Matthew 24 the end or not the end

Matthew 24 and the Questions of the Disciples

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we are live. I'd like to thank everyone for clicking on and checking us out. My name is Jeff. I'm the pastor of Covenant Reformed Baptist Church. I also have a YouTube channel called My Two Cents.

This is Cents with a Z, My Two Cents with Jeff Rice, and I am one of the co-owners of Post-Tinderbrush Luxe Bible Rebinding, and I'm also one of the co-owners of Post-Tinderbrush Luxe Beard Care, and I'm here with my good brother Brayden.

Brayden, introduce yourself. Yeah, I'm Pastor Brayden Patterson. I hope.

You guys are having a blessed day today. I have the privilege of pastoring a church in Hagerman, Idaho called Valley Baptist Church. I also have a YouTube channel called Reformed Ex-Mormon. I'd love for you guys to check it out, and it's a privilege and honor to be on here with Jeff and also Haps, who isn't here with us today, but on Open Air Theology.

It's a blessing to be here with everyone. Yeah. Well, as y 'all probably noticed, we have the logo done for Open Air Theology, and so we're pretty excited about that. It's something that I drew up a while back, and I have an artist that goes to my church.

I mean, this girl's the real deal. She's got books to where she draws and does everything. She's the real deal, but I had her to redraw it and to do everything for me, and I got it from her the other night, and man, I was just stoked.

So I'm ready to have me a coffee cup with it on there, a t-shirt. Yeah. Ready to merch out. She did an awesome job on that,.

So if she's watching this, just know that we absolutely love it. It looks amazing. Yeah.

So Matthew 24, it's the end of the world as we know it, or is it? Yeah, so we're going to get us started tonight, and so what we're hoping is we're hoping that there is a dispensational that watches us and that's willing to come on here and have a conversation, but not willing to get mad and angry and upset, but if you're watching this and you hold to a dispensational view and you can, like my Theocast friends would say, calm down and trust Christ and have a conversation, we welcome you on live with us, and as we get into it, we'll explain our positions, but right off the jump, so as you know, since we're looking for a premillennial dispensational to come on here and discuss these topics with us, we're not premillennial dispensational.

Yeah,.

Which this topic on Matthew chapter 24 in particular, dispensationalists have a, not, and to be fair, not all dispensationalists have this kind of view, but many, many, many dispensationalists would say that this is yet future for us, and I think this is one of the, the alarming part of this is that if you say this is yet future for us, it would seem that Christ got his prophecy or prediction of future events wrong, and that's because he says in this text that this generation will not fall away until these things have happened.

It says in verse 35, or not 35, excuse me, there's verse 34, truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place, and so in my studying and preparation for this today, there was a, just looking through stuff, there's a book that came out in the 1900 period, Why I'm Not a Christian, and it comes from a person that used to be a dispensationalist that left the Christian faith, I would say that he was never a Christian, but he left the Christian faith, stopped professing to be a Christian because of some of this text that we see here, as he saw it as a failure of wording of Jesus Christ, a prophecy of Jesus Christ, and that's no bueno, not good.

And there's a popular atheist right now doing the same thing. Is there? Yeah, so it's just like this real tall, blonde-haired guy, he's posting his videos on Facebook and all over the web talking about, you know, Christianity can't be true because the person they consider to be their prophet in God has false prophecy, and he goes to Matthew 24.

Yeah, so it's, you know, it's fun things. Yeah. You know, of course, like I think I've commented and stuff like that and try to put them in this place. I know other Christians have as well. I'm pretty sure some of the main guys have challenged him to a debate, and nothing like that has flourished.

Yeah, but so yeah, if you are a premillennial dispensational, and you can have a good conversation, and you don't mind a little push and pull, and if you're willing to push and pull us, you know, we think it'll be fine.

And as a matter of fact, so me and Brayden don't agree on everything when it comes to Matthew 24. Yep. So, I mean, like y 'all probably don't know this, but me and Brayden debate all the time. Like, we're always kind of, you know, behind the scenes pushing and pulling.

That's right. Arguing, and we still love each other. Like, we still get on here and do this, and so we're hoping that some of that will come out. I'm not sure if it'll all come out tonight, but definitely once we get past verse 34, we're going to see some differences between Brayden and myself.

Absolutely. But we're hoping that someone else jumps on here with us and has a different view. And excuse me for my voice. I know Brayden's struggling as well with allergies to pollen, and I had pollen all over my vehicle, and maybe I put my hand on it and touched my face.

I'm not sure, but I've been jacked up for a couple of days, and so I had downed some emergency before I got on here. Well, my voice is probably a little deeper, well, probably a little more manlier than normal.

That's right. Yeah. I mean, like... It's working out in your favor. Yeah. You know, if I can have allergies all the time, I'd sound real good.

Yeah, I'm right there with you. This year so far has been killer for me, so it's going to be fun. So I'm sorry if I'm sneezing and blowing my nose in the background. I'll try my best to mute the.

Mic. All right. All right. So Matthew 24. Yes. All right. So we didn't contact each other before and just kind of have a script of how you want to do this. So do you want to read the whole thing, or you just want to read a portion and kind of answer some questions?

I think the main thing to answer is at least to get to the three questions that's asked. Yes. Yeah. I'm trying to think of.

The best way to do it because I don't... Not that I'm opposed to reading it every single time that we talk on this subject, but trying to think of the best way. Yeah. Let's maybe just read verses one through three and look at the questions that the disciples have to ask, and then maybe we can talk about context of what's going on here.

Okay. And maybe that would be a good place to start. You like that? Yeah, sounds good. You want me to read verses one through three? Yeah, if you want to. Yeah, absolutely. It says in here verses one through three, and Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when his disciples came up to the point to point out the temple buildings to him.

And he answered and said to them, do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here shall be left upon another, which will not be torn down. And he was sitting on the Mount of Olives.

And the disciples came to him privately saying, tell us when these things will be and what will be the sign of your coming and what will be the end of the age or the consummation of the age. And that is really the direct context that we see here coming into Matthew chapter 24, but there's a much broader context.

I don't know if you want to go through some of that stuff.

The Temple, the Three Questions, and the Context of Matthew 24

Yeah, so let's just look at the three questions real quick. Let me pull up my Greek. I have my Greek on hand. I should have done this earlier. Forgive me. I'll grab my Greek. Our desk, well, my desk that I'm at now is the desk that I normally work from.

Oh, I pulled up Calvin. I don't need Calvin. Yes, you do. You need Calvin.

Calvin, where art thou? There we go. I got to get away from these electronics, man. Okay, here we go. All right, got everything pulled up. Yeah, so I have wrote down here, and as you can see in the text, three questions.

The first question is, when will these things be? Second one is, what will be the sign of your coming? The third question is, and the end of the age, right? Now, would you consider that, would you say that he answers this as one question at a time, or would you say that these three questions that were asked has one answer?

So my thinking on this is that.

Traditionally and contextually wise, that the Jews would have thought at the time that if the temple was being destroyed, the end of the world was happening. That was judgment taking place. The world was ending in that time, and so I think what they're doing in here is they're asking questions in regard to the fact of Jesus just saying the temple will be destroyed, and so I think what Christ has done is he's answering, and how I read this especially, and I think you would say that how you read this too.

Correct me if I'm wrong. We just maybe placed the flip of this answer of the question in a different spot, but I think Christ is answering two different questions going on in here. I think that they ask three questions because they think it's one event, but Christ is differentiating two different things going on in here.

Yeah, so I would say that there's three questions, but there's one answer. Yeah, okay, but well, well, there's three answers, but they all culminate in the same event, I would say. So when I see when will these things be, it's coming right off the heels of him given the depending on your Bible, the seven or the eight woes in chapter 23.

In verse 29, he gives a woe to you, scribes, pharisees, hypocrites. He build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous saying, if we had lived in the day, if they had lived in the days of our fathers, we would have not taken part with them in the shedding of the blood of the prophet.

Yeah. Right here, 31, thus you witness against yourself that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up then a measure of your father. You serpents, you brood of vipers. How, right here, how shall you escape from being sentenced to hell?

So he's speaking to the religious leaders and he says, how will you, the religious leaders, pharisees, escape from being sentenced from hell? And then right here, verse 34, therefore, I send you prophets, wise men, scribes, some of them you will kill, crucify, and some of them you will flog in synagogues and persecute from town to town.

So that on you, speaking to the religious leaders, may come all the righteous blood shed on earth from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.

Truly, I say to you, the Pharisees, all these things will come upon this generation. The word generation, Greek word is genea, and it is in the near demonstrative. So whenever his disciples say, when will these things be?

I think they're speaking about him sending prophets, wise men, and scribes that will be crucified. And then when you get down here in Matthew 24, he actually explains to them that it's going to be them, and they're going to be dragged before the council.

You see what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like it. Yeah. So that would be my answer for the, when will these things be? And then it says, and what will be the sign of your coming? You want to take that one or you want me to roll with it?

The Coming of the Son of Man and the Sign of Judgment

Yeah. So the sign of your.

Coming, I would, and this is just me assuming where you're coming from on this as well, because this is where I would be coming. Because I think that the sign of your coming is again, them thinking, because in verses four through 34, particularly, there's some very strong wording about judgment coming upon a certain group of people.

And it seems like it's a localized event. And we'll talk a little bit more about that. So I would maybe even preface the context a little bit more. Chapter 21 has the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ and coming into the temple.

On his way into the city, the people are crying out, Hosanna, Hosanna, blessed be the name of the one who comes in the Lord. Christ comes in, cleanses the temple and begins to teach in the temple these different things.

In chapter 22, I would take special note of particularly, and this will drive some of my contextual reading later on in the chapter, which I don't think will affect us today. But in chapter 22, he gives a parable of a wedding fest, feast that's going on, fest, wedding fest, wedding feast that is going on in here.

And I would say that one needs to take special note of in 21 as well, that it talks about these vine growers who the vineyard is going to be taken away from and given to another group of vine growers because the vine growers went and killed the servants that were sent unto them.

Yeah. And I was saying that the vine growers.

Would be the prostitutes and the tax collectors. Okay. As it previously stated. Yep. Yep. And so.

I'm tracking you. And so in chapter 22, it says in there, it says, well, so the wedding feast has begun. He tells them to go out and send messengers unto his servants. And in verse four, it says again, he sent out other slaves saying, tell those who have been invited, behold, I have prepared my dinner.

My oxen and my fattened living livestock are all butchered and everyone is ready come to the wedding feast. But they said they pay no attention and went their way one to his own farm, another to his business and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.

So just to kind of talk a little bit more about this and verse four, we see that the wedding invites don't take place until the father or the person that's putting the wedding on has dictated for the wedding to be ready.

This was common tradition in the Jewish time that the father got to dictate when the wedding took place. So he was raising the animals to be killed and to feed the people. He was getting the wine ready.

And though you could see with your eyes, the fat and whatever was being sat, whatever was being killed, you could see whatever was going to be killed, getting fat. And you knew that the time was near for the wedding feast.

You could see these things take place, but it was ultimately up to the father to say, this is the go time. And it was an honorable thing, just like how we, in our day, go to the father to ask for your future wife's hand in marriage.

This was the honorable traditional thing in that day. And I'll play some stuff later on, but just take note of that in Matthew chapter 22, that there's been clearing out of the temple, wedding language that's been used.

The Sadducees even ask more questions about wedding stuff because they've heard Jesus teach on this now. Another interesting thing to take note of is after these individuals in that wedding parable have seized the slaves, it says that the king was enraged and sent his armies and destroyed the murderers and set their city on fire.

Then he said to the slaves, the wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the main highways and the many, as you find there, invite to the wedding feast. So we see that there's wedding that's been talked about.

And then especially in chapter 23, with those seven or eight woes, depending on how you read that and how your Bible is set up, these woes are given to the Jews. And so I would say that the things that we see in here is judgment and a wedding.

That's the common themes that have taken place, judgment and wedding. So when I see here in the son of man is coming, we see later on in this text that he is coming on the clouds, that he's coming, he's, let me see here, paid attention to verse 29 in Matthew chapter 24, verse 29.

It says, but immediately after those days, or immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of heaven will be shaken.

And then the sign of the son of man will appear in the sky. And then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the son of man coming on the clouds of the sky with great power and glory.

Now in chapter 23, verses 28 through 39 says, part of those seven woes, Christ says, behold, your house is being left to you desolate. For I say to you from now on, you shall not see me until you say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

I'm thinking of the next place I want to go. Mark chapter 14. And this is just to see the commonality of this language that is being used here by Christ. Mark chapter 14, verse 61 to 63. This is when Jesus is before Caiaphas and the high priests.

In verse 61, he says, but he kept silent and made no answer. Again, the high priest was questioning him and saying to him, are you the Christ, the son of the blessed one? And Jesus said, ego me, I am.

And you shall see the son of man sitting at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven and tearing his clothes. So the high priest tears his priestly garb, tearing his high clothes. The high priest said, what further need do we have as a witness?

You have heard the blasphemy. How does it seem to you? And they all condemned him to be deserving of death. And so when we see this term, we need to understand it as judgment coming upon. In Mark chapter 14, he was speaking to the person questioning him.

And in this text, it would seem that he's talking about the nation of Israel for rejecting him, for desecrating his father's temple, for violating it, for rejecting him as the Messiah. To me, when I read this, it sounds like Christ is coming in unfettered wrath against the Jewish nation, particularly in 70 AD.

So when I see them asking, once again, they're asking, I think they're asking three questions, but I think it's, they're thinking in their mind that this is one event that's taking place. And so they're just saying, okay, when will these things be?

When's the sign of your coming? And what's the consummation of the age? They're asking these things, even though the 70 AD is not the age.

I think you're letting some of your all millennialism out when you say consummation of these things. I am. I am. I am. No doubt. I'm catching it. I'm grabbing it. I'm going to rebuke it later. I love it. Love it.

No, you're good. I was just going to say, yes, I just see that Christ is going to be answering them and particularly correcting them a little bit in their misunderstanding as he often does. So I hope that answers this.

It was good. And I would also point out where it says, like, it clearly lays out the three questions. Tell us, when will these things be? And right here, I forgot to turn my phone on silent. Excuse me.

No, you're good. I'll answer you in just a minute, Matt. No. What will be the sign of these things and the, hold on. Okay, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming? So when I look here in my Greek, the word for coming is, I'll just move away from it.

Here it is. It's parousia. Yep. So this can mean, and so you need to understand that they're in the presence of Jesus and they're asking him what will be the sign of his presence. All right. Well, something's going on here, right?

So they're in the presence, they're in the parousia of the bodily Jesus, God in flesh. And they're saying, so when can we expect your presence? Now, if that doesn't make you think, you don't have a heartbeat.

So I know there's a lot of full preterists that out there that would say that this is speaking about the coming of Jesus in 70 AD, and I would agree with them in that, but I wouldn't say that that was his second coming.

No. So his coming in 70 AD is not his second coming, but then the premillennial dispensation or maybe even some all males out there would say that this is speaking about his future bodily coming, the second coming of Christ.

But it just doesn't seem to make sense because he's in their presence and they're asking him about when his presence is coming. And as you read through the scriptures, it's actually very clear that they don't have a clue what's going on, right?

Like they have no clue. Jesus is constantly having to remind them of things, remind them of the gospel, remind them that he is going to die, he's going to be buried, and he's going to raise from the dead.

He's constantly having to remind them these things. And so when I read this, I don't think that they get it right right here of that, okay, you're going to die, you're going to bury, you're going to raise, you're going to go to the father, and then you're going to come back to us years and years and years down the road.

I don't believe this is what they're talking about. I believe it's like they know that this is talking about the ushering in of a new covenant, a new age. That sounded not good, Jeff. I don't know if you caught that.

I did. And then you come to this last point, and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age? And so like the whole part of Matthew 24 is going to be explaining those three things, and we're going to see all three of those things in this section.

And so just to get my, like I'm not going to explain my position right now, and you can go ahead and do yours as well. So when I see the end of the age, it's the Greek word aeon. So there's different ways that you can say the word world.

And so like the most popular way would be cosmo, which basically means all of earth, basically. So if you see the word cosmo, it's actually speaking of the created order, all the earth. Then there's the word oikomene, which we would see as, again, I'm not going to go through the text right now and explain all these things.

We will definitely get there. So oikomene would be the known land, and we can use chapter two, verse one, to see that this is speaking about the Roman providence. Rome was over 10 kings. I mean, Rome had 10 kings, and they were over 10 kingdoms.

Seven heads, 10 horns, 10 diadems, just throw some revelation in there. And then the end of the age, I would see as the end of the old covenant Judaic age. And so you would see that we're still in the age that.

They're talking about here, correct? Yeah, I would. I would, yep.

Yeah, and I would say that the end of the age took place at 70 AD. And then we can get into that if you want to tonight, or we just go through whichever. But the three questions go around that. When will be the sign of, when will be these things, talking about the persecution, when will be the sign of your coming, his parousia, his presence, coming and judgment, and when will be the end of the age, which I would take as the end of the earthly kingdom people.

Their system, and you can explain how you want to.

The End of the Age, the Present Evil Age, and the Overlap of the Covenants

No, I love it. So just to kind of reiterate some little bit on the sign of the coming of the son of man, I would also look at the book of Revelation. And I want to say in the very first five chapters that uses that word coming four or five times.

And it's continually about coming and judgment. He tells different churches to repent unless he is coming. It sounds like there's multiple comings of Christ or God to people that are in sin against him that are going against him.

And so that doesn't necessarily always have to put it in the category of the second coming. And so when I see 70 AD, I see that as an absolute prophetic fulfillment of God's wrath against the people that rejected him and called out for him to be crucified when they were the first ones to receive him, the ones that should have accepted him.

And so I see that that is a coming of Christ and judgment when it comes to the consummation or the end of this age. I once again, I think because consummation is once again, marriage language.

And so I think that what they're doing is they're consummation in here, the Greek.

Let me see here. So for my NASB translation, it says that another way of reading that would be consummation. Let me pull up on my Matthew 24 by a level blue lettered Bible app.

Right here. Mine has the Jewish messianic period. And of course, my Greek is a preterist.

Yes. Yeah. So mine, I don't know if you can see it, but the interlinear blue letter Bible app, it says completion, consummation or end.

Yeah. Well, they're pretty millennial dispensational.

Gosh, dang it. Dang it. Can't even trust my own apps I'm using anymore. Anyway, so I do see that this is marriage language that they're asking about personally. And so being the position.

I would say the marriage language comes in in chapter 25, which we're going to go through.

Oh, totally. I think it does as well there too. I totally do. But I think that's part of the question that Jesus is answering because of the question that they asked. I think the question that he asked is driving him to use that marriage language later on in a parable that I loved.

That's where my mind goes with this. So, but this age and the age to come, I see those two phrases used often throughout the New Testament. I think that the stuff in this age, I see that this age, the day of the Lord and the age to come, age to come, I would say as eternal state or the consummation of God's kingdom.

So what do you do with first Corinthians chapter 10 verse 11?

First Corinthians chapter 10 verse 11.

Yeah. And let me answer Matthew real quick. Hey, so you asked if I was post-meal. Well, I used to say that I was post-meal, but every time I did, people would assume that I am a theonomist, a theonomist, and I am not a theonomist.

So instead of saying post-meal, I say that I am a optimistic partial preterist, an optimistic partial preterist. And there's definitely a lot of things that I agree with the post-meal about. And there's a lot that I agree with the all meals about.

But I think the post-meal can get too physical when it comes to the kingdom. And the all meals are too spiritual when it comes to the kingdom. So I kind of ride the fence and I'd rather just say I'm an optimistic partial preterist.

I find that's my safe zone.

You should just say you're a partial preterist omnil. You'll be well accepted into the home.

No, no. I'm just kidding with you. Again, I mean, you know, there's a lot that you say that I agree with. Yeah, absolutely. And we'll get into that. Yeah, I want to ask some questions, poke and pry. We have to figure it out.

Yeah. So, so, so going back to that question of first Corinthians chapter 10, verse 11, I don't know the text off the top of my head to be able to speak well educatedly on it.

But the word basically says, now these things happen to them as an example, but they were written down for our instructions on whom the ends of the ages have come.

So that word end is different than the word end in the question that's being posed to him. It's a different Greek word. So like I said, I don't know the context off the top of my head to be able to speak educatedly on it.

But like I would, I would push back and ask if, if, if you think that the age to come is the age that we're in right now, how do you deal with Luke 20, 35? In that verse, it says that there will be no marriage in the age to come or any, really any texts there's.

So there's several things. If we look at the age to come, there's, there's blasphemy. That's not forgiven, which is also not forgiven in this age. We receive eternal life in the age to come no marriage in the age to come and power and.

Superiority of God in the age to come. So it's really easy. It's really easily answered because the, the, the age to come is a here and not yet. Okay. Yeah. So that sounds all mill. Well, already not yet.

Yeah. What? Yeah. I mean, well, it's just like the kingdom, the kingdom is here, but it's not consummated. So the, the age is here, but it's not consummated. Yeah. None of that consummation takes place until the second coming of Jesus.

His first coming is basically inaugurates it, but then the consummation doesn't take place until, but of course, you know, like with his blood and stuff like that, because there was a period of time to where you had the old, the old covenant on the earth.

Then there was an overlap of the new covenant. And so, and I would say that these covenants represent in the ages and all, and, and, and, and let me go to some verses real quick. I got written down just to kind of point out.

So in Galatians chapter one, Paul calls it the, the, this evil, let me pull it up real quick. I said, pull it up as I'm thumbing through my Bible.

While you're going there. Yeah. I'll just, I'll just quickly just say though, I do think that that's the question being posed to him as a wedding type question about this age coming to an end. And I think that that in the first coming of Christ, he inaugurated the kingdom, inaugurated his, his wedding.

He was betrothed at that point in that sense, and not a metaphorical language. And in the second coming, he is presented a bride as the wedding day. The consummation of the age is what I, how I read that text.

And so that's kind of the lens I'm going through. And I think that that's where the Jews are getting it wrong at or the disciples of Christ that are asking him about it. They're getting it wrong because they're just wanting to group it all together.

And then Christ explains a little bit more about what he's meaning that the temple is not the end of this age, in my opinion. Right. Right. Right. So Paul.

In the letter to the Galatians, he opens up as Paul, an apostle, not from man nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God, the father who raised him from the dead. And all the brothers who are with me to the churches of Galatia, grace to you and peace from God, the father, our Lord Jesus Christ right here, verse four, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and father.

So I would say at the present, I got one more verse present evil age is the, the Jewish system, the system that, that, that command for obedience to the law, circumcision and all this other stuff. And so in Hebrews chapter nine, he's explaining the furniture of the, of the, the furniture and the holy place and in the holy of holies, and then how the, the priest would enter in on the day of yonkapur, yonkapurim, the day of atonement.

And then in verse eight, he's speaking of, of the holy spirit, but also the section, the holy place says this by this, the holy spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet open. As long as the first section is still standing, which is symbolic for the present age.

All right. As long as that temple is standing, it's symbolic for the present age,.

Temple goes, that age is gone. I, I would, cause I still think that we're in that sinful age that.

Was being spoken of in that one verse. And I, what is, what is Galatians about is about the Judaizers trying to get people underneath the old covenant system. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Come on. Absolutely. No, I know that. I know that I still, though, I think that that's still speaking of, of this present age where sin is still residing. And that's why I think that the age to come is, is a glorified state where sin is no longer present in our flesh.

It's been glorified. I'd have to think on that a little bit more, Jeff. That's a good one.

The Present Evil Age, the Judaizers, and the Age to Come

Yeah. Hey, I have, I have one or two of them. So I got, we got someone asking a bunch of questions. I can't really catch them all. Do you mind if I just respond real fast to KLH.

Arts real quick? They said, I don't remember why I'm subscribed to this channel. Once saved, always saved. We are thankful that you were subscribed, but we do believe that the atonement of Christ is powerful enough, not only to save us, but also to keep us.
