No One Knows That Day and Hour Matthew 24:36-51 “ Two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left ” (Matthew 24:40) is frequently spoken of as the experience of the rapture; namely, some will be taken with Christ in the rapture and some left. But the context says the ones taken here are taken for judgment (Luke 17:37) which means it is not the rapture. Thank you for tuning into Dai...

The Lesson of the Fig Tree Matthew 24:32-35 The exhortation in the parable. “ Learn ” (Matthew 24:32). The parable begins with an exhortation to “ learn ” from it.

The Coming of the Son of Man Matthew 24:29-31 “ As the lightning cometh ” (Matthew 24:27). Lightning is characterized by speed and suddenness.

Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple Matthew 24:1-2 The sight of the temple at Jerusalem was one of the more outstanding sights in the ancient world. It was built of white marble and plated with gold. It shone in the sunlight so that a person could hardly look at it. For the pilgrim to Jerusalem, to come to Mount Zion was an impressive call to reverence and worship. Some of the temple's large...

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem Matthew 23:37-39 The lament is definitely to show that the prophecy of Jesus was not given in a spirit of vindictiveness. His lament over Jerusalem frames the laments of "woe" in love. In lamenting the faithlessness of His countrymen in not reaching their destiny, He transfers their rejection of the prophets to Himself. He wept over Jerusalem; He would have gathered th...

Seven Woes to the Scribes and Pharisees Part 2 Matthew 23:23-36 Fourth, their lack in understanding the will of God was expressed in caring about the trivia of ritual practices and minimizing the great moral precepts meant to be practiced: justice, mercy, and faith ( Mat 23:23-24 ). Fifth, the scrupulous attention to the externals of religion led to a disregard of inner perversions ( Mat 23:25-26...

The Pharisaic hypocrisy was exposed by Jesus in the manner by which it was being expressed. First, the legal experts had removed the keys of the kingdom, and neither entered the kingdom themselves nor assisted others to enter ( Mat 23:13-14 ). Second, in spreading their influence among the Hellenistic world (the Gentiles), they insisted that all converts live by the laws as they interpreted them,...

Jesus condemned their...

Whose Son Is the Christ? Matthew 22:41-46 (KJV) "Whose son is the Christ, the Messiah?" the Pharisees responded, "The Son of David." Jesus immediately quoted a passage in which David himself acknowledged the Messiah as Lord ( Psa 110:1 ). Then Jesus asked, "If David calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his Son?" We should note that Jesus said David made this statement "in the Spirit" ( Mat 22:43 ), a direc...

This picture is described in Psa 2:2 , "The rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed." One of the group served as a spokesman. The word nomikos, translated "lawyer," means one trained in the Law, a scribe. The question is again to test Jesus, seeking an answer that would indict Him for blasphemy. The scribes said there were 613 laws, with 248 being affirmative and 3...

Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection Matthew 22:23-33 (KJV) 23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having...

Giving Thanks “And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.” (Acts 27:35) PAUL was on board a ship that had gone through a storm.
