In Mathew 24:3, the disciples asked Jesus three questions:
- "When will the temple be destroyed"?
- "What shall be the sign of Your Coming"?
- "And what will be the sign of the end of the Age"?
Christ's answers to these three questions encompassed the whole of the Gentile dispensation, the Day of the Lord, Daniel's Seventieth Week, and the Millennium. Mathew 24 incorporates the Seven Seals and the Seven Trumpets of the Book of Revelation.
Jesus answered the first question in Mathew 24:15-21the temple was destroyed by the Roman armies of Titus in AD 70.
Jesus answered the third question in Mathew 24:32-34. The Sign of the end of the dispensation (or ages), was Israel's restoration in unbelief to the Promised Land in AD 1948. These Scriptual signs of the timescertified by our Lord Jesus Christ Himselfare crucial to determining the end-time. These are signs by which we can examine our own selves, whether we are in the faith. |
