The Gathering Storm: Matthew 24, The End of the World - Paperback

by Guy Lee (Author)

This book by Dr. Guy Lee digs deep into the questions asked by the disciples pertaining to the description of the end of the world (age) and the answers given by Jesus in Matthew 24. From the destruction of the Temple by General Titus to the time just like Noah's days, the course of the world is simplified and revealed by the exegesis of this significant passage. The Post-modern and Post-Christian world would do well to heed this most significant Biblical passage. Believers will be looking up and unbelievers amazed at the truths expounded by looking around them at the present state of the world. Hopefully, some will heed the call to believe on Him Who loved us first. WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGN OF THY COMING? Matthew 24:4-14: These verses have a double interpretation. They give: The character of the Age, wars, international conflicts, pestilences, persecutions and false Christs. These predictions will have a double fulfillment in a lesser degree during the present age of grace and in the coming period of judgment. Then there will be great apostasy when many shall stumble and faithful servants of God will be betrayed by their closest relatives. This too has had a partial fulfillment during this dispensation. THE TWO STAGES OF THE LORD'S COMING: 1. Rapture, which is the personal coming in the air, not to the earth, for the church, I Thessalonians 2:19, I Thessalonians 4:13-18. There is an interval of the seven year tribulation period between the rapture and the Second Advent. 2. Second Advent, when Jesus is coming at His second advent with His saints to reign. Revelation 19:14
