  1. Matthew 24 What is it all about?

  2. Figurative language of OT • The time limitation in verse 34 • Where we are in Jesus’ life • Remember what the apostles asked Matthew 24 – 4 Keys

  3. The temple and questions, vv. 1-3 • The tribulation, vv. 4-26 • The Son of Man comes in that generation, vv. 27-35 Matthew 24

  4. “The actual meaning of these words is, beyond question, that which takes a "generation" in the ordinary sense, as at Mark 8:12 and Acts 13:36, or for those who are living at the given period. So it was on this generation that the accumulated judgments were to fall. (Matt. 23:36) This therefore means that from 1914 a generation shall not pass till all is fulfilled, and amidst a great time of trouble." --Watchtower 1951 Jul 1 p.404

  5. “Eager to see the end of this evil system, Jehovah's people have at times speculated about the time when the ‘great tribulation’ would break out, even tying this to calculations of what is the lifetime of a generation since 1914. However, we bring a heart of wisdom in, not by speculating about how many years or days makeup a generation, but by thinking about how we ‘count our days’ in bringing joyful praise to Jehovah." (Watchtower Nov 1, 1995 p18)

  6. The temple and questions, vv. 1-3 • The tribulation, vv. 4-26 • The Son of Man comes in that generation, vv. 27-35 • More signs and warning to be alert, vv. 36-51 Matthew 24
