## Resource

Are modern earthquakes, wars, and global chaos signs that Jesus is about to return? In this episode of Richard Reacts, Richard Henry responds to popular end-times claims surrounding Matthew 24 and the tendency to interpret every earthquake, war, or disaster as evidence that the end is near. Richard examines Jesus’ words about wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution, and the “end of the age” in their original context. Were these warnings primarily about events thousands of years in the future—or about the judgment coming upon Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70? Instead of reading today’s headlines back into biblical prophecy, Richard challenges Christians to read Matthew 24 in context, abandon sensational “newspaper exegesis,” and recover a more confident view of Christ’s kingdom and its advance throughout history. What do you think? Are modern earthquakes signs of the end—or have Christians been reading Matthew 24 incorrectly? Let us know in the comments.
