The Olivet Discourse Decoded

Matthew records that Messiah pointed to "this generation" ten times. In the final time, Messiah said, "Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Matthew 24:34 The nine previous mentions are pointing to the Jews who opposed Messiah. Are we to believe that the tenth time that He described "this generation," that He is pointing to the end times? No !The context of Messiah's Olivet Discourse is the desolation of the temple that He was just in when He rebuked the Jews and said, "Verily I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation." All of the things that Messiah described from Matthew 23:36 to Matthew 24:33 were fulfilled by 70 AD when the Romans desolated Jerusalem, the temple, and the Jewish nation.The enemy has deceived people about the symbolism of the sun, moon, and stars being darkened; Messiah coming in power and glory; and the elect being gathered into the kingdom. But the Bible gives the proper definitions for the symbols. We need to take Messiah at His Word and look at how the things that He described were about the Jewish nation, for their punishment of continuing their rebellion against the Father, for delivering Messiah up to be killed, and for persecuting His disciples. The Olivet Discourse is directed related to the 70th Week of Daniel 9, which I cover in my previous book, which says that the city and temple will be desolated because of the abominations of the Jews. If you're seeking for truth, and not to defend a belief, this book will prove out the fulfillment of Messiah's Olivet Discourse. It will help you see that it's not about the end times so that you're not misled about the fulfillment of Revelation, as we await Messiah's promised return.

There are two key reasons to read this book. First, the 70th week of Daniel is the only prophecy in the Bible that foretold exactly when Messiah would start His ministry and when He would die for our sins.When you understand the fulfillment, you have tangible proof to give to the world, that the Bible is true and that Messiah is deity.The second reason is that the popular explanations for the fulfillment of Revelation are based on the concept of a futuristic 70th week of Daniel, an end-times seven-year tribulation period.When you understand that the 70th week of Daniel is about the Jewish nation waiting for their promised Messiah to appear in the first century; then you know that it's not about the antichrist.If you insist that the 70th week of Daniel has not been fulfilled, then read Daniel 9:24-27, and ask yourself these questions.During which week of the seventy-week prophecy did Messiah carry out his multiyear ministry? And in which week did He die for our sins? If you're honest with the text, you'll see that the only place for those events is in the 70th week.Regarding the 'covenant' of Daniel 9:27, it's the same covenant that Daniel just mentioned in Daniel 9:4, which already existed.It is the everlasting covenant that was made to Abraham, which Messiah came to 'confirm' with His blood as the Passover Lamb, which paid the price for our sins and ended the need for temple animal sacrifices.We'll all stand before our Righteous Judge to account for what we believe and teach about the most important prophecy in the Bible.I pray that you will read the explanations in this book about the 70th week of Daniel, compare it to Scripture, and discern it for yourself.

In the sacred pages, recorded in bygone ages, the prophet Daniel wrote cryptic passages about a Sanctuary system he had seen in a series of startling visions. We will explore Daniel's prophecies to capture their meaning and to test their accuracy. Various interpretations of Bible prophecy line the shelves of bookstores. Many are spine-tingling thrillers that are the product of a colorful imagination. Our study does not offer popular predictions and entertaining fiction. A solid interpretation of prophecy is founded on the rock of Scripture and is a revelation of what God wants us to understand in our sojourn through life. Seventh-Day Adventists and other earnest seekers have inherited a historical interpretation based on Bible study. Therefore, we will thoroughly test the Adventist interpretation and dates. We will see how the early prophecy pioneers wove together a tapestry of truths, and we will explore how the Adventist author, Ellen G. White, impacted the interpretation. Respectful Christians from every denomination hold different views on prophecy, but everyone should be familiar with the historical perspective. Daniel used a Hebrew calendar to mark his prophecy. Therefore, we must discover how Daniel's calendar measured time in those distant lands thousands of years ago. Amazingly, God buried papyri proof in the dry sands of Egypt to solve this marvelous time mystery. An ancient Hebrew civilization placed double-dated Papyri documents in earthen vessels and buried them on Elephantine Island. Our study provides a treatise on twenty papyrus contracts to establish their dates in absolute time so that we can reconstruct the old Jewish calendar. Our calendar reconstruction helps us to easily discover the timing for Passover, Christ's crucifixion, His timing, the birthdays of the twelve patriarchs, the sign of Jonah, and other biblical events. Bible symbology, historical accounts, ancient artifacts, and astronomical evidence work together to bring Daniel's prophecies to life. Ultimately, however, our prophetic studies must stand on the Sword of Truth, the Holy Writ. Early prophecy pioneers pieced their arguments together like a gifted jeweler arranges gemstones to form a sparkling crown, but their findings differ from the current popular consensus of events. The current consensus does not possess the same luster. Something is out of place. Therefore, we turned our attention to Passover Week in 31 AD to see if Daniel’s prophetic gemstones fit together to form a brilliant arrangement. We focused our monocle scope on the field of evidence, like biblical types and shadows, as though we were looking for the perfect gems. Consider the Bible Passover type. The biblical imperative required that feasters eat the sacrifice and consume all its remains by a smoldering fire during the night. Burning a sacrifice to ashes implies total surrender to the will of God. After the Seder ended, Jesus exclaimed, “… My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death” (Matt. 26:38). On that night, at midnight, with the crushing weight of the world pressing out blood from His pores like the sieve of an olive press, He prayed repeatedly that the cup He was about to drink might pass from Him. Every being in the universal realm possesses the power of choice, and the Lord is no exception. All the hosts of heaven waited to see if He would confirm the covenant vow He had struck with the Father at the foundation of the world. The tempest was fierce. An astonishing gust of agony assailed the Lord with blasting fury, and the “horror of great darkness” and depression smothered Him in that decisive hour. The fate of humanity swayed in the stormy gales. Jesus suffered intense mental anguish. “His visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men” (Is. 52:14). The broad and full Passover moon bore silent witness to the solitary scene. At last, in lonesome resignation, the Lord surrendered to the Father for the third time. The matter was settled. His will was consumed by the fiery flames of affliction into the will of His Father, which closed the Passover. Follow along while we brush away the sands of time to reconstruct the old Hebrew calendar. Discover how Jesus fulfilled those prophecies with precise accuracy.

Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.

"Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Have you ever wondered when in time this verse from Daniel would be fulfilled? When would this book be opened? This would be a time when a greater understanding of the End Times would be revealed that not even Daniel understood. This is what this book is all about. Over the last 3.5 years the books or scriptures have been opening to me. Revealing the greater picture of the End Times with clarity such as never been understood before, up until now. Here are a few questions that have been asked when it comes to the End Times:Which one is right? Pre-tribulation, Mid-tribulation or Post-tribulation rapture?What happens to the "sleeping church" if it is Pre-tribulation rapture?How does all the tribulation fit into 7 years, could it actually be more?How will the 7 churches in Revelation play out in the end?What does it really mean "as in the days of Noah"?Does Daniel 9 actually tell us 7 years?Why did the tribulation not begin when Israel was 70 years old?Are we to be baptized in Jesus Christ's name or the Father, Son and Holy Ghost?Why does everyone go to Matthew 24 to teach the End Times?Why do the gospels speak differently from each other about the same events? For example, the color of Jesus' robe at the crucifixion in each gospel, the resurrection accounts, the Olivet Discourse, and more? Who is the White Horse Rider and who are the Beasts spoken of in Revelation 6? This book will not only answer all these questions, but many more that have been asked for generations. It will also give answers to questions you may not even have considered. A whole new understanding and revelation of God's perfect plan through the ages will be opened up to your consideration and will drastically change your view of how it all fits perfectly together. I invite you to walk with me as we, together with the Holy Spirit, go from Genesis to Revelation in the opening of the End Time scriptures, like never before. A journey you will not regret. Shall we begin?

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

If you're a flat earther, have you studied the context of the verses which are being cited to proclaim that 'the Bible says flat earth'? This book goes through the 240 flat-earth verses that people like Nathan Roberts cite, to show you the proper context; because if you're promoting these verses, then you're accountable for the explanations. It gives a fresh perspective about the 'firmament' of Genesis; the 'circle' of Isaiah 40:22; the clay turned to the 'seal' in Job 38:13-14; the 'pillars' of 1 Samuel 2:8; the sun going forth in his 'circuit' of Psalms 19:6; and much more. If you know someone who believes that the Bible describes a domed, flat earth; I will help you understand their rationale in citing these verses. If you're a believer who's researching the flat earth, this book is critical for you. If you believe in the heliocentric universe, have you read what Moses, Job, David, and Isaiah; declared about the earth, the sun, and the stars? None of my pastors taught me what Scripture says about astronomy. The cosmology that's described in Scripture may surprise you. This book gives the context to see if Scripture describes a flat earth, a heliocentric globe earth universe or a geocentric globe earth universe. It's intellectually dishonest for people to not include the Tychonic geocentric globe earth model as an option in this discussion. Has the enemy created a false dichotomy, by making the debate only between the flat earth and the heliocentric globe earth? Satan is using the deception about the design of the universe and earth, to attack the authority of Scripture, to discount the Genesis creation narrative, and to promote the lie of evolution. This book is about much more than the flat earth debate. It's a Bible study which will open up your eyes and show you how the stars, which our Heavenly Father calls by name, are declaring the redemption plan of the set-apart. HalleluYah!
