Tell me about Matt. 24ch in the Bible???

Question

Matt. 24ch. 46-51verse

Answer 1

It's one of my favorite chapters! Any chapter which, in my "red-letter words of Jesus" Bible is almost entirely red must be a favorite!

In this Chapter, Jesus prophesies about His second coming in glory, the events that would foretell and occur during the Great Tribulation and His subsequent arrival on earth. He ends with two stern warnings to always be on guard, never to think that, just because one is saved unto salvation, that He (our Master) will not be displeased with us (His servants) if, upon His sudden and unexpected return, He finds us sitting around not fulfilling our Christian duties to His glory.

Answer 2

The apostles knew that Jesus was the Messiah. So when they heard him mention his death, resurrection, and return, they must have wondered, ‘If Jesus dies and goes away, how can he carry out the wonderful things that the Messiah is expected to do?’ Further, Jesus spoke of an end for Jerusalem and its temple. The apostles might have wondered, ‘When and how will that occur?’ In trying to understand these things, the apostles asked: “When will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are destined to come to a conclusion?”—Mark 13:4; Matthew 16:21, 27, 28; 23:37–24:2.

Jesus foretold that there would be wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, hatred and persecution of Christians, false messiahs, and a widespread preaching of the good news of the Kingdom. Then the end was to come. (Matthew 24:4-14; Mark 13:5-13; Luke 21:8-19) Jesus said this early in the year 33 C.E. During the following decades, his alert disciples could recognize that the foretold things were in fact occurring in a significant way. Yes, history proves that the sign had a fulfillment at that time, leading to a conclusion of the Jewish system of things at the hands of the Romans in 66-70 C.E.

Answer 3

The best explanation to your question, regarding Mt 24:46-51 is found in the book:

"Insight on the Scriptures",
under, "Faithful and Discreet Slave".

It is against Copyright Law & the wishes of its publishers to make any electronic copies... However, you can ask* for a printed copy either in writing, by submitting an electronic 'coupon', or, visiting*.

The following articles don't get into the meaning of verses 46-51, but do discuss a great deal of the rest of the chapter.

Verses 46-51 are a bit difficult to understand, in part because a group is being spoken of, with the use of both singular & plural nouns & pronouns. I'm afraid I couldn't both adequately & clearly describe it anywhere near as well as the "Insight" book.

Answer 4

Matthew 24 is talking about the end times (Eschatology). Jesus himself, said that He didn'[t know the day or the hour of His return, which brings into judgment all date-setters. (Matt. 24:26). We must live with the 'expectation' that Jesus is literally coming again, and we will live and reign with Him througout eternity! Before this happens, the gospel will be preached worldwide. In this section Jesus calls us to faithfulness and to refrain from fololowing the false messiahs that are arising in ech generation. If you read Matthew 24:29
"For wherever the carcass isk there the eagles will be gathered together." = is symbolic of the death and decay of the 'old age' as it gave way to the new. The lifeless corpse of Judaism attracts the carrion eagles of Rome. This suggests that when the world has become rotten with evil, the Son of Man will come in judgment. Jesus tells us to 'watch' for His coming! Be ready! He says, "...coming at an hour when you do not expect..." If you skip over to the parable of the Ten Virgins you'll learn about 'keeping watch for the bridegroom (Jesus). Stay ready! (Keep enough oil in your lamp!) Notice: 1. "Our lamps have gone out!" 2. The door was shut! 3. 'I do not know you."
...........The question here is: What does it mean
to wait for our Lord's coming: Jesus answers:
"Faithfulness!" (2 Thess. 2:2; 3:11-12)

I hope this was helpful. Blessings.

Answer 5

It's a message about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple (which occurred in 70AD exactly as prophesied) and the RE-establishment of God's kingdom upon the earth in the form of the Christian church.

Jesus unexpectedly switches conversations back and forth and that makes MAt 24 difficult to follow.

Answer 6

The main points about Matthew 24 are:

1. What will happen to the temple?
2. What will occur during the end-times?

GOD bless

Answer 7

Matthew 24 is the chapter in which Christ explains to His disciples about the Last Days. The disciples thought that this would come in their lifetimes, and it troubled them to not know what to expect.

Jesus begins telling them about the time of the Tribulation in verse 4.

He begins by telling them to make sure that nobody DECEIVES them. In order to prevent deception (by Satan's army of crafty ministers), each christian should diligently pray, study the scriptures, meditate, fast, and WATCH what is going on in the world by listening to the news.

Jesus says that these things MUST come to pass before His Return to this earth.

I know that people who are not very knowledgeable about the Bible will find Matthew 24 very troubling. But Christ warns us so that we may arm ourselves with this knowledge ahead of time, and hopefully escape this soon-coming period in mankind's existence.

Answer 8

Hello StarLight,
Matthew 24 Is a warning to HIS Disciples that there will be many who profess to be Christ but are not HIM. The warning goes on to say that many will be lost and unable to be in heaven. We are to "keep our eyes on HIM" and "stay the course". Have a wonderful week.
Thanks,
