All of chapter 24 is prophetic in that Jesus is talking to his disciples (verse 3) and giving the signs or events that will come to pass before the second advent (coming) of him and his army ( Revelation 19:11-16). Items of note are:
1. Son of man is a term used by the Jews only (gentiles use the term son of God);
2. Verse 13 is a tribulation verse after the rapture;
3. Verse 14, this gospel is not the gospel we preach today (which is the gospel of the grace of God);
4. Verse 32 the fig tree is Israel (1948) is when they became their own state which you can liken to a tree budding. When you see trees beginning to bud you know summer is close;
5. The real significance of these signs is that they will all start and continue to increase in numbers and in intensity before the second coming of Christ, which we know that the rapture will happen 7 years earlier; which means the closer we get to the second coming of Christ, it is even closer for the rapture of the church.
As you watch the events in chapter 24 unfolding around the world these days you need to ask yourself, am I ready to come face to face with God almighty, which could happen at any moment? Examine yourself and see what faith are ye, II Corinthians 13:5.
