This message explains Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 24 about the End Times, given privately to His disciples on the Mount of Olives. Jesus reveals that prophecy is meant to be understood and outlines three phases: immediate events, the Tribulation, and ultimately His Second Coming. Scripture shows that after unparalleled global distress, Jesus will return visibly and powerfully, fulfilling numerous Old Testament prophecies. His return will bring judgment on a world hardened in rebellion, while His words remain infallible, inerrant, complete, and authoritative. While the Church will be removed before the Tribulation, the generation that endures those final years will witness these signs unfold. Jesus emphasizes that although no one knows the exact day or hour, believers must stay watchful, faithful, wise, and ready—not focused on the Antichrist but on Christ Himself. The call is to live prepared, because His return is certain and life is uncertain.
