  5. Links to Rev 2 & 3 • It is interesting that Isaiah 4:1 speaks of “7 women” pleading with a man to be called by his name. • Could this also have a cryptic meaning? 7 Women: 7 churches of Rev 2 & 3? • Isaiah 4:1-6 • And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. [2] In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. [3] And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: [4] When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. [5] And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. [6] And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  6. Links to Rev 2 & 3 Compare these Seven Parables with the Seven Letters to Seven Churches in Revelation 2 and 3. Any similarity of design should not surprise us: the author of both was Jesus Christ. The Sower Ephesus: The Apostolic Church. The Tares Smyrna: The Persecuted Church. Mustard Seed Pergamos: Marriage to the World. Woman/Leaven Thyatira: The Papacy in the Medieval World. The Treasure Field Sardis: Denominationalism/Dead Orthodoxy. The Pearl Philadelphia: The Rebirth of the Missionary Church; Anticipation of His Appearing. The Dragnet Laodicea: The Apostate 20th century Church. The church of the Tribulation Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  7. Links to Rev 2 & 3 • Compare them with the seven churches to whom Paul wrote. • Ephesus: Ephesians • Smyrna: Philippians (joy through suffering) • Pergamos: Corinthians (married to the world) • Thyatira: Galatians (call out of religious externalism) • Sardis: Romans (Salvation by faith) • Philadelphia: Thessalonians (the Rapture) • Laodicea: Colossians (told to exchange letters with Laodicea) • The “fingerprints” of the Holy Spirit are over them all! • There are 7 remaining epistles in the New Testament: John (1, 2, 3), • Peter (1,2), • Jude, • James, • Titus, • Timothy (1,2), and • Philemon. • Do the themes they contain also map against the seven letters of Rev 2 & 3? Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  8. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 23. • Pay careful attention to chapter 23: A 7 fold "woe" is uttered, & a sentence of doom spoken by the Lord Jesus on the apostate nation of Israel ending with, "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate." • Matt 23:13-39 • 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. • 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. • 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! • 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. • 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. • 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. • 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, • 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. KJV • The "coming" of Christ referred to in Verse 39 is not His descent into the air to catch up the Church - the Rapture - but is His return to the earth to rescue the people of Israel. This is the key to Matthew 24:3, and indicates that everything in Matthew 24 is future and is wholly Jewish in scope. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  9. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24. • The prophetic discourse found in Matthew 24 and 25 was delivered by the Lord Jesus in private to a few of His disciples less than a week before the Crucifixion. • He had left the Temple for the last time. • His public ministry was completed. • He had announced to the leaders of the nation that, "your house is left unto you desolate," and had declared, "You shall not see Me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord." • As Christ left the Temple, accompanied by His disciples, they, no doubt, awed and puzzled by what He had just said, directed His attention to the magnificent buildings of the Temple, particularly to the massive stones of which they were constructed, saying, "Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!" (Mark 13:1 and compare John 2:20). • To which He responded, "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" (Matthew 24:2). • Then, as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, in full sight of the City and Temple, the disciples asked, "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world ?" (Matthew 24:3). Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  10. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24-Rev 4> • Fuller and further details concerning the time covered by Christ’s prophetic discourse in Matthew 24 are furnished in the Revelation, the major portion of that book treating of the same period. • At the close of this present dispensation: • Christendom is spewed out (Rev. 3), • The saints are raptured (Rev. 4:1), • the united company of the redeemed are seen in Heaven worshipping God (Rev. 4:4 11). • Following this, the Lamb as the "Lion" of the "tribe of Judah" takes "the book" (Rev. 5), and Israel at once appears on the scene and is the focus of events on earth. • As soon as the "seals" of that book are broken (Rev 6) we find those events occurring that are described by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 24.

  14. Matthew 24-25Mark 13 Luke 17 / 21 When shall these things be? What shall be the sign of Thy coming? What shall be the sign of the end of the world? Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  15. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24. • Each of the first three Gospels supply us with an inspired account of our Lord’s prophetic discourse, but it is only by diligently comparing them and noting their differences that we can discover the scope and design of each, for there is no mere repetition in Scripture. • Luke’s account differs from Matthew’s and Mark’s in two important respects—what is related and what is omitted. • Matthew’s account is based upon a threefold question, Matthew 24:3 • Luke’s is based upon a twofold question, see Luke 21:7. • It is most important that the student should carefully note the omission of any reference to Christ’s "coming" in Luke’s account. • The second main difference is connected with the time for "fleeing". • Matthew 24:15, 16 we read, "When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand), then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains." • Luke 21:20, 21 "And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains." • That part of our Lord’s prophetic discourse recorded in Luke 21 (to the middle of v. 24) was all fulfilled by the year A.D. 70. • First, Jerusalem was invested by Cestius Gallus, who was repulsed. • Later, it was attacked by Titus, the emperor’s son, who was successful. But between the two besiegements, there is good reason to believe that, all Christians "fled," and that none of them perished in Jerusalem. • Luke’s "sign" is past, Matthew’s is yet future. • It is most important to observe that in Matthew 24 no reference is made to the destruction of Jerusalem after verse 2 while, on the other hand, in Luke 21 no reference at all is made to "the abomination of desolation.’’ Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  16. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.1 • "And Jesus went out, and departed from the Temple" (v 1). • “And" denotes that what follows is a continuation, without any break, of what is recorded in the closing verses of chapter 23. • It supplies a solemn confirmation of what was there announced: • "Your house is left unto you desolate" is verified by the words "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple." • "And His disciples came to Him for to show Him the buildings of the temple. • 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" (vv. 1, 2). • This foretold the destruction of Jerusalem, or more specifically, the razing of the Temple. • It is most important to observe that this was said before the prophetic discourse of Christ’s which is recorded in Matthew 24:4 and onwards. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  17. Matt 24.3 Matthew 24-25 Mark 13 Luke 21 Luke 17 Mat 23: Jesus rips the Pharisee's / Israel Mar 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. Luk 21:6 [As for] these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: They came privately and asked Him, Tell us, [24:3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, [3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately [7] And they asked him, saying, Master, [17:21] Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. When shall these things be? [24:3] Tell us, when shall these things be? [4] Tell us, when shall these things be? [7] but when shall these things be? [17:22] And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. What shall be the sign of Thy coming [24:3] and what shall be the sign of thy coming, [4] and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? [7] and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? What shall be the sign of the end of the world? [24:3] and of the end of the world? Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  18. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.3 • "And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?" (v. 3). • This question was asked separately from "And what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?" or "age," • This 1st question, "when shall these things be?" referred specifically to the overthrow of the Temple, which implied the destruction of the City. • It is to be noted that only Luke records Christ’s answer to that question, • Luke 21:20-24 • And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. [21] Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. [22] For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. [23] But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. [24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. • This part of our Lord’s prediction Matthew was guided to omit. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  19. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.3 • "And what shall be the sign of Thy coming?" (v. 3). • So far - as far as Scripture indicates - the Lord has said nothing whatever to His disciples about His going to the Father’s house to prepare a place for His people, and of His coming again to receive them "unto Himself" - the Rapture • As far as Scripture indicates He has not yet provided any hint of His future descent into the air for the purpose of removing His saints from this earth. • When the disciples asked, "What shall be the sign of Thy coming ?" they had in mind what He had just said to the nation Israel, • "You shall not see Me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord" (Matthew 21:9) • which to them meant His coming back to the earth to re-establish the Throne of David – Israel’s pre-eminence and to rule from it. • One other thing helps to fix the meaning of this question of the disciples • No "signs" are given to or for those whose calling is a heavenly one. • How could there be, "we walk by faith, not by sight"? (2 Cor. 5:7). • God’s people today are not to be looking for "signs," but listening for a sound, namely, the "shout" of the Lord(1 Thess. 4:16) • But – If we can begin to see the signs, how close must be the shout !!! Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  20. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.3 • "And of the end of the age?" • To what "age" did the disciples refer? • Surely there can be only one answer: that associated with Christ’s "coming" to the earth itself. • Note that this question was asked by the disciples, as Jews, before the Cross, before the Christian dispensation began. • A mistake here involves an erroneous interpretation of all that follows. • If we remember that at this time the apostles had no understanding of (or, at any rate, no real belief in) Christ’s death and resurrection, it should help us to see that the Christian "age" could not have been in their minds. • They were Jews, in spirit, hopes, expectations—the very first verse of Matthew 24 (following right after Matthew 23:38) more than hints at that. • They were focused on the Temple and were confused by Jesus declaration it would be destroyed – stone by stone • It is failure at this very point which has led so many to imagine that Matthew 24 teaches that "the Church" will pass through the great Tribulation. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  21. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.3, 15 • In His answer the Lord referred the disciples to Daniel: "When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place" (v. 15). • It is interesting to note that the expressions "the end" or "time of the end" occur in Daniel just 13 times; they are found nowhere else in the Old Testament. • These refer to the unfulfilled 70th "week" of Daniel 9:24-27, which brings to a close Israel’s national servitude under Gentile domination. • The new "Age" will be introduced by the 2nd advent of the Messiah to this earth and the consequent placing of Israel at the head of the nations. • References to that "Age" are found in Hebrews 2:5, 6:5. • Thus the disciples rightly connected the "end of the age" with the "Coming" of Christ; for His return to this earth and the ending of the "Age," i.e., the "Times of the Gentiles" synchronize. • Note is that in Matthew 23:39 Christ did not connect His "coming" with the destruction of Jerusalem and the overthrow of the Temple, but with the glorious epoch of Israel’s national conversion. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  22. Matt 24.4-6 Matthew 24-25 Mark 13 Luke 21 Luke 17 When shall these things be? (destruction of the Temple - Jerusalem) Take heed that no man deceive you -Be not decieved [24:4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [5] And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: [8a] And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: Many shall come in my name [24:5] For many shall come in my name, [6] For many shall come in my name, [8b] for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ [24:5] saying, I am Christ; [6] saying, I am Christ; [8b] saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near [8b] and the time draweth near: and shall decieve many [24:5] and shall deceive many. [6] and shall deceive many. go ye not therefore after them [8b] go ye not therefore after them. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars [24:6a] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: [7a] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, [9a] But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, Be not troubled or terrified [24:6b] see that ye be not troubled: [7b] be ye not troubled: [9b] be not terrified: all these things MUST first come to pass [24:6b] for all these things must come to pass, [7b] for such things must needs be; [9b] for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet; by and by [24:6b] but the end is not yet. [7b] but the end shall not be yet. [9b] but the end is not by and by. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  23. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.4-5 • "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many" (Matthew 24:4, 5). • This was the first part of the Lord’s reply to the questions asked by His disciples. • "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four living creatures saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer" (Rev. 6:1, 2). • These words picture the Anti-christ deceiving men, posing as the true Christ — Revelation 19:11. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  24. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.4-5 • "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many" (vv. 4, 5). • The Lord was addressing His disciples as the representatives of the godly Jewish remnant of the future. • Matthew does not record Christ’s answer to their first question, that was given in Luke 21:20-24. • There is nothing at all in Matthew 24 parallel with Luke 21:20. • Nor is there anything in it which falls, directly, within the scope of the Christian dispensation. • The whole of this parenthetical dispensation is ignored, coming in as it does between the 69th and 70th "weeks" of Daniel 9. • Matthew 24: 4-14 speak of the 1st half of the 70th "week“; • Matthew 24:15-30 of its 2nd half. • Though verses 4-7 describe conditions which have occurred, more or less, throughout the Church era, they will appear in a much more intensified form during the Tribulation period. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  25. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.6-7 • "And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not troubled: for all must come to pass, but the end (i.e. of the 70th "week") is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom" (Matthew 24:6, 7). • "And when He had opened the second seal I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword" (Rev. 6:3,4). • Thus the contents of the second seal correspond exactly with the second part of Christ’s prophecy. • "And there shall be famines" (Matthew 24:7). • "And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse • (the color of famine, seeLamentations 4:85:10); • and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst, of the four living creatures say, A measure of wheat for a penny • (a day’s wage, seeMatthew 20:2) • and three measures of barley for a penny" (Rev. 6:5, 6). Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  26. Matt 24.7-8 Matthew 24-25 Mark 13 Luke 21 When shall these things be? (destruction of the Temple - Jerusalem) Nation shall rise against nation [24:7] For nation shall rise against nation, [8a] For nation shall rise against nation, [10a] Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, Kingdom against kingdom, [24:7] and kingdom against kingdom: [8a] and kingdom against kingdom: [10b] and kingdom against kingdom: Famine, [24:7] and there shall be famines, [8a] and there shall be famines [11] and famines, Pestilences, [24:7] and pestilences, [11] and pestilences; Troubles, [8a] and troubles: Fearful sights, [11] and fearful sights Great signs from heaven, [11] and great signs shall there be from heaven. Earthquakes [24:7] and earthquakes, [8a] and there shall be earthquakes [11] And great earthquakes In diverse places [24:7] in divers places. [8a] in divers places, [11] shall be in divers places, All these are the Beginning of Sorrows [24:8] All these are the beginning of sorrows. [8b] these are the beginnings of sorrows. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  27.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with Him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth" (Rev. 6:7,8). • "All these are the beginnings of sorrows" or "birth pangs" (Matthew 24:8). • These "birth pangs" are the travail which shall yet precede the birth of a regenerated Israel. • Compare: Matthew 24:8-28 with Revelation 6:9-11; and • Matthew 24:29,30 with Revelation 6:12-17.

Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  35. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.15 • The "abomination of desolation" is the image of Anti-christ (Rev. 13) which will yet be set up in the re built Temple at Jerusalem. • The reference here in Matthew 24:15 is not to the defiling of the Temple by Titus, as Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11 clearly show. • Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. • Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. • Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. • It is in "the midst of the week" that "sacrifice and oblation’’ are made to cease. • It is then that the pseudo Christ will throw off his mask and appear as an opposing Christ, demanding that Divine honors shall be paid to him alone: an Old Testament type of this is found in Daniel 3:1-7. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  36. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.15 • "When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, whoso readeth let him understand." v15 • This is the point which marks the division between the two halves of the 70th "week"compare Daniel 9:27. • These words were addressed by Christ to His apostles, but the Lord was speaking to them as Jews, as the representatives of those who shall be on earth at the time these things are fulfilled. • In Matthew 23:39: the word "Ye" was spoken to the scribes and pharisees as the representatives of the Nation both present and future, that is, of the nation as a unit. • A similar instance is found in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, "Then we which are alive." • The apostle did not say "they," but addressed those Thessalonian saints, including himself, as the representatives of all believers who shall be alive on the earth at the Lord’s coming in the air. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  37. The Confidential Briefing When ye therefore shall see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)... See Daniel 10-12 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: … Matthew 24:15-16 Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  38. Luke 17.28-30 Matthew 24-25 Mark 13 Luke 21 Luke 17 What shall be the sign of Thy coming Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. [30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  39. Matt 24.17-18 Matthew 24-25 Mark 13 Luke 21 Luke 17 What shall be the sign of Thy coming In that day, Let him that is on the housetop [24:17] Let him which is on the housetop [15] And let him that is on the housetop [31] In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house not come down into the house [24:17] not come down [15] not go down into the house, [31] let him not come down neither enter therein [15] neither enter therein, [31] to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. to take anything out of his house [24:17] to take any thing out of his house: [15] to take any thing out of his house: [31] to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. neither let him which is in the field [24:18] Neither let him which is in the field [16] And let him that is in the field [31] and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. retrun back to take his clothes [24:18] return back to take his clothes. [16] not turn back again for to take up his garment. [31] let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot's wife. [32] Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. [33] Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  40. The Flight from Judea • Matthew 24:17-20 • [17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: • [18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. • [19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! • [20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: Jewish focus – Gentiles are typically unconcerned with the Sabbath Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  41. Matt 24.19-20 Matthew 24-25 Mark 13 Luke 21 What shall be the sign of Thy coming For these be the days of vengeance [22] For these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written [22] that all things which are written may be fulfilled [22] may be fulfilled. Woe to them that are with child (in those days) [24:19] And woe unto them that are with child, [17] But woe to them that are with child, [23] But woe unto them that are with child, (Woe) to them that give suck in those days [24:19] and to them that give suck in those days! [17] and to them that give suck in those days! [23] and to them that give suck, for there shall be great distress in the land [23] for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people [23] and wrath upon this people. Pray your flight is not in winter [24:20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, [18] And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. Nor on the sabbath [24:20] neither on the sabbath day: Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  42. Matt 24.21 Matthew 24-25 Mark 13 Luke 21 What shall be the sign of Thy coming Then shall be great tribulation / affliction [24:21] For then shall be great tribulation, [19] For in those days shall be affliction, such as was never before [24:21] such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, [19] such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, or ever will be again [24:21] no, nor ever shall be. [19] neither shall be. and they shall fall by the edge of the sword [24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be lead away captive into all nations [24] and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles [24] and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, UNTIL the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled [24] until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  43. The Prophetic Scope of Matthew 24.21-22 • "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake (i.e. the sake of the godly Jewish remnant) those days shall be shortened" (Matt 24:21, 22) • The double reference to "those days," and there is a third one in verse 19, finds its interpretation in the "when you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation" of verse 15. • It was not the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus of which Christ here spoke. • His words in verse 22 are clearly parallel with Daniel 12:1, • "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book" • i.e., God’s "elect" among the Jews. • The "great tribulation" of Matthew 24:21 instead of referring to the time when Jerusalem was destroyed and Israel dispersed, speaks of that which shall immediately precede the day when they shall be "delivered." Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

  44. Matt 24.22 Matthew 24-25 Mark 13 Luke 21 What shall be the sign of Thy coming and there shall be signs in the sun, moon and stars [25] And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations [25] and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity [25] with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring [25] the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear [26] Men's hearts failing them for fear, looking after those things which are happeing to/on the earth [26] and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken [26] for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Except those days be shortenedby the Lord [24:22] And except those days should be shortened, [20] And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be survive [24:22] there should no flesh be saved: [20] no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sakewhom He (the Lord) hath chosen [24:22] but for the elect's sake [20] but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, those days shall be shortened [24:22] those days shall be shortened. [20] he hath shortened the days. Acts 17:11 1 Thes 5:21

Matt 24.23-24 Matthew 24-25 Mark 13 Luke 21 What shall be the sign of Thy coming If any man say Look, Here is Christ or Look there is Christ [24:23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; [21] And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe it / believe him not [24:23]believe it not.
