&nbsp;&nbsp;














Mount of Olives&nbsp;









Jesus Teaches HIs Disciples on the Mount Olives





I.
ROUTINE HISTORY (Matthew 24:1-28)



1.1
Signs of Christ’s Return (vv 1-14)



a. Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the
Temple&nbsp;













Matthew&nbsp;
24&nbsp;Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple.
2&nbsp;And Jesus said to them,&nbsp;“Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not&nbsp;one&nbsp;stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”



b. The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age&nbsp;



3&nbsp;Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what&nbsp;will be&nbsp;the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”















Matthew 24




4&nbsp;And Jesus answered and said to them:&nbsp;“Take heed that no one deceives you.&nbsp;5&nbsp;For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.&nbsp;



















Matthew 24


6&nbsp;And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all[a]&nbsp;these things&nbsp;must come to pass, but the end is not yet.&nbsp;

7&nbsp;For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. ..."






























Matthew 24

7"... And there will be famines, pestilences,[b]&nbsp;and earthquakes in various places.&nbsp;

8&nbsp;All these&nbsp;are&nbsp;the beginning of sorrows.


9&nbsp;“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.&nbsp;
10&nbsp;And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.&nbsp;












Matthew 24

11&nbsp;Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.&nbsp;












Matthew 24

12&nbsp;And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.&nbsp;
13&nbsp;But he who endures to the end shall be saved.




















Mark 16

15&nbsp;And He said to them,&nbsp;

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16&nbsp;He who believes and is baptized will be saved;&nbsp;

but he who does not believe will be condemned.&nbsp;&nbsp;





















Matthew 24

14&nbsp;And this gospel of the kingdom
will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the
end will come.

IS KEEPING

1. Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping:

When shall earth Thy rule obey?

When shall end the night of weeping?

When shall break the promised day?

See the whitening harvest languish,

Waiting still the laborers’ toil;

Was it vain, Thy Son’s deep anguish?

Shall the strong retain the spoil?





2. Tidings, sent to every creature,

Millions yet have never heard:

Can they hear without a preacher?

Lord almighty, give the word!

Give the word! in every nation

Let the Gospel trumpet sound,

Witnessing a world’s salvation,

To the earth’s remotest bound.





3. Then the end! Thy Church completed,

All Thy chosen gathered in,

With their King in glory seated,

Satan bound, and banished sin

Gone for ever parting, weeping,

Hunger, sorrow, death, and pain;

Lo! her watch Thy Church is keeping;

Come, Lord Jesus, come to reign!
















II. THE MONSTER OF DESECRATION
(Matthew 24:15-28)

2.1 Perilous Times (vv 15-28)

a. The Great Tribulation&nbsp;







Prophet Daniel









Daniel 11:31&nbsp;And forces&nbsp;shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily&nbsp;sacrifices,&nbsp;and place&nbsp;there&nbsp;the abomination of desolation.




Daniel 12:11&nbsp;“And from the time&nbsp;that&nbsp;the daily&nbsp;sacrifice&nbsp;is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up,&nbsp;there shall be&nbsp;one thousand two hundred and ninety days.&nbsp;





















Matthew 24


15&nbsp;“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’[c]spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place”(whoever reads, let him understand),&nbsp;16&nbsp;“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.&nbsp;

17&nbsp;Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.&nbsp;

18&nbsp;And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.&nbsp;

19&nbsp;But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!&nbsp;

20&nbsp;And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.&nbsp;

21&nbsp;For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.&nbsp;

22&nbsp;And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.







2 Peter








Matthew 24


23&nbsp;“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here&nbsp;is&nbsp;the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe&nbsp;it.&nbsp;
24&nbsp;For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.&nbsp;
25&nbsp;See, I have told you beforehand.


26&nbsp;“Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out;&nbsp;or&nbsp;‘Look,&nbsp;He is&nbsp;in the inner rooms!’ do not believe&nbsp;it.














Matthew
24

27&nbsp;For
as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the
coming of the Son of Man be.&nbsp;



28&nbsp;For
wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.







III. The Arrival of the Son of Man&nbsp;

(Matthew 24:29-51)

3.1&nbsp;The Glorious Return (vv 29-51)








Matthew 24

29&nbsp;“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30&nbsp;Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.&nbsp;
31&nbsp;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.





a. The Parable of the Fig Tree








Matthew 24


32&nbsp;“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer&nbsp;is&nbsp;near.&nbsp;

33&nbsp;So you also, when you see all these things, know that it[d]&nbsp;is near—at the doors!&nbsp;

34&nbsp;Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.&nbsp;










Matthew 24




35&nbsp;Heaven and earth will pass
away,&nbsp;

but My words will by no means pass away.






b. No One Knows the Day or Hour












Matthew 24



36&nbsp;“But of that day and hour no
one knows,&nbsp;

not even the angels of heaven,[e]&nbsp;but
My Father only.&nbsp;









(Genesis 6:5; Chapter 7; Matthew 7:30;
Luke 17:26;&nbsp;

1 Peter 3:20;&nbsp;2 Peter 3:9,10...)














Genesis 6:5&nbsp;Then the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;saw that the wickedness of man&nbsp;

was&nbsp;great in the earth,&nbsp;

and&nbsp;that&nbsp;every intent of the thoughts of his heart&nbsp;

wasonly evil continually.















Matthew
24

37&nbsp;But
as the days of Noah&nbsp;were,&nbsp;so
also will the coming of the Son of Man be.&nbsp;

38&nbsp;For
as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,&nbsp;

39&nbsp;and
did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the
coming of the Son of Man be.&nbsp;

40 Then
two&nbsp;men&nbsp;will be in the
field: one will be taken and the other left.



41 Two&nbsp;women will be&nbsp;grinding at the mill:
one will be taken and the other left.&nbsp;










Matthew 24

42&nbsp;Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour[f]&nbsp;your Lord is coming.&nbsp;
43&nbsp;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.&nbsp;
44&nbsp;Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.












c. The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant&nbsp;










Matthew 24

45&nbsp;“Who then is a faithful and
wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food
in due season?

46&nbsp;Blessed&nbsp;is&nbsp;that
servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.&nbsp;








47&nbsp;Assuredly, I say to you that he
will make him ruler over all his goods.











Matthew 24

48&nbsp;But if that evil servant says
in his heart, ‘My master is delaying
his coming,’[g]&nbsp;

49&nbsp;and begins to beat&nbsp;his&nbsp;fellow
servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,&nbsp;

50 the master of that servant will
come on a day when he is not looking for&nbsp;him&nbsp;and at an hour that he is not aware of,&nbsp;










51 and will cut him in two and
appoint&nbsp;him&nbsp;his portion
with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

1.There's a
great day coming,
A great day coming,
There's a great day coming by and by;
When the saints and the sinners shall be parted right and left,
Are you ready for that day to come?





Refrain


Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready for the judgment day?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For the judgment day?





2. There's
a bright day coming,
A bright day coming,
There's a bright day coming by and by;
But its brightness shall only come to them that love the Lord,
Are you ready for that day to come? 





3. There's
a sad day coming,
A sad day coming,
There's a sad day coming by and by;
When the sinner shall hear his doom, "Depart, I know ye not,"
Are you ready for that day to come?
