Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 44 “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” What “coming” is Jesus referring to here? It is when he comes to get the last members to complete the Church for the marriage. In other words, this “coming” IS NOT in reference...

Matthew Chapter 24 As stated in our previous post Brother Shallieu’s interpretation of Verses 42-44 differs a little from that of the Pastor’s, but nothing I believe which would detract from the overall Harvest message in any way. It is important to remember that the brethren were not all given...

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 42 and 43 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.” The "master of the house" or...

Matthew Chapter 24 We return once again to Luke’s account, Verses 28-30 and 32, which parallel that of Matthew’s account. “Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it...

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 40 and 41 “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken and the other left." Whither Gathered--the Attraction Here is where we jump back to that earlier verse we skipped in our...

Matthew Chapter 24 Continuing the previous post on the things due during the day of the revelation of our Lord's presence, Jesus says: "I tell you in that night (before the day has dawned yet a part of that day) there will be two in a bed; one will be taken and the other left.” (Luke 17:34...

Matthew Chapter 24 Luke 17:31-33 continued, “In that day (the day when the Son of Man is revealed), he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot’s wife...

Matthew Chapter 24 We return to Luke’s account once again. Luke 17:26 “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Compare the “days” (plural) that Noah was present with the “day” (singular) that the Flood came and fire and brimstone. During the days...

Matthew Chapter 24 “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the presence [Greek parousia] of the Son of Man be.” (Matt 24:37) Here Jesus’ “presence” (parousia) is compared to Noah’s 120-year presence prior to the Flood. Of course Noah lived for more than 120 years prior to the flood, 600...

Matthew Chapter 24 Continued from previous post. And as it was in the days of Noah so… likewise also in the days of Lot, they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and...

Matthew Chapter 24 As in the Days of Noah, "They Knew Not" VERSE 37-39 KJV “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the presence [Greek parousia] of the Son of Man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the...

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 35 and 36 “Heaven and earth [the present ecclesiastical and social order] will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Compare this with the words of Mark (13:32, 33)...

Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 33, 34 “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (KJV) If we were to apply the “generation” being spoken of here as to either...

Matthew Chapter 24 The margin of the NKJV interprets Matt 24:33 as: So you also, when you see all these things, know that He is near—at the doors! The following are several translations who interpret it so: “In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very...

Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 34 continued “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” In order to rightly understand who or what generation is being referred to here, several questions need to be addressed. 1) In Verse 33 it says “when...

Matthew Chapter 24 We continue from our previous post. Verse 34 “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” What “generation” is being referred to here? The generation that sees “all these things” (Verse 33) In Scripture a...

Matthew Chapter 24 As taken from the Book of Matthew (Brother Frank Shallieu) Verse 32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.” The “fig tree” represents the Jewish nation, as shown by several...

Matthew Chapter 24 Proximity of the Kingdom of God VERSE 32-34 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it (the Kingdom of God--Luke 17:21) is...

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 31 continued, “And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Luke 21 shows clearly that the Church will be complete just prior to the great Time of Trouble...

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 31 continued, “And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” “And he [the Son of man] shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet.” Since a...
