Will Everyone See Jesus When He Returns? - Matthew 24:29-51 (Session 51)

2026-10-3046:38

What will the return of Jesus actually look like? In Matthew 24:29–51, Jesus describes His return with dramatic language: the sun darkened, the moon withholding its light, the heavens shaken, the Son of Man appearing in the sky, the nations mourning, angels gathering the elect, and a great trumpet blast. Glenn and Steve trace these descriptions back to Isaiah, Joel, Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Daniel to show how Jesus’ words fit within the larger biblical teaching about the Day of the Lord. They ...

Was Matthew 24 Fulfilled in 70AD? - Matthew 24:15-28 (Session 50)

2026-10-2927:59

Was Matthew 24 fulfilled when Rome destroyed Jerusalem in AD 70, or was Jesus describing events that are still future? In Matthew 24:15–28, Jesus identifies a specific sign: the “abomination of desolation” spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place. When that event occurs, those in Judea are told to flee immediately. Glenn and Steve compare Jesus’ words with the historical events surrounding the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. They examine the timing of the sieg...

Are Wars and Earthquakes Signs the End is Near? - Matthew 24:1-14 (Session 49)

2026-10-2833:21

Are wars, earthquakes, famines, and global turmoil signs that the end is immediately upon us? Matthew 24 begins the Olivet Discourse, one of the most important prophetic sections in the New Testament. After Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple, His disciples privately ask Him about these events, His coming, and the end of the age. Glenn and Steve examine why those questions are essential for interpreting the chapter and why parts of biblical prophecy can have fulfillment in different ...

End Times Views Explained: Which One Fits the Bible Best? - Topical Session

2026-10-2741:03

Why do Christians have so many different views of the End Times? Before beginning Matthew 24 and the Olivet Discourse, Glenn and Steve pause the normal verse-by-verse study to provide a big-picture overview of biblical eschatology. This topical study explains the differences between premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism, along with preterism and dispensationalism. They discuss why some Christians understand the millennium as a future earthly kingdom while others understand i...

Did Jesus Believe that Every Word of Scripture Mattered? - Matthew 22:30-32 (Topical Session)

2026-10-2617:58

How much does one word in Scripture matter? In Matthew 22:30–32, Jesus responds to the Sadducees’ denial of resurrection by quoting Exodus 3:6: “I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had been physically dead for centuries, yet Jesus builds His argument around the fact that God says “I am,” not “I was.” That leads Glenn and Steve into two major doctrines: bodily resurrection and biblical inerrancy. They trace the expectation of resurrecti...
