WNS-03 JESUS EXPLAINS THE END OF THE WORLD

Always remember that JESUS is the BIGGEST PROMOTER of END TIMES PROPHECY!
What we are teaching NextGeneration missionaries is not what Dallas Seminary or Dispensationalists invented:
JESUS is the ULTIMATE AUTHORITATIVE TEACHER of PROPHECY!
This passage we just read was Christ's reply to His disciples’ questions about the future. This chapter is also called “The Olivet Discourse,” the greatest prophetic sermon Jesus ever preached. Since Luke wrote with the Gentile reader in mind, he didn’t record some of the strong Jewish parts of the sermon. What he records are the essential truths that we must consider and apply.
Remember that Israel and the Church are two separate and distinct parts of God’s plan-don’t confuse them. Remember Luke 21 was written to explain to the Jews and the Nation of Israel what God has planned for them. Notice as I read that he message is to people living in Jerusalem, Judea and about Israel. Jesus is not talking about the future of His Church but the destiny of His chosen people of Promise.
Jesus wouldn’t be giving signs for His Coming for His Bride, for that can occur at any time and no signs need to precede it (Jewish Wedding customs in Matthew 25, as well as 1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Remember that God's Word says, “For the Jews require a sign” (1 Corinthians 1:22); but we Christ's Church have been instructed that we are not to look for any signs but for our Savior (Phil. 3:20-21). Luke 21 is an inside look at a stage of God’s program called “the Tribulation”.
This period is when God pours out His wrath on the nations of the world. Most prophetic scholars believe that the Tribulation begins after Christ comes in the air and takes His church to heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11). The Tribulation ends at Christ's Return in glory to the earth, when He crushes His foes and establishes His kingdom (Rev. 19:1-20:6).
