The apostles asked Jesus what the "sign of His coming and the end of the age" would be. His answer to them is in chapter 24. First will be the beginning of sorrows (vs. 5-8) leading up to Daniel's 70th week (the 7 year tribulation period). Then there will be tribulation (vs. 9-14). Verse 15 depicts the middle of the tribulation period (3 1/2 years into it), when the Jews will recognize the Antichrist, and flee into the wilderness. Christ goes on to explain that the last 3 1/2 years will be such "great tribulation... as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time". Then states that at the end of the period of tribulation (v. 29), the sign of his coming will appear (v. 30) and the rapture will take place (v.31). Verses 32-35. Jesus explains that the people alive when these things begin to happen, will see them unfolding, and recognize that He will be returning soon. Verses 36-44, Here Jesus explains that no one knows exactly when that day will occur, except for the Father in heaven. People will generally will be doing all the normal things just as they did up to the time of the great Flood. We're warned to be ready at all times. Verses 45-51. He's telling us to behave as a Christian... in season and out, or He will leave us behind when He comes for His own. The tribulation period and Christ's return is told in more detail in Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Revelation (along with others mentioned by Steve and CDBJ). |
