The End Signs (Matthew 24:1-31)
The Bible is full of prophecy, it predicts the end of the age, and tells us of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Well, if that is so wouldn’t it be helpful if it would also tell if there was a way we would know how all of that is approaching, are there signs of the end of the age. Well, it’s rather interesting that you would think that because none other than the disciples of Jesus Christ asked that very question and Jesus answered them. As a matter of fact, he took that opportunity to not only answer their question but to expand the discussion into a whole lengthy sermon on not only those event but on prophecy itself, and he did that on a place called The Mount of Olives. This is why this passage is commonly referred to as the Olivet Discourse’, and it recorded for us and Matthew chapter 24 and across into Matthew chapter 25.
Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” (Matthew 24: 1-4)

All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. and then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 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. (Matthew 24: 5-14)
The Great Tribulation
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, su
