Sermon Outline

Matthew 24:5-14

5 For many will come in my name, claiming, `I am the Christ, ' and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold 13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

PRELUDE to THE END TIMES

Daniel the Prophet talked of 70 weeks in Daniel 9:24-27

These weeks were weeks of years.

69 weeks from the signing of the law to rebuild the temple(Nehemiah 2), the Messiah, the Lord Jesus, was cut off (crucified).

There is another week of years, yet to be fulfilled.

  • The anti-Christ will sign a covenant with Israelfor the first 3 1/2 years.
  • Then, after 3 1/2 years the he will break that covenant(Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15).
  • In our text the Lord Jesus is telling us what it will be like during the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation.
