65th Post Jesus Said in the Olivet Discourse - Matthew chapter 24.- My Comments.

If you look at the right side of this blog to the core verses listed, you will find many are from this chapter of Matthew. I have not commented on those verses before, because I thought they were pretty self explanatory. I printed these verses as core, because they seem to contradict all the schools of thought about End Times. I find it fascinating that people are willing to take Paul's letters to explain end times without even considering why Paul wrote those letters in the first place. They seem to forget that Paul before his conversion, was Saul. And Saul was an accomplished Old Testament Scholar. Paul did not forget what he knew about the Old Testament, what happened to him on the road to Damascus made him understand the Old Testament better. If we are going to understand the End Times, we need to consider what book we are basing our conclusions. The Bible, God's Word is the book we should be studying. God can not lie or contradict Himself. This is true. This is why the pre-trib crowd do not mention any of Jesus' Words in their laying out of their plan. What they don't tell you is that the pre-trib teaching is only 200 years old. Jesus walked the earth 2,000 years ago and this is only 200 years old. Why do people believe it? Everyone wants a get out of jail free card. Unfortunately it does not wash with what Luke 9:23. This verse does not seem to have a silver lining. I used to say that Jesus can come back at anytime, however when you look at what Jesus Himself said in Matthew chapter 5, "I did not come to do away with the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill." This says that it sorta does matter when Jesus comes back.
