Christianity is confused and deceived. They exalt the person of Christ but reject His
message (Matthew 24:4-5). And they deceive many people. In this chapter,
Christ addresses that massive issue first.

How many Christian leaders do you hear even discuss Matthew 24? It is the
most important prophetic message Christ gave when He was on this
Earth! They talk about the person of Christ continually—but not His message.

Events Leading Up to the Sign
Christ taught the disciples about wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes that lead up to the sign of His Second Coming (verses 6-8). But these are only “the beginning of sorrows.” The sign comes at the end of sorrows.

Thousands of God’s own lukewarm people will be killed and hated. Many other people will be hated and betrayed (verses 9-10). 

Many false prophets (secular and religious) shall deceive many people (verse 11). Will that list include you? Not if you heed these words.

“Iniquity,” or lawlessness, shall abound—and even God’s own people have lost their God-given love (verses 12-13).

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (verse 14). This “end” is not the same Greek word as the “end” in verse 3. The translators tell us that the context must reveal which end is being discussed in verse 14. The context shows us that this is the end of the gospel being preached to the world, and then Matthew 24 begins to be fulfilled specifically. (Our literature will prove all of this to you.)

So this Matthew 24:14 end is not the end of this world, or age, discussed in verse 3.
