Description
-In this in-depth teaching, Pastor Robert explores part two of the four-part Bible Prophecy Series, diving into the Olivet Discourse—Jesus’ prophetic message found in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.
Discover how Christ’s words reveal near-future, ongoing, and end-time events, including the destruction of the Temple, the rise of false prophets, the abomination of desolation, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
This sermon explains how prophecy is fulfilled literally, how dual fulfillments work in Scripture, and why the Olivet Discourse is called “the spine of prophecy.” Learn how to stay watchful, live faithfully, and find hope in God’s unchanging Word as the world moves closer to Christ’s return.
