(Matthew 24:4-28) We continue looking at the Olivet Discourse in which Jesus answers His disciples' questions about His coming and the end of the age. The focus of this lesson is on the signs indicating the end of the age: the beginning of sorrows, the time of tribulation that follows, and the specific sign that marks the great tribulation that the saints will face during the last half of Daniel's 70th seven, just prior to Christ's return.
In this series, we study Jesus' use of parables as a teaching tool, looking at how and why Jesus used parables, as well as examining the major parables recorded in the synoptic gospels.
