Summary

In this study of Matthew 24, Pastor Brian Gunter examines Jesus' warning about false Christs, the Great Tribulation, and the meaning of the Greek word parousia.   By tracing its use throughout the New Testament, Brian argues that Christ's "coming" in Matthew 24 refers to His bodily Second Coming at the end of history rather than merely the judgment on Jerusalem in A.D. 70.   Along the way, he explores key passages that shape the debate and offers a historic Christian understanding of one of Scripture's most discussed prophecies.
