvation comes through faith in Christ, not endurance. Eternal life begins when Christ enters the heart. Those who endure tribulation may be spared physical death, but their eternal salvation rests solely on God's promise, not performance.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 63 Gary continues his discussion of Matthew 23-25 with Darren Doane. The two discussed what is known as Jesus' Olivet Discourse a few years back, and this conversation picks up where they left off, continuing through Matthew 25. Many commentators see a break in the events of Matthew 24, with part of it being fulfilled in the first century and the rest being fulfilled in our future. Is this valid? This is only an excerpt from Part 4 of the series. All four parts of the discussion can be found here:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDoYkcngzFPgguXQ0r03fo-k5xRbeqL1v
