=== Matthew 24 Revelations (03:03) ===

[00:00:00]  You know, I've heard you speak on Friday, and I wanted to know really where we are.
[00:00:06]  But Matthew 24, 9 says that we will suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
[00:00:15]  Is this happening right now?
[00:00:18]  We are so far in to the revelation, and the church hardly notices it because they're refusing to teach.
[00:00:27]  You need to beg your pastor, preach it.
[00:00:30]  He'll say, oh, I'm not sure I quite understand it all.
[00:00:33]  We just say, read it then.
[00:00:35]  Because the Bible promised the blessing from that chapter.
[00:00:39]  If you hear it and study it and preach it, it's time to do it.
[00:00:44]  Absolutely.
[00:00:45]  Here's where we are, people.
[00:00:48]  And I shared this with you, I think, on my last broadcast or one of the broadcasts last week.
[00:00:53]  Matthew 24, verse 33.
[00:00:58]  I'm just quickly throwing this out to remind you of what we saw.
[00:01:02]  Matthew 24 is very clear.
[00:01:05]  So after Jesus, this is Jesus talking, it talks about all the things that are coming on the earth.
[00:01:11]  All the earthquakes, all the famine, all the things, fire from the sky, and all the things that are going to happen.
[00:01:17]  And then it says in verse 33, I read this a few days ago for you.
[00:01:21]  So also when you see these signs, all taken together coming to pass, you may know of a surety that he is near at the very door.
[00:01:34]  When you see all the things from Matthew 24, that is the coming of the Lord.
[00:01:39]  What Jesus said will be the signs of his coming back.
[00:01:43]  And then in the book of Revelation, it basically says the same thing.
[00:01:49]  And it's like Matthew 24 is an index to the book of Revelation.
[00:01:55]  And we're living in both areas.
[00:01:57]  We're living in Matthew 24 and we're living in the book of Revelation.
[00:02:02]  And people, you just need to be aware.
[00:02:04]  God says, I don't want that day to come upon you unaware.
[00:02:10]  He wants you to know things are going to happen that they're going to shock you.
[00:02:16]  You know, an asteroid came so close to the earth just a few hours ago.
[00:02:21]  Did you know that?
[00:02:22]  Yes, I did.
[00:02:23]  And they said they didn't see it.
[00:02:25]  Yes.
[00:02:26]  And it would have literally, if it had hit like New York, New York would have been gone.
[00:02:32]  That's how powerful it was.
[00:02:34]  But it was one of the closest passes of any asteroid in history.
[00:02:40]  And they didn't have any idea.
[00:02:42]  They had no idea that, you know, they can, you know, with technology, they know when these asteroids are all over the place.

=== Generation's End (00:37) ===

[00:02:50]  This one caught them off guard.
[00:02:52]  So when you see these signs all taken together coming to pass, you may know of a surety that he is near at the very door.
[00:03:04]  Truly, I tell you, this generation is the whole multitude of people living at the same time in a definite given period.
[00:03:13]  It will not pass away till all these things taken together take place.
[00:03:20]  All of them will take place in one generation.
[00:03:24]  And we are that generation.
