Matthew 24

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

2 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.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall 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 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15 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:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea 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:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

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 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  1. 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.

    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.

    The Lord is coming back soon . We look arouund in this world and can see the things in these scriptures coming to pass but as he said it has to before the coming of the Lord. We see everyday this world is getting worse all the time . We just have to remember that Jesus has already fortold what is going to happen. We just need to keep are hearts right and keep watch.

  2. He’s coming soon, He’s coming soon;
    With joy we welcome His returning;
    It may be morn, it may be night or noon—
    We know He’s coming soon.

    The signs around—in earth and air,
    Or painted on the starlit sky,
    God’s faithful witnesses—declare
    That the coming of the Savior draweth nigh.

  3. Don’t lose your focus!

    But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming 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 day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

    Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. (‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭36-39, 42‬ KJV)

    We must always be watchful and ready for His coming! If we are not careful we can get caught up in today’s events. Everything that is currently happening is all in God’s will. During this time we need to be doing what he has purposed for our life, for His kingdom and glory. Not build our kingdom and for our glory. Let us all be ready, be watchful, be working, be reaching, because we all must be saved!

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    When is the Lord coming? No man knows the day nor the hour!
    It behooves us to be ready for the Lord to return at any time. I have heard the arguments of Pre tribulation and Post tribulation as long as I have been in church which is now 45 years and counting. No one knows the day nor the hour when the son of man shall return.
    We should live like Jesus is coming today and plan like he is never returning in our life time. Have revival and great church, every time you are at church.
    Watch and pray for the Lord to reveal to you what is happening in the world around you. Watch for the false prophets and deceivers and never believe anything that cannot be proven by The Word.

  6. The birth of our eternity.

    Matthew 24:8
    ” All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.”

    The last day pains are described as labor pains. They will be such a strong persecution that no one one be saved if the lord didn’t come back. But he will!!

    These pains will be followed by a birth of a spiritual kingdom that will restore the earth. It will be us with Jesus.

    Don’t let the pains of birth keep you from new life.

  7. THE REAL STRESS TEST

    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.

    One of the most frequent practices of physicians in the health of the heart is a STRESS TEST, where they push the physical heart through exercise to points of failure to find its endurance. A similar practice will abound in the last days, as perilous times come upon us the test will not be how far can we run or walk fast; the stress test will be “HOW MUCH DO WE LOVE JESUS”.

    JESUS describes the setting here in verse 12, because sin and lawless living abounds or grows and leaps, it is imperative that we are fervently in LOVE with JESUS. JESUS said he will know our LOVE for HIM by the fervency that we keep HIS commandments.

    The witness of iniquity will TEST our LOVE of JESUS and many shall wax cold and hard because of what they witness. This is happening NOW, people that witness gross sins and hateful demonstrations will begin to question GOD. This is THE REAL STRESS TEST.

    The KEY to salvation is ENDURANCE. We MUST endure to the END. Until JESUS says it is FINISHED, with the TRUMP of the LORD and time shall be no more.

    Dont quit, don’t give up, don’t grow cold, don’t give in to sin, walk with JESUS.

    IMPACTING our Future Together

  8. 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.

    The Lord is coming soon! We must be ready!

  9. 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.
    46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
    Lord show me the path you want me to take so I can be a blessed servant. In the darkest days Lord let me be a light for you in this world!!!Give me a hunger for you!!:)

  10. 44 You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
    45 Who then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household to give to the others the food and supplies at the proper time?
    46 Blessed (happy, fortunate, and [x]to be envied) is that servant whom, when his master comes, he will find so doing.
    47 I solemnly declare to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
    48 But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, My master is delayed and is going to be gone a long time,
    49 And begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the drunken,
    50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he is not aware,
    51 And will punish him [[y]cut him up by scourging] and put him with the pretenders (hypocrites); there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. (AMP)

    Lets be ready for God keeps his promises. Let us not fall but keep fighting and pushing forward. Let’s not loose the PASSION and ENTHUSIASM for Jesus!!! For when the time and hour come let us be ready and still be doing The Lords will.

    Enter in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be who go in there (Matthew 7:13)

  11. 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.

    It’s imperative that even though sin is rampant in the world around us that we do not conform to it. God is love. We need to focus on God and live for Him, renewing our spirit in Him everyday so that our love for Him does not wax cold. It’s only through God that we can overcome and endure.

  12. Living Dead

    Matthew 24:46-50 (KJV Strong’s)
    ” 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,”

    How we live is how we will die. We cannot expect a death bed repentance and confessional.

    Jesus will one day slam on the breaks and we will be left with our decisions. He will not only judge the good, but the bad as well. No sin can be justified by doing more good than bad.

    Revelation 22:11-12 (KJV Strong’s)
    ” 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
    12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

    We are not saved by works, but we will be rewarded based on our works.

    The word work here is (Olive Tree Enhanced Strong’s Dictionary) business, employment, that which any one is occupied that which one undertakes to do, enterprise, undertaking
    any product whatever, any thing accomplished by hand, art, industry, or mindan act, deed, thing done: the idea of working is emphasised in opp. to that which is less than work

    This isn’t only referring to church but home, on the job, at school too. This is whatever we find ourselves doing.

    reward: used of the fruit naturally resulting from toils and endeavors in both senses, rewards and punishmentsof the rewards which God bestows, or will bestow, upon good deeds and endeavors of punishments.

    Can works save us? No
    Can works cause us to go to hell? Yes

    God watches very closely. We will die like we lived, so we must live the way we want to be when we die.

    Why? Jesus is the example.

    1 Timothy 2:6 (KJV Strong’s)
    ” 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”

    He lived a life of giving, loving, serving, and sacrifice. He died giving, loving, serving, and being sacrificed.

    Jesus said in John 13:15 (New Living Translation – NLT)
    ” 15 I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.”

  13. Matthew 24

    The realization of what awaits the unsaved following the rapture ought to motivate every believer to win souls before it is too late.

    v.21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

    II Thessalonians 2:3-9
    The Christian should be careful to obey the Word of God to the best of his ability.

  14. 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.

    I want to be about my fathers business so that when he comes back Im not caught slippin.

  15. iLove to eat the Word

    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.

    We know that the time of the end is near because of the signs of the times. People are putting microchips in themselves, there is war on every side, and all the laws and traditions of thousands of years past are changing. We have to be ready for the second coming of the Lord is near.

  16. 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    The last days are upon us. We are living out this prophecy even today. Signs of the time are all around us, and the end is near. AWAKE MY SOUL PREPARE THE ENTRANCE FOR HIS COMING!!!!!

  17. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. (‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭24‬ NLT)

    Those that think they are firm in the truth are the ones that are going to be weak and fall into the lies of the false prophets and the antichrist. We have to be firm in our faith and believe and trust in the word of God. And know he is the only one.

    I want to be STRONG. and have un breakable faith.

  18. Take heed !!!! 2. And Je’-sus 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. 1 Kings 9 : 7 Mic. 3 : 12 And as he sat upon the mount of Ol’-ives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Mark 13 : 3 4. And Je’-sus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Eph. 5 : 6 5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Jer.14 : 14 I AM VICTORIOUS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS !!!!! I LOVE YOU JESUS !!!!! I PRAISE YOU !!!! I LIFT YOU UP JESUS !!!!! I MAGNIFY YOU !!!! YOU REIGN !!!!!

  19. vs30
    THIS GENERATION
    The generation in view is that which is alive when the terrible events take described in Matt 24 take place. No one then living will know then when Jesus will return triumphant. But they can know it will happen within the years that will mark a normal lifespan.

  20. This chapter made me think of a song I used to sing years ago when I lived in Illinois. Redemption Draweth Nigh.

    Years of time have come and gone
    Since I first heard it told
    How Jesus would come again some day
    If back then it seemed so real
    Then I just can’t help but feel
    How much closer His coming is today.

    Signs of the times are everywhere
    And there’s a brand new feeling in the air
    Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky
    Lift up your head Redemption Draweth Nigh.

    Wars and strife on every hand
    And violence fills our land
    Still some people doubt He’ll ever come again
    But the word of God is true
    He’ll redeem His chosen few
    Don’t lose hope soon Christ Jesus will descend.

    Signs of the times are everywhere
    And there’s a brand new feeling in the air
    Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky
    Lift up your head Redemption Draweth Nigh.

    The signs are all around us. Jesus is coming. Be watchful and be ready.

  21. Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. (‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭43‬ NLT)

    You must always be ready and prepared, you never know what tomorrow may bring.

  22. “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Today is the day one must decide, where one wants to spend eternity. What a mighty God we serve! Thank God for his word! God bless America, Jerusalem, and you all, in Jesus name, Amen.

  23. God has already warned us that there will be people that Caim there the masia but there realy not,so why do we let people trick us and lie to us,why do we believe every thing we hear? We should believe nothing we hear and only half of what you see.

  24. This chapter talks about the end times. How familiar it founds to today’s society. It’s time to realize that we live there. So close to Jesus return. Be ready for that day.

  25. 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.

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

    Revelation 22:3-7 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it and his servants shall serve him. And they shall see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there, and they need no candle, neither light of the sun, for the Lord God giveth them light and they shall reign forever and ever. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets senty his angel to shew unto hsi servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold I come quickly, blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

  26. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure until the end, the same shall be saved.

  27. A chapter that can pretty much explain our times today. Like the parable spoken here, the times are upon us and we should be trash vigilant and watching that The Lord may find us doing what we are supposed to.
    Everything will pass away, but his words will not pass away

  28. The signs of the times.

    Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: (‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭32‬ KJV)

    If we take the lesson from the fig tree we see that the time of Jesus’s arrival is close. Things are happening quickly. We need to make sure that we are ready and we are watching! Summer is nigh!

  29. 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

    5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

    6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

    7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

    8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

    PLEASE PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES***** IF THIS IS NOT THE STATUS OF TODAY PLEASE CORRECT ME BUT VERSE 9 IS TODAY, isis is real, is the devil incarnated, be strong on YOUR KNEES, and DO NOT WAIT, TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION, NOW IS THE TIME.

  30. The Lord is coming. There is no doubt about it. There will be those who say the name Jesus, but they will not be one of God’s disciples. This is why it is very important to continue to watch and pray. If we stay in God’s will, we will not be deceived.

  31. Life Goes On

    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.

    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.

    Our faithfulness is established in the every day living God has given us to operate in. Kingdom living involves not just going to church but living anointed in all we do, whether it is witnessing to someone in Walmart while buying dinner, or simply folding laundry to be a good steward of what Jesus has given us. Faithfulness in this life reveals our faithfulness in the eternal.

    Luke 16:10
    He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

  32. Dont be robbed!!

    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.

    The most valuable thing that we possess is our salvation. We have to put it in a safe that no man can get into save Jesus. I will protect my salvation and be watching for the return of Jesus to take me to it. The thief is always trying to catch you slipping. He is waiting on one slip and then hes got you. Your salvation is not safe in a house with no locks or protection. We have to put on the whole armor of God and work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. I will bolt my salvation to the rock of my foundation Jesus. No man can steal it.
