Matthew Chapter 24 Discussion Page 5

Bill Morrison on Matthew 24:

Elaborate on Mat. 24:34. What is mean by the word generation? If it were a generation as we know it all this has already happened. After all Jesus was speaking to the disciples during their generation.

You are replying to a comment by "Bill Morrison"

Yes his 12 apostles were asking about the future of Jerusalem ( Matthew 24). Jesus

prophesied against his generation of priest, Pharisees, and Jews who were trying to kill him.

or seeking a opportunity to.

However, although Jerusalem was destroyed by the romans in 70 c.e. (just as Jesus foretold.)

Revelation 18 proves that there is yet another great city called Babylon the great that will

be destroyed because of all the things that this city carried out. who is living in shameful luxury and sexual immorality with the kings of the earth etc. merchants also living in luxury due to this great city Babylon the great who has the mark 666.



Revelation 1:1-3

Hope this answers your question.

The wise men of old were diligent to pack up and travel as they did, to see Jesus at his first coming. Contrasting their zeal with Christians today, are we as eager to respond to biblical signs of our Lord's very different second coming event? In his last moments, Jesus pondered this out loud. He asked if he would find faith in anyone: "when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" Lk. 18:8. The question was not meant to provoke a brash response, "Of course, I'll have faith!" No instead, we should humbly ask, why does Jesus sound doubtful; why does he vocalize such a question, whether faith would exist in anyone on earth when he returns?

Does the bible clarify why faith will become difficult? First, the bible warns, major lies will sweep masses of people in wrong directions. We are told, faith in God will become somehow counter-cultural, even splitting up families. The bible's warns of a fundamental global change. Physical money will become useless. Imagine if you cannot buy food for your family. Financial exchange will continue everywhere, but soon only digitally. Maybe a public promotion kicks off virtual cash with a large gift of digital currency to each person who joins the system. "Just take the mark". If your family hasn't eaten in weeks, would you take it? Talk about stress, would another of your family members, to stop the suffering hunger? Read Revelation 14:9, it speaks of eternal torment for everyone who takes the mark of the beast. Pressure against believers will be so intense that many Christians the bible says, will turn and take the damning mark. Their decision will be to their own destruction forever

We know of 3 , A 40 year , 70 year , an 120 years ,.. other than that,.. ??? It's our lords decisions ,.. this one , the " Generation of the fig tree " Started in the year of our lord 1948 ,.. an the 6th trumpet, 6th seal , an 6th vile , is next , when , ???? Welp that's totally up to our Father,.. we are to Watch,.. then act accordingly

Thankyou for your post , it was fascinating to me , I am a very grounded and practical person , not much given to flights of fancy , however I definitely do not believe in coincidences , good ones or bad ones . Stay strong and be brave , if you belong to Jesus then nothing can touch you .

They do like to get us sleep deprived. They'd pin me and hold my eyelids shut; mouth. But you know what? We can scream Jesus's Name (mind) and the Lord will banish them. They levitated my bed with me in it.

A friend in my guest room felt something huge sit on the edge of his bed. He sat up but didn't see anything.

Once I learned that we can Ask God for angelic protection, I stopped being fearful. Jesus provides everything we need at any moment.

We are kings and priests; even women. All believers can walk in unmolested freedom. I spread out nets of protection over people beat down from spiritual warfare. Why? Because I knew God loves them and wants them saved and living in victory over all enemies.

Just have to obey Ephesians 6. "They are invisible". They hate the God that lives within us.

When I was going through this, the Holy Spirit got me out of bed (pneumonia) and took me to a Christian bookstore. I kinda argued because I had to buy milk for my kid and a teenager kicked out of her house. He took me to a sale table and I bought a book called 'Angels' by Charles Capps. I read it that same day. I knew I was being tormented. I prayed for angels to hang out at my house and assist me till I was well. I have never been troubled since that time. I could fill a book.

Those doing street ministry need to ask God to send angels to assist and protect. They like Gospel music, so fill your house with praise. If the teenagers are runnin with the crowd, PRAY for them. Get the demons gone and pray for God to hang with those kids. You will see little miracles every day. Always give thanks to God for His Mercy and Grace. Always.

I was doing "War Room" in my closet floor before it was a movie. All kinds of churches need to revive intercessory prayer. "Thy will be done"

If you have to get loud, go sit in the car.

Check your house top to bottom for cursed objects. Demons accuse us for that. But don't be hyper. Discern the spirits. 1 Cor. 12

Mishael,

Thank you, I agree without the word of God being our weapons, we can not stand up to the evil on this earth. Many to most people never encounter these evil beings, I did for over two years. When it started, I had read parts of the Bible but I was in no way prepared for things at that time I did not even believe were real.

I know demons do not have a body and are on this earth until judgment and my wife and I dealt with them. Many things happened during that time. I will tell you of the one instance of this being that visited me in my bed while I was asleep. I was awakened when it laid on top of me, it was a light night and light was coming in through the window.

He put a cloth over my face that looked like burlap because I could see through it. His hand covered my entire head and he was smothering me. His body was massive just his upper body was over me and the bed and it did not feel human.

I kept wrestling and turned my head enough to free my mouth and said one word, Jesus, and it was like this being was snatched straight up and was gone. It may not have been a physical body but it was solid because my hands were clutching its hand and arm trying to get free. I had to change my clothing because I was drenched with sweat and I did not go back to sleep. God can get our attention in many different ways.

Thank you for being on this site and for the guidance and encouragement you bring.

God bless,

RLW

Thank Jesus Christ for your Kingdom! And thank you Mishael!

On the way to his house he starts hissing and twisting like a snake;

i see ppl who lie or want to lead wrong like snakes! I see them actually twist. Not in the body but in the spirit.

Its good to know that am not alone, we dont speak of this things in the society, that is bad. Becouse we need too know as you tell. ty God bless us all in Jesus name.

@Mishael; Wow!!! Thank youuuuu! I'll sit under that teaching any time!

I'm hearing you. Message received.

I'm preaching a little here

People need to know we all have to stay prayed up against spiritual attacks. I almost had my neck broke by one. And then it was pulled off of me by an angel. I didn't see it, but I heard body blows out in the yard outside my open window.

It happened when I came home from church and found my tarot card carrying aunt trying to tell my mother the Roswell incident was real. I looked my aunt in the eyes and said, SELLS LOTS OF BOOKS DOESN'T IT? She did the eye thing too and said, IT SURE DOES. Her and her "medium" boyfriend left the next morning.

Not long after that I gave a church friends friend a ride home from church. (She wanted to go out with friends). On the way to his house he starts hissing and twisting like a snake; and he pulls out a 10 inch butcher knife. I was praying silently in tongues the last few blocks. He got out of my car without incident.

We all must know that the Dominion, God gave to Adam is ours too. Creepy people qualify as creeping things as far as I'm concerned. Jesus gave us Authority to tread on scorpions, creeps and every other evil thing. Gotta learn who we are IN CHRIST. The word of God (scriptures) in our mouth__is as deadly as Goliaths sword in David's hands. Jesus confronted Satan with scriptures; when He was tempted in the desert.

The spirit world is invisible ( Ephesians 6) you won't see anything but your spirit can discern the attack. Fight back like Jesus did. God isn't going to allow "them" to hurt His child.

We can ask God to send angels to guard our house and kids. They harken to the Word being spoken, so put some FM Radio on in the evenings; or YouTube spiritual warfare scripture readings.

We have weapons of warfare. I'm saying they work. "We have not, because we don't ask. So let's ask, receive it and use it." I'm not making this up. Anyone doing anything with Jesus, be alert. Don't date UNBELIEVERS, young people.

Mishael

Hey Carleton,

Thanks, our family in Christ is amazing, made up of different parts of the body with various gifts and purpose and the amazingly different ways we are reborn into this family of the body of Jesus Christ.

God bless you and your family.

RLW

Brother Ronald, Thank you for sharing some of your testimony here.

Hey Mishael,

We are of the same generation I'm seventy-one, and I agree with you about dates, only the Father knows. I read most of your posts, and the only reason I replied was the video, you said it was really good teaching, sorry, numbers do not post too well on this site.

If you look closely at that video it is like watching a magician, full of misdirection. Using prophetic days and years with 365-day years, throwing in 1948 using ( Ezekiel 37:3), which turns on a light bulb to people, "Hey this must be true that's when Israel became a nation again". There is a lot more I could say, it is easy to pick a verse out of context, and paint a beautiful, believable picture of falsehood about end times and other teachings that are out there today, and so many are looking and believing in false things.

I too went to church early in life and later caught up in the world. In my late forties, my wife and I were in Mexico, and my wife was attacked by a demonic being. We went through over two years of unbelievable things. My wife was in the hospital and I went by my parents' house and I picked up our family Bible and a poem that my grandfather had written fell out in my lap. I read it and I felt a overcoming light fill me, I have been reading my Bible ever since.

My eyes were opened fast too, Ephesians.6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Oh, by the way, some have physical bodies.

My marriage did not make it, just me and Jesus now, never to remarry with no children. At our age we have seen many changes, church buildings, people think of as the Church, not them. The world swallowing people up and the speed it is happening is frightening, ( 2 Timothy 3: 1-7)

You can feel the love in your words.

God bless,

RLW

He's looks like a man, but he's beautiful. Stronger than our self-hate. He adopted me.

WOW !!! That certainly must have been a awesome thing ,.. I am happy for you, seeing Jesus, is a special opportunity

I lived in Tulsa a few years. I learned setting dates can be disastrous to people's faith.

I keep track of what happens in divers places.

Freedom, loss of freedom, fears, weather, disasters, bad people get badder; unusual allegations.

I find the mathematic presentation compelling, but I truly believe we need to do what Jesus told us to do. Be aware of signs of the times. Be watching, looking up. Let go of tedious, spirit of exhausting busyness. Don't be polluted by the world views. Complaining. Moses's group continually complained and never saw freedom.

I think my generation (I'm 70) are tasked with focusing on faith in what Jesus says and to keep our younger generation built up on strengths and refuse the sensuality of the world. I plant seeds into anyone who will listen for 5 minutes. They need encouragement. To be edified instead of shredded by people who have lost hope already.

TV has a deadly message of sensuality, greed, consumerism.

I'm preaching to the children that followed Joshua and CalebI guess.

I was aware of God at 5, in a very real way. He shorted me how things work, how they get broke. He gave me a wise Dad who showed me how to fix broke things, self-motivation, drive that carried me through life. I never agreed with the direction the world was going.

My life went in a bad direction because of the ancestral sin of occult. And then in my 34th year Jesus appeared to me in my living room, in a vision. My life BEGAN that day. Acts 19:19 on the 2nd day. I never looked back. We are either following Jesus, or the World. I never re-married.

I was in street ministry much of my life. I still am.

We are all in a new season. God is trying to get our eyes back on just Him. The world has nothing worth missing the Caught Up for. Gotta grab onto the Lord because He'll be moving real fast.

Watch the signs of our Times. No doomsday prepping needed. Hang onto the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for your comment.

How Close,

Please don't take this as against you, I just thought you may want to test the waters and this is in love. I watched the video you posted, very interesting, I loved the art work it made his presentation. It was very well put together, using math along with scripture tells the story, but you may want to check out some of his math.

I will make it short and only point out a few things and again this is not to start a debate on this and it is not directed towards you but just point out things for truth in his video. First if Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday the next day is the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread a Sabbath, and Friday the women could have gone to the tomb.

If you take a date like 1948 and multiply it by a number and divide the answer by the same number it will come out the same number. 1948x20=38960 divided by 20=1948. The year 1948 is derived by 365.24-day years not 360-day years. Take the 70 weeks, if we use prophetic years, 70 x 7 = 490 x 360 =176400 days divided by 365.24 = 483 years not 490 years for the 70 weeks.

If we take 457 B.C. as a start day adding 69 prophetic weeks it would be 69 x 7 = 483 years x 360 = 173880 days divided by 365.24 = 476.07 prophetic years. Dates each year is derived by 365.24 days each year. 457 B.C. + 476.07 years = 16 A.D. not 24 A.D. when Jesus first came, you have to substract 1 for not 0 year.

We see in ( Nehemiah 2:1-8) it was in the month of Nisan not Tishri.

Regardless of what date Jesus first came, it was 69 weeks from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah, ( Daniel 9:25) and He was to be cut off after 69 weeks ( Daniel 9:26) He was here 3.5 years of the 70th week before He was crucified.

This may not make since but I hope you can make since of it.

God bless,

RLW

I saw a really good teaching by: ROCK ISLAND BOOKS; on YouTube; TITLED: END TIMES - DANIEL UNSEALED. Its a lot of math and Scripture.

As in the days of Daniels lifetime. The math begins in book of Numbers & Exodus. Included is all the times Israel sinned as a nation; God reset the clock. Clock resetting happened when Israel sinned.

Now in the past when anyone tries to set a date, it doesn't fly. In Jewish Weddings when the couples house is ready to be lived in, the Father tells the Groom to go get his Bride.

More often I favor the Ten Virgins Parable. Matthew 25. Not everyone is a math+prophesy genius. Jesus didn't set a date, and neither do I. He said to be ready to meet the Bridegroom As in a Jewish Wedding. I keep that in mind.

Some of the virgins were not ready and were Left Behind.

I'm more of a sign watcher. I don't have anyone distracting me except a bossy cat and 2 birds. :/

I read tons of stuff. The Holy Spirit leads me to incredible facts. Like, Covid originated in China, Africa and the eastern Mideast. The National colors of China are mentioned in the Bible. History shows origins of every past pandemic/pestilence. Africa is over-run with locust swarms that eat the crops they desperately need. And it's spreading into the Mideast. Most countries don't help with $$ to spray the pests.

Our Government is not helping Israel as in the past. God blesses the nations that bless Israel. They've requested help to keep the Iron Dome armed. Looks like Congress is acting dazed and confused. As a result, our nation is experiencing the curses in Leviticus. Such as, OUR ENEMIES WILL BREACH OUR BORDERS. We got that: China, all of South America, Mexico, Haiti and Palestinians.

The New Madrid fault zone (USA) is having tremors.

Jesus could return this year.

So are we pre tribe or post tribe????

Verses 38 and 39-Jesus here referred to the Flood as an actual historical event and even likens the time we are living in to the days of Noah.

Yes David , I'm with you on that . I think that if God speaks to us on an individual level , we will surely be in no doubt about it . When , or rather if , we have read the Old Testament , we can read of the accounts of this happening and also in Revelation . None of these privileged people were left in any doubt .

the holy goast has been showing the things in my drerams

he took me above the earth and i saw the world burning and all the souls vthat had the marh of the beast were burned up and he said that he is coming back to get his childern this was in another dream

Rick colombo I've met people in my life that told me about dreams or things they saw and questioned if it was from God or not. I said to them first If you get info from God He will explain it, also it will bless you and whoever it applies to, will never contradict His Word and always Glorify him, there will be no confusion to it because God is not the author of confusion.

After reading your comment, I had to ask myself what purpose would there be in you taking pictures of images of Christ? Please explain how your "comment" edifies anyone other than yourself. Again. What purpose is there in taking pictures of images of Christ? You claim you have taken photos of Him. I could be wrong, but that would make you the only person on this earth that has actual photos of Jesus our Lord.

Hi robert can you tell me about what christ allowed you to see & him, jesus telling you about the endtimes.

I see images of christ in my apt. at all times. a few of them are permanent. i also see jesus wherever he chooses to appear.

christ allowed me to take photos of the images of him, christ jesus to share as well. such a beautiful sight to see of our father who's art in heaven .

his name is jesus christ of nazareth alone and only!!!.

for, it is written...thy kingdom come and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. ( matthew 6: 10.)

i am that i am have spoken take heed.

I pray much over it and ask the Holy Spirits actual help in understanding what I have seen. Write it down and date it, describe it.

Read Matthew 24 and Luke 21.

Learn how to use the SEAECH BOX on this website to pull up other Bible passages on end times.

If the Holy Spirit releases you to tell the dream/ vision in this room, then do so. He uses many people sometimes to see the same thing; so we may have Confirmation that what you've see is from God.

This does not make us "prophets". It just means we are all tuned into the Holy Spirit.

Hope this gets you started.

what does ih mean when you have dreams of seeing Jesus in your dreams for i have them he showed me the end of all things

Brief note re your Rapture topic note: Matthew 24 is 2nd coming, not rapture. Context is to Jews before church began. Covers Great Tribulation v13,21,22; 144 witnesses 12 per tribe v14; antichrist (post rapture) v15; post-trib v29; 2nd coming v30-31; and harvest of believers v40-41. Yours in Christ, Kevan
