Thursday 12-22-22 5th. Day Of The Weekly Cycle, Kislev 27, 5783 92nd. Fall Day

Matthew 24

The Second Coming

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Jesus Answers The When?

Parable Of The Fig Tree

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Illustration Of The Days Of Noah

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Illustration Of The Two Servants

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Jesus Predicts Judgement At His Coming 25:1-46

Parable Of The Ten Virgins 1-13, Parable Of The Talents 14-30, Judgements Of The Gentiles 31-46.

Love, Walter and Debbie

Walter, verse 32 tells us when this age ends, and the seventh age begins.

Verse 34 tells us how long the seventh age will last. It will last for an age from when the last age commences.

Now to establish when that occurs, we need to be able to understand the Ez. 47:1-12 prophecy, when the beginning is and what its duration is.

The problem we have is, "How is our present calendar related to the ancient time frames contained in the Old Testament and the year in which, without a doubt, Christ was born?"

The trick is being able to weave all of the signs over time together in a cohesive timeline which runs from the beginning to the end of the journey of mankind.

Shalom

The secret is how you convert the given time span into years, as well as accounting for the season variables, i.e. the early or late starts of both Spring and Summer. The starting point is identifying the year in which the fig tree began to bud.

Yes, I see what you are saying about when Israel became a nation?

Walter, if you are looking for signs, not every sign is recorded in the Mt. Olivett discord of Christ just before he was crucified.

The seventh Bowl Judgement played out in the 20th Century, while the sixth bowl judgement us playing out at present with the three foul frog like spirits doing signs and wonders seen all over the earth as they were broadcast on the television sets all over the earth. In third world countries, the people cheered to see the destruction that occurred in the USA.

At the end of this age, there are two prophetic events that will occur at the end of this age. The last attempt of the Little Horn to assemble "his" armies at Armageddon to destroy any structure that Israel may have built to form the basis of the rebuilding of the Temple and to destroy the nation of Israel at the end of the prescribed 2,300-year period that is spoken about in the Daniel 8 prophecy. And the end of the two generation/ages of the visitation of the iniquities of the fathers upon their children and their children's children at the end of the fourth generation/age. It is after this event that God will regather the nation of Israel to Himself.

These signs are scattered throughout the bible.

Shalom

Revelation 10:7 "but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished,
as He declared to His servants the prophets."
