Read, reread and read the footnotes in numerous bibles, like you said Pastor Jeff, I’ve had to do some brain-cell re-arranging on this passage and let it settle in the heart… Still digesting some of the preaching and allowing the Truth to settle…
thanks Jeff for the straight up preaching of God’s Word… I’m still struggling with the end verses of this passage, wondering if Jesus switched the gears mid through the passage…
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

Amazing sermon and learned a lot from it last weekend.  It was also very insightful into understanding the Bible as whole: to find what was the context of what was being said to understand the intent.

Excellent expositional preaching! Refreshing to hear with clarity, conviction and courage preaching on the Olivet Discourse that does not parrot the popular dogma of premillennial eschatology.

Thanks Jeff for your treatment of this passage. It is encouraging to hear good expository preaching!

Hi Jeff:

We have attended Northview for a few weeks and have been blessed by your expositional approach to preaching.  (This past week’s sermon was powerful and moving.)  I understand you are a Dallas grad so that should not be surprising.  However, I was surprised that you hold to a preterist interpretation of eschatology.  Another grad of Dallas has some things to say about preterism and I have included the link in case you are interested.

You quoted Piper but he is not a preterist as his sermons on Romans 9-11 make clear, as does his book “The Justification of God - An Exegetical and Theological Study of Romans 9:1-23.”  On the other hand, another teacher I love to listen to and read is RC Sproul.  I believe he is preterist.  My problem with the preterist is that they are likely to subscribe to replacement theology.

Excellent sermon.  Too often Christians use verses without the context of the passage that the verse is contained in.  We need to understand the context of scripture rather than divorce the verses from the passages to understand the context of what Jesus is saying

Still not at rest with this passage. In the book of Mathew Ch 24, writes it a bit different then does Luke. Starts off in v.1-2 describing the Temple, then as stated, “a time later that evening, the disciples cam to him on the Mount of Olives and asked Jesus.

When will this take place, (likely suggesting the thought the Kingdom would be ushered in when the Temple was to be destroyed), so they asked will there be signs for them before He returns and the end of the world?

This suggests to me that not only does this passage in Luke and here in Mathew suggest AD70 the Temple destruction, but also pointing forward to a time for His return and the end of this world as we know it…

Can you help me with this passage in Mathew 24 that it doesn’t talk about the end times and the return of Christ tough it parallels Luke’s message.

Matthew 24:3(NLT)
3 Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?

Theology bantering

Many sincere thanks
Abraham

All I can say is after years of trying to figure out these scriptures, it makes total sense now. Thanks Jeff
