A long Delay. In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus warned of such
Soon and very soon, we’re going to see the King–but first a delay. There will be a slight delay in the fulfillment of Bible prophecies. In the Olivet Discourse found in Matthew 24 and 25, Jesus gave very clear indications of a long delay before the prophecies would be fulfilled. That delay is especially clear…
Mark 13:34 Jesus will return after a long journey. But how long?
The message of The Olivet Discourse doesn’t conclude until a man returns from a long journey. So, how long is the journey, and who is the man who makes that long trip? This article continues our look at the Olivet Discourse, which was an informal teaching Jesus gave to some of his close friends. It…
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.

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…

The Lesson of the fig tree Parable. What is the lesson?
The Olivet Discourse: Learn the lesson of the fig tree. Jesus gave clear instructions to the early disciples. He said, “Learn the lesson of the fig tree.” We don’t know if Peter, James, John, or any of the earliest disciples understood what he meant. They often misunderstood his meaning when he discussed important topics. Thank the…
The generation that Jesus returns. Are we finally there yet?
The Generation when Christ returns: Is it now or later? The Generation: Are we living in it now? During the first generation, Jesus didn’t return, he arrived. Eventually, after thirty-three years, he left and said he would be back. The generation of Jesus’ first appearance was the first in which thousands of people expected him to…
After the Tribulation: Matthew 24:29-31 Son of Man appears
After the Tribulation, Jesus will return. What did Jesus mean when he used the phrase, “After the Tribulation?” This continues our study of the Olivet Discourse. A majority of Bible prophecy scholars (Especially in the centuries prior to our current one.) teach that his phrase, “after the Tribulation,” referenced the destruction of Jerusalem. A smaller number…
One Christ: Olivet Discourse Matt. 24:23-28 & only One
The Olivet Discourse: Jesus warned about a false Christ. Jesus Christ. He was and always will be the only Christ. In the biblical context, the word ‘Christ’ means the ‘Messiah’ or the ‘anointed’ one.
