Matthew 24:29-31

This generation will not pass away without seeing His return. 

We must guard ourselves from becoming complacent. God wants us to be full of zeal for His word that as many as possible will hear about and receive the salvation he provided in Jesus. If we become cold we are unable to be used by Him.

OUR ONLY HOPE IS IN JESUS. 

He was crucified in our place.

Revelation 7:13–17 (NKJV): Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”And I said to him, “Sir, you know.”So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Jesus presents brief parables to demonstrate how the disciples should discern the signs of the times. Faithlife Bible.

This verse moves chronologically to the close of the tribulation, a period that will be marked by monumental cosmic disturbances. The sign of the Son of Man probably refers to Christ Himself appearing in heaven. Gather refers to the gathering of the elect (God’s people, both Jews and Gentiles) that will gloriously begin Christ’s reign. NKJ Bible.

Matthew 24:29–31 (NKJV): “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Is 13:10

For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light;The sun will be darkened in its going forth,And the moon will not cause its light to shine.

Is 24:23

Then the moon will be disgraced And the sun ashamed;For the LORD of hosts will reign On Mount Zion and in JerusalemAnd before His elders, gloriously.

Eze 32:7

When I put out your light,I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark;I will cover the sun with a cloud,And the moon shall not give her light.

Da 7:13

“I was watching in the night visions,And behold, One like the Son of Man,Coming with the clouds of heaven!He came to the Ancient of Days,And they brought Him near before Him.

Mt 24:3

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
