Comments Matthew 24:1 “And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple.” There is a gap of time between the events in this chapter and the events in Chapter 23. The Lord travels nonstop, especially when it is close to His time to leave the Earth. The Lord is travelling, travelling only, and there is no time for the Lord to rest; neither for the body nor the heart of the Lord to rest. These events here in this chapter are close to the departure time of the Lord.
“His disciples draw near to point out to Him the buildings of the temple.” This verse alone shows how the human mind thinks: the eyes see marvelous human works, marvelous of human hand work, but around the humans, the marvelous things the Lord made, nobody pays attention to. This verse describes this clearly.

Comments Matthew 24:2 The meaning of this verse is as it is written.

Comments Matthew 24:3 “The disciples came unto Him privately.” This shows the picture itself; the Lord was never alone. He always spent time with people around Him. His disciples had to find private time to be able to talk to Him. The purpose of the Lord Jesus’ coming to Earth is to teach and point the way to be saved and come to God the Father, but people choose to ignore the mercy of the Father.
“These things” refers to the destruction of the temple.
“What will be the sign of Thy coming, and of the consummation of the age?” Now, it shows the heart of His own disciples. Fear seized their hearts when they started thinking about what the Lord had said to them, that the city would be destroyed and that He would depart. The Lord wants to comfort them; it is nothing of what they see; what they will see that they should think of. Their minds were all confused, as we are confused even when it is written. His disciples didn’t have the written word, so how much more confusing was it for them?

Comments on the Temple of the Lord that will Help Understand End Time Events
The link (the Bible, the Word; see John 1:1) between His temple on Earth (the Lord Jesus’ human body of dust) and the Holy temple of His body (the heavenly body of the Lord Jesus) will be destroyed by the people that He came to save. But most importantly, we must remember that the body of the beloved Son of God will never be destroyed. He died on the cross, was buried, rose on the third day, and ascended to the Father. His body will never see decay (Acts 2:27, Acts 2:31, Acts 13:35). Humans have no heart or mind to think or appreciate what God has done, but they appreciate small things humans do (here, temple buildings). The narrow mind of humans cannot take things they see (created by God); how can they take things they cannot see (heavenly things)? [Material and spiritual things both walk parallel to one another, but the human mind will not notice the invisible things of the spiritual, even though they are side by side. If they cannot appreciate the things eyes can see, the things that eyes cannot see are nothing to them. The Earth itself is in the Lord, which tells us that the Lord is here already. He is telling us, I am already in everything around you; I am the temple, and nobody can destroy the body of the Lord Jesus, which is the true temple.]
What we say here refers to the connection of the Lord’s human body with the Earth. The Bible tells us that all humans are from the dust of the Earth. The Lord Himself, when He was born as a human, took the dust of the Earth to form the baby. In His human nature, He is linked with the Earth, which is why His human body must return to heaven (to spare the Earth, so the Earth doesn’t disappear).
Remember the verse in the Bible (Isaiah 66:1), what the Earth is, His footstool, this is part of His temple, the universe itself is His throne, everything is in His throne. Imagine this: the Earth itself is His creation. He created humans on Earth to enjoy His creation, but humans have destroyed the Earth itself. We humans are destroying God’s temple when we destroy the Earth. Don’t look for the small things; see the small things as one piece; don’t try to separate them apart; take them as a whole.
To link the Earth to His Holy temple, look to the Bible; the Bible is His temple on Earth now. People will try to change and destroy this temple (the Bible). When they come with the idea that the Bible is a human-made book, that is a time this verse will apply. Remember the Lord’s body will never be destroyed, He rose up in His body, and His body has returned to the Father, because everything is in the Father. That is why He rose up in the body to keep the Earth; (the Earth) will melt away; nothing left from the Earth but the Lord; He is already linked with the Earth by being born on the Earth and taking the dust of the Earth with him back. This is the Father’s plan: He created the Earth, He created all things in it, and He also has a plan for the Son to be born from the dust of the Earth to fulfill the circle of creation. Because the Lord’s creation cannot completely disappear, it will always have the link (the resurrected body of the Lord Jesus). Think of the human body, all will be gone, the Earth is gone, nothing left, but the Lord Jesus has the dust of the Earth in Him. The dust of the Earth, how to be up in heaven, but by the Lord Himself; He has spared the complete disappearance of the Earth.
Now we will go to the next step. Because of humans, this Earth will be destroyed; in the end, the Earth itself will melt away (2 Peter 3:10, Isaiah 51:6). When they crucified the Lord, the link is disturbed; when they crucified the Lord, the link of love from the Father is disturbed; the Father feels hurt to see humans crucify His begotten Son; this disturbed the link. The Lord’s body is from the Earth; the connection (the Holy Spirit) of His body and Earth is here, and the Lord is here; when He goes back (the Holy Spirit) (2 Thessalonians 2:7), the Earth will melt down. The Bible is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit on Earth because the Bible is the Living Word, which is why the Bible is referred to as the Holy Spirit dwelling. The Bible is the link between the believers and the Lord.

Comments Matthew 24:4-5 These verses warn humans: be aware of false christs who come to gather the Lord’s children away (those who ignore the warnings of the Lord). Even in the Bible, many places warn you to listen to the Lord speaking in your heart, to hear, and match what you hear with your ears with the Word of God. Many people will come telling things; the proof is in front of your eyes, in the Bible. Use the Word of God to judge; by your own understanding, you will be led astray; only the Word of God can judge; meditate, pray, and let the Word of God be the food of your soul. The Word of God will be a shield to protect you; that is the best protection available to humans, but not everyone takes it; some have the Bible just to keep it on the shelf; that will not help. Read and meditate on the Word of God.
“I am the Christ.” “I am the Christ”. The Lord Jesus is the Word, as the Bible tells us in the Gospel of John 1:1). But when they say “I am the Christ”, that will happen after they come to tell you that a new bible has been found; the new christ has been found (meaning false bible translation). When that time comes, you will hear that many, many false christs (false bible translations) will appear. When they attack the Bible, that is the beginning of false christs to come; be aware of your heart; they will attack the Bible to wither the faith in your heart. When false christs come, many signs of warning will be, but many will choose to ignore them. Some will impersonate and claim to know the word more than many know, and will use the false word to lead people to believe that they are the lord who has returned. They will even perform miracles, but do not forget that the dark side has covered that person. The power they will use is not from the Lord, but the power of the dark; they use their bible, because that bible is the fake one; the dark cannot use the true Bible, but they can use the false one; be aware. They crucified the Lord Jesus, but the Lord sent His Word and made the true Bible for us. Because the Word that came, the Bible, is the root of faith to the new generation, the first thing to attack is the foundation. The Bible is the temple of the Holy Spirit on Earth, and all the attacks of the dark are meant to destroy this temple.
When they fake the finding, the finding of the Bible manuscript, then wrong translations by humans will come to humans. Some words in the true Bible that create double meanings will be cut off, and they will start to claim that the true Bible has mistakes, and the false manuscript will be used to fix the true Bible. By technology, the fake manuscript evidence will be found. By technology, it can make the brand new things look old (make the evidence to support the new bible); this will come with many proofs of findings and will make the majority fall into that trap, and will make many believe. They will start from a few words that humans believe shouldn’t be in the true Bible. Humans nowadays, if you claim it is by the power of new technology that you found the truth, will get humans to listen; humans worship technology. Technology is useful when used in the right way, but not in the wrong way. If they can change one word in the true Bible, then the false translation will be found to support the idea. The dark just needs the idea to make humans think, and then they will believe. Be aware, be aware, read the true Word of God, meditate on the true Word of God.

Comments Matthew 24:6 The wars and rumors of wars will still continue non-stop; what we are hearing now is not yet enough. As the Bible tells, kingdom against kingdom, not a small country, the giants of the world are going to start wars. But at first, the dark will start fighting against believers with all their might to sway many. Money always has a voice, and that will be the trouble for small countries. Because they are small, they will surrender and let those with more power prevail, but they don’t know what they are putting themselves into, and it is just the beginning; only the worst will come later. It is easy for people to see how they can make the world busy: money, money control. Money can create jobs, money keeps people busy making money; money controls the mind, just think how to make more money; a slave of the money, that is a human being. Even now, how many countries are controlled by money borrowing, and that number will grow; some will come to offer: I give, I give, if you do this, and many, many countries in need will go and join them. Money is the root of all evil, as the Bible has told us, now and then, even in the future, money controls.

Comments Matthew 24:7 “Famines and earthquakes in diverse places.” What we have seen in the world, the worst is not yet as it will be. This verse tells us the worst will come; what it is right now is nothing yet. One day, you will wake up, you will hear how many have died of hunger, and no one can help. It will be the case worldwide, not just in one area: a worldwide disaster, and nobody can help anyone; and people will hate each other; the hatred will give power for surviving.

Comments Matthew 24:8 “Beginning of birth pains” or “Beginning of travail.” These birth pains are ones you can’t escape. You will have to take the pains as a woman giving birth. She can’t stop; even though it hurts, she still has to go through. This verse says it is the same way: it is just the beginning, and the pains can’t be stopped, as a woman can’t stop while she gives birth. Same as the suffering of life, it is suffering but can’t be avoided; there is no choice to choose; that is why it is compared with giving birth. How can the Christian avoid the pains? The Lord will not just come and rain down peace for Christians only; that is why the Bible tells us that whoever can keep until the end will be saved; many passages show this (see verse 13).

Comments Matthew 24:9 This verse itself speaks of the time before the Lord’s return. All mentioned here will happen before the Lord’s return to take His people. Be aware, humans: do not give up; it is not a threat, it is a warning for all who believe. Do not worry for those who do not believe; in that time, not that they never heard of the Lord; they heard, but they ignored. It is not that they do not know; everybody knows. The Bible has warnings referring to this; this verse is a warning.

Comments Matthew 24:12 “Lawlessness” or “Iniquity.” This lawlessness relates only to the love of God, forgiveness for one another, and love for each other. When we have no love, we give room for hate to come. If we keep filling our hearts with love for God, hate has no room to come in. Always, the Bible gives a way out for us to not fall into lawlessness: read the Bible and meditate on it, and you will find the way out.

Comments Matthew 24:14 “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole world.” This proclamation of the Gospel means that every ear and heart knows about the Lord. Still, in many places on Earth, they have never heard of the Gospel yet; there is still a long way to go. The Word still needs to be proclaimed in Canada itself; not everyone has heard the good news of the Gospel. Canada is a big country; the Gospel is so little spread; still, many do not know the Lord, but are going out to spread the Gospel, even though they couldn’t do it inside. How can the blind lead the blind? See Luke 6:39.
“For a testimony” refers to the Good News (the Gospel) of the Son of God, which tells us that He has come down on Earth and shed His blood for all mankind. That is why the Good News must go throughout the Earth; when the end times come, no one can say it is not fair, for they have all heard the Good News of how to be saved. The Lord is the God of judgment; He gives all nations the chance to know how to be saved. When the wrath of God is poured down, no one can speak against what God is doing.

Comments Matthew 24:15 This verse refers to a period of time before the Lord’s return. Before the Lord’s return, the Lord gives the understanding of this verse; each individual touched by the Word of God will receive the understanding.
“Abomination of desolation.” Watch for the false translation and the false bible throughout the whole world. If you have the false bible in the world, you will have a false temple. Therefore, watch for the coming of the false bible and who will build the temple in Jerusalem. The people who will find this false bible will claim that the temple as written in the true Bible is not true. If they claim they find something and try to correct the Bible about the temple of the Lord, which is described in the Bible, they will also find a place and build a new temple to fit the new false bible they have found. It is a blasphemy to claim something is not true in the Bible.
“Let him that reads understand,” tells us that the weight of responsibility is the same; here, each individual is responsible for reading and meditating on the Word, but before the Lord’s return, the Lord gives understanding.

Comments Matthew 24:22 As the Bible tells us, all disasters and tribulations will come upon the Earth. The whole Earth will be affected; the Bible is clear: there will not be many people left on Earth in the end time (Isaiah 13:12). In many places in the Bible, it is clear about this. A few true believers who have special duties will be left on Earth to do the work, but so few humans will be left over. All the technology will be of no use at that time; just finding food alone will be hard enough; there will be no need for technology. It will be very hard for those left over, but the mercy of God makes that time shorter; otherwise, none would be left over.

Comments Matthew 24:23-24 See Comments Matthew 24:4-5.

Comments Matthew 24:27 Each individual’s eyes will see when the Lord returns; not by technology to see; that is why the Bible tells us, like lightning (speed of the light), every eye will see; not technology light, the Lord’s lightning, that is the speed that is being talked here about. The speed of the Lord’s return is faster than the speed of human technology; it cannot be compared. To understand, you can think of something similar to the whole Earth having a vision at the same time. As the Bible tells us, vision is like going in a trance, and that is how everyone will see the Lord’s return, in a vision. How to make people on the other side of the Earth see the Lord at the same time? Now the Bible tells us “in trance”. This is the mercy of the Lord, why in vision; in vision, everyone has a chance to see at the same time, One God of the Earth returning; that is why it must be in trance, to be exactly at the same moment to see the Lord Jesus’ return and eliminate boasting. Remember, the Bible tells us that we will see Him coming on the cloud (see Revelation 1:7).

Comments Matthew 24:28 This sentence is to be taken in a spiritual way of thinking. All the carcasses of the Earth, not human bodies but the souls of humans, the ones that did not come, all of them that did not come to the cross, will be thrown into one place. All the evil ones (the vultures) will go there and have a feast on, as it is written, they go to eat the carcasses.

Comments Matthew 24:29 Within this verse, two gaps of time are hidden in the time, the heaven time (the time of the Father): one is a human time gap (within our Earth time), and one is a spiritual time gap (within the parallel Earth time). These time gaps form the point of separation between the human Earth and the parallel Earth. Right now, the human time and the spiritual time go along side by side, parallel. When they are parallel, we do not see; they must be separated out from being parallel to see. When separation time comes (of being parallel), we will see the parallel Earth, but it is a long period of time for humans; many generations will pass through time before they can see the parallel Earth with their eyes.
Imagine heaven time as a whole; within this time, there is contained the earthly time and the spiritual time, which are separated by a gap. The heaven time is the time of the Father. Hidden in time: one is the human time gap, and the other is the spiritual time gap. The spiritual world has its events timed by spiritual time, and the human world has its events timed by human time. The heaven time has knowledge of both times and of what’s happening in both worlds. Also, the Bible talks about many interferences (time overlap) within our world from the spiritual world. 
“The sun will be darkened” means that human time will be stopped; the Father uses His hand to block the sun, and this action will create a gap between human time and spiritual time (spiritual time continues while human time is stopped).
The main point of this verse rests in the last part, when “the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” This is a time point of sharing events that come between the human Earth and the parallel Earth. Right now, these times go alongside each other; when they are parallel, we do not see; they must overlap for us to see. When the overlap time comes, we will see the parallel Earth, but it will be a long period of time for humans; many generations will pass through time before they can see the parallel Earth with their eyes.
A warning comes for this verse. Watch, some with fake understandings will come, but no human should know in detail about this verse; don’t forget, this verse specifically refers to the throne of God, which is why it is forbidden to know.

Comments Matthew 24:30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven.” See comments on verse 27 to understand how this sign will appear to all people on Earth and how it can come to the east and west to see: the trance (vision) will come into effect for the whole Earth. The sign people will see: the Lord sitting on the throne, with the cloud above Him (as mentioned many times in the Bible). How glorious the scene will be for humans to see the throne of God coming down from heaven.

Comments Matthew 24:31 “He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet.” The sign will be in the sky, and humans will hear the sound from heaven: the sound coming from the sky. His army will blow the trumpet sound, shaking the sky; even humans on Earth will feel the sky shaking. This is the point when humans will see His army come in the sky riding on the clouds of heaven; the army of angels riding on the clouds to proclaim the Lord’s return. Humans will see this just before the Lord comes back to Earth.

Comments Matthew 24:32-33 It will come that people will use these verses to make up a belief story. The story that has proven that the Lord has returned. But this will be talking about the fake christs, by what happens around the world; they will use this parable as a comparison to preparing the path for the fake christ.

Comments Matthew 24:34 “This generation” refers only to the generation of believers with true faith: from the beginning, the first man born, until the last man born before the Lord returns. Remember that this verse talks about true believers.
“Shall not pass away” is the faith that the true believers have in them; it will not pass away from them because the Lord Himself is the One who helps them to keep that faith. Therefore, there will always be a remnant of true believers on Earth from the first man on Earth until the Lord’s return.

Comments Matthew 24:35 This verse has a complete meaning. It is a comparison, so let the reader understand.

Comments Matthew 24:36 The original text clearly says, “nor the Son,” but do not forget the Trinity itself: the God of Three but One in unity; the duty may be different, but the power and authority are One, and the Father is above all. Think about it this way: in the Father Himself is the unity of the Three, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit; all of them are in unity as One in the Father. Also, remember that all is in the Father, and everything belongs to the Father.
Those who claim to know “that day and hour” have acted in an abominable way, the unforgivable sin. No one, not even the Son Himself, could speak to represent the Father in this matter, so no one can; how foolish they are. Do not listen to them; how dare they try to represent the Father? The Son and Holy Spirit couldn’t represent the Father in this matter, so how can the ones He created represent Him?

Comments Matthew 24:37-39 These verses explain the moment when the event, the coming of the Son of Man, will occur. It is telling that no one knows that time. The flood covered the Earth, and no one knew: all did their own activity. In the same way, the Son of Man will come, suddenly, will just happen: no one knows, not even the angels. That is why no prediction is possible; the verse clearly tells us: no prediction. These verses are not meant to judge the time; they only say that no one knows the time.

Comments Matthew 24:40-41 These verses have a hidden meaning: the human body cannot be caught up in the air straight, but it will be in a similar way with the transfiguration; the human body is transformed and caught up in the air to glorify the Lord in the air. Then all of those who have been caught up will go to be with the Lord. This is the first caught up, but there will still be humans left on the Earth. The first caught up does not include the Christians in name, for all the Christians in name will be left over on Earth, because the Christians in the name don’t have their heart given completely to the Lord.
“One is taken, and one is left” is just an example to show that not all people on Earth will be caught up in the air; only a small number will be caught up, not 50% but a small number. The Bible tells us that a small number will be captured first (see Matthew 22:14).

Comments Matthew 24:42 “Be awake” or “watch” is the position to think about; here, it is not the body that must be awake but the heart. So, abide by the Word of God at all times, and the Word of God will keep your heart awake and waiting.

Comments Matthew 24:43-44 As these verses tell us, we do not know the day or the hour when our Lord Jesus is coming back, so stay awake and be ready. That is why a follower of the Lord Jesus needs to meditate on the Word of God and memorize Bible verses: in that way, our hearts stay awake

Comments Matthew 24:45 “Faithful and wise servant.” The faithful is the person who is willing at all costs to follow, and the servant is the person that the Lord has called for certain duties. There are many duties in the kingdom of God; the Lord calls many servants. The wise servant is the one who gets certain duties; to do the work, the wise ones are needed.
“Household” in this place refers to the church that holds on to the name of the Lord to worship, not to those churches that are set up just for social service (entertainment) and not for worshiping the Lord.
“The master” here refers to the Lord Jesus.
“Them” refers to the believers who come to the Lord and worship the Lord among believers; not believers who stay in their place, no acting of worship to come to the Lord; all need to come with the heart to worship and glorify the Lord. “The food in due season.” Now, this is not food for the body, but spiritual food by teaching the Word of God, not from themselves but from the Lord. Before teaching, the servants must come to glorify the Lord and ask the Lord for the message, not prepare the message one week ahead. The message is right now to give to the people; the Lord gives the message right away, when it is the right time. When it mentions about “the food in due season,” it is related to the food for the spiritual, regarding each moment of time that the soul has interaction with the Lord, and brings joyful praises to glorify the Lord with the soul. And in those moments, the soul needs different food. Some food the soul got from reading, some food from meditating in the Word, and another food from fasting (abstaining from food for the human body to present the spiritual food for the soul).

Comments Matthew 24:46-47 “He will set him over all his possessions.” This refers to the ones that the Lord calls for that place, a specific place. The Lord will give him (that servant) the duty to give the message according to the Lord’s will, not the will of the person; this is not easy, but it should be based on trusting and asking the Lord for help.

Comments Matthew 24:48-49 “Evil servant.” They are called this way because of the actions that the servant treats the Lord’s children; whoever who mistreats the Lord’s children will be called an evil servant.
See also Comments Luke 12:45.

Comments Matthew 24:50 Be aware of the world; they will poison the mind with the idea that the Lord is not coming. This verse says, “He comes when no one expects.” Everything goes well for that person: they succeed in life on Earth but fail in the life of the soul. The Lord comes fast, as a flashing of light; be aware: when He comes, you don’t have time anymore to repent, His coming is too fast.

Comments Matthew 24:51 See Comments Luke 12:46.
