In this reflection on Matthew 24, we walk with Jesus as he predicts the fall of Herod’s magnificent temple and, more profoundly, the end of the age. Drawing on vivid parables – the eagles circling a carcass, the budding fig tree, even the changing skies – he shows us how to read the warnings and signs pointing to Christ’s final return.
Key takeaways:
- Matthew 24’s prophecy has a dual fulfilment: Jerusalem’s destruction in AD 70 and the ultimate end of the age.
- Natural parables (eagles, fig tree, weather) equip us to discern God’s unfolding timeline.
- Believers are called to endure, remain watchful, and uphold holiness in anticipation of Christ’s coming.
