I have a question. Although I completely agree that Matthew 24 is fulfilled through Jerusalem's destruction, I do not see how Revelation fits the same premise. Jesus words at Matt 24 (synonymous with Luke 21/Mark 13) took over four decades to fulfill.
However, can it no be argued that Revelation had deeper meaning than the context of Matthew? The prophet aspects of Revelation compile some twenty chapters, beginning at chapter four, which do NOT express "coming soon, or immediately".
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is the only way to atone for your sins. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice because He lived a life without sin and died for you. He paid the price for our sins. It is a free gift of salvation that God offers to you. Will you accept it? I pray that you find truth in your life. Jesus is the only truth that anyone needs. God bless you as you seek after Him.
@lrich0207 Amen! focus should be on Jesus not on the signs of the times. As Christians how will we feel when the end does come and we spent all of our time telling people the end is coming but saying nothing about how to escape the wrath of God that comes at the end? We can't assume everyone has heard the gospel that we all need to repent and turn from our sins and trust and believe in what Jesus Chirst did to save us by dying on the cross in our place and rising again on the third day.
@lrich0207 Amen! as I said in my post, we should be focusing on the solution to the wrath that is to come at the end of things as we know them not on the signs of the wrath coming because we can't assume everyone has heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, the solution.

"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."
How could that have possibly been done in the 50-60yrs that these men had left on the planet? Why do you think Jesus said "Let the reader understand"? He is speaking to us, this generation!
What do you think the disciples would have done if Jesus said, "When they see these things..."? What do you think every generation thereafter would have said if the Bible read "When they see these things..."? There would have been an EPIC apathy problem in the church throughout history, worse than we already have now. That is why Jesus phrased it the way he did, that is why he spoke the PARABLE of the fig tree.
Sadly most people will rather listen to their emotions than to reason and logic.
I've gathered quite a number of informational videos from all kinds of different sources. If you want to compare different conspiracy theories or see some debunking theories you could probably find something of value on my page.
Some of you probably won't like the first source in the first playlist but I suggest you break through your conditioning (emotions) and just hear everyone out.

@garth428 Good point! Should there not be tons of material warning a nondistinct, future generation?
