THE SECOND COMING (7 x 7) |
I. Judgment on Jerusalem—Then Desolation Until Coming of Christ 1. WHEN ARMIES COMPASS JERUSALEM
HER DESOLATION IS NIGH
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know
that the desolation thereof is nigh. Luke 21:20.
2. JUDGMENT APPOINTED BECAUSE
JERUSALEM KNEW NOT TIME OF VISITATION
If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things
which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a
trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every
side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children
within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon
another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. Luke
19:42-44.
3. THESE ARE DAYS OF VENGEANCE
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let
them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that
are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of
vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Luke
21:21,22.
4. EVERY STONE OF THE TEMPLE
TO BE THROWN DOWN
See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not
be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Matt. 24:2.
5. HOUSE TO BE LEFT DESOLATE
0 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest
them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy
children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her
wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you
desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till
ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matt. 23:37-39.
6. CHRIST WARNS THE DAUGHTERS
OF JERUSALEM
Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves,
and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the
which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that
never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they
begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover
us. Luke 23:28-30.
7. JERUSALEM TO BE TRODDEN DOWN OF GENTILES TILL END OF AGE
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the
Gentiles, until the times of the Gen-tiles be fulfilled. Luke 21:24.
|
II. Intermediate Events to Take Place
During the Age (The Beginning
of Sorrows)
1. FALSE PROPHETS SHALL ARISE
Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And many false prophets
shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matt. 24:4,5,11.
2. THERE SHALL BE WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not
yet. Matt. 24:6.
3. THERE SHALL BE KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM, FAMINES, PESTILENCES,
EARTHQUAKES
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
divers places. Matt. 24:7.
4. GREAT PERSECUTIONS OF BELIEVERS
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to
councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be
brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against
them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But
when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought
beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but
whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is
not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Mark 13:9-11 (Compare Matt.
24:9).
5. DIVISION AND STRIFE AMONG PROFESSORS
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and
shall hate one another. Matt. 24:10 (Compare Mark 12:12).
6. APOSTASY IN THE CHURCH
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoso readeth, let
him understand). Matt. 24:15.
2. THOSE IN JUDAEA TO FLEE (FULFILLED
ALSO IN 66-70 A. D.)
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him
which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his
house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his
clothes. Matt. 24:16-18.
3. DAYS OF AFFLICTION WORSE THAN
ANY SINCE BEGINNING OF CREATION
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the
beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither
shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no
flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath
chosen, he bath shortened the days. Mark 13:19,20.
4. TRIBULATION SUCH AS WAS NOT
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matt.
24:21 (Compare Mark 13:19).
5. INTENSITY OF JUDGMENT SO GREAT
THAT TIME MUST BE SHORTENED
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be
saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Matt.
24:22.
6. FALSE CHRISTS SHALL SHOW
GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect. (Compare Mark 13:21,23).
7. DISCIPLES WARNED NOT TO
FOLLOW FALSE PROPHETS
Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto
you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the
secret chambers; believe it not. Matt. 24:25, 26.

and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Luke 17:26, 27 (See Matt
24:37-39).
2. SIGN OF THE DAYS OF LOT

know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. Luke
21:24,29,30.
5. SIGN OF THE GENERATION WHICH
SHALL SEE THESE THINGS BEGIN
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is

shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Matt. 24:33-35.

snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole
earth. Luke 21:35.
3. WATCH LEST MASTER COME AT EVEN, MIDNIGHT, COCKCROWING, OR MORNING
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house

THE DAY NOR THE HOUR
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein
the Son of man cometh. Matt. 25:13.
5. WATCH FOR YOU KNOW NOT WHAT HOUR YOUR LORD DOTH COME
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But

suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for
in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Matt.

God is nigh at hand. Luke 21:28,31.

other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one
shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left. Luke 17:33-36. (See
Matt. 24:40-41).
