The prophecies of Christ’s Second Coming will be fulfilled as are all Biblical prophecies, and we must be watchful and in prayer for our eternal lives and the eternal lives of all people.

From the time of the Fall until the Second Coming, there will be man-made and natural disasters – these are not the signs the end is near, but rather evidence of the sinful and fallen world in which we live (Vv. 8-11).

Prior to the destruction of the Temple, the Apostles will be persecuted, yet their persecution will result in their ability to share the Gospel (Vv. 12-19). This occurred during A.D. 33 – 70.

The Temple would be destroyed (Vv. 20-24). This occurred in A.D. 70.

The Second Coming will come on a future date when the wrath of God is poured out on this world. It will be as the prophets described, a great and dreadful Day of the Lord. Yet, those who trust in the Lord are to rejoice in that Day for it is the Day of our redemption.
