Matthew 24 Has Two Completely Different Prophecies

Did you know that Matthew 24 Has Two Completely Different Prophecies?

With so many false interpretations of the conversations Jesus had with His disciples, I find it necessary to correct the confusion and deceitful information spreading like wildfire in today's false church.

There were two separate conversations:

The first is the temple's destruction.

The second is the signs of His coming and the end of the world.

These do not relate to each other in any way and are vastly different in the timeframe they exist in prophecy.

First, when they were coming out of the temple:

Matt 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

In 70 AD, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. During the destruction, fire was set to the Temple. The fire caused the gold inlay on the Temple ceiling and walls to melt. The melting gold flowed into crevices within the stones. The Romans pried apart the stones to remove the gold. This fulfilled Jesus' prophecy that not one stone would be left standing on another.

This was fulfilled 37 years after Jesus foretold it.

But the next part of the chapter is both spoken at a different time, and features a different prophecy.

We see that this records a different discourse when they were on the other side of the Kidron valley, on the Mount of Olives.

Matt 24:3 And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Notice that they asked Him privately, later on, not while they were still at the temple?

The Mount of Olives is across the Kidron Valley, adjacent to the Temple Mount, and would have taken, at a bare minimum, a few minutes for them to cross over and up onto the mountainside.

This is a completely separate discourse and a completely separate prophecy!

They asked Him about the time of His return and the end of the world.

This had, and has, nothing to do with the Temple's destruction.

All of the remaining signs He spoke of are those which will herald His return at the Last Day.

Jesus said, when we see these signs, this generation shall not pass away. So the generation alive when these signs appear will not grow old and die before the end of the world...

This means that the generation alive today will not grow old and die before Jesus returns!

This, again, has nothing to do with the Temple destruction in 70 AD.

These are the signs, and we see them all coming to pass today:

Earthquakes – TEN-Fold increase in the last 50 years!

Famines – Starving people all over the world – South America, Africa, Asia, India...

Pestilences – Aids epidemic, Flu's (SARS, H1N1, CoronaVirus (COVID-19), bird flu, swine flu, etc.), Resurgence of old plagues – The Plague, Mumps, Measles, Scarlet Fever, and diseases like Tuberculosis, Cancer, Brain diseases, etc.

Great signs from heaven, sun, moon, stars – Alignment that happened in Sept 2017 happens only once every 7000 years, and Studies show there has been much increase in Solar Activity in recent decades. We also need to acknowledge that the "heaven" is the layers of firmament shown to us in Genesis, and that our atmosphere is part of the expanses and overlays, so the increase in frequency and intensity of storms is part of this prophecy. We have seen a major increase in hurricanes and cyclones worldwide over the last few decades, with record-setting storms every season from 2024 through 2026 so far! This follows the same pattern as the uptick in earthquakes since around the 1960's.

Sea and waves roaring - Tsunamis have killed hundreds of thousands recently...

Wars and rumors of wars - Wars in Africa, India, Asia, Russia, Iran, Israel - WW3 looming on the horizon...

False Christs – More than 30 people we know of in the last 200 years claim to be Jesus Christ (many alive today with large followings).

False prophets - False prophets and false teachers are everywhere in the "church" today.

Love waxes cold - Hard-hearted people, especially in the millennial and Gen Z generations. Have you noticed how so many have no compassion? How it's all about me, me, me? Even mothers and fathers to their children!

Brother against brother, children against parents, etc., hated for Jesus' name - Islam and contentions about religion are causing this to happen all over the world today and will get much, much worse when the Antichrist takes over the world.

These signs are all increasing in intensity and frequency today!

Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Be not deceived! Be aware of what Jesus actually said, and know the time!
