Study Notes

Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple

Jesus predicts that the temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed, with not one stone left upon another.
He says this to His disciples, who had been admiring the temple's buildings.

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

The disciples ask Jesus about the signs of His coming and the end of the age.
Jesus warns them about false Christs and false prophets who will deceive many.
He says that there will be wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes, but these are only the beginning of sorrows.
He also says that they will be delivered up to tribulation, killed, and hated by all nations for His name's sake.

The Great Tribulation

Jesus says that when they see the "abomination of desolation" in the holy place, they should flee to the mountains.
He warns them that there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world.
He says that unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.

The Coming of the Son of Man

Jesus says that false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
He says that His coming will be like lightning, which comes from the east and flashes to the west.
He says that immediately after the tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

Jesus says that they should learn from the fig tree, which becomes tender and puts forth leaves, indicating that summer is near.
He says that when they see all these things, they should know that He is near, at the doors.

No One Knows the Day or Hour

Jesus says that no one knows the day or hour of His coming, not even the angels of heaven, but only His Father.
He says that His coming will be like the days of Noah, when people were eating, drinking, and marrying, but were not aware of the flood that came and took them all away.

The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant

Jesus says that a faithful and wise servant is one who is found doing his job when his master returns.
He says that a wicked and lazy servant is one who beats his fellow servants and eats and drinks with the drunkards.

The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins

Jesus says that the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
He says that five of the virgins were wise and took oil in their vessels, but the foolish ones did not.

The Parable of the Talents

Jesus says that the kingdom of heaven is like a man who delivered his goods to his servants and went on a journey.
He says that the servant who received five talents and gained five more was rewarded, as was the servant who received two talents and gained two more.
He says that the servant who received one talent and hid it in the ground was punished.

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations

Jesus says that when He comes in His glory, He will sit on the throne of His glory, and all the nations will be gathered before Him.
He says that He will separate the sheep from the goats, and the righteous will inherit the kingdom prepared for them.
He says that the righteous will be rewarded because they helped Him when He was hungry, thirsty, a stranger, naked, sick, and in prison.
He says that the wicked will be punished because they did not help Him when He was in need.
