Wars, Rumors of Wars, Famines, Earthquakes Leading to AD 70 (Matthew 24:4-13) - Steve Gregg

https://thenarrowpath.com | In this discourse, Steve Gregg examines Matthew 24 and provides insight into its two subjects- the 70 AD event and the Second Coming of Christ. He explains that Matthew combined two separate discourses of Jesus, which can be found in different contexts in Luke. Gregg goes on to highlight the occurrence of wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes around 70 AD and how Jesus predicted false Christs and false prophets. He concludes by emphasizing that Jesus was directing his discourse towards his disciples and emphasizing the importance of understanding the end times. | Transcript: https://opentheo.org/i/6926536226895929241/matthew-244-2413

Matthew 24:4-13
New King James Version
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for [a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, [b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
