Read along in our "Chapter a Day" Bible plan as we cover Matthew 24, where Jesus explains the end times to his disciples.
Key Points:
- The disciples thought Jesus was talking about an earthly kingdom, not an eternal, heavenly kingdom, when it came to the Kingdom of God and the Messiah.
- Jesus taught that things would get worse before they got better.
- One of the reasons that we share the gospel is that a time will come when the gospel will be preached no more.
- We should be careful about falling into an obssession with the end times and end times prophecy.
Quote This:
Matthew 24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones.
