The Prophecy on Olivet

Robert Govett

Soft cover; 126 pgs.

*Which warnings and parables in Matthew 24 & 25 apply to Israel, and which to the Church? The context is the key.

At the end of Matt. 23, Jesus forsakes the Jewish Temple after having been rejected by their leaders. Then He takes His disciples up the Mount of Olives, in sight of the Temple, and He prophesies of the coming judgment at “the end of the age”.  They ask when it will be, and His answer in 24-25 is deftly dissected by Govett here, cross-referencing parallel portions in Psalms, Isaiah, Daniel, Zechariah, Luke and Revelation.

*Do you know the difference between the Lord’s presence (Gk- parousia) and His manifestation (epiphaneia)?

Govett presents a thorough summary of the Second Coming as beginning with a secret presence in the clouds, like a thief for His watchful believers, and ending at least 3 ½ years later with His sudden manifestation, like lightning to judge Antichrist and his armies. Where will you be at this time?
