The Olivet Discourse is sometimes called “The End Times According To Jesus”. In the Lord’s own words we’ll hear how the End Times unfold on Earth, from the Abomination of Desolation to the judgments following the 2nd Coming. Part one of three.

There’s a time line woven through the Olivet Discourse beginning in Matt. 24:15. It shows us exactly when events surrounding the 2nd Coming take place. In our conclusion we follow this time line to correct some major mistakes that have been made in interpreting this critical teaching.

Many scholars teach that the Olivet Discourse was written for the Church, but you say the focus is on Israel. If you’re right why does the Olivet Discourse even appear in Mark and Luke when these two Gospels are mainly Gentile in their focus? Please explain.

The Abomination of Desolation, the flight from Jerusalem, the general sequence, and clues to the possible timing of the 2nd Coming. Part 2 of our 3 part series on “The End Times According To Jesus”.

I have always wondered if Jesus made an oblique reference to the Rapture during the Olivet Discourse in Mt. 24.28 and Luke 17:37. His statement about “where the body is, there the eagles gather” appears to be a direct reply to the disciples’ question about the whereabouts of the woman grinding grain who was taken (Lk 17.35). That verse’s parallel is ordered differently in Matthew (Mt 24.41), and no interjected question is mentioned, so the connection may be less apparent in Matthew. I have never been very satisfied with other explanations of Jesus’ remark about bodies and vultures, and I would like to think He was not totally silent about the Rapture in the Olivet context, even if He left it for Paul to tell us the mystery.

With regards to end time prophecy, some theories that I have read lately suggest that specific prophecies (including the Olivet discourse) are being made to ‘fit’ with events that are happening at present and are just a matter of interpretation; they teach that the end times could still be thousands of years away. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Mark Part 12 is the first of a 2 part study on the Olivet Discourse.  Part 1 covers chapter 13 and deals with 3 questions.  When will this (destruction of the Temple) happen?  What will be the sign of your coming? What will be the sign of the End of the Age?

The conclusion of our 2 part study on the Olivet Discourse.  The focus of this session is the timing of events of the 2nd Coming, and why the parables of the Two Servants, the 10 Virgins, the Talents, and the Sheep and Goat judgment are not meant for the Church.

Part 6 of the “7 Things” Series. This Commentary on the Olivet Discourse explains the Lord’s prophecies on the Church Age, the events leading up to His return, and the actual conditions surrounding His Glorious Appearing. It also includes a clear interpretation of the three parables of Matthew 25 showing why they aren’t intended for the Church.
