What Jesus Has To Say About End Times
Summary
The Olivet Discourse challenges popular ideas about the rapture by suggesting a period of trial for the Church instead of an immediate rescue.
Jesus' prophecy, alongside Daniel's, suggests a two-stage return: one for the rapture and another for His rule, different from traditional views.
Understanding Jesus' words in Matthew 24 about the temple's desecration requires consideration of both literal and symbolic meanings, emphasizing the need for a thorough study of biblical texts for end times beliefs.
“However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.”
