Matthew 24:

1 of 2 -JESUS described two events:

1st EVENT-DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE

1-JESUS came out from the Temple,the disciples came to Him and shew Him the stones of the Temple.

2-JESUS said unto them,See ye not all these things?verily I say unto you,There shall not be left here one stone upon another,that shall not be thrown down.

The testimony of JESUS is the Spirit of prophecy.What He said was LITERALLY fulfilled in the year 70AD,40 years after His ascension. There should never again be built another similar Temple,the den of the thieves never came to be rebuilt as it was.

Notice that concerning the destruction of the Temple,it has nothing to do with Mount Olives;

Mount Olives has to do only with the DESTRUCTION of the WORLD of Devil in the current time,from now on.

Israel was destroyed from 70 to 1948,1878 years of severe punishments and curses- Deuteronomy 28:15-68-the Temple there should never again be built another.The father of the Jews- John 8:44-will be cast down into the bottomless pit,that he should deceive the nations no more- Revelation 20:1-4.

-2ND EVENT-DESTRUCTION OF THE DEVIL's WORLD & SIGNS OF JESUS's COMING

3JESUS sat upon the mount of Olives.The disciples came unto Him privately,saying:Tell us,when shall these things be?

1-What shall be the sign of thy coming?

2-And of the END of the world?

4JESUS gave a list of signs,saying what AT FIRST will happen:

(1)Take heed that no man deceive you;

(2)For many shall come in my name,saying,I am Christ( John 5:43-48);and shall deceive many;

(3)And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars:see that ye be not troubled:for all these things must come to pass,but the END is not yet;

(4)For nation shall rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom;

(5)and there shall be famines;

(6)and pestilences;

(7)and earthquakes,in divers places;

JESUS warned:All these are the beginning of sorrows.At first,all these things must come to pass,but the END is not yet.In fact,it is a PRETRIBULATIONAL PERIOD
