    Jesus described the next end time event in the program for Israel following His return to earth, also referred to as the Second Advent, namely, judgment on living Israel in order to separate the saved from the unsaved.

    The Wise & the Foolish: Today I want to talk for a little while to do with this parable in Matt. 25: its important for us to understand who Jesus is talking about.

    Keep Watch & Be Ready

    In Jesus’ last sermon before He was betrayed, He stressed the need to keep watch and be ready for His return, emphasizing it with three parables. Are you doing what He expects from you? This ought to be our concern today.

    We’ve just read a portion of Jesus’ last sermon to His disciples before He was betrayed. • It stretches from Chapter 23 to 25, with a large part of it about His second coming. • This is the main theme of His long message. It is understandable, since He is about to leave them. • Jesus needs to tell ...read more

    (We invite you to visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) The prophecy of the Second Coming of Jesus is often either misunderstood by Christians themselves, or, the object of derision and ridicule among non-Christians.
