I have been trying to show you, in my last sermon that it will be impossible to really understand the time references in regard to what these 3 parallel passages on Eschatology are teaching, in Matthew 24: 27-29, Luke 21: 24-28 and Mark 13: 24-27, unless you can grasp the idea that the Lord Jesus is answering the disciple’s questions by simultaneously referring to 3 separate events in Church History. Each of these 3 events involves Christ’s coming as our King in judgment upon a false system which is trying to deceive His people. And each of these 3 events also involves the in-gathering of all of God’s Elect either during the judgments that He brings, or subsequent to the judgments that He brings. And so, in order to give the fullest scope to answering His disciple’s questions, He has deliberately woven 3 time references together in the answers that He gives. He has done this in order that all generations might be told how He would come literally spiritually, in the first two of these comings, in judgments against these great systems of unbelief and false doctrine which hinder the advance of Christ’s kingdom. And He would have us to know that these 2 spiritual comings are types of His returning literally, personally, and visibly in the third; that is His literal physical appearing in power and glory, to raise the dead, judge the world, and gather all His people to Himself.
