Preview Chapter 1
After the disciples asked Jesus their questions in Matthew 24:3, Jesus answered talking about false leaders claiming to be Christ, wars, earthquakes, famines, persecutions, and people falling away from the faith. He also talked about the gospel being preached around the world, followed by destruction, tribulation, and people being taken away.
Christians who believe the popular endtime view study our Lord’s answers and conclude that all of the events listed are going to happen in the future, shortly before the end of the world.
Victorious eschatology comes to very different conclusions when studying Matthew 24. We will go with you through Matthew 24 verse by verse to explain, but first we need to identify clearly the questions Jesus was asked by His disciples.
As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matt. 24:3)
Some translations (e.g. King James Version) end this verse with “end of the world,” because the word aion, which is used in the original Greek, may be translated as “age” or “world.” Using the term “world,” popular endtime teachers tend to summarize the questions asked by the disciples into an inquiry about the second coming of Jesus and the end of the world. Therefore, when Jesus gives His answer in the verses that follow, all His comments are thought to be answering that question.
Victorious eschatology begins by noting that in Matthew 24:3, the disciples asked Jesus not just one question, but three questions.
Question #1: “When will these things happen?”
Question #2: “What will be the sign of Your coming?”
Question #3: “What about the end of the age (world)?”
Recognizing three distinct questions dramatically changes how we understand the answers Jesus gives in the verses to follow. We will see how our Lord first answers question number one in Matthew 24:4-28. Then He answers the second question in Matthew 24:29-34. Finally, He answers the question about the end of the age (or the end of the world) in Matthew 24:35-25:46.
