Generation watching world events in the Olivet Discourse - neilwani@aol.com
The generation watching world events in Matthew 24 32-51, Luke 21 29-38 and Mark 13 28-36 are told to watch for one particular day. This day is completely different than the day of the second coming. This day is to be watched by the generation that sees the Fig Tree bud and are told to watch Israel (Fig Tree) and trees (nations).
In Mark 13 28-36, there are 4 watches from sunset to sunrise. Mark 13 35 "Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back-whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch! Since the day in Israel starts at sunset, this watch is alluding to the watch for the new moon in the feast of trumpets. Mark 13 32 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. This idiom is used for the Jewish Feast of Trumpets. It is different than the day for the watch in Luke 12 35-48 which is the day of the second coming. In Luke 12 35-48, there are only 2 watches. And it is in the middle of the night, not between the entire night watch. The wise servants do not know the hour but it does not say they do not know the day. Because the antichrist will continue for 42 months, the wise servants will know Jesus will return 1260 days after the abomination (Rev 13-5 and Daniel 7-26). The master is coming from a wedding. On this day the wicked servants do not know the day or the hour but the wise know the day. On the day of the rapture, no man knows the day or the hour.
In Matthew 24 32-51, the day the generation that saw Israel bud is to watch for one day. Again this day, no man knows the day or the hour, only the Father. Matthew 24 36 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. In this parable, the church is Noah. Destruction is in the future as the church is raptured. In Genesis 7, Noah enters the ark twice. This parable is talking about the first time Noah enters the ark. Genesis 7-1 The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. Genesis 7-4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made. In this parable, the unrighteous are judged as hypocrites. The judgment on hypocrites are when the righteous are taken and the unrighteous are left behind. This is found in Matthew 25 1-13 and Matthew 7 21-23. In Luke 17 20-37, the passage is about the day of the second coming. Noah is referring to the tribulation saints on this day. The righteous and unrighteous are separated and on the same day, the unrighteous are destroyed. On this day, the unrighteous are taken and the righteous are left behind.
In Luke 21 29-38, again the day the generation that saw Israel bud is to watch for one day. It is clear in this passage that this day will be before the tribulation. Luke 21 34 "Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man. This is a different day than the day of the second coming in Luke 21 2-28. Luke 21 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. This is the second coming and every eye will see Him. The day of the rapture will not be visible to the world and is before the tribulation because we will escape all and stand before the Son of Man.
Matthew 25 1-13 is the separation of 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins. In this passage, the master is going to a wedding. The ones that are left behind say to open the door but the Lord does not know them. Matthew 25 10 "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. 11 "Later the others also came. 'Lord, Lord,' they said, 'open the door for us!' 12 "But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I don't know you. There is no door floating in the clouds in this world. The door must be referring to the door to heaven. Rev 4-1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this. In this passage the righteous are taken and the unrighteous are left behind. Again no man knows the day or the hour alluding to the feast of trumpets.
In Matthew 7 21-23, this is the same judgment and the righteous are taken and the unrighteous are left behind. Matthew 7 21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers! The ones taken are taken to the kingdom of heaven.
It is not a coincidence how these passages fit together to show the rapture and the second coming are different events. Little differences and omissions make a huge difference and there is a reason behind it. The difference like being judged with hypocrites or being judged with unbelievers. On the day of the second coming, the unrighteous are taken to where the vultures are or to outer darkness or eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels while the righteous are left behind. On the day of the rapture, Jesus will say to the unrighteous to "depart from me" or the unrighteous will be judged as hypocrites. No eternal destruction is mentioned. The hypocrites are left behind while the righteous are taken to the kingdom of heaven. The ones left behind ask for the door to be opened while the righteous are taken away and the door is shut. For the rapture, pray you will be counted worthy to escape all and stand before the Son of Man. For the second coming, look up for your redemption draws near. Keep in mind the second coming will be visible to the whole world. When 4 watches are mentioned, this is alluding to the feast of trumpets. On this day no man knows the day or the hour. When 2 watches are mentioned, the day is known by the wise servants. The wise servants will not know the hour. Since the wise servants know the day, this is not the rapture because the day of the rapture only the Father knows. When the master is going to a wedding this is the rapture. When the master is coming from a wedding, this is the second coming. Eternal destruction is always on the day of the second coming. When the wicked do not know until later when they are destroyed, this is the rapture.
