Contextual Meaning

Jesus began the Olivet Discourse by warning His disciples about the possibility of their concluding wrongly that He had returned or was just about to return. Kingsbury divided this speech on the "last times" as follows: (I) On Understanding Aright the Signs of the End ( Matthew 24:4-35); (II) On Being on the Alert for Jesus" Coming at the Consummation of the Age ( Matthew 24:36 to Matthew 25:30); and (III) On the Second Coming of Jesus and the Final Judgment ( Matthew 25:31-46).
