The Son of Man returns. What did the early Church believe?
The Son of Man will appear in Heaven. Matthew 24:30 From the Bible, we understand that the return of Jesus and the appearance of the Son of Man in the clouds is the same event. But far too many Christians think each is a separate appearance of Jesus. It’s true that you won’t read about…

Re-Post: THE LESSON OF THE FIG TREE AND THE LAST GENERATION
The Lesson of the fig tree: Are we living in the last generation? Jesus said learn it. He said, learn the lesson of the fig tree. But all these years later, we are still very unsure about how to interpret his words. Many are adamant about their interpretation. But they have changed the length of…
Olivet Discourse: Those Three Questions–Another look.
Three questions for Jesus. Why so curious? So glad you asked: Three questions, and very important ones, were asked of Jesus. And just hours before the Lord faced trial, torture, and death.

The ten Virgins-The Parable. Did you notice the delay?
Does the Parable of the Ten Virgins teach Imminence? Matthew chapter twenty-five begins with the parable of the ten virgins.

The Faithful in Christ, Jesus said, must remain awake & alert
Jesus warned the faithful church. Be ready, and stay awake. According to the words of Jesus, the faithful believer is awake and alert for the return of Christ. If you ignore Bible prophecy and treat it as a supplemental portion of the scripture, you may fit the description of the sleepy Christian to which Jesus…
The Days of Noah. Olivet Discourse: a return to Noah’s days?
As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when Jesus returns. We don’t know what it was like in the days of Noah, but the world will get a glimpse of that history before Jesus returns. Many people might be correct when they argue that society has already reached the norms…
The day or the hour: Olivet Discourse: No Man Knows so watch
No Man knows the day or the hour Really, no one knows the day or the hour? Did Jesus mean to say that even he was unaware of the day of his return? How is that possible if he as God, knows everything? In this article, we’ll suggest a possible answer. But, when the frail flesh…
