THE OLIVET DISCOURSE. Matt. 24, 25

Key: SCHAFF: “When the Lord open his mouth, we should open our ears and hearts”

WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE? WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGNS OF THY COMING AND THE END OF THE WORLD? Matt. 24:3-13, Mk. 13:3-13, Lk. 21:7-19, 20-24…2 

THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM Matt. 24:14

The persecution without, false teachings within the church and multiplication of sin will make love of many to wax cold. The powerful nations of the world are making homosexual, marijuana and other sinful vices legal, Germany had just signed the law which declare that there is no more incest. The city of Miami is now proclaiming a city of public sex, Canada allows bestiality (sex with animals), and in Spain pornographic films are allowed in high schools and universities. The gospel of Christ will however be waxing stronger everywhere in the world, to prepare the Church for the rapture of the Saints.

  1. Matt. 24:14. “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world…” This is the gospel that was preached to the Jews by Jesus and the Apostles in his earthly ministry in Judea and Galilee. Mk. 1:14. This is good news that purposes to set up on earth, in fulfilment of the Davidic Covenant, a kingdom, political, spiritual, Israelites, universal, over which God’s Son, David’s heir, shall be King, and which shall be, for one thousand years, the manifestation of the righteousness of God in human affairs Lk. 1:32-33, 69-75.
  2. It began with the ministry of John, continued with that of our Lord Jesus Christ and his disciples in Judea and Galilee Lk. 1:76-77, Mk. 1:3-5, 14, Act. 1:6, ending with the Jewish rejection of the King. Jn. 18:33-37; 19:1-3, 15, Mk. 15:9-17.
  3. This is the future aspect of the gospel of the kingdom Matt. 24:14, which will be preached during the great tribulation, and immediately preceding the coming of the King in glory. The preachers will be the remnant, Jehovah witness,, Is. 1:9; 43:10, Rom. 11:5, Rev. 7:2-8; 14:1-5. This is different from:
  4. The Gospel of the grace of God. Act. 20:24, 1Cor. 15:3-5 This is the good news that Jesus Christ the rejected King, has died for our sins Gal. 1:4, and was buried, and was raised from the dead all according the scriptures, took His blood to the holy of holies in heaven, seated in heaven at the right hand of God and He is coming back.
  5. This is the gospel of the salvation of our soul 1pet. 1:9-12 from sin, from curse, he justifies the ungodly who believes. He is our righteousness, he abolished death and brought immortality in to light. This is to bring many sons to glory He. 2:9-10.
  6. The everlasting Gospel which is also in the future, will be preached by Angels Rev. 14:6-7, and its burden is judgment, not salvation.
