Matthew 24:26-35
Jesus
Tells About His Return
Matthew
24:26 "So
if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the
wilderness,' do not go out, or, 'Behold, He is in
the inner rooms,' do not believe them.
27 "For just as the
lightning comes from the east and flashes even to
the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 "Wherever the
corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
29 "But immediately
after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE
DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND
THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of
the heavens will be shaken.
30 "And then the
sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and
then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and
they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS
OF THE SKY with power and great glory.
31 "And He will
send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY
WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds,
from one end of the sky to the other.
32 "Now learn the
parable from the fig tree: when its branch has
already become tender and puts forth its leaves,
you know that summer is near;
33 so, you too,
when you see all these things, recognize that He is
near, right at the door.
34 "Truly I say to
you, this generation will not pass away until all
these things take place.
35 "Heaven and
earth will pass away, but My words will not pass
away.
This
is the Word of the Lord ... It is meant to change
the way that we think, and the way that we
live.
Commentary
by Bob Pardue
The Second
Coming As Told By Christ in Matthew
- During my time on earth,
I have seen and heard many so-called "prophets"
proclaiming to be the Messiah but, in the end,
all failed the test.
-
- You will no doubt see the
same but Jesus says to ignore these who claim to
be Him.
-
- When Christians are being
persecuted, it is very tempting to throw away
loyalty and easier to be fooled by the false
prophets Jesus spoke of.
-
- The day of the Lord will
be obvious as stated in Mark 13:26 so we won't
need to be told that he has come.
-
- "all the tribes
of the earth will mourn"
-
The nations of the earth will
mourn on that day. The people who refused up till
now to believe in Christ as savior will now believe
but it will be too late for them.
A sad time for everyone,
including Christians who didn't tell others about
Christ.
So, although we don't know
the exact date of Jesus' return, let's try to
adjust our lives and continue to ask God for
guidance as though he were coming back
today.

Christ

If you have never made the
commitment to receive the love and life-changing
experience of Jesus Christ, please take a moment to
go
here and take the
first
steps to salvation.

Verse about Christ's Return
Matthew
24:1-25
- Jesus
Tells About His Second Coming on Mount Of
Olives
- Ever
wonder or worry about the end of time? I don't
dwell on it but yes, sometimes the thought does
cross my mind. Jesus gives His thoughts here and
tells the disciples what to look for. We should
remain watchful but not worry about the end times
as much as trying to live our lives for
Christ.
