Jesus' Own Words on the End Times

[Al Touthentop]

Does this give you any idea what is coming:

Matthew 24:35: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”

Astrophysicists might tell you this solar system is not forever. This Matthew chapter 24 did not pretend to tell you what would happen in every hour of eternity.

But this passage is not an indication that the event of heaven and earth passing away is related to the events he was foretelling. It relates to the certainty of what he prophesied taking place. The statement means that the earth and heavens would pass away before his words would be untrue. He was in a sense swearing by his own creation that what he had just related would take place in their life times.

 

[Semper-Fi]

Matthew 24 is about the destruction of Israel in AD 70, not the end of the world.

First off Israel was not destroyed in AD 70.

1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

verse 1 and 2 was about the temples
destruction, that happened as foretold.

Then the location was changed,
we do not know time elapsed.
The meeting become private, and
questions about Christs return, and
of the end of the world came up.

3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives,
the disciples came unto him privately, saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be?

and what shall be the sign of thy coming,
and of the end of the world?

[the Olivet prophecy] is recorded in
Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21

John records it in the book of Revelation,
chapter 6. John discusses the seven seals
—with the emphasis on the first four, or

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
The key of David , Jesus unlocks seals.

1st seal - White Horse
False Prophets - Revelation 6:1-2
Matthew 24:3-5, Mark 13 and Luke 21

2nd Seal - Red Horse
War - Revelation 6:3-4
Matthew 24:6-7,

3rd Seal - Black Horse- Famine
Revelation 6:5-6, Matthew 24:7

4th Seal - Pale Horse- Pestilence
Revelation 6:7-8, Matthew 24:7-8

the link between the second, third and
fourth horsemen representing war,
famine and pestilence in bible
(Jeremiah 21:9; 27:13; 29:17-18;
32:24; 34:17; 38:2; 42:16-17; 44:13).

5th Seal - The Great Tribulation
Revelation 6:9-11, Matthew 24:9-10, 21

6th Seal - The Heavenly signs
Revelation 6:12-17, Matthew 24:29

7th Seal -Silence in Heaven for
half an Hour - Revelation 8:1-6,
Followed by the Seven Trumphet plagues

The 1st Trumphet starts The time
period called The Day of The Lord.

Revelation 1:10 and over 30 other prophecies
mention the terrible Day of the Lord that will
decisively conclude this age.

A one year period of Gods Wrath starts."For it
is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and [the year]
of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

"To proclaim the acceptable [year] of the Lord,
and [the day of vengeance] of our God; to comfort
all that mourn;" Isaiah 34:8 Isaiah 61:2

Other verses of the Day of the Lord included
His Return and just after, then ends time period.

1st Trumphet -Revelation 8:6-7
Hail, Fire , Blood; one 3rd trees -grass

2nd Trumphet- Revelation 8:8-9
One 3rd of sea becomes Blood

3rd Trumphet - Revelation 8:10-11
One 3rd of fresh water made bitter

4th Trumphet - Revelation 8:12
One 3rd of Light darkened

5th Trumphet - Revelation 8:13, 9:1-12
1st Woe - War Inspired by Satan

6th Trumphet - Revelation 9:13-21
2nd Woe - Army of 200 million;
one third of mankind killed

7th Trumphet - Return of Jesus Christ
3rd Woe - 1st resurrection occures;
all 7 vials begin within 24 hours.

Rev 11:15-19: 19:1-21, Matthew 24:30-31,
1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16,
Zechariah 14:3-4

the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

the “battle of that great day of God Almighty”
Revelation 16:14. The word Armageddon is a
Greek form of the Hebrew name har Megiddo.
It means “hill (or mountain) of Megiddo.”

Megiddo and the Plain of Esdraelon will
become the staging ground of Worlds Armies

Joel 3:1-2, 9-14, Revelation 14:18-20; 19:15.
Jehoshaphat means “judgment of Yahweh,”
or “judgment of the Eternal.”

The focal point of the battle is at Jehoshaphat,
also called the “valley of decision” The Valley
of Jehoshaphat, which is situated between
Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives, is known
today as the Kidron Valley.

At the third battle—the third woe and last trumpet
—all mankind will be saved from extinction only
by a miracle from God. Matthew 24:22:

“And except those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh would be saved [alive].”

Hi,

Most of what we are told to expect for the End Times comes from the Book of Revelation from what I understand, but what did Jesus HIMSELF say regarding the End Times?? (from my understanding, none of the content in the Book of Revelation actually came from Jesus...)

Thanks for any additional info!

Greetings

The book of Revelation was a sealed book with seven seals that was kept with God the Father until JESUS has ascended to the heaven, then JESUS received the sealed book from the Father and broke the seven seals and all the contents of the book was revealed, do you understand? Revelation chapter 5 confirms this testimony of mine.

Revelation 1:v.1 - 8
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel (in fact an Archangel) unto His servant John:

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Revelation 22:v.16-21
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

First off Israel was not destroyed in AD 70.

As a nation, indeed it was. J

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

verse 1 and 2 was about the temples
destruction, that happened as foretold.

Verses one and two sets up the context. When they came to him privately they asked him about the details of the very topic.

Then the location was changed,
we do not know time elapsed.
The meeting become private, and
questions about Christs return, and
of the end of the world came up.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives,
the disciples came unto him privately, saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be?

What things? The things he had just told them about the temple being destroyed.

and what shall be the sign of thy coming,
and of the end of the world?

The word used there is αινος - age. And its clear from the context he's not talking about the end of the world because he tells them that everything will happen in their lifetimes. If he was talking about the end of the world, surely it would be a nonsensical instruction to tell them to flee to the hills above Judea.

 

[Semper-Fi]

As a nation, indeed it was.

Israel fell 130 years before Judah did.
And Judah was already a vessel state
to Rome at the time of Christ.

and what shall be the sign of thy coming,
and of the end of the world?

The word used there is αινος - age.

Yes the current age [world] that is now.
We went over this about age - world thing.
At the end of this current age or world,
Christ returns and starts the age to come.

No, the current age to them when they asked Jesus the question about the age ending. Are you planning on running to the hills of Judea when this happens?

We went over this about age - world thing.
At the end of this current age or world,
Christ returns and starts the age to come.

Christ started the age to come when he was crucified. There was an overlap of about 40 years between the starting of the new age and the ending of the "last days" spoken of in old testament prophecy. Virtually every new testament author wrote that they considered themselves living in the "last days." John wrote that they knew it was the 'last hour' because the spirit of the antichrist was running rampant. (See 1 John) Regardless of the splitting up of Israel, the old Israel was destroyed in AD 70. The division was earthly and it was always God's kingdom even though they rejected his rule.

If you're going to keep Judah and Israel separate forever, then you have to wonder why Paul never mentions Judah when he says "and therefore all Israel will be saved."

He was speaking of the Church there but he didn't bother to make a distinction between Judah and Israel because Christ reconciled it all in him. Those divisions are meaningless when it comes to the gospel. Israel was always all twelve tribes. Then Christ reconciled Jews and Gentiles. We're all Israel now.

 

[YesMe]

When you read about Jesus talking in the gospels and Jesus talking in the Book of Revelation, you may notice that there are two different styles...

The words of Jesus found in the gospels reach very easily to one's hearth, it's like He is your friend and He has come to you to truly help you!

The words of Jesus found in the Book of Revelation show a very authoritative style, just like the one used in the old testament, the human part is gone.... and this is what actually makes people to come to Christ, His humanity, that He could understand and forgive those who ask for forgiveness.

Jesus said "mine hour is not yet come." Then he went on to describe the time. An hour is 3,600 units. A saros is 3,600 units and it was written as a circle. This is 10 x 360 day years. It is 3 plus 60 days short of 10 lunar years (metonic) just as Samson's wedding riddle was three days plus a bet of 30 sheets and 30 garments. 1 Samuel 13... Starts with 1 year, plus 2 years and then 7 years (days as years) for a total of 10 years. The story just so happens to include 1,000 plus 2,000 plus 600 men= 3,600. And 30,000 plus 6,000 for the 10x or tenth(hour).

Paul was in a ship with 276 souls fasting into the 14th day. He stopped the fast short...13 days of fast. The next morning was 12 units later. (13x276)+12=3,600.
"Watch"...gregorio...Gregorian Calendar new year used to be March 1st.
This march 1st is 153 days from Tishri 1.
There are many more; but if you don't know when to start your count...
