TENTH PART: Third advice of Jesus and the sign of the end of the age.
Matthew 24: 7-14
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be plagues, and famines, and earthquakes in different places. 8 And all this will be the beginning of pain. 9 Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 Many will then stumble, and will give themselves up to one another, and will hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many; 12 and because wickedness has multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world, for a witness to all nations; And then the end will come.
Verse 7 nation against nation (Venezuela against USA, Syria against Turkey, Israel against Palestine and the Arab world). Kingdom against Kingdom (England left the EU) USA against Russia, China and North Korea. Plagues AIDS, Cancer, Zika, Flu etc. Famines in Africa and even in some regions of third world countries. Earthquakes occurring around the world and with increasing intensity and frequency. The Earth seems to suffer the abuses of the human being.
Verse 8 "Principle of Dolores"
What does this Principle of Dolores sound like? To labor and delivery.
If all these facts are the Principle of Dolores ...
The end will be the birth.
Birth of what? Will it be from the 70th week of Daniel? Will it be the end of the century? What is the end of the century?
To answer this question we will see the parable of the Wheat and the Tares.
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:36-43 KJV
When did the Son of Man sow the good seed in the world? (Verse 37 When Jesus came to Earth.
Who are the children of the Kingdom? (Verse 38) The Church.
The harvest is the end of the century (verse 39) where there will be a selection or separation as the Wheat is separated from the Tares. That separation will be made by the angels.
Like the separation that is narrated in Matthew 25: 31-34
Matthew 25: 31-34 ESV
31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on his throne of glory, 32 and all the nations will be gathered before him; and he will separate one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will put the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right: Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. (Matthew 25: 31-34 NIV)
The harvest or end of the century is to reap or gather or take the ripe fruit of the Wheat.
Mark 4: 26-29 KJV
26 He also said: This is the kingdom of God, as when a man puts seed on the ground; 27 and he sleeps and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows without him knowing how. 28 For the earth itself bears fruit, first grass, then ear, then full grain in ear; 29 and when the fruit is ripe, the sickle is immediately put in, because the harvest has come. (Mark 4: 26-29 NIV)
Therefore The Harvest or the end of the century is the Rapture of the Church. The Church will be mature.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:47-50 KJV
Let's notice something in all these quotes they separate the bad guys and put them in the fiery furnace. What is the fiery furnace?
It is the place where gold and silver are purified and tested. Therefore the fiery furnace is the hour of the test: The Great Tribulation or the 70th Week of Daniel.
