Good morning,
This week we will study Matthew 24:1-35, the Olivet Discourse, the Great Tribulation, the Son of Man to Return in Glory, and From the Tribulation to the Millennial Reign.
Matthew 24:1-35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (35)
From the Tribulation to the Millennial Reign (32-35)
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:32–35 begins with Jesus’ instructions to learn from the example of a fig tree. When the leaves appear, people know summer is coming. In the same way, when mankind sees all these predicted signs, they should know Christ’s return is near. The generation who sees those signs will not pass way until all the predicted signs have been completed. Nothing will change this since Jesus’ words will not pass away even though heaven and earth may pass away. (https://www.bibleref.com/Matthew/24/Matthew-24-32.html)
