MY THOUGHTS ON MATTHEW TWENTY-FOUR

THE QUESTION FROM THE LORD'S JEWISH DISCIPLES: 
WHAT SIGN WILL SIGNAL YOUR RETURN?

Matthew 24:3 - And as Jesus sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us...what shall be the sign of Thy coming...? 

   MY THOUGHTS ON THE LORD'S ANSWER:  MATTHEW 24:4-31
THE TRIBULATION IS THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE;
THE CHURCH WILL BE IN HEAVEN!

The First Half of the Tribulation:  Israel thinks the Antichrist is their Messiah!
[4]  Take heed that no man deceive you. 
[5]  For many deceivers will come claiming to be Me. 
[6]  Israel shall hear of wars and rumors of wars but not experience them. 
[7]  There shall be wars, famines, disease, and earthquakes, but not in Israel.
[8]  All these are the beginning of sorrows.  
[9]  The Jews will persecute believers in their synagogues (see Mk. 13:9; Lk. 21:12).
[10]  And then shall many betray one another, and shall hate one another.
[11]  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[12]  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13]  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
[14]  The Gospel will be preached worldwide by My two witnesses (Rev. 11:3-12), and then shall the end come.

The Middle of the Tribulation:  Israel's Eyes Opened (Rom. 11:25-26)!
[15]  When you see the Antichrist declare himself god in the Temple (Dan. 9:27),
[16]  Then Israel shall flee into the mountains:
[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.

The Second Half of the Tribulation:  Israel Protected (Rev. 12:6)!
[21] For then shall be the greatest tribulation ever! 
[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:  but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
[23]  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
[24]  False Christs and false prophets shall show great signs and wonders; do not be deceived!
[25]  I have warned you.
[26]  If they tell you I am at a specific location, do not believe them!

Christ's Second Coming Ends the Tribulation (Rev. 19:11-21)!
[27]  For as lightning is seen from horizon to horizon, so will My return be!
[28]  You will know where I am by seeing the vultures circling the dead (Rev. 19:17-18)!  
[29]  Immediately after the tribulation, the sun and the moon will be darkened, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
[30]  And then I will return from heaven, and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, when they shall see Me coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[31]  And He shall send His angels to gather His elect from one end of heaven to the other!

IF YOU ARE STILL HERE WHEN THE ANTICHRIST
CONFIRMS THE SEVEN-YEAR COVENANT WITH THE NATIONS,
YOU HAVE MISSED THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH
(Jn. 14:1-3; 1 Cor. 15:50-54; 1 Th. 1:10; 4:13-18; 5:9; Rev. 4:1)! 
TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST TODAY WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME!
