Hey my friends it's Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast we're in Matthew

chapter 24 trying to make sense of Jesus Olivet discourse the fifth of the five big

speeches around which Matthew structures his account of the life of Jesus. The disciples show up and they

want to know how is it all going to go down? What's the end game look like for

history and how will we know when you're about to return? Jesus so far has broken

down the answer into three parts.

Part one, there's going to be some birth pains, and this is just history be in history.

Just be faithful, you don't really need to do anything here. When we get closer to the end,

you'll know. Part two is a

description of this thing that we just spent the last week on called the

abomination of desolation. Apparently there's going to be some kind of

profound event, some profaning of the temple that is going to signal that, oh, now we're

getting somewhere, it's going to trigger some stuff, and then what we're looking at right now

is the stuff that's going to lead up to the return of the king, the coming of the son of man, and it looks

like there's going to be some struggles, whether this is a very short window or whether this era

of struggle refers to the whole age of the church moving forward until the return of

Christ is something that people debate but that there will be this tribulation this

difficult time seems to be present in the text here but then the son of man is going to come back and we're

working on that section where Jesus describes the run-up to the return of the son of

man right now at this time I would like to ask my friend Jeffrey who has a beautiful heart and beautiful musical

skill set to play some music and then we're or there he is, don't believe it.

For false Christ's and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive
